Enhancing the enjoyment of taking pictures with news that matters, features that entertain and images that delight. Published frequently.
1 July 2025
We've just archived Volume 14, Number 6 of Photo Corners on the Archive page with 15 Features, 12 commented News stories, 24 Editor's Notes (which included 138 items of interest), no reviews and one site note for a total of 52 stories.
Not only did we publish three more features than news items but the Editor's Notes included a paltry 138 items. A year ago we found 171 items to amuse you and the news outran the features.
We did manage to publish 116 images in 18 of those stories. And celebrate one holiday while publishing five stories with gear specifications (so there was some news). We also marked three obituaries.
We do apologize for the lack of reviews. We're still suffering from double vision, making them look (to us) twice as hard.
FOR THE SECOND MONTH in a row, our readership numbers are not inflated by spurious bots. We certainly sympathize with Ric Ford at Macintouch, who has had to shut down his site as a result of the same phenomenon. Here, we saw a 113 percent increase in visits while serving 1,125,572 pages. Unique sites were 108 percent higher than May.
All of our top 10 stories were Horn columns except for Herbert Migdoll's obit. But it's a little unfair, as we've pointed out before, to rank stories that vary between zero and 30 days old.
WHICH IS OUR WAY OF POINTING OUT you'd be missing something if you don't peek at our An Indigo Interior, which itself takes a peek at Adobe's Project Indigo camera app. We published that on the last afternoon of the month, so it won't even show up in our reports until later today. But it's a real world look at a new approach to processing smartphone captures using computational photography to make those captures more resemble what you get from a camera.
OM System is also taking a new approach but, unlike Adobe, it's going in the opposite direction, adding computational photography to its cameras so they produce refined images as easily as a camera.
There's another difference, though, which we find instructive. Adobe's approach can deliver a Raw file whereas Olympus delivers its magic as JPEGs.
That was probably the most important news June had to deliver. If you've been reading Photo Corners, you didn't miss it.
