Promising not just an incremental improvement but a leap in image editing technology, this software is poised to redefine the boundaries of what’s possible in photo editing.

The Heart of Innovation: AI-Driven Noise Reduction

With the introduction of AI-based RAW image demosaicing, ON1 NoNoise AI 2024 ensures that noise reduction is applied at the most foundational level, promising unparalleled results.

Empowering the Photographer: Enhanced Usability and Performance

ON1 NoNoise AI 2024 isn’t just about superior noise reduction capabilities; it’s also about putting the power back into the hands of the photographer. The redesigned user interface is a testament to this, offering a sleek, modern look coupled with an intuitive user experience. Whether you’re a seasoned photo editor or someone just starting out, ON1 NoNoise AI 2024 provides you with powerful tools at your fingertips. Features like advanced layer editing and the new AI Deblurring Model for reducing motion blur are particularly noteworthy, offering creative possibilities that were previously hard to achieve. Performance enhancements, including faster processing and batch exporting, further streamline the editing workflow, making it more efficient than ever before.

A Look to the Future: Pricing and Availability

As ON1 NoNoise AI 2024 hits the market, it does so with an attractive proposition for early adopters. Currently available for preorder at a discounted price, the software also offers additional benefits for existing ON1 product owners and ON1 Everything subscribers. This strategic move not only makes the latest in noise reduction technology accessible to a broader audience but also reinforces ON1’s commitment to its user community. With support for numerous new camera models, ON1 NoNoise AI 2024 is not just a tool for today but a foundation for tomorrow’s photographic innovations.

With each iteration, ON1 continues to push the boundaries of what photo editing software can achieve. ON1 NoNoise AI 2024 stands as a beacon of progress in the digital photography landscape, promising to bring us one step closer to the ideal of perfect images.

Edited Press Release

Keeneland Library received a history-making gift from six-time Eclipse Award-winning photographer Barbara Livingston, who has donated an estimated two million photographic negatives from the collection of famed Turf photographer Jim Raftery.

Raftery’s Turfotos Collection is the most comprehensive photographic collection of Thoroughbred racing in 20th century North America, chronicling the sport’s human and equine legends for nearly 60 years, from the late 1930s through the early 1990s.

“We are incredibly grateful to Barbara for placing this incomparable historic industry asset in our care,” Keeneland Library Director Roda Ferraro said. “The Raftery Turfotos Collection is the largest gifted still image acquisition in Keeneland Library history, and we are honored to preserve Jim Raftery’s legacy for future generations of researchers, writers and racing fans.”

Livingston, the longtime chief photographer for Daily Racing Form, acquired the Turfotos collection from Raftery’s family in 2020 as part of her personal quest to preserve racing’s photographic history.

“Jim Raftery was among the all-time great racing photographers; he was stunningly prolific and a character to boot,” Livingston said. “I gave the majority of negatives and slides from the Raftery Collection to Keeneland Library because they will provide the collection a safe haven.

“I grew up inspired by so many photographs from the collections of Skeets Meadors, C.C. Cook, and more, that Keeneland Library provided to others for their use,” she said. “I saw how the Library preserved these collections, as well as the respect they have for history and photographers. The Library was clearly the right choice for me and, more importantly, it was the right choice for Jim Raftery and his family. Jim Raftery’s name will now continue to be seen and, with Keeneland’s help, his photographs will no doubt inspire future photographers, racing historians and racing fans.”

In December, Ferraro traveled to Livingston’s home in upstate New York to coordinate the four-day move of 3,300 pounds of negatives via truck to a climate-controlled off-site storage facility in Lexington.

The Library began processing the collection in January, an undertaking that given its size and scope will span decades. Bin by bin, the negatives will be rehoused in archival enclosures and stored in the Library’s 24/7 temperature- and humidity-controlled vault.

Each negative will be indexed and triaged for digitization. An internal indexing system, custom-built by the Library for this project, will render each negative searchable by place, horse, race, person and date, among other metadata fields.

“Without an intake, archival rehousing, processing and indexing workflow customized to this uniquely rich and sizable collection, we would have two million inaccessible negatives,” Ferraro said. “We created a system centered on access and preservation of the negatives in their original form and, when warranted by condition or a high likelihood for potential future use, a digital form.”

The most imperiled negatives will be digitized during processing. Select others will be digitized to respond to patron image requests after each respective negative is indexed and searchable.

“This is a painstaking, slow-moving process, particularly when we encounter negatives that require research to build our collection index with as much identifying information as possible,” Ferraro said. “It can be daunting to look ahead to the roughly two million negatives, but as with all our photograph collections, this is a critical preservation effort that will enhance our capacity to serve our global user base and tomorrow’s public and industry stakeholders.”

Keeneland Library works with the entire industry daily to connect journalists, writers, filmmakers, educators and publicists to its photography holdings for use in articles, books, documentaries and exhibits along with race track and farm promotional materials.

SCOTTSDALE, AZ (3TV/CBS 5) — You may know Randy Johnson for his time on the mound with the Arizona Diamondbacks, but did you know the former pitcher is also a well-known photographer?

Just in time for spring training, you can soon see the artwork of the Diamondbacks’ legend. Beginning Friday, Johnson’s photography will be on display at the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art.

Johnson started photography in the early 1980s before his time with the team. “I think a lot of people think I just got into it when I retired but I started photojournalism at USC while I was playing baseball on a scholarship there. I was learning about film photography and working for the college newspaper,” he said. “Then I gradually transitioned into my baseball career when I got drafted by the Montreal Expos in ‘85 out of college. Then photography took a backseat.”

After retirement, Johnson says he enjoyed traveling to Africa, which is the focus of the exhibit. “I’ve been there about five, six times. It’s a vast continent. There’s just so many areas to travel to and see so many different things and that’s what I’ve tried to capture here,” he explained.

An open reception will be held for Johnson’s exhibit on Friday, Feb. 23 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Tickets are free, but you must reserve yours. To reserve or find out more information, click or tap here.

Santa Monica Pier is a favorite spot amongst both tourists and locals to Southern California. The colors of the beach, the food stands, the Pacific Pier amusement park make for a uniquely quirky mix that can only be found there. French photographer Helene Havard, who visits the area often, set out to capture the vibrancy of this area. By working with her signature, Wes Anderson-like colors, she heightens the dreamy quality of these laidback scenes.

“Santa Monica Pier is a place I find magical, especially at sunset. I used to come here, as I live in French Polynesia and go very often to Cali either for pleasure or to fly to different countries,” Havard tells My Modern Met. “Each time I come to LA, I like this place for the retro feeling it has. Everything seems from another time. It feels a little bit surreal according to my taste.”

In Havard’s pastel-toned images, Santa Monica Pier looks like a place where it’s always Sunday afternoon. People line up for hot dogs and burgers, ride the world-famous ferris wheel, walk on the sand, and simply bask under the warm California sun. While these places have long been used as film locations, Havard further elevates the cinematic potential of this place with simple creative choices, like narrative framing and a unique palette.

Scroll down to check out Havard’s tribute to Santa Monica Pier, and follow her on Instagram to stay up to date with her latest photographic adventures.

Marine photographers from all over the planet submitted to a contest that will pull your heartstrings in every direction imaginable.

The Underwater Photographer of the Year contest dates back to 1965. While this year’s winners and finalists scored shots that would have been impossible to imagine back then, they also captured timeless themes and intimate moments from all over the Blue Planet’s namesake habitat.

Sweden’s Alex Dawson won the grand prize with a haunting shot of whale skeletons surrendered to the Greenland sea by indigenous hunters.

The UPY pointed out that “from a stable population of over 100,000 minke whales in the North Atlantic, the hunters of Tasiilaq typically take less than a dozen.”

The UPY also published a heap of photos in each of this year’s 13 categories, including “Wrecks,” “Macro,” and my personal favorite, “Behavior.”

And don’t worry if you get a little teary over the “Save our Seas” category. There’s always an entry like “Home sweet home” or “Aquatic primate” to buoy your mood.

This year’s contest attracted a record number of entrants. ”The collection is a great reminder that while underwater photography is a specialist discipline, there is huge diversity within it,” said the UPY.
