Now here’s a first: the Nikon S1000pj – the world’s first projector camera! No longer will you be needing a TV or a separate projector to showcase your photos, you can do it from within this camera. Now since it uses SD/SDHC cards, I wonder if it would be possible to use this as your dedicated projector in a location shoot. Interesting.

PercepTool is a Photoshop plugin that mimics what the brain “sees” upon looking at a photo, which isn’t exactly how a camera records it: “PercepTool takes the image made in the digital camera sensor (also called luminance image) and changes it into what our brain actually perceives. The luminance image consists of 2 sub (intrinsic) images: reflection and illumination. The reflection and illumination images are separated from the luminance image in the visual cortex of the brain, processed and recombined into what is known as the percept, or the image that we actually perceive. We call this image luminosity. Most of the changes are due to differential recombination of the edges in the image and optimization of tonal values.”
