AP correspondents using the Sony A9III to cover the Normandy news

Share

Our reader Dmitry spotted this:

Browsing CNN front page I see that AP correspondent in this case, whose photo was published by CNN, is using the Sony A9III to take historic photos of Biden and Zelensky at the Normandy landing celebration.  CNN always leave all the EXIF information intact so you can see that this was taken with A9III and judging from 94mm at F2.8 probably 70-200/2.8 lens,  ISO2000 does not look too bad either.   https://dynaimage.cdn.cnn.com/cnn/digital-images/org/c70471ca-9199-4156-93f1-8cbf85a32a20.jpg The fact that they are using A9III rather than A1 or Canon R3 is telling that global shutter is really appealing to these news guys, and 24MP is plenty for them.

NOTE: No political comments allowed. We are here to talk about gear ok?

A clarification on Adobe Terms of Use

Share

Adobe recently made a  major change in their Terms of Use that amide it clear they had access to your photos. many did complain about that change and Adobe now did post an update to clarify why they made this change:

—

We recently made an update to our Terms of Use with the goal of providing more clarity on a few specific areas and pushed a routine re-acceptance of those terms to Adobe Creative Cloud and Document Cloud customers. We have received a number of questions resulting from this update and want to provide some clarity.

We remain committed to transparency, protecting the rights of creators and enabling our customers to do their best work.

What is different in the Terms of Use

The focus of this update was to be clearer about the improvements to our moderation processes that we have in place. Given the explosion of Generative AI and our commitment to responsible innovation, we have added more human moderation to our content submissions review processes.

When Adobe applications and services may access content

  1. Access is needed for Adobe applications and services to perform the functions they are designed and used for (such as opening and editing files for the user or creating thumbnails or a preview for sharing).
  2. Access is needed to deliver some of our most innovative cloud-based features such as Photoshop Neural Filters, Liquid Mode or Remove Background. You can read more information, including how users can control how their content may be used: https://helpx.adobe.com/manage-account/using/machine-learning-faq.html
  3. For content processed or stored on Adobe servers, Adobe may use technologies and other processes, including escalation for manual (human) review, to screen for certain types of illegal content (such as child sexual abuse material), or other abusive content or behavior (for example, patterns of activity that indicate spam or phishing).

Adobe’s continued commitments

Our commitments to our customers have not changed.

  • Adobe does not train Firefly Gen AI models on customer content. Firefly generative AI models are trained on a dataset of licensed content, such as Adobe Stock, and public domain content where copyright has expired. Read more here: https://helpx.adobe.com/firefly/faq.html#training-data
  • Adobe will never assume ownership of a customer’s work. Adobe hosts content to enable customers to use our applications and services. Customers own their content and Adobe does not assume any ownership of customer work.

We appreciate our customers who reached out to ask these questions, which has given us an opportunity to clarify our terms and our commitments. We will be clarifying the Terms of Use acceptance customers see when opening applications.
