Monday, 7th September 2026 The Weekly Creative A Quick, No-Fluff update from Glyn Dewis that Keeps your Creativity Current GoPro agreed to sell itself this week, which isn't how anyone expected the run-up to Apple's iPhone event to go. A $285 million merger with an optical-photonics firm called Starman Optical points the 24-year-old camera company at AI infrastructure, government and defence work, and it took a founder's letter three days later to calm the reaction. Elsewhere, DxO PhotoLab 10...

Monday, 31st August 2026 The Weekly Creative A Quick, No-Fluff update from Glyn Dewis that Keeps your Creativity Current 🎥 Who is Photoshop for now? 🤷♂️ 🎨 Project Photoshop - Virtual Summit I'm teaching at this year's Photoshop Virtual Summit, and this one's a bit different.

Monday, 24th August 2026 The Weekly Creative A Quick, No-Fluff update from Glyn Dewis that Keeps your Creativity Current Ok, so in this issue ... Nikon dropped out of the top three camera makers this week, which isn't a sentence I expected to be writing. Nikkei's 2025 shipment figures put Fujifilm third and Canon further ahead than ever, on 45.7% of everything shipped.

Monday, 17th August 2026 The Weekly Creative A Quick, No-Fluff update from Glyn Dewis that Keeps your Creativity Current This week the biggest story is regulation rather than kit. On the 14th August 2026 the White House imposed tariffs of up to 100 percent on imported drones, their docking stations and key components; a measure that lands directly on anyone in the United States buying or replacing aerial gear.

Monday, 3rd August 2026 The Weekly Creative A Quick, No-Fluff update from Glyn Dewis that Keeps your Creativity Current A magnitude 7.1 earthquake struck Kumamoto on 28th July. As things stand, 38 people have died, more than 120 are injured and around 267,000 remain under evacuation orders. It appears in this newsletter because the quake also stopped the Sony plant that makes a large share of the world's camera and phone sensors, and that is the part which reaches the rest of us, but it is a...

Monday, 27th July 2026 The Weekly Creative A Quick, No-Fluff update from Glyn Dewis that Keeps your Creativity Current This week is defined by a busy 22nd July, when Sony announced a lightweight full-frame 100-400mm telephoto, Samsung unveiled its Galaxy Z Fold 8 line and BenQ's new photo-editing monitor began shipping, all on the same day. The other headline is AI: Black Forest Labs launched FLUX 3, its first multimodal frontier model, on the 23rd July. On the camera side, Canon used...

Monday, 13th July 2026 The Weekly Creative A Quick, No-Fluff update from Glyn Dewis that Keeps your Creativity Current This week two big stories both landed hard: the Getty-Shutterstock merger formally collapsed under pressure from UK regulators, and Meta's new AI image tool used Instagram photographers' public pictures without consent before being pulled just three days after launch. Sony also broke a nine-year silence with the RX10V, and the AI copyright war between Midjourney and Hollywood...
