"But also we want to expand the functionality of Luminar Neo even further by adding more Extensions.

With the help of Exentensions Luminar Neo will become even more suitable to solve any editing issues and add creativity and experimentation to your photography.
"By the end of 2022 we are going to release 7 extensions in total, including HDR Merge that came out in July, Noiseless AI in August and deliver the other 4 in November and 1 in December. Wow!" (emphasis is Iryna's)

Create NYC "Postponed"
I received an email yesterday announcing that Create NYC, the planned successor to the pre-pandemic Photo Expos that had been held annually at the Javits Center in Manhattan, has been "postponed" until next year. I can't say this comes as any surprise. I had already made up my mind not to attend myself after the outrageous ticket prices - $150 for a one-day pass! - had been announced last month and had had difficulty imagining where the sponsors hoped to find anyone willing to travel to Brooklyn for an event that could most kindly be described as "low key." The fact that no camera manufacturers or imaging companies, or at least none who had been announced, would be on hand to show off their newest products as they had at the Photo Expos only made a bad situation worse.
If the event sponsors hope to return in 2023 as they have promised, I believe their best bet is to return to the tried and true format that served them so well in the past and plan to once again hold an old school Photo Expo at the Javits Center.

Nikon Updates D7100
After just having posted on Nikon's retreat from the F-mount DSLR business, I was shocked to learn that the company has issued an update for one of its oldest models, the D7100, an almost forgotten consumer-level camera. The update is a simple fix for a truly minor problem, i.e., a glitch in live view that would cause it to cease working after ten minutes' use. Why Nikon would choose to issue such a non-essential update on a camera that by now should be next in line for discontinuance is a mystery. Nikon, however, has recently gone to great lengths to reassure its DSLR customers that it has no intention of ceasing production or servicing of these cameras, so perhaps the update is intended to emphasize this claim to its customer base and those who may be contemplating a DSLR purchase.
