Don’t expect to be able to go down to your local computer shop and order the latest copy of Adobe Photoshop. The software company is moving Photoshop – and other programs from Creative Suite – to the cloud.

Diehard users who got the latest version every time something new was released will love this new solution. But others, including occasional users and anybody who wanted to pirate the software, are out of luck.

Starting June 17, Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, and Dreamweaver move to the Adobe Creative Cloud.

A new update to the Instagram app will let you and your friends tag each other in photos.

Instagram - the photo sharing service now owned by Facebook - lets users apply creative and often retro photographic effects on their images before uploading them to share online.

But the thing is that whenver you wanted to alert someone to a photo they were in, or link their profile to an image, you had to manually '@' them in the commenting area or in the caption.

It would also create clutter at the bottom of photos, depending on how many people or things you're adding.

The '@' technique, however, is really Twitter's thing and not primarily Facebook's (though you can use it in there as well).

So now with the relase of the latest Instagram app, you can tap on the image to tag your friends, or businesses with accounts.

A Montreal woman is facing charges after posting a photo of a well-known Montreal cop to Instagram – which has some people wondering if the police force is exercising censorship.

It wasn’t just any cop, but Montreal police officer Ian Lafreniere. And the photo was graffiti of Cmdr. Lafreniere with a bullet hole just above his eyes.

Skiers and snowboarders hitting the slopes this season might want to pay special attention to a couple new cameras launched by Olympus at the Consumer Electronics Show.

Two new models – the Stylus TG-830 iHS and the Styuls TG-630 iHS – made their debut in Las Vegas.

Obviously, these cameras are designed to take great shots with above-average 16-megapixel back-side illuminated CMOS sensors and their latest TruPic VI image processors.

But it's what's wrapping all that technology that makes these cameras stand out.

The world's largest photo-centric social media platform has released a list of the most popular places in the world to post a photo in 2012.

So, where in the world do most photos get posted from? You'd be surprised.

No, it's not Times Square in New York City. Nor was it the site of the Closing Ceremony from this summer's Olympic Games (though the Spice Girls concert got a lot of people Tweeting).

Is it too obvious to take a photo while holding up something like a digital camera or a smartphone? Have you wanted to be more inconspicuous while snapping some shots?

A company out of Sweden has a solution: a camera you can wear. And as wild as that idea sounds, they’re actually one step closer to making the project a reality.

Is your life interesting enough to be recorded twice a minute for posterity? A new Kickstarter campaign will enable you to do just that, thanks to a little box called the Memoto.

Photographers have a couple new cameras to eye following a pair of announcements Monday morning.

Canon has pulled the wraps off a new full-frame DSLR camera, the new 6D.

It’s designed to slot in between the current price point of the 5D Mark II, with features similar to that of the new 5D Mark III.

It appears Nokia has faked part of a video that seems to be captured by its new steady-shooting flagship smartphone, the Lumia 920.

The phone features snazzy new camera technology called PureView. It’s designed to capture incredibly vivid high resolution images.

By using something Nokia calls “floating lens technology” the phone is said to take in five times more light than other smartphones and offer image stabilization to reduce camera shake.

In a statement, Nokia’s vice president of Smart Devices said PureView will capture pictures “usually only seen on a standalone SLR camera.”

But when filming a promotional video for the new Lumia 920, it seems they used a standalone SLR camera to capture images that the smartphone did, according to the Verge.

Almost all people use their phones to take pictures. And many of these phones are running the popular Android operating system.
But not often do you hear about a camera - not a phone, but a camera - running Android. Until now.
Nikon is rolling out the world's first Android-powered Wi-Fi camera, with hopes of making the camera (and your pictures) more connected with the web.
From the front, the Nikon S800c looks like any other silver-metallic point and shoot. It's small, slip and can fit in your pocket, though its 10x zoom can extend for tight shots and other types of closeups.
But flip this camera over and it looks less like a camera and more like a phone, with a 3.5-inch screen coating the rear.
The OLED touchscreen is small by today's smartphone standards, where massive 4.X-inch displays dominate, and anything smaller is just useless. And if you're using this screen to edit and filter the heck out of your world-class photography skills, this screen might be a little small.
It ships running Android 3.2, though details are still a little scant on how much RAM the camera will sport, and what kind of processor makes Android chug along.
Regardless, the camera will let you download apps from Google's Play app store. So theoretically, you'll be able to snap fantastic photos with a proper camera and upload those shots to Instagram and Facebook right away, while your friends are still trying to snap a photo for the umpteenth time on their iPhone or BlackBerry as they try to get the lighting just right.
The S800c, however, is still a camera at heart. Inside is a 16-megapixel image sensor designed to put images from smartphones to shame. The lens is also has optical image stabilization - a feature you won't find on any other smartphone.
So with Wi-Fi to connect to the wireless networks and GPS to track and map the location of your photos this is the most powerful camera attached to a phone ever, rather, the most Android-friendly camera.
The Nikon S800c is set to go on sale in September 2012 for $380.
Either we'll see more cameras running Android, or smartphones will be made with better cameras.
But thanks, Nikon, for forging ahead with this.
