Purchase Topaz Labs Sharpen AI directly through Topaz Labs

Sharpen AI uses deep learning to enhance sharpness in images, bringing out detail lost due to camera shake, imperfect focus, or motion blur, without the unnatural look of basic sharpening processes. This makes already sharp images pop even more, and saves imperfect shots.  Sharpen, like other Topaz software, can be used standalone or as a Photoshop plugin.

The 15% coupon can also be used on other Topaz Labs software, such as Denoise AI and Gigapixel AI. Act now to get these substantial savings! By taking advantage of this deal, you will also support the forum and be eligible for a free account upgrade.

Pentax K-3 III v1.41, K-1 II v1.30, K-1 v1.60 Firmware Update Released

New firmware brings Astrotracer Type 3 to K-3 III and the Satobi JPEG profile to K-1 family

By wadge22 in Firmware Updates on Mar 4, 2022

Ricoh Imaging has released a series of long-awaited firmware updates for three of its Pentax DSLRs: the K-3 III, the K-1, and the K-1 II.

The new Pentax K-3 III firmware adds Astrotracer Type 3, which allows Astrotracer shots without a GPS unit by taking a reference shot. This feature had already been released as a beta version to select users, but is now an official function for all users. This firmware update also improves autofocus when using the viewfinder, as well as stability and performance improvements.

The new Pentax K-1 and Pentax K-1 II firmware adds the Satobi Custom Image profile. The Satobi profile delivers slightly muted colors, and gives an artistic nostalgic look to JPEGs straight out of the camera. This profile has previously been available on the K-3 III, and is now on the K-1 and K-1 II. This firmware update also brings stability and performance improvements.
