AI Remade Adobe, Sony’s New Mics, and APS-C Got a Lot of Love | The PetaPixel Podcast

This week on The PetaPixel Podcast, Chris, Jordan, Sarah, and I discuss a big heaping pile of news, including the biggest story of the week: Adobe Creative Cloud getting ripped off and rebuilt with AI.

Beyond that, Getty filed for bankruptcy, Sony announced two new microphones, APS-C got a ton of love in the past week, and the OM System PEN is shaping up to be outrageously popular.
