Touch Every Button

Yes, “touch every button” is the mantra for this class and it always hits me when I rediscover this approach. Just now, after so many years, I’ve changed the VIEW in Safari from the tab view of this page to the multi-page of current tabs. There are familiar buttons here that I’ve ignored. Now, time for a second cup of coffee because I want to touch every button and explore how the many websites I want to reference are here and can be copied at one time or shared through Messages app.

Megapixels vs Sensor Size and Indigo

Dan Mold writes in Amateur Photographer, July 2025 available through Apple News, that sensor size is more important than megapixels. Bigger sensors improve low light capture and depth of field, and we use the “Portrait” mode with depth controls on iPhone. He also reports that software now includes AI to upscale resolution (megapixels) for larger prints in a time where most images are viewed on small smartphone screens. 

Have you looked at Adobe’s new Project Indigo camera app yet? On installation, the splash screens note: 
  • Photo mode captures multiple frames and merges them automatically for higher dynamic range
  • AI Denoise for low light capture
  • Improved Night mode with Optical Image Stabilization 
  • Digital Scaling for 2X and 10X zoom implementing SR, Super Resolution using AI
  • Macro mode with multi-image Super Resolution 
  • Histogram for current scene 
  • Pro controls for manual shooting options 
  • Capture is JPEG+DNG; edit JPEG in Photos or edit DNG in Lightroom or Nitro
