    Not sure if I like this or the new magic healing brush tool they have coming out. What in photography is going to be real in the future?

    I kinda agree. I'd like to buy the 15mm simply because the effect it has on the scene see is like a signature and distinguishes it from my other lenses. The magic healing brush, by the looks of it, has just negated a lot of Photoshop expertise that I've acquired over the last while. No bother. :( It probably won't work as seamlessly as the videos purport it doing. ;)

    As things stand now, nothing in photography is really that real, is it? Best to try and embrace the change me thinks. Cos it's gonna happen anyway. :pac:

    I agree with both of you to some extent. I love the distortion effects you get from various lenses, but sometimes you want straight lines and we can't all afford a 17 or 24mm tilt/shift lens. So I can see the benefits of this lens correction tool for stuff like that.

    As for Photoshops new super healing thingy, I think that's aimed more at compositors/designers than actual photographers. I'm all for the odd bit of spot healing here and there, but I think once you start getting into these major cloning operations, you've left the realm of photography behind a little bit.

    It doesn't. Sometimes it clones some of the image from say the far right side of the photo and sticks it in the content aware part.
