Latest Lightroom Update Restores Import Screen and Fixes Bugs

Adobe today released Lightroom CC 2015.3 and 6.3. As was promised last month, this latest update restores the old Lightroom Import experience that was found in Lightroom prior to the tumultuous 6.2 update, which Adobe ended up apologizing for. “The goal of this release is to provide additional camera raw support, lens profile support and address bugs that were introduced in previous releases of Lightroom,” Adobe says. In addition to new camera support (e.g. Leica SL, Sony RX1R II, Canon EOS M10), the update also contains fixes that address the “instability, functionality, and performance issues introduced in Lightroom CC 2015.2.x/6.2.x.” If you reverted your Lightroom after updating to 6.2 in order to get the old Import experience back, you can go ahead and update to 6.3 now.

This Selfie Stick Gives You Ridiculously Long Arms

Over in Japan, a guy named Mansun has invented an arm-extension selfie stick. Instead of being a stick that you hold, it’s shaped like an extra long arm. He bought some plastic hands on Amazon, mounted them to the end of selfie sticks, attached a phone to the palm, and then created a shirt with extra long sleeves to wear while holding the sticks.

Here’s what Mansun looks like while taking selfies out in public:

Photos of the Strange ‘Crooked Forest’ in Poland

German photographer Kilian Schönberger recently shot a series of photos showing one of the most unusual forests in the world. Located near the city of Gryfino in West Poland, the so-called “Crooked Forest” has a grove of pine trees that are curved at the base. The grove was planted sometime around the year 1930, Schönberger says, and it’s generally believed that some kind of tool or technique was used to make these trees grow in this strange way, but the exact method or motive isn’t currently known. Some people believe that the trees were used to harvest naturally curved timber for building things like furniture and boats. Others think the trees took on this shape through some natural event such as a snowstorm or flood.
