One of the standout features of Apple’s new MacBook Pro computers is the all new Touch Bar, which replaces a row of function keys atop the keyboard with a long OLED screen that’s contextual depending on the application(s) you’re using.
Moments after the announcement of the new MacBook Pros, Apple invited an Adobe executive on stage to show off how Adobe is already working on utilizing the Touch Bar to create a “natural, expressive, and powerful new way of working with Photoshop.”
The first demonstration on stage shows Experience Design Manager of Adobe Photoshop Bradee Evans as she composites two images together using Photoshop’s integrated selection and mask tool. Rather than digging through the navigation and sub-menus within Photoshop, Evans shows how the Touch Bar makes it easy to access otherwise hidden tools.
Beyond bringing features out of Photoshop’s convoluted navigation system, the new Touch Bar also adds a more tactile element to moving sliders in Photoshop. Rather than using the mouse and trackpad to tweak exposure, saturation, and even brush sizes, Apple’s Touch Bar lets you slide your finger across a slider to adjust variables.
It’s a far cry from a full-out touchscreen MacBook Pro, and arguably a gimmicky addition to an otherwise unimpressive update, but it’s an evolutionary step in Apple’s notebook lineup nonetheless.
Although this wasn’t confirmed on stage at the keynote, it’s safe to assume Touch Bar functionality will make its way to other photography-centric apps in Adobe’s Creative Cloud collection, including Lightroom and Camera Raw.
Adobe says the new version of Photoshop, with Touch Bar support, should be available by the end of the year.
Fujifilm just gave its most popular instant camera a serious digital upgrade. The Instax Mini Evo 2 now comes with a touchscreen, larger sensor, and a video feature that captures four seconds before each photo. It is set to arrive by the end of November for $289.95.

Full-frame cameras tend to be chunky beasts, but Sigma wants to prove that big imaging doesn't need a big body. Enter the Sigma FP2, the successor to its tiny, boxy fp mirrorless camera. It keeps the same modular design but packs in some serious upgrades, including a 24.5-megapixel partially stacked full-frame sensor, improved autofocus, 6K video recording, and 70GB of built-in storage. Sigma calls it the world's smallest full-frame camera, and while it might be tiny, the same cannot be said for its price tag.

A phone thermal camera is one of those tools you don’t think you need until the first time it saves you from an expensive problem, and the Thermal Master P3 just got easier to try. For Halloween, it’s discounted with the code THERMCAM10, a 10% cut that works out to $107 off the total. It’s also fresh off a win at the 2026 Tom’s Guide AI Awards for best phone thermal camera, which is the kind of third-party nod that separates a serious tool from the cheap clip-on sensors that flood this category.
