For an explainer, see vas3k's: Computational Photography From Selfies to Black Holes as predicted by yours truly in 2015 :-) in my post: Computational Photography is coming . Not that I'm a great prophet, in 2015 I was clearly right and in 2019 it's obvious I'm right what with the L16, phones with 2, 3 and more sensors, etc.

Got it back in January 2018! Check out my L16 photos!

And the Light technology is starting to appear in bits and pieces in phones like the the Nokia 9 Pureview which is available for $US 699 on Amazon

Security vulnerabilities will be found that require updates too, etc, etc I understand the whole tempest in a tea pot about Adobe forcing a subscription model for Photoshop and Lightroom (It's bad marketing IMHO for Adobe to have pretended that subscription was forever going to be "just an option") but unless you:

  • don't connect your computer to another computer on the internet or otherwise,
  • never buy new digitial cameras
  • never upgrade your operating system

you need software updates for digital camera and other software. And this costs money to develop. It ain't free. (At least not with current software construction techniques which result in insecure, unverified software).
