Kevin La Rue of Machhun gives us an extensive look at the capabilities and power of their new Creative Kit 2016. Six different components to Creative Kit 2016 can be used as stand-alone applications or can be installed in Apple’s Photos, Photoshop or Lightroom to provide over 400 one-click modifications to your photos. But it doesn’t stop there. The Creative Kit applications let you tune and tweak a wide variety of settings, so that the presets are only the beginning, not the end. Pass an image among the applications to get the exact look you want. Kevin shows off some of the capabilities of each program in a bonus-length demonstration.

Bryan Chaffin of The Mac Observer and host Chuck Joiner take on the topic of Apple’s mandatory 30% cut of revenue from App Store and Music Store purchases, with a special focus on music. Whether your iOS device should be the perfect place to consume music, who it benefits, and what it is worth are part of the debate. Is Apple’s position unfair to competing services like Spotify and Pandora? What is a place in Apple’s sales ecosystem worth? Bryan and Chuck also start what will be a series of shows celebrating the 10th Anniversary of MacNotables with comments about some of the early shows.
