Somewhat OT -- Adobe Photoshop CS3 Beta Available
« on: December 15, 2006, 03:58:33 pm »

Adobe has officially announced the public beta of Photoshop CS3 and you can almost hear the MacIntel users salivating. It's difficult to conceive of a more-anticipated program for professional pixel pushers on the Mac so let me help ease the pain by assuring people that it indeed exists. The beta will also be available to Windows users and reportedly runs fine on Vista.

Now the bad news: ... unlike the public beta of Lightroom, it requires a valid CS2 serial number. That serial number is used to get a beta CS3 license for the installer and if you don't have that, then it is installed as a two-day demo. This isn't the beta love-fest that many were hoping for—it's mostly a gesture to those Mac customers who have been waiting to demonstrate that Adobe values their support and patience.

Bruce Fraser died earlier today.  Can't imagine trying to figure out the new Adobe Camera RAW without him.  My condolences to his family.

Wow... That's terribly sad.   :'(

I read his "Real World Photoshop CS" book (co-written with David Blatner) and it was by far the best book on Photoshop I've ever touched.  I actually read it basically from cover to cover, and learned something new on just about every page.  Considering I've been using Photoshop since version 4, that's saying something.

He will really be missed.

Thanks for the heads up on this.  I'm anxious to try it.
