Adobe Releases Photoshop Elements 9 in the Mac App Store

Posted by Jeff Campbell in "Apple Software (OS X)" @ 10:00 AM

http://www.appleinsider.com/article...elements_9.html

"On the eve of the launch of Apple's Mac OS X Lion, rival software maker Adobe has released a version of Photoshop Elements 9 for the Mac App Store."

This was released yesterday, without too much fanfare, and is available now in the Mac App Store for $79.95 USD [affiliate link]. This is the first submission for the Mac App Store from Adobe, and is available only in English so far. Adobe says this is a compliment to iPhoto since it offers more editing capabilities and tools, and requires OS X 10.6.6.

Adobe Releases a Trio of Photoshop Apps for the iPad

Posted by Jeff Campbell in "Apple Software (iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad)" @ 10:13 AM

"Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE) today announced the immediate availability of the Adobe® Photoshop® Touch apps - Adobe Color Lava, Adobe Eazel and Adobe Nav - for Apple iPad in the Apple App Store. These three apps from Adobe were developed using the Photoshop Touch Software Development Kit (SDK) to demonstrate the potential for new interaction between Photoshop and tablet devices."

Adobe Nav for Photoshop [affiliate link], Adobe Eazel for Photoshop [affiliate link] and Adobe Color Lava for Photoshop [affiliate link] are all available now in iTunes for $1.99 USD, $4.99 USD and $2.99 USD respectively. These three apps really add a new aspect to Photoshop on the iPad. With Color Lava you use your fingertips to mix colors on the iPad and transfer them back to Photoshop, creating your own color swatches and themes. With Eazel, it lets you create paintings using just your fingers, and with Nav you control the Photoshop tools using the iPad touch surface. This is obviously a very simplistic explanation, but suffice to say, having these three tools sure adds to the capability of the iPad and Photoshop as a great photography tool combo.

Posted by Darius Wey in "Apple Software (OS X)" @ 09:05 AM

  • Complete revamp of painting capabilities via Mixer Brush and Bristle Tips;
  • Advanced 3D capabilities with Repoussé;
  • 64-bit support and GPU acceleration.

Cons:

  • UI unification could use plenty of work;
  • Price still remains uncompetitively high.

Summary: When a product is recognized as a verb as much as it is a noun, then you know you have a well-known name in your hands. Photoshop is one of those products. Year after year, it is seen as the advanced digital imaging software to have, so just what could Adobe do to make this product bigger and better? Earlier in the year, the company released its latest version, CS5 and CS5 Extended, promising to be one of the biggest upgrades yet with a plethora of new features such as Content-Aware Fill, complete cross-platform 64-bit support, Repoussé, and significant painting enhancements. And all of that is merely scraping the surface. In this review, we look at CS5 Extended for the Mac, focusing on some of the general features new to CS5, as well as some of the features offered only in the Extended version. Read more...

CS5 for Mac Causing Problems?

Posted by Jeff Campbell in "Apple Software (OS X)" @ 09:00 AM

http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_...d&subj=MacFixIt

"Adobe recently released its latest CS5 productivity suite for the Mac, and a few people have been experiencing a problem where applications (particularly Photoshop) seem to be crashing when they are quit. The program will otherwise run just fine."

If this is happening to you, this article gives some tips on how to fix the problem. According to the article, the problem "happens when a resource the program needs is not properly available to the program. The program can read and load all the settings it needs when starting up, or use default settings if settings files are not readable, but when quitting if it cannot save these settings then it may hang or crash."

"Adobe released a near final version of Camera Raw 6.1 on Friday. The release candidate fixed an issue where Photoshop CS5 could crash when opening files with the Camera Raw 6.0 plug-in, and added support for ten more cameras."

So if you have Photoshop CS5 and want to give this a try, be warned it is still a beta product. You can find out more about it at the Adobe Labs site.

Photoshop For iPhone/iPod Touch

Posted by Jeff Campbell in "Apple Software (iPhone/iPod Touch)" @ 11:00 AM

http://www.macworld.com/article/143...s_iphonecentral

"For those who like to edit and show off their photos on the go, Adobe has released its Photoshop.com Mobile for the iPhone."

Don't let the name throw you, this is an app available now in the iTunes Store. Even though it is a standalone app, it is tied in with your Photoshop.com account so it adds that functionality, giving you access to all your photos stored at that site. It is just a basic photo editor so don't expect it to do everything that the regular photoshop program does, but it is a free app available now via iTunes.
