New Photoshop Version Announced

[Bill Hunt]

There has been a lot of buzz, regarding the upcoming release of several new Adobe programs. Already, we have several long thread on Premiere Elements 7. We know that there is a new version of Photoshop Elements to go along with the new Premiere Elements. There is a lot of talk elsewhere about the much rumored Adobe Production Studio CS4 and what it can do. We all remember the not-that-long-ago release of Photoshop Extended CS3, that went a long way toward marrying Photoshop and video. Well, hold onto your hats and don’t spring for those upgrades just yet.

Adobe has leaked info on a totally new and much more robust Photoshop. Inside sources indicate that it will likely be released well before NAB, a common launching ground for major imaging software releases. No details have been discovered whether this all-new Photoshop will be part of any “suite.” There are some hints that it might not fit into the normal upgrade paths, but much remains to be learned.

You know how you have often said to clients, “anything can be done in Photoshop, so long as you have the time and the money?” I’m sure some of you have even said similar to your family members, when some request came in and you really wanted that dual-quad-core Xenon processor! Well, it’s just around the corner.

I present to you the next generation of Photoshop. You might want to start saving up. I’ve already begun, by limiting my evening wine choices to nothing by Yellow Tail. Gotta’ save $’s, or £’s, any way you can... Here's something located deep on the Internet. It was marked "For Your Eyes Only," but I looked. Heck, I've already read all of the Ian Flemming books, so what could be wrong here?

Great tool, Hunt!

I'm sure it will also be very useful for showing bodily fluids left on hotel room bed sheets.

Steve, I started to say something about a blue dress, but thought much better of it.

I'll never forget John Wayne, playing a detective in a later film (cannot conjure up the name right now) hand-holding a 35mm motor-drive body with what must have been a 1200mm tele. He was holding the body only, by both hands and not resting this lens on anything. The images, when blown up to ~ 24x36 were so crisp, that a lip-reader could tell what the culprits were saying. Man, I wanted one of those image-stabilization 1200mm lenses for my Nikon F! Of course, I then remembered that he'd hand-held a 50cal. water-cooled machine gun in "Back to Bataan," and wondered.

Truth is stranger than fiction. Don’t know if you remember when this came to light in the news a couple of years back (Photoshop CS1) , but something has been built into Photoshop's core coding that can detect the images of currency and will prevent the user from opening the file. Apparently it will also do this with Euro notes too. Photoshop informs the user that it is illegal and referred them to the web page below.
