Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
WATCH: Shredding On The Google Guitar!
A sneak peek at the new technology in Adobe Photoshop CS5
This is actually old news, but I only just stumbled across it a couple of days ago. You see, news of Adobe's next Creative Suite is so hard to come by that this is still the latest Photoshop development! In fact, since October, the only news they've released was to announce the cancellation of their Flash CS5 public beta. But can I say, having just watched the the 'sneak peek', I am now very, very excited about the possible applications for Adobe's CS5. Give us more news, Adobe!
Do you see the 3D elements that have been thrown in? The wire frame, the joints (the kinematics!), the simulation of a paint brush's tip... it's really quite crazy. I know Adobe gets a lot of flak for the continuous milking of their cash cow, but after that video I could almost forgive them.
With no news since October, and their usual 18- to 24-month development cycle, we might actually see Photoshop CS5 and Flash within a couple of months. I'm positively eager to review both of them.

Do I have to guess what the asterisk is a placeholder for?
Care?
Ware?
DARE?!?!?

Two dimensions are not enough.
You just can't get the staff these days... :P

Ahhhhhhh!
Jesus, nice catch.
It was more along the lines of 'The world is not enough!' or something insane like that.

I wrote this at 4am last night, if that helps...

I approve of this instance of grammar nazi-ism

My copy of Paint Shop Pro V7 just looks pathetic after seeing that. At least I can snub my nose at the 3D side with Cinema 4D in my start menu. Note the 4, so that's one more dimension that photoshop has! :p
Completely off topic, it just struck me going from reading Paul Therrotts Windows site to reading an article here, there's a passion here on this site. No tired, jaded journalists or journo-wannabes. I'll take passionate writing over perfect grammar any day of the week. That's the secret ingredient of all the websites that manage to keep on living in my RSS feed.

I think you just made Lee and I tear up.
For better or worse, we are certainly passionate :)

I don't really care about it's new technological advances. I only care if it's 64-bit Cocoa; that'll delight me.

We can but hope.
That would mean I might finally get an Apple machine too!

It will be, it's been announced.

..I seen these videos right after CS4 came out, which was forever ago. It's a good reminder though.

The date on that vid is 9th December 2009, but the blog post it comes from is October... *spreads hands* Dunno, basically :)

The paint stuff looks like features Painter had over a decade ago and the grid is just the puppet feature that currently resides in After Effects CS4.
Still neat but it makes me wonder what the latest Painter is like. Maybe I will download a demo.

Yeah, it certainly looks like there's a lot of feature-creep between the Creative Suite apps, with Photoshop being at the top of the pile.
But fair enough... if it saves me having to pay a gazillion dollars for the entire suite... :)

The research project dAb was doing this (and better I might add) in 2001. OK it wasn't a commercial product, but still, it's certainly not adobe's idea....
