http://indesignsecrets.com/indesign-cs3-sneak-peek.php - mateo60, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12Spring 2007????? Good God man! :(
- the_snitch, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Yeah you should have said in your title InDesign CS3, not just CS3.
Here I am looking for Photoshop and Illustrator stuff, and all you show me is InDesign. - beforeIforget, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Whenever I reinstall CS2, I need to call Adobe for a key code.... Even though I just dropped over a grand on their software, they do a pretty good job of making a person feel like a criminal over the phone...
- SuperSloth, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10It's Adobe. *Of course* it will require 500 Gigs of memory. It will also cost you about $2,000 and probably make you submit a DNA sample for copy protection verification.
- danr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6They do have the "elements" products for photoshop and premiere which are lesser versions and significantly cheaper. You can also get the whole package much cheaper if you are a student or affiliated with an educational institution. But if neither of those appeal to you, you could always buy an older version off ebay or elsewhere for less money, provided they run on your current computer set-up.
- Philbert, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Yeah seriously, I read that title and thought "Ooh! new Photoshop!" Poorly worded.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4It's not for "the average man". It's for creative professionals. And, really, the suite is a steal at its current price.
- phatfish, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3This is the dilemma, the pirates get to use the keygen, but those who bought the product end up having to use some lengthy activation process. Now... do you use the keygen even tho you bought the software, after all you have proof of a valid license.
- scheper, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I wish they had a lite or lesser version for less money.
- cadavreexquis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Strange. We got CS2 about a year ago and we never had to call Adobe to activate - just punch in the serial then register online.
- beforeIforget, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This news is being release because QuarkXpress just launched a new version. Nothing more than marketing hype from Adobe to keep InDesign people on board.
- Philbert, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2By "same thing" I think he/she meant that they come in the same package. Install Photoshop and you get Imageready as well.
- ozskier, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3If adobe doesn't drop a universal binary this year for my macbook I'm going to go insane...
- spoocobra, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Well if you can put 3 different links for the story then go ahead an show me. That's why I put the links in the comment and I couldn't change the headline after I realized it, but we all can't be perfect like you.
- razzi, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5I can only see references to InDesign CS3, and not the full Creative Suite. I hope they are released at the same time
- Artemis11, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2This got me exited, I though it was about the whole CS3 Creative Suite. All I use are Photoshop (and Imageready but...they're the same thing really)
- DarkDays, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5Sounds good, but it I hope it doesn't require 500 Gigs of memory..
- spoocobra, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yeah sorry for the headline it was late when I posted this. Sucks for all the intel machines that they have to wait that long.
- blackjack75, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I guess he's referring to intel macs that have to run it in emulation.
- fyngyrz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1For some areas, not only is there competition, but the competition blows them away. Check out this movable, rotatable live magnifying glass tutorial I did; you can't do this in Photoshop, as far as I can tell (I have PS/CS2):
http://www.ideaspike.com/winimages.shtml
This app specializes in a number of areas, one of them being layered image editing and control. While Photoshop has about 20 layer modes, this has over seventy, one of which adds live geometric effects to layered images. So for instance, you can put a couple of sets of waves on an image, then when you move the layers around, you can see the waves actually interfere or add/subtract from one another which allows you to get the precise result you're looking for. I use this in the tutorial to let the magnifying glass actually magnify like a curved lens; you can move the glass (by moving the layer that contains it) and watch the magnified portion travel underneath the "glass." You could rotate it, too, by adding a rotation layer.
I don't have a tutorial on this one, but if you look at Paintshop Pro, you can do things in there with brushes that you can't do with Photoshop. They've got the ability to drag (for instance) a brush with some notes on it and paint an entire musical staff -- with one brushstroke. And a bunch more brush features that again as far as I know, no one else has. Corel's selling Paintshop Pro now, no longer JASC.
I'm just pointing out that if you explore out there a little bit, you'll find that what Adobe has done is great marketing, as opposed to performance, features or creativity. I find that having all three of these apps in my toolbox gives me a lot more options. YMMV. - PlancksCnst, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1What do you mean by "proper undo"?
- mateo60, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3I'd love for Apple to release a pro photo app to compete with Adobe. As a graphic designer, running Photoshop under Rosetta is pure torture. Currently, I have to dual boot my Macbook to XP and use an older PC version of Photoshop.
Adobe seems complacent. I wish Apple would release a pro photo application, at least so Adobe would have some good competition to kick them in the pants. - stokestack, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yeah, that's a crack development team there, all right. And whatcha wanna bet that Photoshop still won't have a decent thumbnail browser, proper Undo, or any of the other basic stuff that everyone else has been offering for years?
- thatbox, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Why?
- spoocobra, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Yeah once again I apologize about the title. Man I wish the submitter could alter the story no matter how late. And as a beta tester for Quark 7 all I can say is that it will surprise a lot of Indesign switchers and regular Quark users.
- exilio, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Adobe can bite my butt. They need some competition to kick them off their lazy asses.
- Dracos, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2The only reason Adobe is saying anything about any part of CS3 is an attempt to appease all the graphics/multimedia that only use Macs, but have no real reason to get a spiffy new Intel Mac until CS3 comes out. Steve Jobs knows this too, Mac sales will jump (for a few months) when CS3 comes out.
MS doesn't want CS3 to beat Vista to market because it'll dampen Vista sales.
CS3 in Spring 2007, huh? A couple months after Vista launches, and over a year after Intel Macs launch? Who do you think has more influence over at Adobe, Apple or MS? - CypherXero, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Photoshop and ImageReady are NOT the same thing. If you think they are, I've got an old HP Pavili....I mean, MacBook Pro I want to sell you...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I hate posts like this one. Its a link to a site that has one or two sentences and then links to the real stories. Totally lame.
- porksoda, on 10/12/2007, -5/+5pure blog spam
- happyyellowbug, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Dear God! Let me throw my business OUT THE WINDOW. Adobe darn well needs competitors to kick their lazy asses!
- ADIOlab, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I wonder if it will be stable?? (*remembering when InDesign first came out . . . . ugh!)
- blackjack75, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1I am pretty convinced that at some point before September Apple will come up with a Photoshop competitor using CoreImage that will just fly on the new Intel Machines.
If you have a MacBook Pro, have a look at www.chocoflop.com and imagine what Apple themselves could do with this technology (as opposed to this one man part-time project). - skeetmuffin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0we must over throw Adobe!
- raykart, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2This is blog spam. No direct links, and only info on InDesign.
- copernic, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Corel's poised.
- Mongoose, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Any word on price? This just in: Too much for the average man!
The attribute-level transparency and new blending tweaks looks enticing. Can't wait to fiddle around with this. - copernic, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0It's become about plug-ins and actions.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1I have to wait till Spring 2007 till I get my Intel Mac :(
- copernic, on 10/12/2007, -6/+0Photoshop seems to be looking a bit long in the tooth.
- ShaDoWwork, on 10/12/2007, -9/+2i got way to bored reading that *****.
