Some blogs I like

Aparently Photoshop CS3 beta will be available as a free download sometime tomorrow. As with Lightroom this will be a test version that will expire when the final product ships, but it’s left me in quite a quandary. I’m still using PS7 and quite happy with it. If I trial CS3, which I can’t really afford to buy, will I be able to return to the 2002 era when the beta period ends? This is all assuming it won’t run like a snail on my Mac… (via)

Much of the world’s best software seem to have reached a point where updates and upgrades are simply not worth the money. Like you I am more than pleased with PS7 and other Adobe products of its generation (Illustrator 10) and can see now reason to spend vast quantities of money to achieve relatively small increases in capability and productivity. Perhaps the best example of good software that has nowhere to go is Microsoft Excel - Mr. Softy’s best and most stable program for which there seems to be no room for improvement.
From what I’ve heard, it’s not much new unless you happen to be on an Intel Mac. CS2 runs comparatively poorly on those, and CS3 is the first Universal Binary. Or something like that.
“A licensed copy of Photoshop CS2, Creative Suite 2, Production Studio, Adobe Web Bundle, or Adobe Video Bundle is required to use this technology beyond a two-day trial period.”
So that’s solved that issue then.
What is this “licensed copy” of which they speak?
