Adobe Brings Retina Display Support To Photoshop And Illustrator CS6 As A Free Update For All Users

Photoshop-Retina-Macbook-Pro

Adobe has made good on its promise to deliver Retina Display support to two of its most-used graphics programs, Photoshop and Illustrator CS6. That means owners of Apple’s Retina MacBook Pro (both the 13- and 15-inch versions) will now be able to edit and create graphics using the programs in native resolution, instead of seeing the admittedly ugly non-optimized visual resources both previously… → Read More

Video Demo Of Real Photoshop On iPad

Eric over at Photography Bay captured this demo of Adobe’s in-development Photoshop app for iPad on video. It’s way more full-featured than the Photoshop Express already available — if file management was a little easier, this would go a long way towards making my iPad an actual full-powered blogging station.

There’s no release date yet, but I can’t wait. We’ll let you know as soon as we… → Read More

Adobe made it official today, the CS5 package is now available for pre-order. You can also order just the bits and pieces you want, if you don’t want to drop $1,899 for the full monty. Photoshop CS5 is looking particularly tasty, with the new content-aware fill at the top of my list of stuff I want to check out. Take a look at the demo video after the jump. → Read More

Adobe releases Photoshop.com Mobile editor for Android developers

Adobe this morning announced that third-party developers now have access to the Photoshop.com Mobile for Android 1.1 editor, allowing them to make it a part of their applications.

The news comes four months after the company released Photoshop.com Mobile for Android, enabling users to easily edit and share their photos. That app got an upgrade, too.

Amusingly, Adobe also takes a bit of a swing… → Read More

Newegg's Shell Shocker needs many exclamation points: Adobe Photoshop Elements for $49

Newegg has the most ridiculous names for its sales. For example, today we have SHELL SHOCKER, written in some aggressive-looking font, along with a picture of a broken shell, to drive home the theme. As for the deal itself, I spy Adobe Photoshop Elements for $49, a full 44 percent off the regular price. → Read More

Aviary, the small New York-based startup with the ambitions of recreating Adobe Photoshop’s most popular design tools in the browser, has launched a simple, free tool, called Falcon, that lets you quickly grab and edit images within the browser. Falcon, since it is web-based and works in any browser, can be used on a Mac or PC. Skitch, another similar fast, simple editing tool, is a desktop app… → Read More

Heads up, there's a trojan in a popular pirated Mac Photoshop CS4 distro

Heads up, freaks. There’s a trojan inside a certain Adobe Photoshop CS4 for Mac crack generator that’s spreading around. (Type “photoshop cs4 mac crack” in The PirateBay for the offending file.) It’s a variant of a trojan that was first discovered last week, so that means this trojan is getting around. → Read More

Software makes an ugly face beautiful

Israeli scientists have developed software that turns your ugly mug into a mathematically beautiful visage. Yes, we have evolved a great deal, us humans. What the software (a Photoshop plugin) does is alters a face to make it “look” more attractive, based on mathematics and “perceived” attractiveness. If you’ve watched any of those TLC or Discovery Channel documentaries about human… → Read More

Adobe officially announces Creative Suite 4: Photoshop to be GPU accelerated

Oh boy, some non-Android news for you. My guess is that it’ll be wall-to-wall Android in a few hours, so smoke ‘em if you got ‘em. That is to say, if you have no interest in Android—impossible!—may I suggest you break out the stamp collection, maybe watch Ferris Bueller’s Day Off for the 900th time? Anyhow, the next version of Adobe Photoshop, CS4, which comes… → Read More

Kid asks for Photoshop help, gets hilarious results

The Premise: A young man reaches out to an online forum for help, asking people to retouch an old photo that he wants to make into a birthday present for his father. The Result: A few people retouch the photo for him, though not at all as he planned. Hilarity ensues. A word of caution that at least one of the photos is NSFW. → Read More

JCrew uploads two product images: one before photoshop, one after photoshop

When you look at this JCrew product page, does anything stand out as peculiar? If you’re thinking “Holy crap! Lounge crinkle tissue pants for only $39.99, what a steal!”, take another look. More specifically, check out the product sample images. Roll over the first two a couple times. Yep. Likely as a result of a simple naming convention error during saving, two versions of the… → Read More

Yes, Virginia, Adobe Photoshop ‘CS4’ will have new UI

The next version of Adobe Photoshop, which may not be called CS4, and may not come out in October, will indeed have a new user interface, at least on the Mac version. The big change is this element called the application frame, as seen in the above screenshot. Reaction to the new UI element has been mixed, including early protestations by an Adobe gentleman, who has since been won over by the new… → Read More

Crunchdeals: Photoshop CS 3 for ~$300, no shadiness necessary

If you feel like getting a legal copy of Photoshop CS3, it’ll run you North of $650 normally. But those miserly geniuses over at Photography Bay have figured that you can get it for half that if you’re careful. It seems you can upgrade Photoshop Elements to CS3 for $300 directly from Adobe, and if you don’t have Elements, you can get it for $37 at Amazon. Total cost: $337 plus… → Read More
