Adobe Releases 16 Bit Plug-in

Adobe has released a new plug-in for Photoshop that allows photographers to manipulate 16bit photos right in Photoshop. Photoshop Camera Raw is available today for download. Another plug-in that builds in support for the new JPEG 2000 standard is bundled with it. They can be yours for a mere $99. For our readers going to Photoshop World, we’ve gotten word that this was the announcement you’re going to get today at the keynote speech. Impress your friends and predict this will be the announcement.

Note:We’ve just gotten (6:40PM PST) the word from our corespondent in Californa that this indeed was the announcement at PhotoshopWorld.

Adobe Will Drop OS 9 Compatability with New Upgrades

According to ThinkSecret, Adobe will stop OS 9 compatability with just about all their upgrades except Illustrator. Photoshop 8 will be OS X only.
Quote:

“Adobe realizes that by not supporting OS 9 with Photoshop 8, it will lose a significant amount of money in sales, but the benefits of supporting only OS X outweigh the loss, Adobe feels. Developing Photoshop for both operating systems would take more time, time that could be used putting more features in an OS X-only version.”

Adobe Photoshop problem…nudge, nudge, wink, wink…tell us more, tell us more

A MacMerc reader by the name of Clayton Bench was having difficulty replicating the results of our Ubiquitous Aqua Text Tutorial and came to us for help. In the process of trying to find where Mr. Bench might have gone wrong, we discovered the problem may very well lie with Photoshop 7 itself.

What we found was when a Photoshop user presses the Down arrow to nudge down a selection, it will move down the expected single pixel when zoomed in, but will move down 2 or more pixels when zoomed out. (here’s how it is supposed to work according to Adobe’s online documentation for Photoshop 6)

Confused? Try this…
Open a Photoshop document and view it at 100% (Command-Option-0). Now make a square selection in the middle of it. Make sure the Options bar is visible and hit Command-T to transform the selected area. Keeping an eye on the Y coordinate, press the Down arrow key and notice the Y coordinate value increase by 1 pixel for each press. Hit Command-minus 3 times to zoom in. Now watch what happens when you press the down arrow. Is it still moving in single pixel increments?
Note:Can any of you confirm this problem? Please comment below.
