DP Review: Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 3 to support Tamron Lens Correction.

My 28-75 will be overjoyed.

Macworld: Adobe releases Lightroom 3.2, Camera Raw 6.2.

Crank up your Adobe updater.

Wall Street Journal: Flash Back: Demand Up in Engineering Specialty.

”At the same time, the supply of such engineers remains low. It is particularly difficult to find Flash engineers who have both an artistic and computer-science background, say executives. While there are many Flash designers with experience in artistic elements, few are trained in areas such as power and battery management, they note.” Sounds like a great big, fat opportunity to me.

Michel Gagné: Sensology.

Very cool. Created in rather old-school fashion. Reminiscent of “Fantasia.”

CNet: Vimeo gets Flash-HTML5 hybrid player.

”The change is that which one gets loaded depends on the device that’s accessing it and its bandwidth conditions.”

Mashable: Adobe AIR Apps on Android Phones by Q4 2010.

”AIR apps will be Market-ready and will not require any special approval process.” This will make creating RIA mobile apps on Android cheap and easy for small businesses (like my own).

Photoshop Insider Blog: Why Don’t I Just Switch to Aperture 3?

In spite of everything else he says here, I’d posit it is the smooth workflow to Photoshop. Lightroom 3 is amazing. There are great presets floating around, and some really nice web gallery templates, too.

John Nack on Adobe: Adobe & Typekit team up on Web font delivery.

Serendipity. I was just perusing the Typekit site yesterday. This may tip my hand.

DP Review reviews Lightroom 3.

Money quote: ”It’s not much of an exaggeration to say that at high ISO settings, switching to the new RAW processing engine is like switching to a new camera.” I agree, wholeheartedly. The output from LR3 from my 50D is exponentially better than from LR2.  If you’re using LR2, and have an APS-C sensor, take my advice, download the trial of LR3, and see for yourself (if you’re chary of purchase).

Technology Temple: Lightspark 0.4.2 released.

”Version 0.4.2 of Lightspark, the modern, efficient, open source Flash player is now officially released, with a couple of last moment fixes and improvements.”

CNet: Adobe Reader to block attacks with sandbox tech.

”Adobe is adding a “Protected Mode” to the next release of Adobe Reader for Windows due out some time this year, said Brad Arkin, director of product security and privacy at Adobe. The feature will be enabled by default and included in Adobe Reader browser plug-ins for all the major browsers.” What’s interesting here is the mention that they won’t roll out the feature for Macs right away, because the risk is primarily in the Windows version. That’s something I hadn’t heard before.  Everyone’s so intent on branding Acrobat as a security risk, they neglect to mention the Mac version is largely safe.

Mashable: Adobe to Roll Out New Publishing Software for Tablets.

”This new software, which will soon take its place in the Creative Suite pantheon, will be downloadable from Adobe Labs and will include tools that bridge the gap between print-oriented InDesign and software for interactive formats.” Right on time.

John Nack on Adobe: Controlling Adobe apps’ network connections.

”If you’re a system administrator & want more control over how and when Adobe apps can connect, these tech docs may be useful to you ...”

Web Design Interviews: Apple vs. Adobe: What Flash Developers Have to Say.

”We decided to ask several successful designers and Flash developers about their professional life after the war on Flash has begun. We discovered surprisingly different reactions.”

ByteArray: Flash Player 3D Future session at Max 2010.

Flash is going 3D.

Lightroom Killer Tips: Exposure vs. Brightness.

Useful.

ProductReviews.net: Adobe Flash on iPad Demo: iPhone iOS 4 support coming.

Intriguing.

Announcing SlideShowPro Mobile.

slideshowpro is going HTML5, as an option. Good news, if you have ‘politically sensitive’ clients.

If you want to know why Flash is still important for video delivery, read this.

Lightroom Killer Tips: Presets – Lightroom iPad Export Settings.

Handy.

Later: The wife says, “Couldn’t you have moved the hose first?” I found a handy excuse: “I didn’t want to lose that particular set of shadows on the umbrella.” Sandra: “Uh-huh.”

Adobe Labs: Adobe Audition for Mac Beta Notification.

I just signed up.

Studio Daily Blog: Coincident TV Hopes to Bridge Flash-HTML5 Gap.

”The company says savvy content creators can build a single interactive video experience, then easily re-skin it into different versions that will play in Flash-based browsers, on an iPad, or even on mobile devices.” You can apply to become a beta-tester.

CNet: Adobe moves mobile Flash from rhetoric to reality.

Now, it has to perform. All tech needs a little shakeout time, but the onus is on mobile Flash to be ‘perfect.’ I intend to sit back and watch for a while - and not make any judgmental comments.
