I looked over Adobe TV a little bit today and was impressed with the content there so far - especially a couple of the Photoshop related tutorials. Using any recent Adobe product? Worth a look. Of course, the site is completely done in flash which is ok except the SEO side of me screams when I see that.

Andre Michelle is leading a campaign called Adobe MAKE SOME NOISE that is calling for Adobe to take some action and fix a pretty big problem with the Actionscript Sound API in the latest Flash Player and also to rally together support to show Adobe that alot of people need/want more control over sound with Actionsript in the next version of the Flash Player.

Adobe Photoshop Express is basically a flash version of Photoshop. Well, a really streamlined photoshop. Like John said, it’s a web app that should be compared to a “web-based competitor to iPhoto” then anything Photoshop. In other words, no where near as complex.

I’ve been playing with it for a few minutes only. I like how you can store photos (2GB?). I’m wondering if there’s an AIR app in the works.

I might be playing with Adobe AIR soon, so I wanted to bookmark some interesting links.

AS3 Zip Library Release (nochump.com)

Drag and Drop Multiple File Upload (Merb on AIR)

Samples Updated for AIR Beta 3 (Kevin Hoyt)

This is a link about accessing the file system in AIR, but i’m really wanting to order that Beginning AIR book when it comes out March 17th.

Recently I was working in Adobe Photoshop CS3 for a client’s website project, all of a sudden my Photoshop wouldn’t display anything but the “hand” icon. No matter what tool I selected, I would always have the hand icon and not getting the tool I wanted. No move tool, no type tool, nothing. I did a quick search on the internet and couldn’t find much so i’m bookmarking my solution here.

First, simply restart Photoshop. A few sources claimed it was a memory problem, although in my case i had plenty of memory. If that doesn’t work, try clearing the menus and settings in your windows menu (this is Photoshop CS3 i’m working in). That seemed to work for me. Perhaps a corrupted preferences file is the problem - especially if rebooting photoshop and your computer isn’t helping.

My Photoshop suddenly return to normal a few minutes AFTER I cleared my perferences. Strange, but maybe this could help somone else out there.

Mike Chambers whips it out. Not impressed, I really miss the rocket and the whole “apollo” name early on.
