Tomorrow’s Special Guest Blogger is….
….none other than Adobe Photoshop Product Manger (and all around cool guy), Bryan Hughes.
I got to spend some time with Bryan when I was out at Adobe’s HQ last month, and he really brings a totally different point of view to the evolution of Photoshop, how we work with it, what we want, and where it’s going. On a personal level, he’s a very dedicated, passionate, fun, and totally brilliant guy, and it’s a real honor to have him as my guest tomorrow here on the blog. I hope you’ll stop by and check out his Guest Post.



















Looking forward to this one. Also reminded me of another Adobe guy (former anyway) that has some great insights into photography – Frederick Van Johnson, over at TWIP, and at http://frederickvan.com Might be worth a call/email to see if he’d be interested in a guest blog posting…
Scott – this doesn’t have anything to do with your guest blogger, but I just wanted to say KUDOS on the new, more environmentally friendly DVD packaging. I’d remain a NAPP member, anyway, because I love what you guys do. But now I’m loving *how* you guys are doing it a little bit more.
Hi Folks,
I have CS3 Design Premium and don’t use all the apps. so I just wanted to upgrade
photoshop . I got PS CS 4 Extended upgrade at Calumet installed it and it wouldn’t let me register.
I called Adobe and they said you have to purchase CS4 Design Premium and you
cannot just upgrade Photoshop even though Ps CS3 is on my system.
I called Calumet and they said you can and they wouldn’t let me return it.
Could you please tell me the facts on this?
As it is I don’t need what they are seemingly forcing on me and I already paid for something that will last only 30 days.
Thanks for any info on this.
Matthew
I have a sincere question.
I pay $40/year for Spam protection on my computer.
I pay almost $100/year for my NAPP membership. I belong to NAPP for assistance with Photoshop and Lightroom, not to continuously receive NAPP marketing emails.
Unfortanately, NAPP is becoming my biggest Spam source with its never ending emails about Photoshop World and other, not too frequent, marketing info. I would direct all NAPP email to my junk email folder but I am afraid I might miss something that would be truly useful to me.
Scott, what can I do to stop receiving you marketing emails short of not renewing my membership after 5 years?
Thank you,
Hi Folks,
A little follow up on my comment.
As you guys already knew, I had to get the full creative suite upgrade.
It seems like a corporate style shake down to be forced to pay for something you don’t want.
The only excuse I got from Adobe was that the serial numbers were different and it was not possible to upgrade the individual applications from within the creative suites.
Well, with all the combined talent at Adobe you can’t figure out how to serialize and individualize applications nested in a bundle ?
It’s like going to buy a new camera body and the camera company says that is not
possible unless you buy 3 lenses along with it!
