Adobe offers holiday gifts: Photoshop CS3 Beta and CSS Advisor Beta
For Mac users of Adobe software it seemed like there was no hope to getting Photoshop to run very well on an Intel based Mac. Having to wait until CS3 seems like cruel and unusual punishment… especially if you support people that want to run Photoshop on a Macbook. Well wait no more, a public beta is about to appear with a universal binary in the Adobe Labs site for current CS2 users. The speed improvements are welcome. I am sure many CS3 reports will flood the mac blogging world… all that I can say is try it out for yourself, its free so why not?
Adobe didn’t stop at software… oh no… For the CSS developer there is a new CSS Advisor web site that will allow anyone with an Adobe ID to post, rate and comment on articles. It is a sort of Adobe CSS wiki. Sure it seems like a duplication of efforts with the different sites out there but I must admit I like the idea of having a central resource to find this information. I do wish it existed outside the Adobe site though… some creative commons Adobe sponsored domain would be ideal. It will be interesting to see how the web standards community reacts—will this site take off?
Update: Photoshop CS3 is now in labs awaiting your download…
