Photoshop 8.0


Question

crack smack.. i think photoshop should use a us dongle much like audio programs i use do. I'm not saying coming across software is cheap, by all means it's not. But if you intend on using it you should buy it. I equate it to Knowing there's a hot car on the mark.. say a nice Acura NSX, going to dealership researching it then going home withougt buying. Later that night you return it to the dealership steal it and drive it around.. what's the harm you only want to test it right?.. Later in the week while driving your stolen NSX you decide that it's not cool the seats are reclining corectly so you call the manufacturer and ask for assistance. .. *this is a blantant rant about the cubase.net forums...* but i'm sure it's tru with most software titles. Bottom line is be it software or hardware, stealing is stealing.

However .. beta software is not so big an issue in my eyes..... and maybe that's me having a double standard

just my usless 2 cents.. ;)

Hi,

Here's a feature often overlooked in the quest for reasons to upgrade to CS--Nested Layers. For me, this alone is worth the upgrade price, but there are also many other performance and usability enhancements that aren't easily detected from just looking :blink: at the UI.

Nested-Layer-Sets-I.gifNested-Layer-Sets-II.gif

A few more new features not mentioned very often, but still very useful:

  • Time Tracking for Billing Projects
  • High Quality Previews in the Lightbox
  • Full-on 16 Bit Editing
  • Photomerge Panoramas
  • Filter gallery for Viewing Multiple Filters Simultaneously
  • Color Matching Across Layers or Images
  • Pixel Aspect Ratio
  • Customizable Doc Presets
  • Export Directly to Flash SWF (ImageReady)
  • Customizable Help Menus
  • Color Replacement Tool
  • Conditional Actions

Would anyone here recommend purchasing Photoshop CS for a casual home user? I would like to learn Photoshop more but am not sure if this (rather expensive!!!) software is worth the purchase or if I should perhaps look into Photoshop 7 or even Photoshop Elements 2. :unsure:

stick with photoshop element 2.0

its like 90 CAD and it's way enough for 90% of ppl doing picture editing

Too bad that their full-on 16bit editing doesn't include the majority of their effect filters. That's weak.

:pinch: 3 things......

#1 16bit is mainly used for editing photos

#2 16bit is used to pre edit the photo before going into 8bit, because it has far more color/contrast info to adjust

#3 the "filters" will take up way to much memory and CPU resources to calculate the result in 16bit, because it contains way more info than 8bit.

i hope you get the point

Double memory, same CPU usage.

I want precision in my edits and effects, and it does matter when you work a lot on a picture, or add a lot of effects. Noise and color banding own you. That's why moving pictures (where you notice errors less than on still pictures) are processed at 16bit color channels since ages, or even floating point since recently.

    • Microsoft admits one of the most crucial Outlook features is currently broken by Sayan Sen Microsoft is making some decent progress when it comes to Windows 11. Recently we have confirmed reports of some rather useful improvements landing in the next version of the OS, 26H2, wherein GPU driver TDR crashes may finally be fixed, plus the company is also allowing users to disable web content on the Search. On the Outlook front though things have not been so rosy. Last month in May we reported several problems affecting basic functionalities on the app. These included a problem where documents would open blank or corrupt themselves. Following that, Quick Steps, a very useful feature, would no longer work correctly, and finally, Microsoft acknowledged a problem wherein images would fail to load up properly inside the email. Microsoft had resolved those bugs later and almost exactly a month after we reported on them, the company has now admitted a new similarly basic issue, this time on Macs. Users recently started noticing that Outlook would no longer display email threads properly as the original message itself was not displayed. An affected user Tsoumpas, C (ngmb) nicely described the problem in a forum post they made on Microsoft's site. They wrote: "Description of the issue: After updating Outlook for Mac [Version 16.110 (26061317)] on 18/6/2026, replying to any email no longer includes the original message in the reply window. Prior to the update, replies correctly contained the original email text below my response. Expected behavior: The original message should be included in the reply, as in previous Outlook versions and according to the configured reply settings. Actual behavior: The reply window contains only a blank composition area (or only my response), with none of the original email text included." Obviously this must be a highly frustrating for users as noted by several in that thread. The post, at the time of writing, has also been upvoted by more than 40 users indicating that is a fairly widespread bug. Thankfully Microsoft seems to have acknowledged the problem right around that time as it opened a new issue on its official website. In the support article, the company recommends switching to Outlook for Mac from the legacy app, where the problem appears to be happening.
