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.

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
