New Photoshop is NUTS

No, but I can pick a better angle/location.

There are other park benches in the world besides that first one and even after the editing it is not a photo I would sell to a client. They probably got it from someone who wants to be a photographer but never interned or worked as an assistant. It's a common thing in the industry, I have been hired for a few reshoots.

The second one is as simple as taking two photos instead of one. (The edit of the second one looks like crap BTW.)

The third is just adding more photos in to the panoramic.

If you can afford Photoshop legally then you are probably a professional in some sort of graphics oriented career. This is just common sense stuff.

:cross: Crazy cool!

I am going back into college for Digital Media Design and Photography after a 20 year hiatus. The technology sure has changed during that time. Wow...

Most of the issues with Windows are ID-10-T errors!

They say the weakest point in a computer is the device that's in between the monitor and the back of the chair.

But on a related note, the Microsoft Windows philosophy is to stuff everything in the kernel--the heart of the OS. That's a bad move and the source of many of its security vulnerabilities. But I'm off topic and will stop this right now.

As a person who knows how to perform optimization algorithms, I know that when you do cost/benefit analysis you weight by inverse cost. It's pretty hard to outperform a fraction that has a zero in the denominator.

As a photographer I can't stand Gimp, it does not compare to Photoshop regardless of what people say. Though I really wish it did.

And in that video... nothing he did couldn't have been done faster by being a better photographer. You don't shoot and fix it in post.

Perfect!

Getting back to the original post, the new Photoshop is indeed pretty awesome (I have it). You can get it for literally a fraction of the normal retail price (either stand alone or as part of a suite) if you are or know someone who is a student at a university or college that has an agreement with Adobe (you buy it thru the school) - you can get the listing of schools from Adobe. If you have or know a kid in high school or below (all the way down to 1st grade) you can still get it for a lot less than normal retail - but not as good as the deal for college students. I got the Web Design Suite (something like8 different Adobe programs, including Photoshop) a couple months ago for $275 (normal retail is $1500). Check it out.

EDIT: I have CS4, not the new CS5 due to come out later this month.

Just don't get caught using the academic version for professional work. Adobe frowns upon that. Personally and I know it sucks but if you are a professional needing these tools you really should purchase them. The upgrades from suite to suite are usually the same as the academic discounts. So once you make the initial investment the future releases are much cheaper for you. The peace of mind of having legitimate software for your profession is well worth the investment. but.... if you just use it for fun sure go for the academic or look for one of those "T" word files.
