New Photoshop Details Leaked

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the sneaking-a-peek dept.

Odie writes "Oops. Looks like Adobe accidentally let slip the details of the next Photoshop version due on Friday. According to BetaNews, the next version, dubbed Photoshop CS2, is supposed to add several new features such as Image Warp and Vanishing Point, as well as changing around the file browser to allow users access to royalty-free images from five providers for use in their work. The new version is due in May according to the press release which BetaNews saw."

      Why do they insists on going overboard with that? I know damned well that those words are trademarked after reading it once. Readability is badly hurt by putting all of those "circle-r" brands in the text. Everywhere. If they miss one instance on a page, it's not an open license for others to start calling their painting software "Adobe Photoshop".

  3. Vanishing Point by mattkime · · Score: 4, Funny

    A tool known as Vanishing Point will allow the user to recolor and transform objects in an image without altering its perspective.

    Maybe its just me, but I've never had a problem with the perspective on an object while I was modifying the color. Now, if I'm using the transform function, I probably do want to alter the perspective.

    What does this tool do again?

    Don't worry, there will be a new "Enhance" menu. It will have sub-items "zoom in on that", "Can you see what's behind that", "What is that a reflection?" and "Clear that up". These commands only work if someone is looking over your shoulder, never alone. It has been rumored that there will be a "run through APHIS" command, but this may be disabled in the consumer edition. Myself, I would rather add "Undo stupid changes" to Edit, but that's just me.
