After Effects 8.02 now available
Note: This update does NOT fix the conflict between AE and QuickTime 7.4 that we reported here. Adobe's recommendation is still to avoid the 7.4 QuickTime update.Good news users of Adobe After Effects CS3 (8.0) who are running Leopard -- 8.02 is now available and it fixes many of the compatibility issues between the two programs. It also introduces native support for Panasonic P2 equipment.The Read Me has all the details, but in addition to fixing issues with preserving underlying transparency and properly supporting PSD files with layer groups, 8.02 adds OpenGL support for supported cards under OS X 10.4.10 and OS X 10.5.x.This is an inclusive update, so After Effects 8.0 users do not need to worry about downloading 8.01 first. You can download the update directly from Adobe or from within After Effects (choose "Updates" from the Help menu).[via DAV TechTable]
Rumor: Adobe Photoshop CS3 beta to be released soon
Think Secret is reporting that unnamed sources have advised them that Adobe will be releasing a beta of the Photoshop CS3 Universal Binary as early as this week. In true Adobe fashion, however (and assuming it's true, which we don't really know) Open GL-based image zooming, which is what will make CS3 "feel" so fast, will be disabled in beta - and it might not even be ready when they release the final product! Is there a new definition of "final" that I'm not aware of? The other catch, if this rumor is true, is that The Photoshop CS3 public beta won't really be public at all. It will be open only to registered owners of Photoshop CS2 and a valid serial number will be required to download the beta, which will be the "standard" version, not the "premium" version. Details on what features differentiate "standard" from "premium" are still fuzzy, however.Enterprise and Pro users will likely rejoice if this rumor is true, but why must all Mac-love coming from Adobe these days be so conditional and half-hearted?
