Adobe has posted for download Lens Profile Creator 1.0 for Mac and Windows, its utility for generating lens profiles to be used with the Lens Correction tool in Photoshop CS5. These profiles will also be compatible with the soon-to-be-released Camera Raw 6.1 for Photoshop CS5 and the upcoming Photoshop Lightroom 3.

Adding a previously unannounced goodie into the CS5 mix, Russell Brown has created a new Watermark Panel for use in Photoshop. He writes, Need to watermark a photo? You got it! Need to watermark 10…

The all new Adobe Watermark panel takes all the hassle out of watermarking and let’s you get back to work (or doing the other things you like to do) a lot faster.
Oh yes! And now for a little a little self-deprecating fun* (“Unicorn into a meteor sho-weer!”): You can download and/or buy CS5 apps here. (Here’s the link for Photoshop specific…

Ah, we were trying to save this little bit to be “One more thing…” when the apps ship, but we can’t wait to share it: Both Lightroom 3 and Camera Raw 6 (part of CS5) will of…

With the introduction of killer new noise reduction, demosaicing algorithms, and sharpening plus sophisticated lens correction, the Lightroom/Camera Raw duo put even more distance between themselves and the competition, and I’d expect them to keep mopping the floor with Aperture among pro photographers.
This is an exciting development for our non-destructive editing technology and is designed to address lens correction via two methods: Lens Profiles and Manual Correction

PhotoShelter slideshows give you the ability to embed your galleries almost anywhere like a blog, webpage, or even your Facebook page. And as more and more people have used them, we’ve gotten a lot of feedback on how they could be even better. So I’m happy to announce that we’ve updated the features and functionality.

Apple has, at last, updated its MacBook Pro Line with new CPUs and graphics. The 15-inch can now be had with Intel’s Core i5 and i7 chips and the 17-inch gets the i5 as standard and the i7 as an option. This speeds things up, although the clock speeds act

With some 500,000 iPads sold in the first week, it is already proving to be a significant tool for the creative community. So, we wanted to write and let you know what we are doing about it.
As of last week, your liveBooks website is now automatically viewable by both the iPhone and the iPad. It’s good, but not great. So in May, we will be launching what we think is a great version that supports finger swipe, rotation and bookmarks as well as allowing you the choice of theme and background/homepage color and home screen icon. With this release your site will look and behave like what we’ve come to understand as an iPhone experience. And, it’s free!
Also in May we are enabling linking between a specific image on your liveBooks website to external e-commerce sites such as your ImageSpanTM account for licensing images, an EtsyTM page for selling your handmade items, Felt & Wire ShopTM for selling your paper goods, or your lab of choice for prints.
In short, we are providing ubiquitous, ‘device independent’ access to your website with an ability for you to tie that site image-by-image to any and all back-end services that you want.
We appreciate the many suggestions you’ve made and we’re excited to be developing many of them. Stay tuned.
And as always, we want to sincerely thank you for your ongoing support and business.
All the best,
Andy Patrick
President & CEO

Here are some of the things to look forward to when Photoshop CS5 ships next month, things that are not Content-Aware Fill and Puppet Warp:

Print instagram photos onto lush matte square photo paper. Your 25 best square pics have a crisp white border and paper thick enough to prop or pin anywhere.

So we took 336 photos with every possible combination of the Hipstamatic arsenal. (Because we love you.) And we even broken it down into an easy guide to tell you which combos go together. (Ditto.)
The iPad is retrograde. It tries to turn us back into an audience again. That is why media companies and advertisers are embracing it so fervently, because they think it returns us all to their good old days when we just consumed, we didn’t create, when they controlled our media experience and business models and we came to them. The most absurd, extreme illustration is Time Magazine’s app, which is essentially a PDF of the magazine (with the odd video snippet). It’s worse than the web: we can’t comment; we can’t remix; we can’t click out; we can’t link in, and they think this is worth $4.99 a week. But the pictures are pretty.

Before all the iPad buzz has even had a chance to fizzle, Apple this morning sent e-mails inviting press to a sneak preview of the next-generation iPhone operating system. The event is scheduled for Thursday, 10 a.m. PT at Apple headquarters. Apple has no

NPPA’s free iPad App offers the same functionality as its iPhone and iPod Touch App but has been optimized for the iPad’s bigger screen and incorporates some new features, such as splash screens of winning images from NPPA’s recently-judged Best Of Photojournalism 2010 contest.
Relying on incumbents to produce your revolutions is not a good strategy. They’re apt to take all the stuff that makes their products great and try to use technology to charge you extra for it, or prohibit it altogether.
