“Adobe last week confirmed plans to make an entry-level version of Photoshop available online as a hosted web service,” Evans reports.

Fsckin’ finally! Better ridiculously late than never, we guess.

What a stupid video.
The video is for cubicle workers, not creative people out to change the world. I hate it.
Yup…that’s not much of a video…Is it supposed to show 3D? or group integration or uh….what exactly?
I want to see something I haven’t seen before that makes me wonder…”How’d they do that?”
and THEN I find out it’s done with a new function in the software…
Maybe all the innovation is gone at Adobe and swallowing Macromedia simply took too much for them to create something truly new.
Does this video address my concerns over how well Photoshop will run on the new Intel chips?
NO!
Pile of shite!
That video is rubbish. If you’re not going to show off the product then you can at least be cool or novel. That thing is just a load of people chucking some boxes around again and again, and again, and again, and so on.
Did anyone else notice that several times the “box” looked like the SBOD? They’re trying to warn us to not get our hopes up!
This video shows how Adobe has been working too long in the Windows world. Where’s the creativity? This video sucks and does nothing to make me excited about the product.
What about Photoshop Elements for the Mac- version 5?
“MacDailyNews Take: Fsckin’ finally! Better ridiculously late than never, we guess.”
What was the big dilemma? Oh yes, forgot. You guys all went out and dumped your PowerPC macs overnight and got stuck with the first generation Wintel, err – Mactel “solution” from Apple. Your Photoshop speeds suck, but hey, you can run Windows! Yippee! Of course you’ve only spent the last year and half talking about how great of a deal it was to move over to Intel chips and how great things are with Boot Camp and the ability to finally get fully Microsuck on your macs. Despite the extra cores, other than ripping a CD or launching a handful of specific tasks, the dual-core G5s in our office continue to outperform and outproduce the Intel MacPros. Yeah, its all Rosetta, right? Performance per watt. Keep drinking the Kool Aid. Give it about 3 more generations of Intel chips and you’ll finally be there – kind of like the folks who got duped into buying the Core Duo only to find that it was just a test chip for the Core 2 Duo. Soon to be the Core 2 Duo 2 probably.
Better ridiculously late than never, I guess.
Oh my god. That has got to be the lamest video I have ever seen in my 15 years in the Macintosh industry. Adobe has lost any creative/innovative edge that they may have once had.

I hope there are better multimedia features in CS3!
CS2 sucks at creating interactive content.
So, is CS3 just a glow in the dark box?
I wanted UB versions of Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator, and all they’ve been working on is a glow in the dark box!
No wonder it took them so long…
Wow ….. that video is really lame ….
The cubes are computer pixels. That’s a good idea.
But they are throwing them around for too long.
Apple should go ahead an raise the price of the Mac Pro. Now that everybody will be ordering it it would be a good way to avoid demand outstripping supply.
I just don’t see what purpose that video serves from a Mac or Windows PC perspective.
I’m waiting for news of the other, non-CS3 applications (stuff from Macromedia) – DreamWeaver, Fireworks, Flash, Director…
It’s about time.
I can’t wait to hear the new features of InDesign and Illustrator. Both have some many opportunities for improvement!
Hmmm, this in relation to the Prudential note gives me hope that Leopard will be making an appearance in a couple of weeks!
I want Actions in InDesign… man my life would be easier if I could program Actions in InDesign…
In the video, he’s firing up an old G4… is this a sign?
CS3 is going to be spectacular, guys. Really. You’re going to love it.

Just in time for Leopard and a new lineup of Mac Pros.
What’s in the box?
It’s about goddam time!
NOW I can git me one a them MacBook Pros!
Just in time for Leopard to break it (fixed that for you JohnE). Then Adobe will act all surprised.
