Adobe Discontinues Photoshop
In a move that no one expected, Adobe announced today that it has discontinued its flagship product, Photoshop. Despite the success of the Creative Suite which brought record-breaking profits and revenue in the fourth quarter of 2003, Adobe has decided it’s time to halt development on Photoshop.
Adobe Systems CEO Bruce Chizen had this to say about the surprising announcement: "There is no doubt that Adobe Photoshop is one of the most innovative and widely used software programs today. But the need to continually introduce new, groundbreaking features while building on 14-year old product code has been extremely confining to our development team. We feel it’s time to take Photoshop off the market–wipe the slate clean, so to speak–and see what our developers can do starting from fresh code. We can’t tell you when our Photoshop replacement will hit the market, but we are confident it will blow away all expectations."

I highly suggest that you do not just glance at this one. It does require reading the whole story.

This is unbelievable for such a popular software title! I agree, you must read the entire story to understand this industy shaking move by Adobe. After reading the rest of the article, I’m sort of looking forward to seeing what Adobe developers come up with using all new code.

Wendy, I was about to tell you to forget the heart attack and I didn’t yet know of the 4-1 joke. Even if Adobe did that I wasn’t worried … they never drop all those Photoshop followers flat on their face.

My friend sent a picture of what looked like the real thing, an Apple G5 with 3 processors… April fool’s of course. But for a brief moment there, I was like.. "Really ???"… Until my logic kicked in and realized 3 processors isn’t possible.. ! (works in pairs)

This reminds me of graffiti I read on a university washroom wall "There are three kinds of people in this world. Those that can count and those that can’t!"

Jodi,

Thanks. Those are wonderful. How did you find them? Will they work in OS X? Is any of the site in English? How do you get them and use them?

Carl, I know nothing of Macs except for the stuff I here about iPhoto 🙂 …but anyways, I really can’t remember when I found this…it was so long ago. There are mucho sites that have ‘smilies’….just put that in the search engine. To get the emoticon to show up here…chose one>right click on it and chose ‘properties’ then look for the URL >hightlight it>copy it. Then on the forum at the beginning put ;

img src=and paste the http address here. Put < at beginning and > at end….no spaces between the < and >.

Carl, all those sorts of things–emoticons, favicons, etc.–don’t care what platform you use, just which browser. You shouldn’t have any trouble in any fairly recent browser on any platform (old browsers will have trouble because they don’t have the graphics capability), and HTML is HTML no matter what computer you are using.

Jodi and/or Barbara,

I don’t have a right click. I do have a ctrl-click to clipboard. So, here goes. I have done the . If that isn’t right, please correct.

Can this work in an email?

Hi, Carl. Nope, you need to go back and look at Jodi’s instructions again. The embed tag was wrong in your last post.

It’s not a good idea in email because it only works if the recipient has HTML mail enabled and not many people do. If the emoticon isn’t animated you might be able to insert it like any other graphic, though.

You have to link to the url for the emoticons to show up.

Jodi, Barbara, Mark, or anyone,

Please more help.

I now can right click on the icon. I get 1) open image in new window,2) save image as…., 3) copy image to clipboard. Which should I choose or should I do something else? Then I copy the URL, <http://www.plauder-smilies.de/> , then I go to Message and put in < no space img src=http://www.plauder-smilies.de/ no space >. I don’t speak the lingo enough to know what it means that the embed tag was wrong or that I need to link to the URL.

Aside from that, why would most people not have HTML mail enabled.

Sorry to be dense but I didn’t even catch that was vomiting. My years or decades of computer evasion is showing.

Thanks

"I didn’t even catch that was vomiting"

I didn’t either, Carl. Personally I’d like to think it’s because we’re too "sensitive" to consider those possibilities! 🙂

So what did you think that green stuff was, bad breath?

Carl,

Get yourself to the emoticon page. Click ‘fun and logos’ on the left

and then click this guy on the left

If you click an emoticon you will see a url in a box at the bottom of the page. Select this url and delete the stuff in the brackets.

precede the url with this ‘<‘img src=’ and end it with ‘>’ Not the quote marks.

Try it.

Well MY excuse is that I’m looking at these displayed on a 14" screen at 1024 X 768. Sometimes details are easy to miss! Of course Carl has Lapzilla, so I don’t know what his excuse is. 🙂

I found this emoticon site in English: <http://www.mysmilies.com>

I think a lot of these were created to use with Instant Messenger and other such chat software. Some of the are too big to use in this forum and some of them are not very nice and we "shouldn’t" use them.

Let’s see if I remember how to do this. Here is one of my favorites for shocked or to express "picking my lip up off the floor…"
