If you use Adobe InDesign and have experienced crashes under Leopard, 10.5.4 brings some good news - and some bad.

Brushes, icons, stock photos, textures, patterns and tutorials. This site lists 240 free Photoshop resources.

It all began with a post at UNEASYsilence titled "Lies, Lies and Adobe Spies" which caught on to the fact that Adobe CS3 apps were calling out to a suspiciously-crafted IP address. As it turns out, the IP in question—192.168.112.2O7.net (note the capital O instead of a zero)—is not an IP at all, but rather a domain owned by statistics-tracking firm Omniture.

Just what is Adobe doing?

I've mentioned it before, but it bears repeating. Adobe offers a bevy of video tutorials for all the CS3 products at the Adobe Video Workshop section. Definitely worth checking out!

Adobe Fireworks is the industry leader for prototyping and rapid web-site building. Some of you may not be aware of this, as you may be using Photoshop for each phase of web-site production. The articles, tutorials, and resources gathered here will convince you of the power of this application.

A small but handy resource for tips & tricks for the Mac and graphics applications. This is one of my personal favorites!

One of the most overlooked features of InDesign is the Story Editor. The Story Editor provides a word processor-style view of an InDesign "story" (any individual text frame or set of threaded text frames). Any changes that you make to your text in the Story Editor are immediately made to the layout.

For a high-profile, award-winning app from one of the biggest software companies out there, the out-of-the-box experience for the new Adobe Photoshop Elements is crappy. Really, it’s the worst I’ve seen in ages. So I had to write this post to complain about it, of course.

The repetitive nature of Web site production is certainly not as fun as the initial creative design process. This is especially true on large sites, where most pages share the same look -- navigation bar, copyright, sidebars, and many other page elements remain identical across all of the pages of your site -- so much of the creative process is over. Fortunately, if you use Dreamweaver, a lot of the pain of building and maintaining a Web site can be eliminated by using Dreamweaver's timesaving Template tools.

A set of Photoshop brushes made up of various light beams and rays of light. It includes beams like those from spotlights, sunlight like you would see coming through branches, lighthouse light beams, sunburst type effects (full circles as well as half and three quarters of the burst), and even some particles to add to your beams of light to make it look like floating dust. These are extremely high resolution, averaging about 2250 pixels in size.

Warning: large download size!

A site dedicated to all things Adobe Acrobat and PDF-related.

As the company's software becomes more important to many companies, the attack surface of their products grows.

Although InDesign works wonderfully with Adobe Photoshop, it's always nice when you don't have to constantly go back and forth. Adobe InDesign CS3 takes some lessons from Photoshop in the way of transparency effects. Those effects we've come to know and love—such as Bevel and Emboss, Inner Shadow, Inner Glow, Outer Glow, and Satin—have now made their way into InDesign CS3. This will be a real boon to your creativity and productivity. Let's take a look at how this stuff works.
