They draw.

Well, it was bound to happen-even Adobe now is hosting blogs…but in this case, they are public corporate blogs by Adobe personal. They have just recently been launched so they are rather sparse at the moment–but that will change if enough people find out about them.

The Adobe Stock Photos 1.0.3 update adds several new features and fixes some problems discovered after Adobe Stock Photos 1.0.2 was released. UPDATE: It seems the updates were posted prematurely, PSN has removed the direct links. However, the 1.03 update is now available via Adobe Updater.

It seems the mainstream tech media is bent on creating conflict where there really isn’t any. Case in point, Microsoft’s newly released beta of a “graphic” application code named Acrylic. See the PSN article Acrylic VS Photoshop - The Winner?.

Tom Fors, the fellow who brought you the ACR-Calibrator script is taking a little trip to Death Valley. But geek that Tom is, he’s documenting the trip in an unusual manner, he’s blogging it live (well almost) and uploading GPS coordinates and hopefully photos from the location.

Using Google Maps, he’s upload the locations of the planned photo expedition’s itinerary and will be attaching photos when he gets air time on his Verizion high speed broadband wireless card.
