The humorously bitter video series You Suck at Photoshop will return June 27 after a fan backlash erupted following the show’s abrupt ending earlier this year.
13 states (although I was only in Montana for a few miles) and a whole bunch of mountain ranges and passes, I’m back with no speeding tickets! (I did see a lot of state troopers along the way but I guess they didn’t see me).
I left at dawn on June 3rd and returned about 8:00PM on June 20th although I didn’t ride the bike for the whole week of my workshop at Greg Gorman’s (good that I didn’t because of the amount of wine consumed).
I’ll have a trip and workshop report at a later date but I’ve got to go through about 5K images that I shot along the way.
Well, the workshop is over and I’m in San Francisco Sunday evening planning my route home. I rode down Highway 1 from Mendocino to San Francisco–that’s a heck of a ride. Monday I’m going to visit Peachpit and do a short ride with Lisa Brazieal, the production manager on my book. Then it’s all out riding East. I should be home Friday or maybe Saturday depending on photo ops. And the full story of the ride and workshop will come in a week or so.
I’m leaving at dawn Tuesday on a motorcycle ride out to Mendocino, Ca. to do a workshop with Greg Gorman. Along the way I’ll be hooking up with George Jardine of Adobe (in Denver) and we’ll ride the back roads of Utah and Nevada and through Northern California to arrive just in time for Greg’s birthday on Saturday.
This is a shot of George and I during our fall ride to check out the aspens.
I’ll try to post updates from the road, but you know how tiring 500-600 miles a day on a bike can be. So posts may be pretty light until my return sometime around June 20th. If ya see a big guy on an R1100 GS BMW bike with aluminum bags, give a honk (and get into the slow lane). This trip should turn the milage on the bike to over 90,000 miles!
Good intentions gone awry is the title to a blog post recently posted by John Nack, Senior Product Manager for Adobe Photoshop.
It seems that in an attempt at clarifying a previous discussion about what he did or didn’t show at a recent public meeting, he thinks he may have muddied the waters a bit. So, this most recent clarification is an attempt at clarifying the previous clarification, sort of.
Mac Photoshop CS3 users who updated to Leopard 10.5.3 last week are reporting file corruption issues when saving files over the network to network mounted volumes. The issue seems to have come with the 10.5.3 update which updated certain network components. The issue seems to be related to a previous issue from January 2007 and the 10.4.5 to 10.4.6 update as outlined in this Adobe Tech document. The issue also appears to effect InDesign documents as well.
Adobe said it was looking into the matter but indications are that it’s an Apple issue to fix. Users report a work around by using the Save As command instead of simply saving over the remote file. It should be noted that Adobe doesn’t officially support opening and saving over a network and has long suggested copying a file locally and then moving it over the network.
