Windows Xp Users – don’t update Photoshop CS5!

Friday, December 10th, 2010

Photoshop upgradeAll Windows XP users, don’t update your copy of Photoshop CS5 to 12.0.2! This is an important message!

A bug was found after 12.0.2 was released that affects users on Windows XP only – this is an official message from Adobe.

For example:

  • tooltips within the application would not show up, even though that option was enabled in Preferences or
  • corrupted / randomly sized/angled type in tooltips after running the 12.0.2 update.

Here’s what Adobe says:

We’ve got a fix for the bug in-hand and are currently testing it.  Assuming we don’t uncover any other major issues, another update will be available soon that will contain the fix.

So wait till the next update.

Fixes for Lightroom 3 coming soon

Monday, August 9th, 2010

Hello everyone,

I know that many people were complaining about the performance of Lightroom 3 and I have found out from the guys from Adobe that there are some fixes coming soon.

There will be a fix for a mistake in the way cached previous are being build. This should especially get noticed while browsing through the images in the Loupe View on a big monitor.

As Adobe says: ” There’s may still some memory buildup issues in Develop to root out, especially around the caches used to improve interactive performance while brushing and spotting, but there’s more analysis to be done there and as with any caching we have to be careful not to slow things down by caching too little.

We should get some more information quite soon.

As soon as I know more, I will inform you here so stick with me.

For now, have a fabulous day and till tomorrow! :-)
