Tech News & Updates28-3-2008 Adobe has announced the launch of a public beta for the online photo storage and manipulation tool called Adobe Photoshop Express. Be aware though there are some issues with the Terms and Conditions that have cause much online debate & concern that it would be best to wait until the issues are sorted out before uploading your prize shots. See the Digital Photography Review article here Adobe Photoshop Express Beta Update - Adobe has updated the Terms and Conditions see DPReview article here Adobe expressly rewrites rights 19-3-2008 Adobe Product Training Seminars - Adobe have a number of free online seminars on offer, some are live (look for eSeminar) and also pre-recorded seminars (look for OnDemand eSeminars). These are streamed as Flash format so it may well be that even if your IT dept's block video streaming formats such as Windows Media Video (WMV, ASF) or Quicktime Streaming Video (MOV) you will be able to view these if you have an up to date Flash Player for your browser and have relatively unrestricted internet access.This is the link http://events.adobe.co.uk/cgi-bin/main.cgi?country=pa 16-3-2008 Adobe has pulled the Lightroom 1.4 updaters from its website after several RAW file handling bugs were found, says Adobe's Tom Hogarty. While Camera Raw 4.4 is affected as well, the plug-in downloads have not been removed at this time. See more details here at Rob Galbraith Digital Photography Insights website. Update - Adobe has released the Camera Raw 4.4.1 & Lightroom 1.4.1 which hopefully resolves the problems with the previuos withdrawn version see article here Adobe RAWs again
