Autodesk did the right thing with AutoCad. Which Adobe did the same.

But that actually has nothing to do with the EULA. I can go steal photoshop online and install it, but that doesn't mean it meets the End User License Agreement.

Question:
You know how in Windows you can press the up/down arrow keys to flip through all the blend modes in the layers panel?
Is it possible to do this in CS6 on the Mac side? Its always bugged me.

Yeah I agree about the bloat in Photoshop, I mentioned it previously in this thread. There shouldnt be any video/3D editing crap in Photoshop. For those specific tasks there are dedicated apps that do it better and faster. No need to add it to PS at the expense of application optimization. PS could really use some tweaking to run smoother.
Yeah, i hate getting giant files. Especially when they don't have to be. There's way too many young, but very talented, designers that still don't understand how to develop an efficient work flow for productions using the CS suite properly and what is needed and what is redundant. A lot of them also don't understand that a ton of what they do in PS can be done in AI a lot more efficiently......I just wish they'd improves AI's 3D effects. They do suck compared to PS, but I guess that's what Blender is for.
THIS.
I was making an icon for a client a couple weeks ago for their Blackberry app. I wanted to throw in some extruded 3D text at a 45 degree angle that wrapped around a cylinder. Not possible in Illustrator. I tried using Blender and watching some tutorials on how to do it, I gave up eventially. I remember doing this in 3DS Max when I was in highschool, but Blender's GUI is absolutely terrible.
Hmmmmm yeah, Blenders GUI has gotten better, but it still needs a lot of work. I'd like to have a look at that design. Maybe if you PM some details I can help you out. While I hate Illustrator 3D I have been known to work some magic
. It's sleep time for me, but PM if you want. Always happy to help a brother out

Will do if the client makes the request, but the project is 95% done and the client completely approved so I doubt it will need any greater tweeking beyond a few minor details. Thanks though
Peace out.
Shift + or Shift -
The lack of a 32bit version could be a problem for me. I have a couple of 32bit plug-ins that the developer will never upgrade that I cant work without.
omg, yes! finally! I even remember my last boss telling me how he wanted to be able to do that in os x. thank you!
yes its been there on the Mac since forever.
1. first make sure you are not on a painting tool or else it will change the blend mode for that tool and not the later.
2. shift and +/- will cycle through blend modes.
good to have this around:

Pretty sure the Aperture team went to work on iPhoto for iPad.. it does a lot of the same things.
Meanwhile, I pretty much work exclusively in Aperture now. So good.
Don't really do excessive special fx in Photoshop, and plugins work fine in Aperture. Lightroom is always catching up.
Skip upgrading is a frugal thing ... but be careful with it: Adobe has caught on to it and has changed their upgrade policies - - already, CS (ie, CS1) has been cut out of eligibility for later versions...
...and with them dropping in CS 5.5 in the sequence, I'd not be surprised if CS3 isn't eligible for CS 6.
If I were you, I'd take a look right now to see what the upgrade requirements are for CS5.5 ... if it is CS2, you'll probably be okay in taking the risk that 6 will allow upgrades from 3 ... but if 5.5 is already on 3, then I'd bet beers that your 3 is going to get dropped for 6 and CS4 will be the latest upgradable version.
Of course, being on a campus, you could just look at buying a new "Student version" as another less-than-full-cost option...
-hh
Adobe and Autodesk's upgrade policies are atrocious.
If their customers didn't upgrade from a previous version of their software, it shouldn't mean that they are punished for it....It means that the software company didn't try hard enough to earn their upgrade fee and need to do better next time round.
This is what happens when you answer to shareholders instead of remaining a private company.
