Ware
of the 
MONTH

This section reviews and honors a certain ware every month.

This Month's Ware:

Photoshop 5.0

Wow.  This creation from those blood suckers at Adobe is absolutley, simply put, the  shit.  What can I say?  Multiple Undos is wonderful, a history palette adds tons of ease, full ColorSync support makes printing and sharing a lot better, usefull plug-ins save money and time, and also editable text layers are very helpfull.

Multiple Undos

Wow, they said it wouldn't be done.  Here it is.  Multiple Undos adds ultimate control for the undos and redos.  The only con for this is its very RAM hungry.  But Adobe thought of that to, you can control how many undos it will store in memory lowering or highering the requirements.  Simply put, this is the best thing to happen to Photoshop since Duotones.

History Palette

Ever wished you had a browser like history for Photoshop?  Now there is.  With the History Palette you can go back to as many as 99 actions.  

Color-In-sync

Color sync support feature offers the same color and consistency throughout any application or computer for that matter.  Have you ever printed something and have the print come out darker or lighter or greener?  This feature now fixes that.  Great eh?

New plugins

Aside the many many filters already offerd by Photoshop, the three new ones are perhaps the most time saving and best.  The three new filters are Bevel, Glow, and Shadow.  I personally use these three the most of any filters I have including EyeCandys and Phototools.  

Edit-able text

I hated when I had to make a new layer for every different font I had.  Well, now all I have to do is make one layer and define the format as I wish.

Bad Stuff

RAM hungry and expensive is all I can think of.  (Expensive probably doesn't apply to most of us though huh?)

So thats the ware of the month.  Go buy it (preferably) or download for a trial (uh trial, thats right)

The Q
