Don't upgrade to Photoshop CS3

Don't upgrade to Photoshop CS3

On the Adobe US site, an upgrade to CS3 is priced $199,but this is only available to customers who live in the US or Canada. UK photographers are redirected to the Adobe UK site, where the upgrade is priced £162.32 (which is around $319). Photographers have already set up a petition online at
www.gopetition.com/petitions/fair-pricing-for-european-software.html

This states: 'We, the undersigned, request that Adobe revises its pricing for Europe and apply fair pricing for European countries. If this is not possible,we request a valid explanation of why Adobe sells its products 190% of the US price to its European customers.'

CleVR Panoramas

I thought this was pretty neat - a site which allows you to stitch photos together into a panorama online, and also hosts them there for your guests to view. The flash viewer has a pretty neat feature - it allows for clickable hotspots, which will take you to a new panorama.

http://www.clevr.com

View this panorama for example - which will give you a full 360 degree tour of someone's home.

Click and drag to pan around inside the panorama, and click on the hotspots to move to another room... neat!
