Great news! CS3-CS4 upgrade pricing to CS6. Adobe relents!

wpid-adobe_logo-2012-01-11-14-313.jpg

Adobe finally listened to its customer base this time it would appear. They just announced that they “will offer special introductory upgrade pricing on Creative Suite 6 to customers who own CS3 or CS4.” It will be be available until Dec. 31, 2012 and the “ details on this offer, as well as any introductory offers for existing customers to move to Creative Cloud membership, will be announced when CS6 and Creative Cloud are released later this year.”

I hope that the offer is in line with past upgrade pricing. Only time will tell.

Scott Kelby’s Open Letter To Adobe Systems

wpid-scottkelby-2011-11-21-10-37.jpg vs. wpid-adobe-shantanu_narayen-2011-11-21-10-37.jpg

With Adobe’s recent announcement to price gouge their customer base with a lockout of CS6 upgrade pricing discounts to anyone not an owner of CS5 or CS5.5, it is wonderful to hear the Head of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP), Scott Kelby speak out on this topic.

Embed Keynote Slideshows

Testing out embedded Keynote presentations and slideshows.

Here is an interesting article for those in need of embedding an iWork.com beta Keynote presentation or slideshow from your mobile.me account into your blog posts or webpage. It uses iframes and works best with the most recent version of Safari and no idea how this will work with iCloud in the future so your mileage may vary.

A sad day for Apple fans indeed. This just up on the AP website.

“Apple says Steve Jobs resigning as CEO”

Best of luck Steve in your health and future. Keep fighting. I have faith that you have trained and inspired those at Apple to continue to make excellent products for many years to come. I believe that they can live up to your legacy.

Have peace.

Here is a shot of a streetlight in South Portland, Maine. It was a hot summer evening, and this light was peeking at me so I shot it.

The Services and About page still are being worked on and there will be more content coming to the photo and design galleries in the near future.
