The news that you have all been waiting for…our Photoshop CS5 and Photoshop CS5 Extended compatibility updates have been posted to our download server and are ready for you. In addition to Photoshop CS5 compatibility, these updates also offer 64-bit compatibility for Mac OS X users {1}.
Here’s what you need to know about these updates.
If you are a registered user of any of the current versions of our plug-ins, these updates are provided free of charge.
Even if you’re not using Photoshop Cs5 but are still using Photoshop CS2, CS3 or CS4, you will benefit from these updates as we’ve fixed several known bugs in this release.
This release includes our official support for Aperture 3, specifically running in native 64-bit mode as opposed to running in 32-bit mode as was previously required for our plug-ins.
This release includes preliminary support for the public beta of Lightroom 3. Official support for the shipping version of Lightroom 3 will be available after Lightroom 3 officially ships. {2}
The safest, most foolproof way to do these updates are to visit our Software Updates page and download the appropriate installer and then run it. Please note, if you are a Suite 5 user, be sure to download the Suite 5.1 installer/updater and not the individual product installers/updaters.
If you have any of your own custom frames that you have created and imported into PhotoFrame, be sure to make a backup copy of your User frames folder BEFORE you install the Suite 5.1 update and then re-import your custom frames. Unfortunately, if you do not, you may lose these frames as we have seen where the database installer may wipe these out. Also, any ratings you’ve given your frames will be lost.
So if you’re ready to download the Photoshop CS5 update for your particular product, please visit our Software Updates page and get the installer you need. If you’re wondering, here are the official most recent version numbers for each product as of this release.
Plug-In Suite 5.1
Genuine Fractals 6.06
FocalPoint 2.0.1
PhotoTools 2.5.3
PhotoTune 3.0.2
PhotoFrame 4.5.1
Mask Pro 4.1.8
Windows users have had 64-bit compatibility already since Suite 5 was released back in December 2009 [↩]
Seems obvious, but I thought I should mention that. [↩]
As Dave points out in his video, he found the DSLR Camera Remote very useful on a recent studio shoot he did where, like many of us, he didn’t have an assistant so it was up to him to manage the lighting, do the test shoots and position the model all by himself.
Check out the video below where he recreated the shoot for D-Town TV.
We’ve got another great webinar planned in our onOne University Pro Webinar Series. This month, our good friend Vincent Versace will be in our Portland, Oregon office to present Bokeh: The Science of Focus and the Art of Blur. Here is a brief description of what you can expect.
I wanted to get back to everybody on the status of the Photoshop CS5 compatibility updates we’re working on. Earlier, we had said mid-May and that’s what we’ve been working very hard to get to. However, we’re not going to hit the mid-May goal that we had set for ourselves to release all of our products as CS5 compatible. Right now, at this moment, I’d say it would be closer to the end of May before these updates are available {1}. We’re getting closer, but we’re not quite there yet. Continue reading…
