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 {}.
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. {}
- 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

20 years can go by fast. Doesn’t seem that long ago really, but maybe that is just an indicator that I’m getting old(er). I started playing with Photoshop back in 1995, but it was first developed in 1987 and then later sold to and then released as version 1.0 for the Mac by Adobe in 1990 [source]. But let’s get back to the present. In celebration of this landmark anniversary, Adobe and NAPP have a special event planned and from what I hear, you’re not going to want to miss it.

I’m a few days late in getting to my Photoshop User TV, but fortunately, once they go up, they never come down. Anyway, if you haven’t seen Episode 198 of Photoshop User TV, you should check it out.
Matt Kloskowski goes over how to use the sharpening controls in Adobe Camera Raw and does a good job of explaining what each slider does and how it affects your image. Scott Kelby gives a nice demo on improving your waterfall shots. And last but not least, they cover several different plug-ins that they use including Genuine Fractals and PhotoFrame 4. They even covered the watermarking plug-in from Digimarc which I thought was cool because a friend of mine works there and they (Digimarc) have their offices just a few minutes down the road from us here at onOne.
Additional plug-ins covered included a couple from Nik Software and Topaz Labs. They also talked briefly about the new MpixPro service which I just signed up for and will be sharing my experiences with you all in a future post.

Recently, Adobe launched a new service on their web site called the Adobe® Photoshop® Marketplace. According to Adobe, the Photoshop Marketplace presents a very “comprehensive collection of Photoshop related products, services, and communities that are designed to enhance the inherent power of Photoshop. Photoshop Marketplace is an open community that benefits from the efforts of Adobe enthusiasts around the world.”
Our plug-ins all about helping you enhance the inherent power of Photoshop. So, it only makes sense that you can find all of the onOne products in the Photoshop Marketplace. If you’re new to onOne products, you can go up there and read what others are saying or if you are already an owner of an onOne product, I would appreciate your time to head over to the Photoshop Marketplace and rate our plug-ins (hint: the more stars the better!)

I recently started using Twitter and one of the people I’m “following” is Zack Arias (twitter, site). Earlier today he sent out a tweet with a link to some wedding photos taken by Climie+Co. Wow. They are amazing. Definitely worth a look.
