This parody video imagines what would happen if Adobe introduced some of the tackiest elements of digital design ever to Photoshop and the rest of its design products. It's funny because humans have terrible taste. Read More >>

The other day we learned that Adobe is abandoning Creative Suite for the cloud. But at the tail end of its announcement, the company also revealed a surprising little hardware project that shows how it plans to augment Creative Cloud: a pressure-sensitive iPad stylus called Project Mighty and its ruler cousin, Napoleon.

Today, Adobe announced the latest round of updates to its ubiquitous software suite, with its Creative Cloud subscription service taking centre-stage. Not only is the old Creative Suite moniker being dropped completely, but a whole slew of cloud-dependent features were introduced. While the updates will be a boon to a huge number of Adobe customers, it's going to annoy the hell out of one core Adobe demo: the pirates. Read More >>

At Adobe’s annual MAX conference today, the company announced a major overhaul of the ten-year-old Creative Suite, which will now be known as Creative Cloud. From now on, you won’t buy CS6 or CS7—you’ll buy a £46 per month subscription to CC (happily, the first year will only cost £27 for anyone with a CS3 or later serial number). Read More >>
Everyone who is not a good photographer is a bad photographer—a condition that's only made worse because we insist on documenting our lives with abysmal smartphone cameras. And of all of the terrible things that ruin photos blur from slow shutter speeds is amongst the most common. Photoshop to the rescue. Read More >>
Adobe CTO Kevin Lynch — that's the guy in charge of technology at a very powerful and important technology company — is jumping ship, reportedly for Apple. Which is odd, because he's said a lot of mean, frustrated things about Apple! Read More >>

Adobe may be trying its best to skirt the issue of crazy high prices in Australia, but it's going to be hard as long as news outlets like News.com.au keep pointing out that it is actually cheaper to fly to the US and pick up a copy of Adobe CS6 than it is to stay in Australia and buy it there.

Adobe is currently receiving flack for selling software at inflated prices in Australia, where Creative Suite costs around £1,000 more than in the UK. In this interview, Adobe's CEO Shantanu Narayen completely refuses to explain why. Politicians could learn something from this guy; he's more slippery than a fish coated in Crisco.

Photography is getting easier thanks to cameras that are able to better evaluate and automatically choose the best settings for a given scene. But photo editing, that's still a bit of a mystery to most amateur photographers. So Adobe—the makers of Photoshop—are working with the University of Michigan to develop an extremely intelligent photo editing app that simply does what you tell it to do. Read More >>

Adobe's a nasty mean bully. It took our hopes of free Photoshop and violently sucker-punched them in the face. I felt picked on, and I wanted to go crying to Mammy. But I didn't. I kept my resolve, and grew from the ashes to be a bigger and better person. You can too. We don't need that meanie Adobe and its so-called 'software'. There's lots of perfectly good alternatives to Photoshop out there, and you know what? Their makers love us. I love them too. Read More >>
If you were hooked up to your computer yesterday, you might've noticed that Adobe apparently released Creative Suite 2 to the public for free. I say apparently, because it turns out that although Adobe stuck the install files and serial numbers on the internet for anyone with an Adobe account to see and download, it apparently didn't want to have a big software give-away -- even though it would've actually been a really good idea.
