The Healing Power of Photoshop
Creative professionals are bound to be pleased with Adobe’s recent announcement of Photoshop 7, sporting enhancements for Windows XP and Mac OS X. The software company will ship the image manipulation tool sometime in April.
Among the new features is something called a Healing Brush to “effortlessly remove artifacts such as dust, scratches, blemishes, and wrinkles,” as well as a File Browser to “visually browse and retrieve images.”
I remember the latter from a much cheaper program called Graphic Converter, a Mac OS shareware program that has been offering similar features to Photoshop for many years. Come to think of it, little old Lemke Software has not only beaten Adobe in price by about $400, but they’ve cut them to the chase with the carbonization (aka Mac OS X readiness) of their program by about a year.
Hmmm, better late than never, Adobe. We all love ya, big guy, but what gives with taking so long?
