The End of Complete CardMaking

Complete Cardmaking  was a magazine dedicated to digital card crafting. The latest issue was due out today (18th June 2015).

However  from information from Practical Publishing International, the makers of the magazine, have stated that a difficult decision has been made to close Complete Cardmaking magazine due to financial reasons.

The last issue of Complete Cardmaking magazine is issue 56.

This is a sad post as Complete Cardmaking was an excellent magazine for the digital crafting community.

New Apps for Android

With the sad news that Photoshop Touch will no longer to supported, and in fact it has now been taken down from both the android and iTune stores. This has left a bit of a gap for Photoshop Touch users.

On looking at various forum boards the general trend is that most people still are shock and disappointed with this decision.

However, as a bit of good news Adobe has released ahead of schedule 4 apps, although not new, for Android for the first time.

Adobe Photoshop Mix, Adobe Color, Adobe Shape CC and Adobe Brush are now available in the Google Play store for Android.

Previously these apps were only available for iPad users.

There is however a bad point to this though. I believe that due to the rush of the release of these apps to Android, a proper bug testing has not been done.

From comments on the Google Play Store for these apps the majority state crashes, apps not working and general bugs.

Also at time of writing this, only Adobe Color is available for tablets, why I have no idea.

Hopefully bug fixes and release on tablets will be very soon.

A full look at all the (new) apps will appear on Rex Co Media, so keep tuned in.
