Photoshop CC Easter Egg

Posted by Admin

With many of the previous versions of Photoshop, there has been a hidden Easter egg splash screen, and the latest version (Photoshop CC 2015) is no exception.

Once Photoshop CC  2015 has loaded, hold down the Control key on your keyboard, go to the Help menu, and click on About Photoshop CC…

You will be presented with the hidden Splash screen, which for all those that can’t wait to see it, is a dedication to Thomas and John Knoll.

The End of Complete CardMaking

Posted by Admin

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.

With regards to digital craftng stay tuned to Rex Co Media for digital downloads including, sentiments, papers, and digi-stamps.

New Apps for Android

Posted by Admin

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.
