Canon fans may soon rejoice. It looks like the upgrade of the very popular Canon 30D, the Canon 40D that we’ve been waiting for is near at hand. According to a post on PhotographyBlog.com, The Camera & Imaging Products Association (CIPA) has listed the the Canon 40D on it’s PictBridge-certified product list page. Now bear in mind that this is a rumor, but it stands to reason that the 40D will grace our camera bags eventually, and why not sooner rather than later.

So what are you waiting for? Start spreading the rumor, and share the joy. Just remember that there has been no official announcement yet. If your a Nikon fan you may weep now, but stay tune and we’ll keep you up to date on the latest happenings.

Summary from Adobe:

Critical vulnerabilities have been identified in Photoshop CS2 and CS3 that could allow an attacker who successfully exploits these potential vulnerabilities to take control of the affected system. A malicious BMP, DIB, RLE, or PNG must be opened in Photoshop by the user for an attacker to exploit these potential vulnerabilities. Users are recommended to update their installations with the patches provided below, and Adobe encourages all customers to be cautious before opening any unknown file, regardless of which application they may be using.

Get the updates here!

BEFORE YOU UPDATE:

Make sure you do a full back up of your system and  of course your photos. Updating usually doesn’t bother anything but I’ve known people who have lost EVERYTHING from updates and didn’t have a back up.

 

Until Next Time,

With so many application in the Adobe Creative Suite, and since we wanted to cover all of them I’ve put together a special episode entirely on CS3. If you don’t like the shows that get down to details on software than you may want to skip this one. If however your eager mind wants to know more about Creative Suite Design, and Web editions then this is the place to be. You’ll also find that the Photoshop review (which is the first one) is the most in depth, so if your just a PS user you can simply listen to that part. Also post you comments about your thoughts on the new Creative Suite Products, and let Adobe hear what you have to say.

Knowing that it can be a hassle to muddle through all the new choices in the Creative suite I’ve outlined the primary programs that each includes. All suites include the new Adobe Bridge. Programs in todays review are all from either the Web, or Design editions of CS3, and include Photoshop, Photoshop Extended, In Design, Illustrator, Acrobat Professional, Dreamweaver, Flash Professional, Fireworks, and Contribute. All the applications can also
