Chromatic aberration is the more technical name for purple fringing which is not always purple. There are three ways you can avoid purple fringing: put an Ultraviolet (UV) filter on your camera lens, buy better camera (Prosumer grade), or remove it in Photoshop.

Photoshop CS3 Beta with Mac Intel Native Support?

Filed under: Adobe Photoshop, Apple Related, Graphic Design, Technology, Web Development — Buddy Toups @ 3:34 pm

Imagine that I just got my company to poke out money for CS2 upgrade and know it looks like CS3 is just around the corner.

Photoshop CS3 Beta

“AppleInsider adds to its previous report that they are currently expecting a Photoshop beta program to begin this Friday for current CS2 owners. Specifically, the program is said to be announced by Adobe CEO Bruce Chizen during the companys quarterly conference call, and will be limited to the standard edition of Photoshop rather than the entire Adobe Creative Suite.

ThinkSecret has also chimed in on the matter, saying similarly that the beta program would be limited to Photoshop. Also, while reports had said that Photoshop CS3 “simply flies” on Intel-based systems, ThinkSecret claims that much of that speed was attributed to OpenGL zooming, a feature that has been trimmed from the beta and may not even make the final release.”
