Adobe's Next Upgrades - Photoshop 8, Illustrator 11, InDesign 3.0
An analyst report made waves today with speculation that Adobe would release a new version of Photoshop "and other key applications" by the end of the year.
According to the report, November/December is the expected shipment time for Photoshop 8.
Early beta screenshots of Photoshop 8 appeared on Mac websites in early July. Those images were quickly removed at Adobe's request, however.
Early reports and screenshots of Adobe Illustrator 11 have also made the rounds.
One reader notes that McGraw-Hill is publishing a book entitled "How to Do Everything with Illustrator 11" which is due to be published on October 9, 2003 -- providing one possible timeframe for release.
In the meanwhile, upcoming PowerMac G5 owners should be satisfied with Photoshop 7 with a G5 Photoshop plug-in which is reported to be coming.
Microsoft-Watch reports on another major Adobe application -- InDesign. Indesign 3.0 is currently in beta testing and is expected to be released this fall. Microsoft-Watch details numerous improvements in the 3.0 version.
