Adobe believes that combining these technologies with a unified set of software development tools and programming interfaces (“APIs”) — creating what Adobe terms its “Engagement Platform” — will uniquely position the company to deliver a new generation of software development tools.

The bride was beautiful, once upon a time…
Now her smile is barely visible behind streaks of mud; her dress is tattered, her white bridal bouquet all but faded away. She doesn’t have a name, at least not one that has been made public, but somewhere she’s waiting for her wedding photo, perhaps the only memory not destroyed by Hurricane Katrina.
“It breaks my heart,” said Jeanne Anderton. “There have to be millions, if not billions, of these kinds of images just out there waiting to be taken care of.”

Well, contrary to some assertions on the net, I’ve not gone over to the “dark side” after attending the Microsoft Pro Photo Summit, but I have been busy. Can’t tell you about what yet…but I might venture that if you are a Windows user, you might want to stop back to PhotoshopNews a bit later in the day, oh, say 9:00PM Pacific time.

:~)
P.S. And yes, I’m behind on my Photo Summit report (I shot a ton of shots) and the Photoshop Soup2Nuts Conference (I shot a ton of shots) and the Montréal and Toronto Print Academy reports (I shot a ton of shots) as well as my visit to Michael Reichmann’s country “cottage” (I shot a ton of shots there too). I’ll catch up sooner or later…
