DiapoSheet creates contact sheets of your images. It has a host of features for a new application (currently at v. 1.1) and does a very good job of providing the functions it intends to. It is relatively easy to manipulate, customize, and fine-tune to your needs. While a bit more pricey than one may wish, it is worth the money.

I've had a chance to talk to Adobe folks about the switch to the CC and why they dropped the perpetual license. For the most part, Adobe claims they were caught off guard by how people gravitated to the CC. While they didn't provide actual numbers, they did claim the vast majority of people who upgraded did not purchase CS6. Rather, they bought into the CC. Adobe started preparing CS7, but at a certain point they realized that the cost of preparing two versions of the same software—one that would be updated and one that would not—was going to not be a wise use of their resources. Ergo, drop the less popular option.

If you want a perpetual license for the Adobe Suite, go out and buy CS6. Yes it's a year old, but a year from now you will still have the same suite, no more payments, it will always be on your desktop. Today at Adobe MAX, Adobe announced that the Perpetual license, that which you buy and you are done, will no longer be sold. Now, if you want the latest from Adobe, you rent it. This is a mixed bag, truly.

Imagine the power of Photoshop. Now imagine the power of Photoshop on your phone. Photoshop Touch has been on the iPad for some time, and that's all well and good if you're taking images on your iPad and/or you don't mind transferring images from your iPhone to the iPad, but the reality is that we are probably more likely to be taking images on the iPhone itself. If we need to do something to that image now before we send it out to all of our friends, we need to fix it on our iPhone. Well, now we can. With some exceptions with the profoundly bad Help for Photoshop Touch, Photoshop Touch works mostly amazingly well.

Acrobat XI has been released by Adobe, adding new capabilities and removing some strong features. Most significantly for Windows users, LiveCycle Designer has been completely dropped (it's still available but as a separate product) along with Acrobat Suites (unrelated to the Creative Suites). For everyone, there's been the removal of self-contained multimedia capabilities within Acrobat. Rather, Acrobat has shifted gears somewhat to focus on its core function: creating PDFs from more sources. It also adds better capabilities to export from Acrobat into Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. In addition, it is much easier to edit PDFs and to work with images within PDFs. And finally, after watching the Creative Suites provide workspaces for over 10 years, we now have workspaces within Acrobat, but alas, the interface...

Extensis released this new version of its font management program, Suitcase Fusion, some time ago, but I chose to hold off on releasing my review until all aspects of the application were up and running. Sadly for Extensis, a big part of this wait was for Adobe to make some bug repairs to Photoshop so that it, Illustrator and InDesign could take advantage of an interesting new feature in Suitcase 4. If you do a lot of font experimentation during the creative stage of your design work, the wait was worth it (but with caveats, as you will read).
