Photoshop for OS X

Killer App!

Perfect...

Now I can combine cron jobs to download pr0n and clean them up on photoshop while I sleep in the wee hours of the morning.

Man, I tickle at the thought of starting Photoshop from the command line. =)

Why stop there. You could write a PHP script that calls an AppleScript that colour-corrects your CMYK pr0n using Photoshop!

Re:Is this really news?

[Penrod Pooch]

Because OSX is like a really, really cool toy, like. And 'round here we really, really, like cool toys. It is much more important than freedom because you can't use freedom as a really, really cool toy.

Therefore we choose to ignore the proprietary nature of OSX and Photoshop, we choose to ignore that Apple threatend to sue people who make themes that looked like OSX and we choose to ignore that Adobe invoked the DMCA to have Dimitry Sklyarov arrested because apple and adobe makes really, really cool toys. And nothing is more important to us slashdot-dwellers than really, really cool toys.

Contention.

I'm constantly told that Macs are best for contention creation

Meaning that mentioning Macs is the best way to start a flame war?

Typo, or clever pun? You be the judge.

Here we go again. With this new release the Mac people are going to be once again touting the same old obscure algorithm in Photoshop that is custom tuned for the bizzare custom coprocessing unit in their 12MHz processors. They will try to extrapolate that to the general case to prove that Macs are always faster than PCs.

PC users know better though. The truth is that the only valid metric of computer performance is Quake III frames per second. :-)

photoshop??

[jaavaaguru]

But they have GIMP, what more could they need? ;-)
