Photoshop 5.0 rumors overheard:
- "the most significant upgrade ever"
- "more significant than 3.0 when layers were first introduced."
- "History Palette (multi undos on steroids) will have a huge creative impact far beyond just going back because of a mistake. . .you can use multiple states to blend effects in a way never before possible."
- The advancement of the 16bit tool set and the ability to do mode changes (RGB>CMYK) in 16bit will allow far more accurate conversions."
- "ICC implementation (cross platform mind you. . .) both Macs & Windows machines can take advantage of the strengths of ICC color management."
- "improved color indexing"
- "Color Samplers (the ability to add color measurement points in your image)
- "Measure Tool (the ability to measure distance and angles of objects)
- "Movable centerpoint in Free Transform (ever wish you could rotate around something other than the center. . .like a corner)
- "Introducing Action Plugins that allow custom action programing in C++ to go WAY beyond normal actions. . ."
- New "Action Plugin" called "Contact Sheet" -- set a source folder and have Photoshop open each file, scale it to fit in a row/column you specify and align all the images into single or multiple documents" ... just a demo
- "Action Plugin for batch printing of multiple files to a printer while sizing each and even creating an array of images. . .say a 5x7 and 10 wallet size prints."
