This is the best news I’ve heard in a couple of years on the DAM (Digital Asset Management) front.

Check out the news via PhaseOne’s website.

Also, here is an interview from PhaseOne’s CEO, Henrik Håkonsson

Sorry about the size, I couldn’t make it any smaller and Google offloaded the map to Rhizalabs.com so here it goes.

• Apple – Support – Discussions – 10.5.3 Photoshop CS 3 issues …

• Adobe Forums – CS3 and Leopard

• http://www.adobe.com/support/products/pdfs/leopardsupport.pdf

• Tim Cole’s InDesign BackChannel: Leopard Alert: 10.5.3 contains first Nav Services fix

• Adobe Forums – Leopard 10.5.3 is out

• Adobe Forums – InDesign CS3 Crash: How to Avoid

• Adobe Creative Suite 3 products crash when you save, open, or place a file, after installing the Version Cue CS3 3.1.0 update (Mac OS X v10.4.x – 10.5)

• Adobe Forums – CS2 and Leopard. Place image crashes program

• Adobe Forums – InDesign CS3 & OSX Leopard – cannot type into palettes

I’d hold off on Mac OS 10.5.3 Leopard if you need to use your computer as a production machine. I have had pretty good luck with 10.5.2 and CS3 but there are still some “issues”. (See above)

It appears as though there are some big minds working on things behind the scenes but “man o man” I wish Adobe and Apple would at least adopt an open-source bug-fix timeline scenario. This would help mission critical workflows from being sabotaged. Both Apple and Adobe have put out documents saying they are compliant with each other but alas there are show stopping issues that still need to be ironed out. As always, finger pointing from Adobe and Apple. Who on our end can tell (or care) who is at fault. Just get it done, hit some deadlines and make the grade. You are embarrassing yourselves and us.

I finally added content to my photo, design and illustration pages. I am still working on the format and they need home and contact links etc. Let me know your thoughts. I will be adding more images as I find them in my archives.

Now to work on my bio and consulting pages. Wish me luck.

A deep bow to Dean Motter for his tremendous talent and keen eye. Man I love the various design/illustrative vibes he explores with Mr. X.

This fan-site has some great images. Check out how many different takes Motter does on the cover’s design. I have a thing for the Red, Black, White combo.
