Photoshop 8 must be close!

[Christine Krof Shock]

Photoshop 8 must be very close to release...How do I know--I saw Photoshop 7 Classroom in a Book on sale at Sam's Club for $24.95...

[YrbkMgr]

Ha! That'd be one indicator... I'm betting 45 days.

[Bob Levine]

The way to really tell is when Chis Cox shows up a lot. :)

Usually means that he's done his job and the software is ready to go.

> You noticed that too, eh?

All the U2U veterans know about that one. :)

Other signs are:

1. Adobe has been selling Photoshop 7 at a discount (offer ends today).

2. The first notice of a Photoshop 8 book has appeared. It's on the
Amazon U.K. website.

Yeah Chris, you started re-appearing about five weeks ago after a lenghty hiatus.

[Tina Hayes]

Ooooooooooo....my birthday is September 10th, boy would that make a good present! :D (Even if I have to wait)

[Lawrence Hudetz]

Mine is 9-17.

How 'bout it Adobe? Long time since I bought myself a birthday present.

PS: Am I gonna hafta switch from W2K to XP to get PS8 to run properly?

On 9-4 (my birthday), on my way in for jury duty, I'd like to stop at Fry's for a copy of Illustrator 11, so I can read the manual, while waiting for judges and lawyers.

My Birthday was in June - you're late.

[ID. Awe]

9/23, still have a chance!

[Colin Walls]

Mine's 4/3 - I'm going to wait for 8.0.1

Christine,

All I see is a bunch of second stringers here. I've had PS 9.0.1(!) running on my machine for two months now. <lol>

The truth is, everyone here is just guessing. If anyone knows the actual answer prior to the official Adobe announcement, he's either best-guessing or in serious violation of an NDA (non-disclosure agreement).

Why is everyone so eager to get it a microsecond after it is released?

I'm still on DOS 3.1! You know, with a tiny monochrome screen with 25 rows of
"bad command or file name" burned into the phosphor.

Just kidding.

Chris Cox;

Noting you work for adobe, and taking account this refusal to disclose info on unrealsed stuff ............ Could 'You' tell us the bare minimum for a usable Photoshop 8 ?. Note Photoshop 7 stated it required P-III. But it ran on a AND k6-2, a PENTIUM-2 Class processor.. one of a subset of the instruction set of the Pentium-3. (I programmed in assembly langauge... so I know why a program would/would not require a specific processor (or better)).

Chris can't even tell you that PS 8 exists, until Adobe announces it. So how could he tell you what hardware it requires.

Patience, patience, everyone.

[YrbkMgr]

Good one Colin.

I Can type OK, spelling and structered sentances are the problem i believe you are having.

I Can even spell and structure sentances to a level that would not indeicate a problem to you if I wanted to. The reason why it does not happen venery time is because sometimes I have a set amount of time to do something including this post and priorites take place, and therfore somtings end up degraded due to time limits etc...

I do however manage to type 'straight' now and again to ensure I am in shape.

It somethign I have to live with......... Not too bad for me....

Sorry H_D - I was just pulling your chain. :-)
