RSS feedsHot on the heels of its InDesign page layout software, Adobe has announced an update of its Photoshop image-editing software. It also previewed ActiveShare, a software and Web-based solution that allows users to import and share digital images.
Adobe hopes Photoshop 5.5 (see Close-up next month) will allow the software to take the lead in image editing for Web publishing. To this end its ImageReady 2.0 Web design tool is bundled as standard. It ships in August for both Mac and PC and is priced at $647, or $199 for an upgrade from Photoshop 5 or ImageReady 1.0. UK pricing is yet to be set.
ActiveShare is a mix of software and a Web site at www.activeshare.com.
The software allows you to do one-click imports of digital images and provides basic image-editing tools. The Web site will be an information resource on digital imaging and a forum for images to be shared online.
ActiveShare is due for launch in October.

Photoshop has long been the big daddy of image editing packages, but if you want the power of the features, without having to pay the price of a full professional package, Photoshop LE could be right up your street. It gives you almost all the features of Photoshop at a fraction of the price. 25 Jan 2000
