CC

Adobe CC, it will be here amongst us very soon. I watched the Adobe Max keynote speech, it all looks, dare I say, exciting.....
Now I'm already signed up, got the old Adobe ID and am just running things on this old steam powered Dell, if you are signed up you can run Photoshop on 2 machines, they check your IP address and you can delete one machine and load onto a new computer if you upgrade. If you sign up you'll also get a Behance website and 20gb of cloud space and access to Adobe Exchange and all the Adobe creative cloud forums and probably loads more... ACR 8 seems to be loaded with all the tools that Lightroom 5 is getting and Adobe Raw now gets popped into Photoshops filter menu as well, which is very nice although , some of you may go a bit shakey at this point...work with Smart Objects... I use Smart Objects for all my filter work...it's like putting your image file into a graphene envelope..you can smash , stretch, faff, twiddle, scribble and generally do all kinds of naughtiness to the envelope whilst inside your image file inside remains pristine, unsampled and in the state in which you stuck it into the envelope.....yes... so start thinking about Smart Objects...I'm thinking that this is one way of getting the most out of Photoshop CC So it all looks , and forgive me for typing this, ....awesome.... (I feel dirty now)   but check out Adobe TV and spend some time on the keynote speech, Photoshop is the first product up but worth spending time seeing how 3D and Video in CC work....
Some new images in...er...New Images bit more cameraphone work but produced using a lot of free stuff from Adobe Exchange which Adobe ID members have access to, I'm not here to sell it to you but if you are serious about your images then subscription seems to be the way it's all going forward...here's one from the new images page...

Lowry..Nokia N08 mobile and a couple of free textures from Adobe Exchange.
