Software : Adobe launches new features on Creative Cloud

Adobe launches new features on Creative Cloud Posted: Adobe has added a line of new collaboration and publishing features to its Creative Cloud service, in an update that takes in major desktop applications including Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. The line was first announced in May, when Adobe said it would concentrate new developments on Creative Cloud, at the expense of its Creative Suite 6, providing an incentive for customers to take the cloud service rather than the installed software. The strategy has prompted complaints from some customers but Adobe is apparently remaining committed to the approach. Among the changes are: New features for sharpening images and designer workflow changes for Photoshop. More flexibility for the Touch Type tool in Illustrator to move, scale and rotate text characters. Integration of Illustrator with Behance, Adobe's online showcase for visual portfolios. New video editing features in Adober Premier Pro CC. Adobe is also promising further developments in its Edge Animate tools. "In addition to the traditional areas of innovation these apps are now connected to the powerful publishing and community features integral to the Creative Cloud experience," said David Wadhwani, Senior VP and General Manager, Digital Media, Adobe.

blip: Oxford English Dictionary learns what 'tweet' means Posted: Did you think that "tweet" was the sound a bird makes? How quaint. Everyone, including the Oxford English Dictionary, knows that "tweet" is what you do on Twitter. It will be added in the June 2013 edition of the dictionary, presumably in both noun ("a tweet") and verb ("to tweet") forms. In a blog post that deals primarily with exploring the many thousands of definitions of the word "head," OED Chief Editor John Simpson writes that the inclusion of the word tweet "breaks at least one OED rule, namely that a new word needs to be current for ten years before consideration for inclusion. But it seems to be catching on." More blips! If you've got the latest version of the Oxford English Dictionary you can tweet about TechRadar's other irresistible blips!
