Adobe recently released all new versions of their programs. And the designer community should be happy, at least those that use Macs, because the new version is Universal, which means it will work both on PowerPC G4 and Pentium processors (although I’m guessing that if you can afford to purchase Photoshop, you’ll already have a […]
