The world could learn something from Apple. I've just installed Photoshop CS2 (don't get me started on their new naming "conventions"). Why doesn't the installer suggest and allow importing tool presets and Actions from the previous version?
Worse than that, I've tried for half an hour doing it manually by copying the old files with the settings. No go. How idiotic is that? You'd think that by version 9 of a major app, they would have learned to make an (expensive) paid upgrade easy for their customers.
Pro Photoshop users are well-paid people, often. If 100,000 people each waste half an hour fiddling with this unnecessary BS, you figure out how much money that wastes. Not to mention ulcer medication. C'mon Adobe, wake up.

Eolake,
As some wise person once said :
E-mail them. (What's to lose?)
But this concept of a monolithic "app" isn't a very clever idea to begin with (and, BTW, Apple is its prime proponent!). What you are seeing is just one of the repercussions of a poorly designed architecture.
We want an object oriented image manipulation system. In fact, the historical baggage in Photoshop is by now so big that I wouldn't be surprised if a better designed contender would soon appear in the market.
Speaking of Photoshop, there are even sillier mistakes in there, such as scriptable commands (as used when building "actions") having different names in localised versions!
hi eolake,
have you ever thought about doing a piece on lonliness or divorce?
just a thought.
have a great day.
I don't know much about those areas.
As far as handling the emotional aspects, though, I recommend EFT. emofree.com
Anonymous, the thing is loneliness and divorce can mean very different things depending on the situation. They can represent the lowest point in one's life or a blessing and a fantastic opportunity, or anything in between.
Also, divorce is both a legal concept and a social agreement. (BTW, if you are a male living in the U.S, my recommendation is to never marry. For legal reasons alone.)
Loneliness, on the other hand, can always be seen as an opportunity. Whatever the cause, it can be reframed into a positive thing. Think of it as being socially "debt free". It's the perfect starting point -- no limits, no baggage, total freedom.
Looks like we're having this discussion after all. ;-)
Not at all. ;-)
