Shakeup Roundup - This Week in Photoshop

ThinkSecret gets a real scoop about why Aperture didn't live up to expectations....

And John Gruber at Daring Fireball says pretty much what I think-- Aperture is a great idea, poorly implemented, and should be fixed (rewrite the whole backend!), not killed.

Mamiya is selling its camera business (Mamiya-OP) to another company... and still no word as to when we'll see the ZD in the US. No announcement of fresh capital infusion into R&D. No indication from Mamiya-OP of continued product development (notwithstanding the pres of Mamiya America, who just went out and bought an ad agency?!, saying otherwise). No one can say what's really going on here...

Theories: a) they're selling it at a discount to get the debt off their backs b) they're being bought just for the talent or the patents that can be applied to consumer cameras, by all measures a much larger and hotter market.

Adobe reiterates 2007Q2 ship date for CS3.

An interesting take on the costs of wide-format inkjet printers...
