That was the first time I ever touched a graphic design program (aside from maybe "Paint")...
A professional graphic design program - Photoshop. At that time, it was only "Photoshop 7"... Throughout the years in the Poly I've use many many programs ranging from design to web to programming...
Last few months, I've revisited quite a number of those Multimedia Program sites just to check things out, and so many things have changed.
Photoshop has grown from 7 to CS to CS2 and finally now CS3 early this year after taking over Macromedia. Now all their product lines naming are standardized with "CS3".
Flash and Dreamweaver went from MX to MX2004 to 8 and finally, the developers got sick of it and sold out to Adobe. Haha, joined under the CS3 line. Unfortunately, I think the latest CS3 is just an attempt to give the products a similar name, so there isn't any significant improvement (as compared to the previous jumps in versions).
3DMax was only at 5 when I first enrolled in the Poly. The last time I check, it was already "3d Max 8". Now I check again, they're already selling "3d Max 2008". I guess Autodesk figured out that if they keep increasing the number it would probably reach "3D Max 13" by now, which sounds darn awful. So they decide to start using the year for simplicity.
The advantage of using the year of course is you'll never run of "newer versions". But the bad thing is you can't release 2 versions in 1 year...
A lot of other products like JBuilder also underwent the same fate. Keep on releasing new versions. Now I also don't know where the heck they are liao.
Macromedia Director is dead I think... thank god. That piece of thrash. (and that module)
Anyway... it's been a long long time since I touched any of those programs. (except Flash)
So when I finally completed my download of the evaluation copy of Adobe Photoshop today...
Hand a bit itchy... so I start up the program and play around a while (first time I use a design program on my Widescreen! Wee...)
Er... this pic...
Must explain a bit.
Was surfing Ken's blog when I come across his post and saw this photo. And his comment wrote there look like Huang Qiu Sheng...
What does everyone think?
