Behind the scenes of Adobe TV recordings

Posted by on Aug 27, 2008 in Uncategorized | 3 comments

The Adobe TV crew is currently in Europe to record a bunch of sessions for Adobe TV presented by European Adobeans. We started today in Amsterdam and I thought I would give you a sneak peak behind the scenes of Adobe TV. The crew completely transformed a hotel room in to a high quality green screen studio. I don’t have an exact date for when these segments will be published but it’s obvious I’ll blog about my first appearance on Adobe TV ;-)

Today we announced the latest addition to the Photoshop.com familiy, Photoshop.com for mobile. This Flash based mobile application allows you to easily upload, view and share photos using your existing Photoshop.com account.

The beta will run on a number of Windows Mobile devices with more to come later this year.

I’ve always been a great supporter for Flash on mobile devices, so this news is pretty exciting and only points to more great things to come.
