I'll be getting to those right away. By the way, I love your tweets.

That's all there is to it?

I don't know about Indesign but is that really all for Photoshop, 6 bugs? In these 3-4 months, they've spotted only 6 bugs?? I could supply Adobe with at least a dozen more, much more frustrating than these.

I was really expecting so much more, considering they dragged their feet so long before releasing this update. Photoshop CS4 is such buggy software, I regret upgrading from CS3.

Haven't noticed any myself

Maybe I'm just lucky, but I haven't noticed any of the listed bugs, nor any others. Things I don't like, sure. Things that don't exactly work the way I think they probably should, absolutely. But flat out bugs in the software, nope.

Doesn't mean they aren't there though.... ;-)
