There are few programs that enjoy the same household name recognition as Photoshop. To a guy of eighteen, it is the app of choice for putting hip-hop Rumsfeld on the back of a giant kitten. To a model, it means an eventual drunken revelation that you're living a lie (usually a really hot lie). But to design and photo professionals, it's the bread and butter app that's never closed, the spoiled child that happily munches away at a good portion of your RAM while getting a disk partition to call its own. It's treated well because it's not allowed to misbehave. Well our little Photoshop is now in its fifteenth year, and it's upgrade time again. I put on the Ars review hat (a sombrero made of duct tape and Christmas lights) and puts it through its paces along with the new Bridge application.
