I do not yet have an official release of PSE 8. However, one of the most exciting new features is official support for actions. Earlier versions have required hacks to get actions to work with PSE. No more hacks with PSE 8.

Early Beta of TLR Pro USM Panel
Submitted by mitch on Fri, 08/28/2009 - 20:20.
An early beta of the TLR Pro USM Panel is available for download. This is for Photoshop CS4 only.
What's exciting about this panel is that it offers a full-size preview for USM sharpening effects. No more reliance on the tiny thumbnail that comes with the USM dialog.
You can dock this panel, if you like. That way, it's available anytime you want it.
CS4 Panels with Previews
Submitted by mitch on Tue, 08/25/2009 - 00:19.
I spent some time tonight watching how CS4 panels that ship with Photoshop work. That gives me ideas about how to handle things in future panels.
I'll inquire at Adobe about who's programing the panels. I'd like to have a conversation with them and ask to borrow look-and-feel from the Adobe panels (to keep things consistent for users).
It is possible to create future panels that allow for previews. That will mean using scripts rather than actions.

Updates to TLR Photoshop CS4 Panels
Submitted by mitch on Sat, 08/22/2009 - 13:27.
Updates were posted today to all four of the new panels for Photoshop CS4.
These are minor updates.
Added .PNG files, which you can add to the Panels subfolder with the .SWF and .JSX files. These display when you collapse the panels to icons.
Changed the name of the tone mask panel from Tone Mask to ToneMask. A Mac OSX user reported that the embedded space could cause problems with closing the panel.
You can find the updates here:

Sharpening: Differences Between Actions & Scripts
Submitted by mitch on Thu, 08/20/2009 - 12:11.
A question came up during the brown bag session on Tuesday. Why are the sharpening results for the TLR actions and the TLR scripts different?
We compared the results from the actions and the scripts. We could see that the sharpening settngs were the same. The Blend If settings were the same, too. So ewre the Opacity settings for the layers. So, why do the actions and scripts provide different results?
TLR Professional Sharpening Actions Panels

Photoshop CS4 includes support for .SWF panels. What's a .SWF panel?! It's a programming feature that originated with Adobe Flash Professional and its scripting language, Action Script.
