Seeing this migration (which entails more nuking of work I’d done, hopefully making room for future growth) makes me take comfort in what Steve Jobs said 20 years ago:

Or as Jeff Bezos might put it, “Be stubborn on the vision & flexible on the details.”

This is fabulous. Your piece makes clear that last Wednesday, all of us involved with Adobe took a major jump. People who believe that old technology, old devices, old software, etc., will continue to serve them are living in a dream world. Personally, I think that Adobe has done us photographers a great service. We can either dig our heels in and fight it all the way, or we can get on board and do whatever work is necessary to take advantage of the phenomenal gifts at our disposal. (I say this as an amateur photographer who is almost 79 yrs. old.)
Hi John,
Thanks for the post. There are a lot of HTML panel resources here: http://bit.ly/SYYQpN and samples here: http://bit.ly/1jy0bgs
We have kind of moved house and now live on GitHub.
Speaking of HTML panels, I just published a couple to help with using the Generator feature of Photoshop. Generator Configuration lets you easily change the options for the Generator Assets plugin. Rename Layer Suffix gives you a way to easily change the suffix and output settings for an arbitrary set of selected layers.
John – As Steve explains, your work isn’t being nuked. It will always be a foundational layer that is helping build the mountain little by little.
John,
Thanks for assembling these resources. Kudos to Adobe leadership for making the hard decisions to embrace newer technologies that are advancing the platform more quickly. In the long run, it will help all of us.
We’ve rebuilt our Flash-based extension TimeTracker, the only automatic timesheet solution for the Adobe Creative Cloud. We are thrilled with the performance and feedback from users. For more information, visit the Adobe Add-ons site: https://creative.adobe.com/addons/products/2596
It is a major change, but things need to change or die. I totally agree with Jan: you’ve set the stage for a lot of great features in the Adobe products and those are the spring board for great new features. You’ve done a lot for millions of people, and personally, you’ve helped me get involved in helping shape Adobe’s future. Thanks!
I’m all for HTML panels. However, most of the panel developers was caught by surprise when Adobe ditched Flash panels. The communication things like this could be better in the future.
