well I would never DREAM of posting my handles on other highly visual platforms (ccombsdc) or distributed microblogging services (combs at [censored service name].art) posting promotional links to my website for free is apparently okay though. chriscombs.net

Listening to an excellent talk by @ccombs at #supercon2022 about selling electronic art, did not expect the bonus and very good lesson about product reliability!

Fun times ahead for #Adobe designers. Today, if you open a PSD (even one that's 20 years old) with an obscure PANTONE colour, it will remove the colour and make it black. Pantone want US$21/month for access, and Solid Coated goes behind the paywall in early November.
