What about iPicture?

I remember hearing a rumor a long time ago on ThinkSecret that Apple was developing iPicture, a competitor for Photoshop Elements. What ever happened to that? Will Apple attack the photo editing market any time soon? They've already done the movie and music markets...

I have been wondering about this also. I haven't seen anything substantive mentioned anywhere in months. Maybe Adobe wasn't too thrilled with the idea and talked Apple out of it... <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" />

i seriously doubt Apple would risk pissing off Adobe. If Apple is doing an image editing program it will be more along the lines of GraphicConverter- a smaller less feature laden app.

Hey buddy, this is the "future hardware" section. I think this is a good topic but try and post in the appropriate section.

iPhoto probably won't see the light of day until Photoshop ships in a Native OS X version. If Adobe drags its feet developing or shipping Photoshop that would definitely slow the adoption rate for OS X, definitely not a plus for Apple (I have often wondered why Apple never bought Adobe given the natural overlap of their target markets).

One possibility that could rearrange that thinking would be if iPhoto was a software "gateway" to a new Apple iDevice much like iTunes serves as the gateway between your Mac and your iPod. Apple wants to be in the gadget business and if they did have an "iCamera" it would go stale very quickly if they delayed the launch of the device (hence the accompanying software) to humor Adobe.

i heard the other day that when they release the new imac, they will release an ipic, a new program to go with the iprograms. I heard it was mainly confirmed <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" />
