That Photoshop deblur sneak was pretty cool, right? Well, there's more! Here are sneaks of features coming soon to Dreamweaver, Flash, and Edge Reflow. All this, and a whole lot more at Adobe MAX next month. And it's not too late to register!

When MAX Sneaks Come Alive

Wed, 17 Apr 2013 11:00:00 -0400

One of the highlights of Adobe MAX has to be Sneaks where we demonstrate concepts, works-in-progress, and stuff that we just think is cool. Some of these sneaks actually become product features (remember MAX 2006 in Las Vegas when we first demonstrated what eventually became known as "Content-Aware Fill"?), but others (for better or for worse) don't. MAX 2011 sneaks were as impressive as ever, and the sneak that garnered the most attention was a magical ability to deblur pictures ruined by camera shake. Photoshop Senior Product Manager Zorana Gee has just posted this video showing that sneak as a Photoshop feature (along with a not-so-cryptic "see more exciting developments on May 6 at Adobe MAX" message).
