Photoshop 8 Rumor Roundup

Update: It's official. The upcoming release of Adobe Photoshop CS (aka Photoshop 8) was announced on September 29, 2003. Get the Details Here or go right to the sneak previews.

Original post: Photoshop 8 is coming soon. But did you know that it might not even be called Photoshop 8? It looks like Adobe is going with the trend of tacking an acronym to the title. The upcoming Photoshop version is reportedly getting the title of Photoshop CS, for Creative Suite. Although the official announcement is likely another couple of weeks away, I've put together this roundup of links to Photoshop rumors. I'll continue updating it right up until we start getting solid details on the new version of Photoshop, whatever it ends up being called.
