Resources for Primatte 2.0.

We've released a new version of Primatte. But that doesn't mean we've forgotten about our original creation! This page lists all of the material that we created specifically to support Primatte 2.0.

The Primatte 2.0 manual discusses Primatte 2.0's tools, functions and concepts. You can download most of the images used from our Tutorials page.

Product specs for 2.0.

Primatte 2.0 works with Photoshop 5.5 - CS2 on Mac. Primatte 2.0 also works in Photoshop CS3 on Windows only. Primatte 2.0 works in Photoshop Elements 2.0 - 5.0.

We do NOT plan to update Primatte 2.0 to run natively on Intel Macs. We have released a new version of Primatte, version 3.0, that runs natively on Intel Macs and Photoshop CS3 Mac.

Unfortunately, the development time is too high and costly for us to code backwards compatibility for Primatte 2.0. We were too far into development of Primatte 3.0 when the Intel Mac changes were announced by Apple and Adobe. We apologize for any difficulty this may cause. Primatte 3.0 is available at half-price for ownders of Primatte 2.0.
