Configurator 3 is coming for CS6

I’m pleased to say that Adobe Configurator, the easy, drag-and-drop tool for creating panels for Photoshop and InDesign, is being revved for CS6 & is due to arrive when CS6 ships for real (i.e. not as a beta).  Among the new features in development:

• Supports Photoshop CS5/5.1 and CS6
• Supports InDesign CS5/5.5 and CS6
• Supports the new dynamic color theme switching (dark backgrounds) in Photoshop CS6
• Lets you migrate existing Configurator 2 panels to create both CS5- & CS6-compatible panels
• Launches much more quickly than Configurator 2
• Renews a focus on tutorials, offering easy leveraging of exiting HTML, video and audio content–great for developers, trainers and general users

The new version of Configurator is required for converting Configurator-made panels for CS4 and CS5 to run in CS6. If you need access to it now, please visit the Configurator forum & drop a note to Jonathan Ferman & team.
