Kaltura Capture App Update
Kaltura’s latest app upgrade was released in September. Kaltura Capture Version 4.2.143 is a very minor update. It provides a full-screen whiteboard and fixes some bugs.
If Capture is installed on multiple devices (work desktop, work laptop, personal computer, etc.), each app needs to be updated.
Capture will update automatically when launched. It will take less than a minute to install, and when done, will provide a note on screen indicating the update has been completed.
If the app doesn’t update, download the latest version and install it yourself.

Photoshop Discontinues 3D Objects
Adobe Photoshop, the photo manipulation program, is removing 3D components in future updates. If you have Photoshop 3D files that you still want to work on, Adobe recommends using Photoshop version 22.2. The Creative Cloud Desktop version will be available for use for about two years.
Other Options
Adobe Dimension lets users create photorealistic 3D text and objects. 2D graphics from Photoshop and Illustrator can be added to 3D objects in Dimension. 3D objects made in Dimension can be “flattened” to 2D PSD files and imported into Photoshop or Illustrator.
Adobe has also built a line of powerful 3D programs called Substance 3D Stager, Substance 3D Painter, Substance 3D Sampler, and Substance 3D Designer. Create objects and place them in 3D settings for AR and VR use.
