How do I become a Beta Tester for Adobe Software?
I love Adobe products and want to help make them better. How do I become a pre-release tester of Photoshop, Lightroom, Elements, Photoshop.com or any of the other products?

We generally look for customers who are active in the community and are passionate about our tools. If you're highly active on this site, our user to user forums, and other product forums, that's a good sign to us of your level of interest is high. There are several folks who participate on this as well as our prerelease.

hi, well im not that active but I work with photoshop everyday at swedens biggest pre-production companies and I think I can help develop some good ideas.-
I wonder if such a work environment might not actually be detrimental to your chances for becoming a beta tester – because the potential confidentiality requirements might be much harder to fulfill if you share an office or even a computer with other users.
Just guesswork on my part, though. -

I've been working with Photoshop in the industry for the past 16 years but have only recently been interested in beta testing. Also, is it true that some time over the next 6 weeks, Adobe will be looking for beta testers for CS6? If so, as well as being active on this site, what would be other criteria for applying to be a tester?-
Mostly looking for people who are engaged and passionate with the product and the community.

Derek, asking questions about rumors (or spreading them) wouldn't be high on the list of desirable attributes for a beta tester...just saying, cause anybody who would know couldn't possibly say.

Cheers Jeff.
I guess my naivety on the subject of beta testing is shining through like a brightly lit bulb of stupidity but I'm slowly coming round to the way things are working. 'nough said.-
Yep...but don't bang yourself up too much. The process of becoming a real beta tester (vs the "public beta" that Adobe sometimes does) is either a long and sorta protracted process or one of pure luck of being in the right place at the right time and meeting the right people.
As Jeff says, if you are highly active in the community here or elsewhere, go to the various shows like Photoshop World and meet people from Adobe, that's really the best way of becoming a beta tester...or just plain good luck! -

Hi,
I have tested PSE for the last 3 cycles i.e. PSE 8,9,10 by working onsite with Adobe India.
Also, i have done Photoshop Ace CS5 with an aggregate percentage of 88 %.
I am looking forward to become a Pre release tester for PSE 11.
Can you please recommend me to how to adopt the process to be a Beta tester for PSE 11. -

I think it would be fun to be a beta tester for CS6 Master Collection.

I’m
optimistic, but in pain
I have been a professional-level photographer since 2004. I have also been an Adobe customer for many, many years.
I have several CS versions for both my old PowerPC Mac (cited only for reference purposes) and a 10-month old DIY Windows 7/8 PC
I have tens of thousands of photos, hundreds of pieces of artwork and (until I took seriously ill in 2007) the makings of one of the largest personal websites in the world... seriously...
http://www.zenzenpup.com (16,880 files and counting)
Now, I'm struggling to get my life back, I have 4 years of work to catch up on, I'm barely squeaking by on General Relief and I lost my subscription to CS 5.5 Design Collection because that money went to prescriptions and treatments...
I just downloaded and installed Windows 8 and I am desperate to make a strong move back to being "relevant" again.
Can you help?

When Does A Really Motivated, Yet Ill Photoshop CS User Get To Beta Test CS6 Software?. -
You should not look only for people who are "passionate" about your tools.
You should find people who are CRITICAL about your software.
Adobe software is NOT just goodie, goodie. 60% are quite useless.
First of all YOU the employers should be the most critical.
Otherwise all the memory and CPU issues on Mac side we have would not exist.
Go and do a short Google about Adobe Products, espacially, Lightroom, Illustrator, Photoshop and After Effects. You'll be surprised about all the ranting in the web.
However. I feel that there is a lot of ingnorance and arrogance at adobe, that's why you're not listening to your users nor beta testers at all. Adobe are the only who believe what's good for us = WRONG folks!
And yes, the Photoshop team can be our own worst critics -- we use Photoshop ourselves, and want it RIGHT.
