I have added my first wallpaper to the Goodies section on this website. It’s a shot of blooming chives which was altered with Aperture 2.1 and Photoshop CS3.

You can get the wallpaper by browsing my Goodies section and clicking on the download link for the wallpaper. The download package also includes a custom folder icon (512px as .icns, .png, .ico) with the Chives wallpaper on it.

Beside that, this image is available for print on deviantArt in various sizes.

John Nack reports that

the Mac x64 revision will take longer to deliver. We will get there, but not in CS4. (Our goal is to ship a 64-bit Mac version with Photoshop CS5, but we’ll be better able to assess that goal as we get farther along in the development process.)

You will find more infos and comments about the roadmap at John Siracusa from ArsTechnica and John Gruber from Daring Fireball.
