Re: [OT] Adobe Apps for MacIntel
Jim, CS2 is MacIntel compatible; it's just not MacIntel *optimized*. Almost all EULAs state that if you do not accept the terms of the licensing agreement you may return the package for a full refund. Depending on how recently you purchased and installed CS2, it may well be plausible to return it for the reason you do not accept the EULA. You generally must open the shrinkwap and attempt installation in order to view the EULA. Also, some retailers have more liberal return policies for purchases made during the holiday season. (I was really excited when Auntie May got me CS2 but it just runs too slowly on my system.) Amazon will accept returns through Jan 31 for purchases shipped Nov 1 - Dec 31. http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=15015711 Amazon will also refund software purchases. If the software has been opened they reserve the option to give a partial refund (typically 90%) but in practice it's usually 100% if you have all the material. All good reasons to buy from Amazon. Adobe announced that PhotoShop CS3 would be shipping in Spring 2007 on Dec 14. Their policy in the past has always been to give free upgrades to people who purchased after the announcement and/or within 30 days of shipping the new version. However, they were mum in this press release about the overall CS3 Suite. http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pressreleases/200612/121406Photoshop.html I recently called Adobe to discuss my upgrade options (I'm a CS2.0 Premium user) and they didn't have any specifics on the CS3 suite release date. Basically they told me that there would be a new suite to accommodate PhotoShop CS3 but they didn't have any information on which of the other products would be updated. Hope this helps, Bill Jim Carwardine [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Does anyone have any insight on what Adobe plans to do with their upgrade from Creative Suite 2 to 3? ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

They've been remarkably quite about the rest of the suite, we still don't even know what apps from Adobe 7 Macromedia are going to be carried forwards... Apparently Adobe says CS3 is such a massive upgrade that they do not want to honour their upgrade policy for recent buyers of CS2. There's a certain amount of truth in that, as far as I know it's been pretty much re-written to be MacIntel Vista compatible. And BOY does it make a difference on an Intel Mac! CS2 launch on a MBP is 20-25s, CS3 is 4-5s. Now, because I opened the package, I may be stuck with old software and no options but to buy it again to get the CS3 version. At the very worst you'd have to buy an upgrade, like the rest of us who have older copies of CS2. I can't believe that Adobe are insane enough to make everyone buy Photoshop again from scratch. There are likely to be all sorts of different bundles, though, what with LightRoom, Bridge etc. Ian P.S. On a slightly related note - anyone who has even a slight interest in photography should download the trial versions of both Apple Aperture and Adobe LightRoom, very interesting to analyse from a GUI design perspective... ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: [OT] Adobe Apps for MacIntel
I just returned my CS2 stuff this morning, no problem once I got past the rules-driven worker bee and got to the store manager. They tell me April 07 for the full CS3 but it is hard to imagine if Adobe are only talking about Photoshop. One of the bits of trivia I learned is just how much of the mainstream software, such as MS office, are being emulated on Rosetta. My impression is that very little non-Apple software is Universal...
