If any of you I-D users are Mac users, I would highly recommend Swift Publisher [http://www.belightsoft.com/products/swiftpublisher/support.php]. It is one heck of a lot easier to use and has sufficient controls for most caving publications. I just completed the layout & printing of a brochure and a 20 page annual report booklet and the 600 dpi file to the digital press printer with full bleeds worked great. Download the trial and check it out.

Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design Standard combines: Adobe Photoshop® CS6 Adobe Illustrator® CS6 Adobe InDesign® CS6 Adobe Acrobat® X Pro Be sure to read the site carefully to make sure it's what you want. Found one rating which said: Beware!!! CS6 InDesign does not play nicely with Retina displays. I wish I had been told this during my lengthy conversation with Apple salespeople before purchasing a new laptop. Adobe updated other applications within the suite (Illustrator, Photoshop...) for Retina compatibility but not this one. Results are ugly pixelated views (or unusably tiny views with scaled resolution). Ugh. …More Planning to get one myself for my birthday at the end of the month. Don't have to worry about the above, I don't have a Retina display.

The important part is the link to Adobe. They have a Q&A that answers all the questions and clears up misconceptions. I started with Adobe Photoshop when it was only written for the Mac,version 2.0, an never paid more than $199 for an upgrade. To me, being unemployed is an outrage. I am currently using CS3 as it is the only version I am able to use on my Mac G5, I bought CS6 last year, for $199, and will use it when I upgrade to a new Mac Pro Desktop. Apple keeps promising a new Mac Pro. I am running CS6 on my wife's Macbook Pro and there are NO problems. You are out of luck as Adobe cut off an upgrade from CS3 to CS6. You will have to go to the cloud or buy the full version of CS6 as a new customer. This was why I bought CS6 upgrade as I knew Adobe was about to cut it off. For once I got lucky :) Those jerks that download pirated versions of Photoshop is one of the main reasons Adobe moved to rental. They are making all of us pay for steeling software.

If there's been an inquiry about it there, I didn't see it. (Sometimes I think I don't get quite all the posts.) Seems like not such a bad deal, really. I bought CS3 for over $2100 back in 2007 (would have been more if I'd bought a more complete suite of programs, including the web stuff). True, I've used it for 5.5 years, but I'm still stuck with CS3, not the latest versions. And it would have taken me almost 4 years to pay that amount at the rate of $50 a month, so I'm not terribly far ahead of where I'd have been had I been paying subscription all this time. (No doubt the list price of the more recent versions has gone up, too, and I doubt there's much of an upgrade discount from CS3 for CS7.) And since I've been stuck with CS3, I haven't upgraded my Mac system to OS 10.6 (Lion) because I heard that some of the CS3 programs have at least cosmetic problems with the newer operating system. That sort of thing wouldn't arise with a subscription that allows one to upgrade at no extra cost. But then I know people who have the whole latest version for nothing. Not hard to find on the web programs that will unlock pirated versions from disk. I imagine people will figure out how to patch subscription versions so that they'll continue to run after you stop paying, too. If there has been a significant thread about this on Texas Cavers, feel free to post this if you want to. -- Bill Mixon ---------------------------------------- Nothing is better than complete happiness in life.
