As previously reported, Adobe's Vice Presdent offered a "quick look" at Photoshop CS3 running on an Intel Mac at the Photoshop World keynote last week.

Few details of the demo are available, and Appleinsider reports that the upcoming Universal-Binary revision of Adobe's Photoshop (code-named "Red Pill") is expected in the spring of 2007. While no new features were revealed, it did show that Adobe had successfully ported Photoshop to the Intel Mac.

In February, Adobe stated that the Intel-transition for Photoshop would be delayed until the next major revisions of their software.

Yay!

This makes me happy.

Hurry up, Adobe!

From Apples Sales guys they say under rosetta Photoshop runs well. (Slower then native) but at the same speed if not faster then PPC (Espectially the G4)

Apple sales guy.

It runs ok, but no faster than a G4.

bdkennedy1 · Sep 18, 2006, 03:57 PM

I'm HOPING they used this opportunity to rewrite everything and making the apps lean instead of just porting over more than 15 years worth of code.

miketcool · Sep 18, 2006, 03:57 PM

Thank goodness! I am hooked on Adobe's LightroomBETA but their third incarnation was a major buzz kill. New features are cool, but it hogs all of my memory and after a few minutes my RAM is saturated and it doesn't dump. Hopefully the final version will fix this. As for now, I am starting to appreciate Aperture, so come on Apple!

Uhhhh... Intel Photoshop wouldn't run under Rosetta.

gugy · Sep 18, 2006, 03:59 PM

very cool!
My quad G5 days are counting now.
I can't wait for the octo-core!

Exactly. I'd pay the full retail (vs. the upgrade) just to have a nice, lean set of Adobe apps.

Sdashiki · Sep 18, 2006, 04:00 PM

or perhaps keep the navigational shortcuts between:

photoshop
illustrator
indesign

the same.

I hate having command-scroll move the workspace horizontally in one app, but ZOOM in/out in another.

I mean, they made EACH of the programs, I hate having to remember, oh yeah im in AI now, cant use option to scroll....

dizastor · Sep 18, 2006, 04:01 PM

mmm intel native creative suite. delicious.

jbh001 · Sep 18, 2006, 04:07 PM

A little dissappointed. Adobe's website indicates thay are takeing "pre-orders" for Acrobat 8 which are expected to ship mid November. That's 2 months away at this point. To me this means it is unlikely that we'll see CS3 in January 2007; more likely is: Adobe will start taking "pre-orders" March 31, 2007 with expected shipping after Memorial Day. Having set my sights that low, anything sooner will be a bonus.

polyesterlester · Sep 18, 2006, 04:14 PM

Yes! I just hope they hurry...

Does anyone else remember carrying around Photoshop on a floppy disk?!?

Crazy but true.

MacsRgr8 · Sep 18, 2006, 04:48 PM

So, spring 2007 it still is then?
Nice race:
- Vista
- Leopard
- CS 3

That still is half a year away. Early Quad G5 owners who use Adobe's CS for a living probably have made the best investment ever!

Great time to wait for the Octo Core Mac Pro!

2007 is going to be one hell of a year, if you ask me!!

JackAxe · Sep 18, 2006, 04:52 PM

This coming year is going to be an expensive year in upgrades.

But it will be worth it for Maya and AfterEffects running under 8-cores.

I am with you man!
I am so happy I bought my Quad when it was launched. Now the Octo-core is the way to go. I just hope get some decend money on ebay when I sell it.

twoodcc · Sep 18, 2006, 05:12 PM

well this is good news. wonder what the new features will be

uncle_sam_ie · Sep 18, 2006, 05:15 PM

This news kind of kills John C Dvorak's claim that Apple is going to dump OS X for Windows. Because, wasn't Adobe not bringing out a universal binary straight away one of his arguments for Apple dumping OS X.

I think the fact that the claim was made by John C Dvorak is what killed the claim.

I've met sandwiches with a better grasp on reality than Dvorak.

What, the fact that it's an utterly idiotic claim is not itself sufficient?

I guess if a five year old tells you mud tastes good, you have two good reasons to not eat mud.

If Adobe can bring the best features and interface of Lightroom to photoshop, sort out the memory issues they should be onto a winner.
