Adobe Photoshop CS3 (Universal) Preview

Wee! No reason for me to hang onto my iBook anymore!

I will continue to hold onto my iBook until it dies or I do. What will be great about a "universal" version of PhotoShop is the addition of the 24-inch iMac. 😀

C'mon Adobe!
 
Better late than never

Adobe needs to pick up the pace, if I'm ever gonna upgrade machines.
No Photoshop = No Intel Mac.

At least I'll be putting my Applecare to the test. 😉

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.

Uhhh Im pretty sure microsoft wouldn't like it if there was no OS X believe it or not.
 
I would be nice to have PS universal for my macbook pro, but since I don't use that too much for PS work it's not a huge deal to wait that long. And it saves me $$$ the longer they take, once it is universal it will be hard to resist a new mac pro to replace my G5, plus the upgrade of CS will be a pretty big bill.
 
Paris Expo anyone?

I know Steve Jobs didn't give the keynote, but does anyone have any news that came out of the Paris Expo? In a forum that is so anything Mac, this omission is quite puzzling, unless of course, it was no big deal
 
While it's nice to see a sneak of 3, it's obscene for Adobe to offer 2.3 NOT binary and charge as much for the update when it's just for Acrobat 8.

You mean that it's obscene that the whole suite is not a Universal Binary?

I think it's a good thing that they've updated CS2 twice to including Acrobat 7 and now, Acrobat 8, for the same price. It's very little you get from Adobe without really paying for it. From what I've seen, they're charging $159 to upgrade from version 7 to version 8.

It's odd to me that Acrobat is on a different update schedule than the rest of their products.

At least, they're able to show their UB suite, though it's probably just CS2 at this point. 😛
 
Any CS3 news is good news to me! This application suite alone holds me back from getting an Intel Mac right now, besides not being able to afford it. 😛

Unlike Apple's iTV, which is a pretty shameless copy of the Windows Media Centre Extender.... (Although, of course, Apple doesn't have a Media Centre Edition to be extended - at least not until the Leopard media hub is released (not coincidentally, in the same Q1 that the iTV will come out 😱 ))

Not to mention the plans for Intel's Viiv platform.

How about these quotes from last March?

http://www.cnet.com.au/hometheatre/mediacentres/0,239035725,240061467,00.htm

This is where the genius of Viiv comes in. Shortly, Intel will release a range of "digital media adapters", which connect to your existing home theatre components (e.g. your TV, stereo system, etc) and can stream content wirelessly from any Viiv-certified PC. Bingo!

The existence of digital media adapters will totally remove the need to have a media centre PC taking up space in your living room, unless you're one of the few users that finds it practical to do anything other than passively soak up multimedia content whilst relaxing on the couch.

As a result, the PC in your home office will likely act as a digital media hub, distributing content wirelessly throughout your house to various media adapters.​

Cupertino, start your photo-copiers!

So, spring 2007 it still is then?
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!

Yep, Got my Quad G5 last December and it has paid for itself 4 times over -- I had a year of extreme production -- no other box -- none-- not even my dual 2.7 G5 compared.

My Quad G5 made me more than enough cash already to justify the wait for OCTO.

Bring it. Excited.
 
two weeks ago i was at the photoshop world conference and one of the apple VPs was there. he talked briefly about the new creative suite. the contents of this report sound very simular from what i saw (which was very brief). I wrote quite a bit about it in a previous thread - you can read about it here.

If Adobe can bring the best features and interface of Lightroom to photoshop.
Click to expand...



I doubt that they will implement any features from lightroom,exept maybe gui.


I even think that they will remove the brige/raw converter from the photoshop, to force the customers to get the Lightroom separately.
Or the lightroom will replace the raw converter in Creative suite, for a bit extra cost.


Not that I think Lightroom is bad.
On the contrary.
In runs very fast on MacPro, compared to Bridge/Raw converter wich is unusable due to its laggyness and beachballing.
 
Someone get them the Retouch Artists Photoshop benchmark from Baked Beans and have them run that mofo. 😀 I wanna see some specs.

That would be freakin HILARIOUS to see Steve on stage explaining that they're dumping OSX because Windows is the future...
 
I simply do not understand why Adobe continues to update Acrobat in the middle of a Creative Suite cycle. I guess it's to generate buzz? You would think by holding it off until CS3, it would at least provide some consistancy for compatibility and support.

My guess is this:

• Partly historical, release plans may have been put into place some time ago which leads from...

• Driven by a different imperative. Namely, to further the universal business adoption of PDF to counter the potential threat of Microsoft's Metro, especially come Vista. Adobe have got the creatives tied up, it's the office-workers and IT buyers they need to keep on side, hence the flurry of Acrobat-related products (Standard, Elements etc.)

Food for thought, anyway.

I think the PDF rationale to accommodate offices and ITs is the most plausible of any answers I've read.
