i assume that the latest developer release is pretty final (i can't imagine that the internal gm-version would be so dramatically different?).

did anybody yet install adobe cs3 suite on this latest build and how is the performance? does it work, crashes, etc.?

it would be a shame to not be able to upgrade to leopard next week as i need a fully working/ stable cs3 on leopard.

let me know,
thanks

ditto. I would really like to know too. Scouring google for an hour yielded no recent results.
 
It was running fine for me on the 9a466 build. I would imagine it would work fine in the GM. Expect an update from Adobe in the weeks following though.
 
hmm. waiting weeks until adobe gets off their asses to write a press-release isn't a solution ;)

it would be great if someone who's upgrading to leopard anyway could test cs3 on it and report if it's all good and stable.

Once I upgrade I'll install Photoshop, Illustrator, and Dreamweaver and let everyone know how it goes.
 
Considering more than 90% of the worlds graphics industry use Mac's, I will be very surprised if there are any problems with CS3 in Leopard ... :)

Well I told you it was running fine in the beta builds. As you know, the final release isn't here yet. I couldn't possibly tell you how it runs in that as I have not used. However, I can be pretty certain that if it ran fine in the beta it will be fine in the GM.

Thus, you wouldn't have to wait for Adobe to do anything. My point was Adobe would probably release and update to CS3 within a few weeks of Leopard in the event that there are any bugs. Naturally you wouldn't have to wait for it, as I have told it runs fine.
 
I guess the reason why i'm concerned is that there was an article on tuaw recently and one in the comments said it was totally buggy and crashing all the time.

but who knows, might be on a previous beta build of leopard.
 
CS3 works, and it has for some time.

Adobe gave us slack in the press because a) we don't bow to them anymore and b) they are terrified of the direction of Aperture. Adobe is still in shock of how their video software business was gutted.

So they said they couldn't be sure. But it works. And yes, and update should follow soon enough, but because CS3 still has some nasty bugs. (And why they didn't optimize for Leopard's technologies is beyond me.)

I have been using Photoshop CS3 since it's launch and (thankfully) haven't come across any bugs .... Can you tell me what they are .. :confused:

Thanks

Cs3 better work!!

Such a pain if it didn't.
Also! What about Aperture? I use Aperture and CS3 together and if both of them won't work then I had better stick with Tiger :(

Considering just how much money Adobe gouged out of Mac users for CS3 (especially in europe - 70% more for exactly the same software is not funny) they better be ready to provide decent support. Windows users have a choice about not buying CS3, but Adobe have Mac users very much over a barrel.

With CS3, Adobe records record profits. They need to, because users will remember how they have been treated and will not buy CS4 - not unless Adobe provide top line support of CS3 AND put some (at this point unimaginable) killer features into the CS4 software.
 
Has anyone tried to install CS3 Master Collection onto their mac with Leopard running?

I know when I went to put CS3 Master Collection on my Macbook (Running Tiger) for class, I had the Safari 3.0 Beta running and the installer was having issues when it asked me to switch disks (blank dialog box - http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb402337&sliceId=2 ).

And with Safari 3.0 coming standard in Leopard, do you think that will be an issue?
 
can somebody with leopard installed confirm if these work:

- entire adobe cs3 suite (all apps)

- entire final cut studio 2 suite (all apps)

- after effects cs3


really apperciate
 
Yes, most CS3 application are working under Leopard. Only After Effects CS3 has some issues under Leopard because it hit some bugs in Leopard which Apple were reluctant to fix. I think their are some hotfixes available internally here, though. Mainly GUI glitches and it breaking some things Ultra support I think.
