Hi everyone. As a recent Mac convert and new MBP owner, I've got to invest on software, mainly Photoshop CS3 and Illustrator CS3; but seeing that I'm rather tight on money right now, I'm limited to whatever my workplace own. My workplace only has CS2 for Mac (which does not run natively on Intel MBP) and CS for Windows (work also has a copy of XP Pro). So until I have enough money to buy CS3, which set up would you guys recommend for me - CS in XP or CS2 in OSX?

Thank you in advance.
 
I'm in a similar boat except I don't have the apple version of photoshop.

So, its either buy CS3 or use Windows Adobe CS2. I'm thinking doing the later until I decide to jump to CS3. we'll see how it goes.

Will Adobe let you do low cost (or free) "cross-grade" from Windows CS2 to OS X CS2?

If not, I'm pretty sure you can at least upgrade from Windows CS2 to OS X CS3 for like $199 (retail).

At least you wouldn't need to purchase a whole new version...
 
CS2 in OS X it is, then :)

Plus, after thinking about it, I'm not really sure I want to bother with boot camp...
 
there's a speed difference between CS and CS3, but for light image work (web stuff) CS was fine for me, and it was only because I could get CS3 that I did. Well, that and the desire to stay relatively up-to-date, but not out of necessity.
