- longofest, on 10/12/2007, -0/+34excuse the typo... The title should read "Adobe to Announce Universal Apps Next Week"
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+24I DO NOT BUY THIS FOR A SECOND.
Adobe is scheduled to release Universal Photoshop and Illustrator SPRING 2007. Other apps may be released earlier, but the big Daddy apps...no way.
All of us loser OSX-Intel folks are screwed for yet another span of months. - cfsporn, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20Gentlemen and Ladies, START YOUR BITTORRENT CILENTS!
- Ireland, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17Ha ha, I believe in God too, but he can't help you with this one ;)
- oOLiquidNightOo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15you're not telling me God uses Gimp are you?
- Zolk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12Announce? Maybe.
Public Beta? Wouldn't rule it out.
Final Release? Not a chance. - GodsHand, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Adobe is not releasing Universal updates for CS2. They will be announcing and demonstrating CS3. Of course, you will have to buy an upgrade if you want it.
- greenstork, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11First of all, MacRumors doesn't really create any rumors of their own, they aggregate them from other sources like MacBidouille, AppleInsider, Think Secret, etc. Rumors that have been corroborated end up on their homepage, but rumors like this that have little or no backing, end up on "Page 2". They report on everything but rumors that end up on their homepage are considered the most reliable Mac rumors out there.
- RWTechgage, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8I wish they'd announce a Linux version, though it will never happen soon. I'd be one of the first ones in line to pay for that baby :-/
- dvgraphics, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6No- It's referring to the Intel-based Macintosh versions which need to be "Universal" (Run on both PPC and Intel).
- nerd05, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6It really wouldn't surprise me if Adobe did get everything migrated over and updated early. I don't doubt that they got some help with it from Apple (especially since you can no longer buy a computer from Apple that will natively run Adobe CS2), and you can imagine they're under a lot of pressure to get a product out. And if they released their new apps before the end of the year, that would fall into the 18-24 months range.
Bottom line is that neither Apple nor Adobe can afford to go much longer with the creative suite not running natively on Apple's best machines. - thescreensavers, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7This would be awesome if it is released before I get my MacBook Pro in October!
- TomP, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8Pleeeease photoshop cs2 is killing me its so painfully slow thats the whole reason I got a mac for a faster photoshop T_T
- knowall, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Mac Rumor Sites 101:
These might be confusing:
MacRumors.com
- trustworthy, doesn't make stuff up. rumor aggregator and tries to post credible info
MacOSRumors.com
- old site, NOT trustworthy, essentially is felt to make up their content
MacOSXRumors.com
- relatively new site, not that much inside info, but has had a few interesting predictions lately. - mingistech, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5[UPDATE]
The rumor has been moved to Page 1 and now they have it listed as CONFIRMED.
"A "sneak preview" will be shown of some Universal Binary versions of Adobe's applications"
http://www.macrumors.com/pages/2006/09/20060901205754.shtml - Snuffkin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Because going universal is the perfect opportunity to make people buy all their software again. It's like Adobe's dream come true.
- JohnH, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Oh please Adobe favor us with another minimally-improved, vastly-overpriced upgrade, burdened with even more user-betraying features like MS-style product activation and currency recognition!
Sheesh. - PastimeGamer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I'm waiting to buy Photoshop until the Universals come out for my MacBook. I hope there's something about PS next week.
- val1um, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Adobe acrobat 8, adobe say that the first app to be in unversal binaries it's acrobat 8, i think that we have probably leopard before the adobe cs3.
- sdubois92, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I hope this is true.
- Arramol, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Agreed. Getting the Adobe Creative Suite on Linux would take care of one of its biggest weaknesses. The inability to run Photoshop and Premiere are the #2 reason I don't permanently switch. #1 for me is games, and those are a far smaller issue for those looking to use it in a professional environment.
- waveman216, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Please God, let it be true.
- zwilliams, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4@ stissac: I think you're thinking about "macosxrumors.com" and not "macrumors.com". They are two separate sites, MR has been relatively accurate while MOSXR has generally been the one to make up ***** that is horribly inaccurate.
- webonics, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Actually, Adobe could release a CS2 suite Universal Binary and then turn around in another 6 months and release CS3. I agree that Adobe is doing the right thing by waiting until CS3.
Adobe was one of the big vendors not happy about the processor switch with so little notice. This also came at a time when Adobe was making some tremendous decisions about the directions of its product offerings with the merger of Macromedia products. Considering the additional development time to integrate the two companies' products together in an offering that pleases both sets of customers on top of adding a Mac Universal binary must be a real development ordeal. Plus, Adobe and Apple have had some falling outs behind the scenes lately, most notably regarding Premiere vs. Final Cut Pro. (Premiere is no longer available for Mac) I would bet that Acrobat universal is released before any other application as Acrobat is their flagship product and the most profitable.
I have a MacMini with an Intel processor but still mainly use my G5 PowerPC Dual Core for all my design work because there isn't the universal binary yet. I guess that is part of the price you pay for being an early adopter of the latest and greatest technology. - totorototoro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3sneak preview doesn't mean imminent release.
- mistafreeze, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2if you go ahead and buy cs2 now, and they really will release cs3 in Sept they will give you a free upgrade most likely, usually within a 30-90 day period.
not to mention upgrades from cs2 to cs3 will not be too high (nor were cs to cs2)
i only use photoshop from the suite, and hope they shed some light on details surrounding lightroom and how much it will be. - GodsHand, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The first app Adobe always releases is a new Acrobat.
- gmillerd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2But the announcement of it I would buy, always can get your name out there.
- backdoc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This was both: a sincere and legitimate question.
Thanks to the one person who saw it that way. - stisaac, on 10/12/2007, -8/+10MacRumors is generally inaccurate. I think sometimes they just make ***** up.
- andyeb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2As we all know, "announce" and "release" are two very different things in the world of software!
- notfred, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2you contradicted yourself - which is it? "wait to upgrade until next year" or "CS3 is indeed coming out this year"?
- richardlawler, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"We are working very hard on making our products Mactel (Mac Intel)
compliant," Adobe CEO Bruce Chizen said at a Tokyo news
conference. "When we ship the new product Acrobat 8 this fall it will
be Mactel (Mac Intel) compliant. When we ship Photoshop and the
Creative Suite products next spring they will also be Mactel
compliant."
http://www.infoworld.com/article/06/04/21/77646_HNphotoshopuniversal_1.html
Unless Adobe is looking for a stockholder lawsuit CS3 will ship next spring. - theonlyvlad, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Question: if you already own Photoshop for Mac, will the universal apps be freely downloadable, or will you have to buy a new copy?
- mathcaddy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1booooo....! bad "typo"
- defectDS, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I am my school's editor-in-chief for yearbook and have learned from our Taylor Publishing Rep that CS3 is indeed coming out this year. We had to make the decision to move on to InDesign CS2, but our rep told us to wait to upgrade until next year because we'd just be wasting money.
- defectDS, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I meant upgrade the upcoming school year. Because of poor backwards compatability, switching from CS to CS3 half way through the book would be a nightmare.
- samdu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I don't see any reason that it would be a nightmare. Adobe is usually pretty darned good about backward compatibility.
- blakeh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This would make me the happiest new macbook owner you could never imagine. Please tell me it's true. Please.
- joelito, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2"you're not telling me God uses Gimp are you?"
I'm sure he can figure out how to use that, hey, maybe he moddeled us with an early version of Blender. - maiku00, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4Ugh, ive been on the threshold of picking up the cs2 suite for a long time, but I keep puting it off because of cs3.. i really need them at any rate, and this totally sucks. maybe i'll just pirate until cs3 comes out. thanks for being dickfaces adobe.
- richardlawler, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0NO.
With Adobe, you have to buy AFTER the announcement to get a free (or at shipping cost) update to a new version. I don't remember their price protection policy, but it's not long. If you are using an Intel Mac there's absolutely no reason to buy PS until it is OFFICIALLY announced by Adobe. - tigerpaper, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1about F'ing time!
- Zervas, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0yeah, cs3 is not coming out this year. trust me on this one.
- catmistake, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I don't understand why Adobe is still everyone's hero... its like they're riding on the coattails of Apple's rented reality distortion field. Apple rules, but it only works for Apple, and specifically... nevermind. Adobe is a behemoth now... really, a new Microsoft. Adobe never even got their apps PPC native, completely... they never went all Cocoa, and still have Carbon code in their PPC releases. I think 2007 is ambitious for us to expect full native product from them by...
I never used their products on Windows, but they could release faster, I bet, if they put their energy into their own WINEish technology, used the code from their Windows releases, and slapped a Mac interface on it... no doubts that would work faster than the PPC code on Rosetta.
Creative Suite is a nice group of products, I personally didn't see the need for them to charge for upgrade to CS2, but thats just me. On an intel mac, if I need to photoshop something, I use Gimpshop... which is pretty nice considering its free and I didn't have to learn anything to use it (its just like Photoshop4? 5?). There are a few other old *nix X11 apps that someones took the time to put a mac interface on... I think... if so, I hope this is a trend. - Justin6512, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1finally I can get universal torrents :P
- endekks, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Adobe's sentiment and history as of late:
Photoshop = no real competition, so no real need to update / enhance
Illustrator = bloated and crash prone and sucks ass at importing and exporting, and the only real competition was FreeHand (which they have bought out to effectively kill)
I wish I had choices other than Adobe at times. I still use FreeHand, but must use PS almost daily - and one of the major reasons I am not getting a MacPro is because I won't be able to use PS, and a few choice audio applications.
Sigh... - theuber1337, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Only returning the favor my little apple buddies!
- theuber1337, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1vista vista vista vista vista vista vista
- thatsiebguy, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1Universal, as in, languages... Not binary..
