A friend just ordered a new Intel iMac and I'm confused - will Photoshop CS work or just run slower? or not work at all? Likewise for other Adobe software and the likes of After Effects? Can anyone clarify..
I use Premiere, After Effects, and Photoshop at work. The tools are expensive because they have a lot of power and take a lot of work to build. But compared to other business expenses, the price of software (even Adobe's) is negligible. And if you compare how much we bring in using their products to how much we spend on them, they're doing quite alright by us.
Hm, by Q2 '07 Apple will have it's own competitor to PhotoShop out, with complete CoreImage speed on the new hardware. Anyone who has seen CoreImage in action with a good GFX card (Macbook pro anyone?) will understand that if Adobe doesn't make use of some similar tech to exploit the GPU it will be left behind sooner or later.
@EtherGnatAbsolutely correct. If Adobe dropped Photoshop and MS dropped Office on the Mac, Apple has a dead platform. Apple knows this and respects it, although they do dance around the edges (iWork, Aperture).
I think it just make sense. Adobe/Macromedia code pro apps that rely on optimized filters for specific hardware platforms. They can release CS2 as Universal Binary, but it will be buggy. They're serious in what they do (although they're becoming a monopoly...).

I need this to be creative. Without the newest update I can not be creative.
