Dave, you'll find the bulk of it in the /Applications folder. Probably "Adobe Photoshop CS". You could just drag it to the trash and empty it. Some bits and pieces will be in /Library/Application Support/Adobe but sorting out what's still needed by other apps is time-consuming, so I'd not worry

I agree, Paul. That's why as a photographer, I use a Mac for all my computing needs. I have tried to run Linux as a desktop machine and it's a huge productivity killer and "world of hurt". I spent more time tweaking and twiddling things and trying to find out why stuff I took for granted in a

If you think that selecting a new camera from scratch is hard -- so many choices with hundreds of tiny detailed differences between them -- just wait until you start selecting a Linux distro to run. Heh! Good luck. The Gimp is somewhere near Ps CS3 in ability lately. I expect it would suit you.
