Hi Graphics people
I've heard a rumour that Photoshop doesn't run as well as it should , on the
new Intel processor Macs. Has anyone else heard anything about this?


Yes, their are lots of reports about this issue and it is not just Photoshop, but the creative suites per se.

Adobe are working on issues with Apple etc. etc. But their will be no change over too Universal in short term, it will eventuate at the next Major release point for their CS, so the story goes.

Their will also be issues with the 32bit v 64bit processers, mainly to do with memory allocations?

I mainly use Photoshop and am thinking of buying the new Mac.

I would wait unless the need to upgrade is imperative, then again their are some really good bargains on the PowerPC architecture around the traps at the moment, with negotiation could be better still.

Cheers!
