Jobs: New Intel Macs are 'screamers'
January 10, 2006
The migration to a Mac-Intel offering is expected to bode well for Adobe, which receives nearly half of its Photoshop and Creative Suite revenues from Mac users, said Kevin Connor, senior director of Adobe's digital imaging product management.
"People will move to the (Mac-Intel) products at the same rate they move over to the new systems," Connor said. "It will take some time for the transition to happen, but it's inevitable that it will."
For Apple, the transition could not come soon enough. The computer maker recently attributed a slowdown in sales to users' reluctance to buy new systems while they await a wider selection of products designed for Mac equipped with Intel processors.
Nonetheless, Adobe is moving forward with its product lineup for the new Mac-Intel systems.
Adobe earlier this year released a public beta of its photography software Lightroom, designed to help manage workflow tasks ranging from printing to controlling tone to managing images.
"Adobe is very committed to Mactel (Macintosh-Intel), but we also just completed the Macromedia acquisition and people now have higher expectations of integration between the two," Connor said. "We have to balance our schedules carefully."

Home consumers should look elsewhere for their software.
Unfortunately, I'm seeing more and more home users trying
to create their own materials. This really becomes a
problem when they take their files to a printer (press). This
software is designed for those with a deep understanding
of the printing process and it's requirements. It's not "over-
bloated". All of it's tools are needed on a professional level.
Home users should wait for the Microsoft Expression and
Interactive Designer planned for Vista. God knows
professionals won't use it.
