Adobe Systems is gearing up to release its popular Photoshop and Creative Suite publishing software on Apple's new Macintosh-Intel systems next spring.
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 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."
Look Adobe doesn't make software for consumers. Or at least not much. They make it for creative pros like me. I don't begrudge Oracle's existence even though I run a mile whenever the word database is mentioned. Get over it.

I agree. Most Adobe products are created for professionals. 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.
That's why Adobe makes things like Standard versions of their expensive Pro software and also its the reason behind their Elements line of products. Photoshop Elements for $99.99 does more then everything a normal person would ever need at about a 7th of the price. Adobe Premiere Elements is plenty in it to make your home movies. Who knows.... maybe Premiere elements might save the programs from the slow death its experiencing now thanks to Avid and FCP. (both of which are much better, but have no elements versions)

They don't even have a decent-running version on Mac OS X because they're still running on a System 6-compatible design.
Had they truly looked at re-working their designs in 2000 for Mac OS X, they'd have something good running now on PowerPC and be able to release Mactel versions on demand.

Well lucky for you MSPAINT.EXE is on every PC and should be simple enough for you, the sad little "consumer" to use.

Think I'll wait!
