Absolutely. I just reviewed their new video. It looks great, and I could avoid going to Aperture if I don't have to, and the extra 3D functionality looks impressive.

Unfortunately ACR is still pretty much the bottom of the barrel for conversion quality. Which is a shame since everything Adobe has built around ACR is quite nicely thought out.
Up to now, I have been biting my tongue when it comes to wannabees slamming developers.
We have Macs and PCs, but only PCs for stress. (Clients think we need them) However try to get the staff to work on the PCs when they know it is much easier, more beautiful and less hassle to compile on the Mac side.
At the same time, however, we don't tolerate, 'until they do this or that, then your screw them attitude.'
As for Adobe, there isn't a professional graphic designer that I know of that doesn't appreciate the comprehensiveness of their programs and more importantly, how they have affected our futures and bottom lines. Adobe, has always been a close friend of the Mac, and in fact has reiterated time and time again, that if it weren't for Steve Jobs and the Mac, they would be non-existant.
For you to suggest that we should abandon our appreciation for Adobe's Mac products because they not on a par as you have somehow pre-determined with their Windows offerings, tells me that you are an absolute selfish ill-informed ignoramis. And trust me, my words are guarded.
Thanks for the Adobe/Apple history lesson, but are you for real?
Pointing out that Adobe is neglecting some Mac users makes me a "wannabe developer"? Your overly-emotional defense of a software company says a lot more about you than I.
And, for what it's worth, when attempting to insult someone, try not to misspell the word.

Care to elaborate on this? Is there a real reason why Aperture would be superior in this regard? Thanks.
The point being that maybe people should hold off on their "Yay! Adobe!" circle-jerk sessions until their Mac offerings are on par with their Windows offerings.
in what way are their mac offerings not on par with their windows offerings
Thanks for keeping a calm head. The upgrade is sure to be a traumatic and trying experience for everyone.
ROFL ...In any case AfterEffects in "3rd quarter 2007" would mean motion graphics peoples to be pushed back in their MacIntel purchases to 2nd half of 2007... \
Yeah, I'm not concerned at this stage who makes what and how fast? How would I influence this progress? I'm more interested in timelines, shipping products, and educating people that don't have the time to spend all day on forumz and stuffz with what I currently know.

Well Production Studio is going to be available April 16th as a beta on Adobe labs. If its at least as stable as PS CS3 beta than it will do.
Also Apple should be comming out with FCStudio 6 April 15th. Nobody knows whether Apple has their Motion/Shake ready but if it is , say bye bye to AE. ( At least i will , AE is dog slow compared to Motion but Motion lacks some great AE features )
there r some shortcommings in the mac versions of macromedia sw like flash. Performance wise as well as from a UI standpoint. Think it's cos they used some sort of java lingo for the gui. Same issue plagues the layer palette in fireworks (not resolved as of fw cs3 beta). DW's interface si prolly the best behaved.
Hopefully adobe might've sorted that out.
i'm still pondering a move to quark esp if indesign and illustrator remain as bug ridden as cs2
There's 1 thing that i liked on the pc with phsop : you could use the scrollwheel or the up and down cursor keys to switch between pull down menu options (like the layer blend modes in the layer pallettes.) However i reckon this is more an os x limitation.
I'd like there to be more support for the os X font palette. Have an option to use that instead of the built in ones. the OS X palette isn't the best either (cmd +w doesn't close it for example) but it lets for quick searching and previewing of fonts. (something that apple can update together with the colour picker!)
Funny i see many bemoan the lack of golive updates (thought it would be a given). Freehand will be sorely missed here - it was showing its age though especially the lack of unicode support. Any chance of multipage layout in illustrator and perhaps less resource hungry app!
well, I'm excited about the Premium Design Bundle. I am confused about Fireworks a little bit, but at the end of the day I use Photoshop, Illustrator, Image Ready, Flash/Dreamweaver, so I'm all ready to go. I saw someone mention about Lightroom. I was suprised at first too, but being that it's not an expensive app for what it does, it's worth the extra money. I don't think to many Photographers would be interested in a whole Suite of Applications. All they really need is Lightroom and or Photoshop. I have already bought Lightroom, i used the Beta for a while and liked it more than Aperture. They both have there ups and downs, but I just felt like I knew my way around Lightroom a little better, I guess it's because I use a lot of other Adobe products. Lightroom runs amazing on my Mac Pro, and from what I herd Photoshop CS3 ran really nicely. Hopefully the rest of the suite will be the same way
My guys in the studio have done a quick perusal via the Adobe and Macworld sites. Overall, it looks quite impressive. Certainly the concensus is that this is a major overhaul and anyone who criticized its 'delay' should be on their knees and apologizing profusely. At least, quit griefing about it.
So they take ages to start developing properly for OS X and are only just giving us Mach-O binary plugins despite OS X being out for 7 years so everyone will need to update their entire collection, they charge more than the last CS suite and we can only buy the configurations they set out and we're supposed to be grateful?
They should have made it so you could buy individual apps with multiple purchase discounts.
My reaction to this release is 'Finally!' and 'OMG, that's expensive'.

Are you sure you need PS Extended?
Absolutely. I just reviewed their new video. It looks great, and I could avoid going to Aperture if I don't have to, and the extra 3D functionality looks impressive.
UK upgrade pricing Studio 8 to Web Premium £519
With added sales tax UK upgrade pricing should be around £300
I feel violated!

Is it being positioned downmarket from Dreamweaver?
I had thought that GoLive would be pushed to designers while Dreamweaver was pushed to the Coders.
But the marketing for Dreamweaver CS3 has the program being pushed to both markets.
I do like the idea of GoLive continuing, but I don't understand where it's headed.
Hopefully adobe might've sorted that out.
