Where am I now?

Photoshop CS2 on MacBook Pro!

Posted in Photoshop, Web Design, Web and technology by Khaled on June 3rd, 2006

After all I’ve heard on this matter I wanted to see how Photoshop and illustrator worked on MacBook Pro (especially I was planning to buy one) so I borrowed my friend’s machine and installed them! even the installation step was a pain! as the installer froze twice!!
After installation I wanted to test them
they were really slow especially photoshop! and I am a patient kind of person!! Things that should take someting like 3 minutes take up to 5-6 minutes! so if you are gonna work for hours just imagine…
So Don’t get a MacBook Pro if you are a ‘Photoshoper’ until CS3 is here!
Photoshop runs in emulation using the Rosetta emulator technology and Adobe mentioned that intel native version of their CS will wait till the next version: CS3.
Photoshop CS3 will be probably released in the second quarter of 2007.

    Photoshop CS (version 8) works pretty nicely on my Macbook (non-pro) with 512MB of RAM. Startup takes a little while but once the program loads it’s pretty snappy. It should be even better once I upgrade to 2GB :D

    Hi, the same thing happened to me. When i bought my macbook pro, the salesman told me not to install photoshop because it wasnt made for intel based mac so it would work badly. He told me to wait for the universal photoshop. Anyway, i didnt listen and installed it :p
    Its not that bad so im using it until the universal photoshop appears..

    Thanks, fuser
