First off, didn’t do my research this timemy bad except for the fact that my intel core2 duo mac only had 1gb of memory and lion needed 2 to upgrade. So that was my focus last week. Found out that I can add more memory, order the 3gb, installed it yesterday and upgraded to lion no problem whoooooohoooooo!! Posted in Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Bridge, Adobe Creative Suite, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, Apple, Color management, Mac OS X and tagged Adobe Creative Suite, Adobe Photoshop, Apple, linkedin, Lion, Mac, Mac OS X. NOT SO FAST!!!!!!! Today, I turned on my mac and proceeded to start editing a wedding when my photoshop CS2 wouldn’t load. Now what!!!!! Researching and reading reviews when I came across your blog. I cannot believe what is happening right now. First, I thought I would need to eventually upgrade my mac approx. $2000.00 give or take. Instead Paid $100 for memory, $30 for Lion, but wait now it’s going to cost me $699 for Photoshop!!, as a photographer can’t live without it!!!!!!! I guess I should be thankful for the $1000.00 savings. Thanks for letting me vent. I upgraded to lion on another hard drive just to check it out. I didn’t find it worth the $3,000 it would cost me to upgrade all of my apps. So, I continue to use Snow Leopard. I have Photoshop CS, which is the last version without Adobe’s onerous DRM. (I tried CS2 briefly then sent it back for a refund after it kept asking me to authorize it every time I launched it. In my view copy protection is the manufacturer’s problem, not mine.) I also still prefer Freehand over Adobe’s horrible Illustrator program. Unfortunately, Freehand was ditched with Adobe bought Macromedia, so there is no upgrade path for that one. I also have an older version of Filemaker, which would be another expensive and unnecessary upgrade. What will I do 3 years from now when I’m forced to upgrade to an OS that no longer supports the older apps? I will probably have to abandon Photoshop. It’s a great program, but I can’t justify $700 for a whole new license and the agony of their DRM. I will probably use Pixelmator and Aperture. I did upgrade to Microsoft 2011 — an absolutely horrible upgrade, btw. For Filemaker, I’m testing Bento. I miss some of the higher level features, but I can’t justify the cost of Filemaker for home use. I have not identified a solution for vector graphics. Illustrator is not an option. I’ll have to look for a Mac-friendly alternative. Any suggestions anyone? Happily, the rest of my apps are up-to-date, but I have no doubt the next OS upgrade will require hundreds of dollars in app updates. That’s partly why I’ve moved away from these “corporate” apps like Adobe makes. I’m considering an upgrade myself I Have CS3, just above yours. I have snowleopard on my desktop but as I am planning to upgrade to new mac mini so i can expand my ram. However all new mac come with lion. I am looking at alternatives to adobe creative suite. The leading alternative is Corel Draw Graphics Suite X6 around $450.00. The only draw back is its only for pc platforms. However, you can run windows in a virtual program and install it that way. Something to consider. From what I understand you can’t upgrade to Adobe CS6 with anything less than CS4. I like the Adobe software however, the cost and restrictions have me seriously considering alternatives. Update: here’s the solution I chose for Photoshop. The subscription program for $19.99/mo. I have the latest CS6 installed on my computer, and all updates and upgrades are included. So, while the cost over three years is $20 more than purchasing the traditional plan ($719 v. $699), presumably w/in three years Adobe would offer an upgrade. Currently that’s $199. So assuming an upgrade, the 3-year cost of ownership comparison becomes $719 subscription plan v. $898 traditional. And of course, less money upfront which is always nice.

The next 12 months were spent on and off with an Apple Care specialist to determine why I was getting kernel panics (computer shut downs) and wi-fi drops. The first fix was a new hard drive fan and airport card.
