PS3cs beta
Just wanted to pass on some info...
After struggling with photoshop CS2 on my iMac under Rosetta for about a year I finally had a chance to use the CS3 beta that runs natively on the intel processor....
Man, what a difference! The program loads in about 5 seconds (as opposed to about 30 seconds for CS2) and everything is equally as fast.
Really, it's amazing.
Can't wait till the whole CS3 lineup comes out.
Not to mention...Quark 7 runs very very fast on the intel...as fast or faster than my dual G5 power pc at work ( i think faster actually).
Hail! Hail! Universal Binary (whatever the f&^% that means...it works!)

I've been using it on an Intel iMac now for about two months.
I was working with about fifty 360MB files yesterday. I tested CS2 vs. CS3.
CS3 was about twice as fast with what I was doing.
I had to copy and paste a master file into each file I was opening. When I pasted into in CS2, I was waiting for the thing to render as it pasted. In CS3 it was so quick, I wasn't sure if it happened.
I haven't seen any problems running CS2 or CS Photoshop under Rosetta though. Besides, it's still fater than working on the G4 I was on.

Yeah, it's really absurdly fast compared to CS2 on the intel.
MacLife mag showed that some operations were up to 470 percent faster. it's definitely true.....

yup - them intel chips seem to be doing the business huh?
if i could justify the expense i'd get the intel mac - looks a beast with 8 core chips - flippin eck - even my packaging files would fly on that
ahh - downside - more power=more speed=more available time=more work for me=making the other guy redundant.........

Even though the machines are getting faster and we may be able to accomplish more, scheduling won't get any better and there will still be a bottleneck somewhere.
But until then, Photoshop still rocks!

There is no time to take the time to do things right, but there's always time to reprint the job when someone screws up!
I couldn't agree more.
I believe this thread has officially becom hijacked....
