To make a long story short, Adobe says that they’ve tested CS4 compatibility with SL and it doesn’t need any software updates to be compatible with the new OS. But CS3?
Older versions of Adobe creative software were not included in our testing efforts.
In other words, they don’t give enough of a shit to even test it. Even if anybody thought enough to throw the disc in to “see what happened”, the results weren’t included in this report.
That’s about all the FAQ says. Except that it takes two pages to do so. [Adobe]

wtf? aren’t these like thousands of dollars to buy? I would want my software to last a few years… between the cost and the new version every 2 weeks it seems, I can understand why u’d pirate stuff like this.

The basics appear to work with my brief testing on the later builds of 10.6 so far. But it’s the small odd things that break, especially with printing. Adobe never fixed printing issues with InDesign CS3 to my GX100 rip in 10.5. Canon/Apple/Adobe blame each other.

From my personal observations around the industry and educational institutes, not so many people bothered with the CS3 Upgrade if they had purchased CS2, especially those who had done their homework on what CS4 had in store.
Report PermalinkI know the pain of Adobe’s CBF factor personally as a photographer when I upgraded my CanonDSLR to a newer model the new CR2 RAW photo format was not supported by any of the camera raw plugins for cs3. Very frustrating, but I suppose Adobe is big enough not to care.

NOOOOOOOO! If my CS3 becomes unusable when I upgrade to Snow Leopard I’m gonna be really upset.
