David Responded to a post I put on my Twitter, after testing with an older version of 10.6 Build that CS3 was crashing. I was being perhaps too pragmatic with posting that CS3 didn't work in 10.6 but it is better to be safe then spend allot of time reinstalling 10.5. The Adobe FAQ release didn't give any real light on the subject but implied that CS3 Would not work in 10.6 (But it does). Please read the twitter correspondence below.
DH: "Which CS3 product is crashing on SL for you? And what build of Snow Leopard are you using?"
TT: " Snow Leopard 10A261"
DH: " Photoshop CS3 works based on the testing we've done. And we worked with Apple to fix any issues we did find."
TT: "Based on your twitter post I can take it everything will work golden? On some of the last builds I did have a few crashes."
TT: "The CS3 Crashes were working with files over 1 GB in size running blur and sharpen filters. (large format print stuff)"
DH: "There were many builds of Snow Leopard after 10A261. There were issues with earlier ones that have been since been resolved."
TT: "I am going to test CS3 this weekend once it comes out to make sure so people don't upgrade prematurely, I'll let you know if I have any issues"
DH: "If this still happens with the GM build of Snow Leopard, let me know."
So there you have it "Adobe" themselves may not have said anything and the FAQ may have left allot of people thinking CS3 was not going to work but Quoting David Howe:
"Photoshop CS3 works based on the testing we've done. And we worked with Apple to fix any issues we did find."
So go ahead and upgrade to Snow Leopard. David says it will work and until I get my own testing done; that's good enough for me. I have to also say it is really good of David to come out and let us know what is really going on. After all Adobe should have just come out and said it works it shouldn't have come from David, who was good enough to tell us.
Thanks David.
