I can’t stand it anymore. Adobe is messed up. They’re stupid, dumb, and idiotic. They’ve only come out with universal versions of their fancy shmancy “Pro” products. (The regular Photoshop, After Effects, etc.)
Oh yeah! That’s great - if you have $650 to spare! I’m not going to pay one third of the price of my computer for a piece of software. No way. But it looks like that’s what Adobe wants us to do, because a year and a half after Apple announced their switch to Intel, they still haven’t made Photoshop Elements universal, meaning it runs super-slow on and any Mac purchased in the last year.
Sure, it runs. But paying $100 for a program that only performs at half-speed, and then $100 again for when the Universal version comes out is stupid. I guess that you could say I’m suffering from Photoshop withdrawal.
And I probably will be for the next year also. So Adobe had better hurry up with their universal applications, because I am very, very angry. But I guess Gimpshop will just have to for now….. at least it’s able to open .psd files. Actually, it probably would be a good thing if I got used to Gimpshop. It shouldn’t be too hard, and then I wouldn’t have to deal with any of this hassle anymore, and it’d be completely free….
This is the reason I haven’t made the move to Mac. I’ve got too much tied up in PC software, significantly including Photoshop and Premiere elements!
