i like leopard. i've used it on a friends machine. he has had no complaints. i too am just biding my time. not for the software upgrade, but for a full computer upgrade. when tax returns drop in my bank account it is new computer time for me. i plan for a new 24" imac for me, and a little macbook pro for the wife

We're adding a new computer workstation to our graphic design department : New PowerMac Pro on Leopard. Also planning to purchase a CS3 upgrade to test it on one of our existing G5's on Tiger.

Is it worth the upgrade to CS3? Is it best to buy the full version and install on the new Power Mac on Leopard? Will CS3 files import well in CS2? I assume to open a CS3 file in CS2 will worky by exporting them as(.inx) minus any new filter or feature from CS3. But, would it be less of a hassle to just upgrade everyone to CS3, provided there are no known bugs? Many forums go back and forth on issues and I'm not sure if they're just complaints or the majority of folks pleased with CS3 and/or Leopard aren't speaking up. I want to hear from my peers. Your opinions matter most...not from those with possible "pirated" versions or newbies to Mac.

Any feedback would be appreciated!

Thank you for your time.

CS3 + Leopard (or wait for snow leopard for even more amazing performance) runs like a charm. There were some incompabilities with Leopard and CS3 in the beginning, but as far as I know it works like a charm now

an upgrade from CS2 to CS3 would pay off as it's much faster and efficient, and time equals money right?

That's good to know! Thank you. And yep, there never is enough time in a day to meet deadlines without having to compromise sleep or a life. lol

What about exchanging files between CS3 and CS2, or rather opening CS3 files with CS2? How is CS3 on Tiger 10.4.+?

BTW...I just noticed from a couple weeks ago since I looked, that CS3 has been updated to CS3.3. Acrobat has been updated from 8 to 9Pro and the CS3 Design Premium package now includes Fireworks. ..

I actually just upgraded to leopard today. Very beautiful system. Only data loss i've noticed so far is my external monitors background changed to the aura, and the icon on my username in the log-in window changed. Thats all for now. Very smooth upgrade, no worries, did it in about an hour. I am going to finish installing 10.5.3 tonight, and install windows tomorrow, and will report back!

Well, I know that you can save files to beeing backward-compitable on CS3, but I'm not shure what that would do to CS3-specific elements such as smart layers, but my guess is that they'd rasterize them.
