OS X Lion compatible with Photoshop CS 5

I just bought a iMac 21,5 inch with 2,5 ghz i5 processor and 4 gb ram with OS X Lion. This is my first mac and I bought it because of stability and that photoshop is supposed to be fast and working great on a mac. I have not dared to open the box yet. I wanted to be sure and googled a lot about Photoshop CS 5 (I'm intending to buy only Photoshop not the whole suite). The thing is that I read that people find Photoshop incredibly slow and sluggish in Lion. What are your experiences? Should I keep the iMac or should I choose PC again?? I refuse to have the whole Vistaexperience with Lion.

I’m interested in some feedback as well. I have an iMac and want to install Lion but I don’t want to have to deal with a bunch of issues other than what has been posted on the Adobe web site under “Known Issues Adobe products on Mac OS 10.7 Lion”. I will be purchasing a new MacBook Pro this week, it has Lion preinstalled and want to install CS5 so some feedback would be awesome. Thanks

  • Lion compatible with photoshop cs3

    Cannot launch Photoshop CS3 in Lion. Is it compatible?

    Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
    1.  Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

  • Is the new OS X lion compatible with photoshop CS 2?

    I am thinking of getting one of the new macs that comes with OS X 10.7 (lion)  --can I load my Photoshop CS 2 program on this new computer?

    Adobe currently supports CS5, and CS2 for Mac relied on and worked on older Macs (pre switch to Intel) so no.

  • Is lion compatible with CS4 and C1Pro

    Just wondering if  Lion compatible with Photoshop CS4 and Capture 1 pro 6.2.x?

    all Adobe products have more or less issues in Lion. The only one 99% compatible is CS5.x, the latest.
    Everything before CS3 will not even run, because it is PowerPC and Lion does not run PPC apps anymore. CS3 and above are Intel compatible. CS5 introduced first 64bit support on Intels ( Lion is fully 64bit )
    Adobe has a Website with issues on Lion : http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/905/cpsid_90508.html
    Your other product I do not know, sorry.

  • Is Extension Builder 2.1 using Flash compatible with Photoshop CC also in the future? (There are speculations, that it will be switched off, what will destroy my investment in that code)

    I have codes a lot of stuff using Extension Builder 2.1 using Flash technology to be compatible with Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop CC.
    There are speculations, that the support for this would be removed in Photoshop CC. This would destroy my investment in this code and my customers would not be able to use my products anymore, when they are using Photoshop CC.
    Is there any workaround planed for customers using Photoshop CC to be able to run extension build with Extension Builder 2.1 and Flashbuilder 2.6 also in the future?

    Can you supply a link?

  • IPhone 2.0 software now compatible with Photoshop Elements 6?

    While the current software is compatible with earlier versions of Photoshop Elements, it is not compatible with Elements 6 since Abobe changed their database (nor longer using Access). I notice that the specs on iPhone 3G say compatible with Photoshop Elements.
    Can anyone confirm that means Elements 6?

    However, to be fair, while there may be savings to be had, your company would have to replace existing phones with iPhones and tie everyone into one carrier (which accross a multi-office environment may not be practical, due to coverage issues). The iPhone does not offer the level of encryption available to a Blackberry/RIM handset, or the ability to enforce security policies on handsets, which may be a concern to your IT and Security people. It also misses some useful features (such as searching email for words/phrases. This is a feature I use regularly on my Blackberry, and I'm disappointed to not find it on my iPhone. ). And there is the whole, One Vendor issue that may worry some (you can connect non-RIM, e.g. Nokia, etc, phones to your BES providing the phone supports the required blackberry software).
    I've got to say, as much as I love my iPhone (and I'm personally migrating from my blackberry to it) I don't think I'd recommend it as an enterprise phone.... yet... It's still got a way to go. As a personal+business phone, I'm giving it a shot (as the personal side is quite good). My current employer is a small company, with no BES, so I use my carrier's BIS, and get by with it. As such, the calendar+contacts sync available through mobileMe is a plus . If I was planning IT direction for a larger organisation though, I'd be considering the iPhone (if for no other reason than an excuse to play with one ), but I wouldn't be preparing a migration just yet!

  • Is Mt. Lion compatible with Final Cut Pro 7?

    I am currently running Lion (10.7.5) on a 27" iMac 3.4 Ghz.
    Is Mt. Lion compatible with Final Cut Pro 7 and FCS 3? Will these programs still run or will they be not supported by the new OS as has been the case with past apps when a new OS is introduced?
    Thanks,
    Phil

    I have a 2gig HD for backing up my system HD . The backup HD is partitioned into 20 - 1 gig partitions. I use the Carbon Copy Cloner app to make a clone copy of the system HD. Never had a problem. If I need to I can boot from one of the clone partition or copy file from.
    (Just make sure your FPC media and video files are on a external HD (firewire for example) other than a USB 2 HD. FCP does't work properly with USB 2 drives.)

  • My Mac has Operative System MAC OS X Version 10.6.8,processor 2x2.66Ghz Dual core Intel Xeon. Is this compatible with Photoshop 5.5 or 5 and how can  I get it in Bogotá, Colombia or can I download it ?

    CS5 and CS5.5 are no longer sold. You can either buy CS6 or the subscription to CC. System requirements | Photoshop

  • Existing Actions and Plugins Compatible with Photoshop CS5?

    I have actions and plug-in products, and while I've done everything I can to make them future-proof, I'm wondering if any Photoshop CS5 beta testers can speak to whether existing actions and plugins are generally compatible with Photoshop CS5?
    Specifically:
    Are existing 32 bit Windows (PC) plugins proving to be compatible with Photoshop CS5?
    Are existing 64 bit Windows (PC) plugins proving to be compatible with Photoshop CS5?
    Are existing actions (both platforms) proving to be compatible with Photoshop CS5?
    I'm anxiously awaiting the go-ahead to download my copy to verify everything, but I'm just trying to get a feel for whether I'll have work to do.  I'm hoping for the level of compatibility seen in CS3 and CS4 - all my software worked perfectly with no changes.
    Thanks.

    I appreciate you all taking the time to answer, but none of you has actually said what DOES happen with your existing actions / plugins and CS5 beta.
    I know that experience with one set of actions and plugins doesn't guarantee operation with another, but if, for example, someone actually stated, "all my old plugins failed to work with CS5" or "they all seemed to work okay" then I'd have a better idea of what to expect.
    Please keep in mind I've been developing commercial actions since PS6 and plugins since CS2, and all my software works on all 32 bit versions and 64 bit CS4 on Vista x64 and Windows 7 x64, so I'm intimately familiar with what might happen and what should happen.  Plus I've programmed them to be quite resilient, and I don't expect any of the CS5 feature changes to break them.  What I don't know is whether Adobe has fundamentally altered the plugin interface this time around, or has deprecated any old filters, causing a plugin or action that used to work to fail now.  The word "rewrite" has been used to describe CS5, and that has me wondering.
    In short, I'm really looking for actual experience with the CS5 beta here.
    Wish I could get the CS5 SDK already.  I don't understdand why Adobe doesn't release that in advance.
    Thanks.

  • Is mountain lion compatible with snow leopard?

    is mountain lion compatible with snow leopard? can you use the same version of iTunes

    VMware and Toaster can be upgraded to versions that will run on Mountain Lion.
    I was not able to find anything on PalmPilot for Mountain Lion. Of course seeing as how it is at least 15 years old that doesn't surprise me.
    As I see you want to run two operating systems which means rebooting to use them just for PalmPilot. IMHO that is a lot of effort on your part for a very small gain.
