Adobe is no longer making some programs for the mac. They say final cut pro is muscling out premier so they stopped making it. Is Illustrator and Photoshop far behind?

that would be the the biggest betrayal ever if you ask me.
- paulrand0
that would be the end of the world

that would be pretty funny actually. Maybe then people would appreciate the idea of open source software.

that would be terrific. Imagine if designers were responsible for designing, as opposed to just knowing how to use a program... Imagine that.
- gotham0
yup, your design skills wholly depend on a big corporation. or do they? how many here would be willing to drop their mice and take up brushes and pencils?

2B or not 2B. that is the question...

SDA. acronym. Superior Designer Angst. Usually expressed by more experienced desginers towards the bubbling mass of the average. Sometimes expressed by the average towards the unknown as a quick booster for creative self esteem.

if I was adobe, Id be saying "fuck you then. You can feck around with imovie, we'll make after effects just for PC then.

i reckon i could.
i got my start at this back in the late 80s, working at a newspaper doing stuff by hand..
and then in college, we learned even more..
it wasn't till 3rd year of college that we got much computer time..and at the time, photoshop 2 was all the rage...
so, fortunately, i can still do much of this stuff with or without a computer..
now..
that being said..what's the fucking likelyhood of any of this actually happening..
the only way photoshop and illustrator would NOT be updated for mac is if steve jobs created something to compete against them...
and thats not too likely..
anyhow..i work mostly on a pc now anyways...

or just some quality open source design applications, so that the tools we use are made by the public, for the public.

imagine all the wasted time if noone used computers anymore. lets not forget it isnt really artistic expression, its work.

How bout' designers making their own programs. Knowing a program suddenly becomes all about program language. Forget knowing some Flash AS or a little DHTML, now you got to design your own programs to do what you need. then we would see real work, real genius, none of this being restricted by program limitations. Forces everyone to think, weed out the men from the boys... (so to speak)

Adobe Vs Quark Vs DavidCarson
"When asked, in a taped, on-the-record interview, about his involvement with the PageMaker campaign, Carson said, "I did Beach Culture magazine completely in PageMaker, and then started Ray Gun in Quark, so when PageMaker approached me and said they had revamped the program, I kind of had a sentimental attachment to it, since it's the first program I learned.... So I said, 'Great, yeah, let me see it.' So they sent somebody down to train me on it, and I did use it for a couple of issues, and then they ran all these ads.... And I now have both on the computer, and tend to use Quark a little more than PageMaker."

"Later, in his presentation before some 200 people, Carson admitted that the layout pictured in the Aldus ad had actually been produced in Quark Xpress. When contacted to confirm this revelation, panicked PR executives at Adobe Systems, which merged with Aldus Corp. last year, searched through Aldus files and admitted that the firm has no written record of Carson's actually approving the copy and layout of the ads. Adobe also had no written assurance that the layout used in the ad was truly produced in PageMaker. Adobe hastened to add, however, that there were no hard feelings between Adobe and Carson."
