    really jordy,
    open photoshop,
    -------
    - stop using your mouse, only keyboard now,
    -----------
    command + o, make it let say 300 dpi using only the keyboard,
    you can't it only goes in the writable area
    -------
    let say you manage to open it,
    now click command + s
    use shift + s, choose the image format lets say jpg,
    you can't,
    you have to use your mouse

    this is where I fail to understand the lust for the mac OS, yes its shiny, but If I have to always use a mouse to do half of my work, i'm kinda lost

    • some of us don't like using keyboardsribit
    • its about speed, not keyboard,
      do you prefer typing looking at the letters or learning to type?

    • nonsense you can tab to the file format and use ctrl + down arrowInfirm
    • I don't know what your talking about, maybe you just never bothered enough to learn how OSX works. I just opened an image (Cmd + O), Made it a different DPI (Cmd + Option + I) , Use the tab keys and number pad to change the numbers and jump to different feilds, Now Save as (Cmd + Shift + S) Hit enter. Done. I would rather use the mouse along with the short cuts to save time. Have fun working with just the keyboard.syst_m
    • Ah, got cut off. Well I just did it without the mouse. Why you would wanna do that IDK.syst_m
    • Have fun using just your keyboard on a PC. Maybe you can run your spy-ware programs with your mouse too.syst_m

    i was a die hard mac user, but recently installed the windows 7 beta on boot camp on the old mac pro.
    i have since found my self using windows 7 much more often. It just seems like CS3 works faster in Windows, and I find being more able to maximize windows allows you to ignore distractions and get more done.

    I've done
    pc > mac > pc > mac and am now about to migrate back to a PC.
    i agree with the shortcuts, but think mac have some real nice features however these as a development tool pc wins for me.

    If Mac was a decent dev tool there would be a hash key on the keyboard. But its simple and a rock solid OS. I cant complain about that.

    • often find tabbing on forms tedious on a mac.Stugoo
    • Yeah, OSX kicks ass...Windows 7 sounds promising, though...jagara
    • Tabbing forms tedious? WTF?dMullins
    • select boxes don't respond to tabbed content.Stugoo

    I've been working on a PC for ever,
    if you use keyboard shortcuts while working in any adobe programs,
    using a pc may greatly increase your speed,
    mac keyboard shortcuts are kinda retarded..
    es: not having the possibility to use shift or arrows to select a save mode or just go through the dialogs without using the mouse

    • at work I use a mac though.GeorgesII
    • this can all be done on a mac as well, with the same ease of use.Jordy
    • bullshit. Long term pc + mac userMojo

    easier to design web sites using a pc, as you working with most users native platform, that could be one reason.

    • Mac is getting ridiculously expensive these days...CGN
    • actually their lowered the prices considerably if you compare it with 5-10 years agoMeeklo
    • but their quality and customer service has dropped as wellMeeklo

    A considerable number of my friends (designers) have made the switch to PC recently. I'm curious, is that something any of you are experiencing??

    Mac fanboys stay out of this, i'm not trying to start that boring ol' war again ;)
