• Problems related to palettes (slow redraw, palettes go white, possible crash) have been addressed.
• TIFF files from certain scanners can now be opened correctly.
• After editing an image in Photoshop CS2 via the TouchUp tool in Adobe Acrobatﾮ software, the image no longer gets repositioned.
• XMP metadata from AI and PDF files is now retained in Photoshop.
• Slow performance when toggling layer visibility has been fixed.
• Info palette numbers are now displayed and updated when moving a curve point in Curves via the cursor keys.
• Problems opening certain TIFF and PSB files greater than 2GB have been resolved.
• The Merge to HDR command now functions properly when using high-ASCII characters in user login.

And it is now a Universal Binary!
LOL
just kidding. That’s in 2007.
If I don’t see an office update (universal) i would not buy a macbook or macbook pro or macbook 16v turbo.
Steve’s RDF almost got to me today… I was seriously considering buying a blacck MacBook until reality set back in and I remembered that all of Adobe and Macromedia’s software aren’t universal yet.
I’ll find out at work tomorrow if this updates causes me literal hell, or actually fixes things. Trust me, this patch was long overdue.
Will the new MacBook (white or black) even run Photoshop or will it overheat and melt down trying?
Brandon: Adobe and Macromedia’s software = Adobe’s software now … Macromedia no longer exists
“Will the new MacBook (white or black) even run Photoshop or will it overheat and melt down trying?”
It will run Photoshop just fine, at about iBook G4 1Ghz performance.
Just as important is Adobe also released the Camera Raw 3.4 Update, which was previously a beta release.
DistantThunder: Don’t worry, I know.
I wish they would release a patch that makes the program easier to use. sheesh.
Brandon,
I use Macromedia Suite 8 on my intel iMac, runs just fine and i don’t think the UB would make that much difference. the same chip is in the macbook so it won’t be that much slower!!
“I use Macromedia Suite 8 on my intel iMac, runs just fine and i don’t think the UB would make that much difference.”
Dude, it will run at least three times faster as a Universal Binary and you know it.
Still, I believe you when you say it runs just fine. These Intel chips are SO much faster than the old G4 stuff; the Intel Core Duo 2Ghz can basically emulate a G4 at 1.2Ghz performance levels.
Boy, that was quick! (sarcasm alert) They must have been busy coming up with excuses for not making PhotoShop 9 universal binary or working on Adobe programs they care about because they have competition.
Office runs just fine with Rosetta. Can’t see it as a reason not to buy a new MacBook.
It actually feels snappier on the MacBook than on the old iBook.
