So at this point, unless someone magically comes along and can solve these issues for me, I think I am too rooted and invested in the PC side of things. Great idea – BUT it does not solve the training issue and usually when an Action does not work well in an older version (from being created in a new one) guess how you fix it? You write it from the oldest version you want it working in. Plus I would want CS4 on the Mac side which means spending $700 for a new license for the Mac side (as I could not transfer if using the others on my old PC or on the PC side of a Mac), plus windows for Mac, a program to switch. But CS2, CS, v7, older elements for Mac… Well good luck is basically what Adobe said.Īpple’s solution was just put all of this on a Windows side to a Mac. Adobe said they only sell CS4 (and I can transfer my license for that). If I could get all of these for Mac, I would probably make the switch. I have versions of Photoshop back to v7 and have CS, CS2, CS3, and CS4, and also have 2 versions of Elements installed.

I do Photoshop Training and design products (actions) for Photoshop. After talking to Apple, Adobe and reading comments, nobody has found a way for me to overcome the biggest obstacle of switching. My ultimate dilemma of switching has not been solved.

I have not made a firm decision, but if you take the time to read the whole post on my pros and cons, and also the comment section, you will see that the comments tell more the whole story.

I still have the poll open if you want to vote. Last week I did this poll on my blog asking readers if I should get a Mac or stay with PC.
