No Photoshop for the Mac until maybe 2012.

It’s a development framework issue. Adobe is planning to port Photoshop to 64-bit. This is a non-trivial task, as the developers like to say.

But Apple is abandoning plans to port Carbon to 64 bit, so Adobe has to move to Cocoa. Another non-trivial task. That means you won’t see Photoshop CS 4 on Leopard anytime soooooooonnn.

Meanwhile, over in the land of Prinergy, the development managers are breaking their arms patting themselves on the back as the client GUI for Prinergy is written in Java. And nobody remembers the days of slow Prinergy workshops when it was running on G3 and G4s.

Uh-oh, I think Preps may have been written in Carbon. Any guesses as to when Preps will be written in 64-bit Cocoa?
