How will Adobe Photoshop CS run on OS X Leopard?

I have Leopard and CS3, runs great. The only problem I had is with Fireworks 8, and a simple reinstall worked will to fix that. I only have Fireworks 8 b/c I didn’t buy the package with the new version.

What kind of Mac are you using? I jumped from CS1 to CS3 on my G4 dual 1.25 (10.4) and found it to be too slow for me. I can only assume this situation will carry over to 10.5. CS3 works fine on the MacBook though, and I have a friend who uses a G5 and finds CS3 & 10.5 fine – or at least I haven’t heard any gripes from him.

Be sure to note that CS3 has a few issues on 10.5 – particularly with InDesign it seems. I am holding off on 10.5 for just these reasons, and waiting for some other apps I use to be fully 10.5 compatible – particularly backup software and some small utilities I have come to rely on.

I’m not a heavy InDesign user, but still these issues have delayed my Leopard upgrade for the time being.

I’m using a Macbook, with 2 GB of ram, but everything else is stock.

CS2 is buggy on leopard.
CS3 for me has been quite stable.

CS3 + Leopard is working well for me.

I am using CS(1) on Leopard and it definitely has some quirks—for instance, the only way to open files is to do so from within Photoshop- if you double click a PSD (or any other photoshop-assigned file format) it will launch Photoshop, but the file will not open. Dragging and dropping to the photoshop icon doesn’t work either. You have to actaully use the “Open File” dialog every time. There also seems to be a bug where clicking the Marquee tool in the Tool Palette nearly always opens a submenu, instead of just selecting the tool. That may just be me clicing the wrong part of the icon perhaps…

In any case, the file-opening bug is definitely annoying, but not a show-stopper—I have an older G4 1.25ghz powerbook, so it probably doesn’t make sense to upgrade to CS3 given that. It’s too bad Adobe doesn’t appear to offer any patches for the problem(s) I listed, but again, no show-stoppers. Good luck!

Oh and if anybody does know of a patch for these issues that I just didn’t see, please post a link… Thanks!
