Adobe updates CS3 Leopard compatibility info
There was some doubt about Adobe products working with Leopard prior to launch, which caused no end of consternation among the designoscenti -- to upgrade or not to upgrade? Fortunately Adobe has released updated info (PDF) on the CS3 suite and Leopard, and the news is mostly good. Most CS3 components will work fine under Leopard, with the exception of some video workflow issues with After Effects/Premiere, and some unspecified problems with Acrobat 8.1. Updates for the video applications are expected in December, and updated versions of Acrobat Pro and Adobe Reader are scheduled for January.While this is unfortunate for those who depend on Acrobat for PDF workflows (despite the enhanced performance of Preview in 10.5, there are a few things that Acrobat does do better), it's good to know that the workhorse apps Photoshop and Illustrator will behave themselves under Leopard.

I have a macbook 2ghz and i have to run photoshop CS if I think i'll need to do any burning/dodging basically anything that needs a brush size I can see. In CS3 brushes will only show as a cross hair, this is awful, I am a photographer and use these tools daily I am pushed into using an older version of Photoshop or I suppose I could go back to Tiger but why the hell did I buy the macbook in the first place then?? the other major issue I'm having if this is familiar with anyone is constant time outs while waiting for programs to catch up ????!!! 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1GB memory and yet I can't open two pictures in photoshop and send an email at the same time without the dreaded little colour spinning wheel ticking over for...well quite a long time actually, my four year old Dell PC handles more working programs at the same time.

- Illustrator can not handle aspect ratio resizing of anything
- InDesign crashes upon start up.
I have two mac's, a Powermac G5 w/ 2gb ram, and an iMac 24" Aluminum w/ 4gb ram. Same issues on both of them.
Some minor issues with Photoshop as well, but nothing I care about.
Hello Fellas-
I have Macbook which had 1GB ram with core duo2 with leopard. Every Apps works except Indesign CS3.
Even trying update CS3 won't work for this particular one.
Some people's had figure that it was due to some plug-ins component causing issue, that doesn't support leopard.
Haven't figure which one cause it, but I hope this piece of information help some people.
Let people know if your all CS3 works, in which condition.
As people know CS3 will only work on 1GB Ram.
In Tiger everything works perfectly, but it's Leopard.
Hope can use all CS3 programs in Leopard, because i need to work on these too :(
I have an 8-core mac pro with 16GB ram with leopard and the CS3 master collection. Most of the apps run fine, even Indesign is working well. There are some bugs with some of the apps such as after effects. It was a clean install of leopard and CS3, not an upgrade from tiger.

i too am expreincing the pain of ID CS3 on Leopard crashing on load. Most of the answers i have found are Windows related and dont solve a thing. so please help...
mine was working briefly until an automatic cs3 update began, it couldnt install completley and then left ID completely useless. Any clues there?
Also Photoshop CS is working OK with Leopard, but minor glitches with ImageReady CS: stuff like being unable to nudge a selection.

My Photoshop CS3 "save for web" dialog doesn't respond with Leopard. This is major for me. But I'm using the Czech iteration of CS3 and it sucks generally....
