Adobe sets Approximate Delivery Date for Next Mac Version of Photoshop Elements

Earlier this week, Adobe released Photoshop Elements 6.0 (and Premiere Elements 4.0) for Windows while the Mac version of Photoshop Elements languishes at 4.0, a version that must run in Rosetta emulation on Intel-based Macs. Photoshop Elements is Adobe's consumer version of Photoshop for digital image editing. We have been anticipating the next Mac version of Photoshop Elements because it is our primary image editing tool and we would like to run it natively on our MacBook Pro.

Enclosed with Adobe's announcement was a note about the next Mac version,

"...we just issued press releases about our consumer digital imaging and digital video products. These are updates to our Windows versions of Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements. Currently, our Photoshop Elements Windows and Mac versions are on different product development tracks. Photoshop Elements for the Mac customers continue to be very important to us and we want to bring them the best solutions possible for their platform. A Mac version of Photoshop Elements is expected in early 2008."

So the good news is that there will be a new Mac version and it will arrive early in 2008. [Bill Fox]
