I just installed Leopard, and so far Dreamweaver is the only problem app. It tells me there is a problem and I need to reinstall. I'm off to find my install disk and will update this as soon as I can.
Adobe just released a paper on this topic, it discusses their latest releases...
"Adobe Photoshop CS3, Flash CS3 Professional, Contribute CS3, Dreamweaver CS3, Fireworks CS3, Flash Player 9, GoLive 9, Illustrator CS3, InCopy CS3, InDesign CS3, Bridge CS3, Version Cue CS3, Device Central CS3 and Acrobat Connect (Start Meeting) are all compatible with Leopard.
Older versions of Adobe and Macromedia may work with Leopard, but the company warns there could be “installation, stability, and reliability issues for which there is no resolution.” Adobe said these products would not be updated for Leopard."
*Sure would like info on CS & CS2 Photoshop/Illustrator*
Ok, I solved my problem quite easily. I copied all files in Library/Application Support/Macromedia from my backup disk into the same location on my main drive. Leopard installer didn't move those files. I have now run all of my Adobe apps just fine under Leopard. Hope this helps - Rich
It's going to be interesting to see if the Adobe CS3 apps run faster on Leopard than they did on Tiger. If not, I'll stick with Tiger until I upgrade to a Macpro.
If you use your computer for work, I'd wait a few days to see if any problems pop up before I install Leopard.
Thanks for the link. Good to read a positive review. I wonder if the results differ re: PPC vs. Intel machines. I'm hoping that someone will do a thorough test of CS3 and Tiger.
Hello,
I am using a power Mac G5 & I want to make sure about CS2 & Leopard. So tare they running okay?
Any one else besides Rich test Dreamweaver 8 or Flash 8 yet?
Thanks
I haven't been able to isolate the problem yet, but I've run into a problem with transparency. Just before upgrading to Leopard I was making icons using Photoshop CS3 and Pic2Icon. Following the same procedure after the upgrade ends up with icons that do not have a transparent background.
Hey, Kismac. Did you run the regular upgrade to your OS or do a full wipe and install for Leopard? Has anyone done this with success for photoshop CS2 and Indesign CS2? I'm not holding my breath for the full CS2 suite, but I'd like to know for sure.
Holding off on Leopard while the rest of my house is already enjoying it : (
I booted into Tiger and discovered that it is Pic2Icon that is not preserving transparency running on Leopard. Photoshop CS3 appears to be working fine.

Apparently, CS2 apps will have problems running under Leopard, and Adobe won't be patching it to make it work.
Actually, given that folks have been using them throughout the beta period and the past 48 hours of the official release with no reported issues, I'd wager CS2 apps will work fine -- it's just that Adobe isn't supporting them ... and they're trying to scare customers into upgrading to CS3. 🙂
