This sub-thread appears to have diverged on a point of confusion.

Mr Strat commented that Adobe doesn't recommend running anything earlier
than CS3 on Snow Leopard. (They actually say they haven't tested
anything earlier, so they won't comment either way.)

Lou Pecora seemed to misinterpret Mr Strat's comment as claiming that
Adobe didn't recommend running CS3 on anything earlier than Snow Leopard
(clearly wrong, since CS3 predates Snow Leopard by a couple of years),
and mentioned that he is running CS3 on Tiger.

dorayme then seems to have not noticed that Lou mentioned Tiger instead
of Snow Leopard. The computer that Lou is using to run CS3 on Tiger is
not particularly relevant to dorayme wanting to run some old version of
CS on Snow Leopard.

Or did Lou actually mean Snow Leopard and the Tiger reference was a
temporary brain fade?

dorayme - which version of CS do you actually have? If it is CS3, then
Adobe's site mentions a few specific issues.

If you have CS1 or CS2 then you will have to rely on anecodatal
information from elsewhere, such as:

http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/

which has user-supplied comments that CS1 and CS2 work on Snow Leopard
under Rosetta.

(I wouldn't bet on them continuing to work under 10.7, as it may drop
Rosetta.)

Actually I did notice this and I thought hello, this is not helpful to
me. But then maybe I forgot it. My very first post asking the question
was all I wanted to know at that stage:

"Does anyone know what the earliest mac versions of

Photoshop,
Illustrator,
Indesign,
Macromedia Flash
Macromedia Fireworks
Adobe Acrobat Pro

work, straight off with no hard problems to fix
on latest Macbook running Snow Leapard?

If no one knows this for sure, what versions of any of these have proved
to work on your machines."

meaning on late model machines or *at least ones running snow*

Correct.

CS. The first to run native for OS X. and I am perfectly happy with it.

Thanks for this last, I will be doing more research but my machine has
yet to arrive and there is no urgency - God, how good this QS of mine
is, I should buy another on eBay!


(Apple have my dough and if any of you spot any Apple execs lounging
about in the sun with drinks etc by pools, tell them to stop spending my
dough so freely and get off their bums and send me my cool white
Macbook, printer etc.)

No I meant Tiger. Seems I never picked up the actual topic. Sorry to
add confusion.
