14 DAY TRIAL // Adobe Product Manager John Nack updated his blog with an interesting announcement yesterday, revealing that Snow Leopard 10.6.2 fixed a bunch of user-reported problems with Photoshop. Those using the powerful photo-editing software waiting for Adobe to issue a fix can download the free 10.6.2 update and apply it right now, for free.
Via his post, Nack confirms to Photoshop users and owners of a Mac running OS X 10.6 that the Flash maker has been collaborating with Apple in order to correct the errors. “Good news: Apple has released a Snow Leopard update that fixes a number of problems customers have reported,” John Nack’s post reads. “The Photoshop team has been helping Apple test these fixes and can confirm the following improvements,” he writes. Below are the issues affecting Photoshop, as well as some CS4-specific bugs under Snow Leopard.
Affecting multiple versions of Photoshop: 50654: When opening and saving, applications--including Adobe applications--may sporadically crash. 51230: Images don't open when dragged onto the Adobe program icon in the Dock. 51220: Crash or program error occurs when using Menlo font in Photoshop and Premiere CS3 and CS4.
CS4-specific: 51764: Only one image opens when many are dragged onto Photoshop's icon. 51278: Cursors don't display correctly in Photoshop CS4. 51339: Editing in Photoshop CS4 fails from 64-bit Lightroom in Mac OS X 10.6. Cannot drag from Safari onto Photoshop icon (and other application icons) in Dock to open file.
Issued two days ago, Mac OS X 10.6.2 is the second incremental update to Snow Leopard, Apple’s most powerful operating system yet. The release came packed with tons of patches, including close to 50 fixes on the security side alone. An update for the Server version of the operating system was made available as well, with Apple Security Update 2009-006 being made available as a standalone download containing just the security fixes.
