Hello
Same as post on printing forum but no response.
I run a Mac Pro duel Xeon quad core, OS Leopard, Aperture 2 and Photoshop cs3 which works fine.
I want to upgrade to Snow Leopard and aperture 3 but NOT cs4!!
I was hoping that this way round I would avoid some of the problems others have experienced. I use a Canon plugin for Photoshop, printing on a Canon with updated drivers iPF6100 and use only the paper canned profiles from Hahnemuhle etc etc. I have not found the need to make profiles.
I use Eizo monitors and calibration software updated.
So far this works very reliably.
Maybe I should try Aperture upgrade only
Any thoughts
Regards
Hmmm. A lot of questions.
We'll all have to go to Snow Leopard sometime soon, it's just a question of time.
My own upgrade strategy is to have an internal 'mirror' of my hard-disk (or a partition) and upgrade that (or do a clean install and use Migration Assistant to migrate across). That way you have a working system to go back to (on another internal drive) - should any problems arise; and you can test each part of your system bit by bit without compromising your ability to carry-on working. In this way you can eliminate potential problems with the software and printer you mention above, one by one.
I've just bought a Macbook Pro (what a wonderful machine !) with Snow Leopard 10.6.2 and am gradually testing it for compatibility. So far so good. It's been a very smooth transition with all working as required (crosses fingers). The new printer interface is a delight to use (much simpler and less user-error prone !).
I hope this helps.
