![]() Mac Pro 2006 (MP): 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Xeon, 11GB RAM, 7200 RPM internal HD Test MacsĪll my observations are based off the results of running Adobe CS6 (and CS5) on two Macs, both running OS X Lion 10.7.4: I’ve not run any benchmarks or other timed processes, just real-world “eye-ball” tests. It should be noted that, with the exception of the launch-time chart below, these are my opinions based on very unscientific testing. I’ve been using Creative Suite Design Premium for a few weeks now, and have collected my thoughts and observations about CS6 regarding speed. Creative Suite 6 follows that trend for the most part, and that makes it a bit easier to compare the speed of the apps between CS5 and CS6. With all the major Adobe Creative Suite apps being fairly mature in their lifecycle, new marquee features have taken a back seat to minor tweaks, small feature additions, bug fixes, and speed improvements. With every release of the Adobe Creative Suite apps, one of the first questions always seems to be “is it faster?” Whether you use Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator or Flash, you probably crave improved speed almost as much as new features. You can search for images and add comp images to your layout, but you must have an iStockPhoto account to use lightboxes and purchase images. Installation is simple, as the plugin is installed for all three apps via the Adobe Extension Manager. ![]() IStockPhoto has released the iStockPhoto Plugin for InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator that adds a Panel to all three apps which allows you to search for images, view the images, create and view light boxes, and place a comp image directly into your file, and purchase the image – all without ever leaving the Adobe application. ![]() Thankfully, you can with this nifty plugin. It would be so great if you could do it right inside InDesign, Photoshop or Illustrator without using a browser. Switching between my InDesign layout and Safari to compare the images on the website to the layout to see if the image is appropriate can be tedious – especially when you consider the time to download and place the comp images. One of the sites I spend the most time on is iStockPhoto due to its large selection of images and relatively low cost. I spend a lot of time searching for stock photography. ![]()
