Does anyone have a guess when a new, full Photoshop suite (CS6?) might be released?

You know, I gotta say. I generally tend to prefer tools like Acorn, that are much cheaper (and not from Adobe), don't take half an hour to start up and do everything I need, but man. Collages! Let me get my credit card.

What doesn't it have in it that it should that Acorn or Pixelmator does. Lets see a comparison before I buy it. Some of the tools in PSE 9 did'nt work correctly and on my Mac it would'nt shut down correctly even after badgering Adobe to fix the problem for more than a year they still haven't.

To me, it looks as if Photoshop elements has a very strong set of photo editing abilities (that mentioned focusing on, and recognition of, specific objects in a photo, with "suggested edits"), plus its "organizer" which intelligently picks up not only duplicate scenes but also duplicate faces: these aren't present in Pixelmator.

But, in Pixelmator, I have the ability strongly to select and edit even non-photo files. I use it to edit (and export) files for my website. I often use it to select and create abstract images (drawings, signs, icons, etc.) for my website. These, I do, with ease in Pixelmator.

I have no experience with Acorn, so, I can't say.

Can it be installed on a case-sensitive OS X system? I haven't heard if Adobe has fixed that serious install problem.

How does Organizer handle thousands of images? The last version became so slow and cumbersome with a couple thousand photos in the library that it was unusable. I ended up buying Aperture

I'd buy it if it were 64-bit. But alas, it's only 64-bit in Windows...boo!

Glad I read this as I thought I was the only one with the problem. I got tired of sending in the report to Adobe of the suposed crash when I shut it down properly. Obvious that Adobe does not read these crash reports or they would have fixed it.

Same here - It failed to import from iPhoto as it was suppose to so I exported manually.
Then after I got a few thousand pictures into the Organizer it became unusable. I reported it to Adobe right away.

Now I know why Steve Jobs says Adobe is lazy.
I don't think they could fix a flashlight.

Glad to know it wasn't just me! I mean, did they even test it?

Not true...

The window for Adobe Photoshop CS6 is known.

They're giving a lot more information than they used to in this regard.
