Since I am about to buy Photoshop, I was wondering if I should wait until I get an Apple Powerbook or buy it now for my PC. My main reason to wonder this is because I've heard that graphic design is better on Mac. Also, I just increased in rank! I'm 1/3 of the way to getting a custom ranking.

I just increased rank as well. I'm higher than you, hurrah. Wow I'm so off topic. Mac sucks.

Oh, and also... If you are getting a Mac anyway, why not just wait to get PhotoShop? It wouldn't make sense if you are planning on getting a Mac soon and you go buy Photoshop for a PC.

My friend is heavy into Photoshop and he uses it both on the Macs at school and on my PC. Hes told me that the short cut keys on the PCs are more complicated on PC then on the Mac version (as in more buttons in a combo in PC then mac) *shrugs*.

If memory serves me correctly (it's been about a year since I used PS on a PC) you can change the shortcut keys to whatever you want. But you can't export the settings which makes a pain if you have to reformat.

I know that the Mac architecture is designed with the graphics professional in mind, but I prefer PC. I have respect for the Mac, and I love its design and some of their concepts. I've used both extensively, but my personal taste is on a Windows-based machine. I like the flow better on the PC than on a Mac. I also use shortcuts all the time, and I don't like having to move my hand (pinky finger) to an unfamiliar location to press the Apple key instead of the Ctrl key. Another reason is that when I do graphics, I use 3dsmax as well as PhotoShop, and 3dsmax is a Windows only program. PS7's colour settings for PC is is fine for my use. As for monitor size, resolution is the big thing you want. I have a few monitors that I design on. One is my laptop's 15" LCD. Great contrast, but res. only goes up to 1024. Working on smaller web images is fine. Working on websites, well, I've gotten use to it, and I can setup PS to work fine. Working on video production and 3dsmax is a different story. I prefer to use the 17" CRT (NEC MultiSync FE700+) as I need resolution over contrast. Hope this helps...and gl. I want a PowerBook...and a Dual Xeon for that matter...

Graphic design is better on Mac's then it is on windows. I've used both and Mac's do a better job and are faster at rendering filters and 3D animation. I have Adobe Creative suite 2 Premium for both windows and mac so I know what I'm talking about

I got Photoshop on both of them. Downloaded the one for Mac and bought an older version for PC, and then upgraded to CS.
