Irritations with Photoshop Elements
PE 2.0 doesn't work in Leopard. This sucks.
So I go to Adobe's online store. PE 4.0 is available! It can be bought online and downloaded! Yay!
Weirdness number 1: PE6 is the current Windows version. PE4 isn't even really "supported" for Leopard (but some Googling indicates it'll work, so whatever.)
Weirdness number 2: The full price for PE4 -- today, at least -- is $5 less than the upgrade price. Oh, Adobe. Why are you so crazy about your upgrade prices? Whatever -- full version emboughtened.
Weirdness number 3: I literally just bought this 10 minutes ago -- why did you let me download 4.0 instead of 4.0.1? Why am I going through an updating process that's taking as long as the original download?
Oh, the hate -- it makes me powerful.
I woulda used Pixelmator, but it (a) crashed when I tried to open several images and (b) doesn't seem to have a magnetic lasso. The magnetic lasso is all I care about people. It's. All. I. Care. About.

That's good to know. We've been debating on when to upgrade Melissa's MacBook to Leopard, and I'm pretty sure she has PE installed on it (though I don't see the box in our cupboard full 'o software).
I've run into that with other Mac software lately. I think it was when I downloaded the iWork 08 trial the other day. It, too, had to be updated after installation. WTF?

Well, first, how dare they release software that might, in any way, require an update! It should be perfect right out of the gate!
Speaking of which, I'm really quite impressed with iWork '08. Can you share what sort of involvement you have in that project? I've not seen many posts about it lately...
