No Support from Adobe for CS3 on Mac OS 10.6
According to this article on AppleInsider.com, Adobe will not be providing support for Photoshop CS3 (or earlier versions) for Mac OS 10.6, Snow Leopard, which is scheduled to be released Friday, August 28th.
What does this mean? According to Adobe, "You may therefore experience a variety of installation, stability, and reliability issues for which there is no resolution. Older versions of our creative software will not be updated to support Mac OS X Snow Leopard (v10.6)."
Our advice for CS3 users: don't pay the $29 to upgrade to Snow Leopard unless you're also ready to shell out $699 to upgrade to CS4.
Update: From the recent post on John Nack's blog (Principal Product Manager, Adobe Photoshop), CS3 has been tested on 10.6 and it "works fine." If you run into major trouble you'd probably still have to upgrade, but at least they've tested it.

A little birdie tells me that CS3 may continue to work with a few issues (mostly plugins), CS2 and CS are a no-go (PowerPC code, for which there is no support in Snow Leopard)
Thanks for the notice!
