Adobe will demonstrate its Production Studio software for the Macintosh operating system at the Macworld 2007 Conference and Exhibition in San Francisco January 9 to 12, the company said Thursday.

The new software suite includes Adobe's After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, Encore DVD and Soundbooth, and will be available for Intel-based computers from Apple in mid-2007, Adobe said. It is the first time the complete suite has been produced for the Mac OS X operating system. An updated version of the Windows suite will ship at the same time.

The company did not announce pricing for either version. It said that Premiere Pro, Encore DVD, and Soundbooth will also be available for Intel-based Apple computers. A beta version of Soundbooth for Mac OS X is currently available for free download.

it sounds good. i was thinking of changing to mac for various reasons in the next few months or even year. this would mean an excuse for a new computer and it just seems like the right time to get the software also.
