Adobe Product Users May Wish to Avoid OS X Lion

Since Apple released OS X Lion to the general public yesterday, it’s already gotten more than 7,000 five-star ratings in the App Store. In contrast to this positive response, Adobe has released a list of issues with Adobe products on machines running Lion. One such issue is that Apple may have disabled Flash hardware acceleration. In some cases Adobe offers suggestions of how to change Lion settings to better work with Adobe devotees’ expectations of product performance, but in other cases Adobe simply recommends that users do not update to OS X Lion. Many of the issues are small but obnoxiously annoying for anyone who uses the affected feature frequently, such as droplets not working in Photoshop CS3-CS5.
