Title: Why are adobe's apps getting bigger?
Post by: Daddy on December 08, 2008, 04:53:38 PM
I found where adobe puts its licenses for apps on OS X and now can delete them and reinstall the app when my trial expires.  akudood;

Before I had CS3, now I see CS4 and the apps are even larger. WHY?!

Because Adobe doesn't understand the term "Lightweight App".

If you want a lightweight app, get Photoshop Elements. Or Paint. :l

They're for power users, not for stupid pirating teens that need to paste someone's head on an animal's body using the magnetic lasso tool.

Why is it that other companies(apple) can slim down their apps while adding functionality while adobe just bloats them?  akudood;

Name one piece of software that got smaller. Microsoft Office got larger, iWork got larger, Final Cut got larger, and many more.

I don't know where you've been.

Maybe because they finally realized that a 287MB mail program is just a little obscene.

It's not a Flash program. It's a program that creates Flash. |:

Anyway, my Flash CS4 is 884MB. Gigantic, yes. But still chump change for people in their intended market.
