Just wanted to update this thread, as I just yesterday made the leap to Leopard. Finally got off the aging G4 on to a nice new Mac Pro. I had some reserbvations from this thread, as well as the InDesign issues some users are experiencing.
So far, I have had none of the Wacom issues when using Photoshop – all has been working as expected. And I used the OS X Migration Assistant, moving from the PPC G4 on 10.4 to 10.5 on the Mac Pro. Risky, but I thought I would trust Apple.
I did have issues with CS3 – first InDesign had some horrible bug that wouldn’t let it launch. Adobe’s installer sucks – even if you select a single app to uninstall, it just reinstalls all of CS3 anyways. Frustrating. Then AI wouldn’t upgrade, so I just did a Remove using the installer of the entire Creative Suite. I reinstalled everything but Version Cue, ran all the updates, and now all seems good so far. Not much real-world usage, but enough to know the Intuos3 isn’t having lag or chunky brushstroke issues.
After the Remove/Re-install, I did no manual tweaking to settings at all. I suppose my rambling point here is to suggest perhaps doing a Remove/Re-install of CS3, although I was not seeing these issues before doing so. I just know it fixed some other issues I was having with other apps, and the clean CS3 install seemed to have cleared those things up.
The only downside would be having to use Adobe’s horrible instasller – man was that thing making me frustrated on top of already being annoyed.
