7.5. Adobe [your favorite program here]

If anyone has jumped onto the Mac OS X bandwagon, it's Adobe, which reflects the massive size of its customers in the graphic arts business.

Note: One notable exception is Premier, an Adobe video-editing program that's only available for Windows. The closest Mac equivalent is Final Cut Pro, a $1,000 program made by Apple. (If you're coming from Premier Elements , the closest equivalent is Final Cut Express , which is only $300.) Or you may find that the newly beefed-up iMovie HD program (free on all Macs; see Section 14.12) handles all the video editing you need.
