Upgraded to Leopard

So I upgraded from Tiger to Leopard and now Photoshop 7 no longer works (known issue) so what do I do now?

I didn't much use it anyway since it didn't open RAW files so I had to buy something else - Lightroom, which I mostly use instead except it's incapable of further editing. I think I've supported Adobe long enough given the high cost of their products - £175.00 to upgrade from 7.0 to CS3 is a rip-off too far this time. I can get the job done with other products some free, some cheap but which should I invest my time in? Is it time to jump ship to Apple's Aperture instead for at least part of my work flow?

Buy aperture, call adobe (i had trouble with cs2 and they linked me to a file that got me sorted), if that doesen't get it sorted, go shopping for a wacom tablet, and load up the free photoshop elements, you probably won't ever miss photoshop. I opened the full photoshop 3 times in the last five months (some of my work, as you know is heavily altered art work) and elements is up to it!
Leopard ROCKS! I run multiple macs and the screen shaing thing is amazing!

the few times i've opened it was working on transparent gifs for web and video, have a nice "Action" for that.
Fired many shots. Didn't kill anything.

Thanks Don,

Yes Leopard is nice! I will probably reload PS7 on to a second HD with Tiger installed so that I can dual boot if I really need PS. I would like to just drop Adobe now for home use although I did consider Elements.
