Now if they had screwed up backward compatibility of "standard" file
formats
such as Tiff, EPS, etc. then that would be another story but i don't
think
that's what I'm hearing.
well, my problem is not with Adobe's native format. that i could absolutely
understand. We get a lot of submissions as JPEGs, as we are working with
photojournalists all over the world working with all kinds of slow internet
connections. Although JPEG is not the most desirable format, it is a
good compromise for neworthy material. I have a hard time being OK with
the fact that i can not read a JPEG generated in 6.0 in 5.5. And before
you go on wondering if this might just be a bug in the particular
configuration
of the machine i am working on, a sample of this problem was sent to
another proffessional user who had access to both versions and he also
could not read the 6.0 files in 5.5.
JPEG files created in Photoshop 6 are no different from those created
in Photoshop 5.
And they work with older versions of Photoshop without any problems.
PSD files created by Photoshop 6 can contain data for new features
that 5.x doesn't understand -- but that just means loosing layer
styles or using rasterized text. Most of the document is still
usable.
The only problem I can think of would be TIFF files saved with
options new to Photoshop 6, and which Photoshop 5.5 cannot. There is
no way around that short of turning off those features when saving
the TIFF file.
