On the MP however, the speed is about the same as CS5: A bit choppy in some areas, and an improvement in others. Thankfully, InDesign on the MBA is a real pleasure to use. Because I spend the majority of my time working on page layout, InDesign’s speed is important to me. They aren’t sexy, but those are the things you do the most with InDesign files. InDesign CS6 performs better than CS5 in scrolling, object/text creation, dragging objects, page navigation, importing/exporting, and saving files. I was extremely pleased to find this, as the CS upgrades the last few years have been spotty when it comes to speed – sometimes it got better, sometimes it took a step back. Overall, an Apples-to-Apples comparison of CS5 and CS6 on the MBA show that CS6 runs smoother than CS5 in virtually all areas. As a side note: How obnoxious is Flash with those launch times… sheesh! Real-World Use While launch times aren’t as important as they used to be, they are an indication of things to come. The first launch after a restart always takes longer than subsequent launches, so the longer times on first launch are no surprise.Īs you can see above, launch times are greatly reduced on my SSD-equipped MBA, particularly the first launch.

The exception being Acrobat Pro X, which launched near instantly on both Macs. But I do still value the time (or lack of it) that it takes to launch apps.īelow is a comparison of the first launch and second launch times of the CS6 Design Premium apps after a restart. At any given time, I’ve got ID, PS, Bridge & Acrobat running. I’m the type that tends to leave apps open. I’ll cut to the chase right now everything you do with CS6 Design Premium is going to be faster on an SSD-equipped Mac, even if the remaining specs of the other Mac are greater. This is important to remember, because much of what you do in any CS app involves reading and writing to the storage drive on your Mac. Because my MP has three times the RAM and much more powerful processors, the only explanation is the SSD drive in the MBA.

However the difference in install times between the two Macs was dramatic, as you can see in the chart above. Installation took noticeably less time than Creative Suite 5 did on both the MP and the MBA – you no longer have the luxury of running out to lunch while CS installs. This is important to remember, and you’ll see why below.
So I installed CS6 from the mounted disc image on my hard drive.
ADOBE DRIVE CS 6 DOWNLOAD
I chose the download option for CS6, rather than the boxed DVD collection. MacBook Air 2011 (MBA): 1.7 GHz Core i5, 4GB RAM, SSD Installation Mac Pro 2006 (MP): 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Xeon, 11GB RAM, 7200 RPM internal HD Test MacsĪll my observations are based off the results of running Adobe CS6 (and CS5) on two Macs, both running OS X Lion 10.7.4: I’ve not run any benchmarks or other timed processes, just real-world “eye-ball” tests. It should be noted that, with the exception of the launch-time chart below, these are my opinions based on very unscientific testing. I’ve been using Creative Suite Design Premium for a few weeks now, and have collected my thoughts and observations about CS6 regarding speed. Creative Suite 6 follows that trend for the most part, and that makes it a bit easier to compare the speed of the apps between CS5 and CS6. With all the major Adobe Creative Suite apps being fairly mature in their lifecycle, new marquee features have taken a back seat to minor tweaks, small feature additions, bug fixes, and speed improvements. Shouldn't have to trash perfectly usable software.With every release of the Adobe Creative Suite apps, one of the first questions always seems to be “is it faster?” Whether you use Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator or Flash, you probably crave improved speed almost as much as new features.

I've been updating any Adobe Support Community I run across with this info so others can continue to use the software that they paid for.
ADOBE DRIVE CS 6 UPDATE
Otherwise its impossible to update all CS6 apps. I'd also rename the Application Manager file from PDApp.exe to after installing all the updates as its not needed anymore as it's not likely Adobe will be updating CS6 ever.ĪpplicationManager6.2_all.exe should be available for all those that have a perpetual license. If you can download all the updates manually it's best to manually update them all offline. It's also best to install CS6 offline, no internet, till after you install the version 6.2 of Applicaiton Manager. If you do you'll have to uninstall CS6 and scrub the leftover folders (delete) and start over. Do not allow it, Application Manager, to update itself to a new version. Just have to search for it.Īfter you install CS6 MC you will need the above patchfile to install all the other updates manually or online. The most important update is ApplicationManager6.2_all.exe Also available on the web.
I was able to get all the updates for CS6 MC on the web via third party sites.
