No 64bit Photoshop CS4?

According to Adobe, CS4 will be available in 64bit for Windows but not for OSX.

If I read this correctly, it looks like CS3 isn't fully native after all.

EDIT: CS5 will apparently be available in 64bit versions for both operating systems. I wonder when Macs will start to ship with 64bit OSX?

I think it already is ...

# 64-Bit Applications

Make use of all your existing devices. Leopard is the first mainstream operating system to completely and seamlessly support both 32-bit and 64-bit applications on the same platform.

I remembered reading something like this just after posting. OSX has the 64bit stuff in already. The reason why I had doubts is because last time I tried I couldn't get VMware to run a 64bit guest - I guess there was a problem with that particular build, since I've updated it in the meantime and it works now.

I did some further checks:

# file /usr/lib/libc.dylib 
/usr/lib/libc.dylib: Mach-O universal binary with 4 architectures
/usr/lib/libc.dylib (for architecture ppc7400): Mach-O dynamically linked shared library ppc
/usr/lib/libc.dylib (for architecture ppc64):   Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library ppc64
/usr/lib/libc.dylib (for architecture i386):    Mach-O dynamically linked shared library i386
/usr/lib/libc.dylib (for architecture x86_64):  Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library x86_64

So 64bit base is there. But it looks like all the software shipped with it is 32bit:

# file /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari 
Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures
Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari (for architecture i386):  Mach-O executable i386
Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari (for architecture ppc7400):       Mach-O executable ppc

One that I would have expected would make sense to ship as 64bit:

# file /Applications/iMovie.app/Contents/MacOS/iMovie 
iMovie.app/Contents/MacOS/iMovie: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures
iMovie.app/Contents/MacOS/iMovie (for architecture ppc):        Mach-O executable ppc
iMovie.app/Contents/MacOS/iMovie (for architecture i386):       Mach-O executable i386

Seems like a easy way to tell what 64-bit apps you might have installed

In terminal.app

# For Intel:
locate -0 app/Contents/MacOS/ | xargs -0 file | grep x86_64

# For PowerPC:

locate -0 app/Contents/MacOS/ | xargs -0 file | grep ppc64

# locate -0 app/Contents/MacOS/ | xargs -0 file | grep x86_64
/Applications/Chess.app/Contents/MacOS/Chess (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64
/Developer/Applications/Audio/AU Lab.app/Contents/MacOS/AU Lab (for architecture x86_64):       Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64
/Developer/Applications/Quartz Composer.app/Contents/Runtimes/QCPlayer.app/Contents/MacOS/QCPlayer (for architecture x86_64):   Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64
/Developer/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/MacOS/Xcode (for architecture x86_64):       Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64
/System/Library/Image Capture/Devices/TWAINBridge.app/Contents/MacOS/TWAINBridge (for architecture x86_64):     Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64

A little disappionting, really.

blame the developers I guess. Going to take a while for them to make the switch.

Look how long it took Adobe to go universal.

I was really expecting Apple to at least get their big media apps there already. Aperture 2.x for example.
