I have hesitated about joining in this discussion because most of it is above my head about the complexity of CMYK colours but as it affects my small business I thought I should get my 2 pence in.
Like Sheffield I jink in and out programmes to get the output I need for printing and at the moment I have two programmes which I use for the job, XaraX and Acrobat, with small help from CorelDraw and Photoshop. If anything was to happen with the first two I would be lost, I would need to relearn again.
What Charles was saying in his second reply was very heartning to hear "supporting PSD files with layers, better Illustrator compatibility, SVG export" I would be a very happy person as it would reduce at least one step in getting output to the printers.
Maybe I am not being hyper critical with the stuff I send to the printers but it comes back just about the way I want. Because that I have been very happy using XX and Acrobat I voted to get the bugs out of the version we have at the moment but I would be more than happy to pay for an upgrade that has PDF PSD support.
Design is thinking made visual.
