With the release of Photoshop Elements 4.0 this week for windows, the Macintosh community was concerned that they were being left behind. Today, Adobe told them that the new version is in development and will be released at a later date.

From MacWorld:

Earlier this week, Adobe Systems Inc. released Photoshop Elements 4, but the new version was for Windows only. With no mention of a new Mac version, some speculated that the company may be phasing out the Mac product, but Adobe said on Thursday that is definitely not happening.

Unlike professionals, consumers who typically purchase products like Photoshop Elements don’t work collaboratively, so simultaneous releases are not as important.

“This reality gives Adobe the opportunity to balance our resources differently for our consumer products, while still delivering the right products at the right time,” said Adobe’s spokesperson.

While Adobe said that its Windows version of Elements did have more sales than the Mac version, the company said they are still committed to the Macintosh community.
