The ‘Update Frenzy Era’ we live in leads us to constantly ‘drop bits’ along the way. Unfortunately, Adobe has grown to a point where it doesn’t seem bothered by ‘details’ — such as usefulness that for some years no longer works on its ‘Acrobat Pro’ solution. The company that helps us appreciate the importance of what a pixel (or point of a pica, for those who still — actually — remember that) means is unable to maintain its functionality during the evolutionary processes of other technology companies. I miss the golden days of ‘Adobe Type Manager’ and what else was around it. However, InDesign is undoubtedly the best thing ever developed since Mergenthaler’s invention (by the way, I liked ‘Ventura Publisher’ much more than the flexibility of PageMaker, and PhotoStyler was certainly better than Photoshop). Why can’t something as simple as “screen transition” work, well, on a macOS system?
