What would you like Deke to do?

I am running on an iMac with OS 10.5.6.
I had purchased and have been using the ENTIRE CS3 extended, and recently bought CS4 Photoshop and Illustrator. Those are the programs that I require for my illustrations. I wanted to enable Color Management within the Bridge, to ensure my color consistency between Illustrator and Photoshop. With CS4, documents seem to be "untagged" and color is not consistent

In CS3, the Bridge preferences presided over this management.
In the CS4 Bridge >Edit Color Suite Settings, I get a dialogue that says:
"Suite Color Management is not enabled. Suite Color Management requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature." Both of my new CS4 programs are in use.
I looked on Adobe forums online, and someone running Win XP asked the same question, and this was the reply: "Sorry, "Suite Color Setting" is only available via Suite."

I don't really understand this terse answer, but PLEASE don't tell me that as a designer and illustrator, the ONLY way to get consistency between Illustrator and Photoshop is to purchase the entire suite, featuring many programs I don't NEED or use.

This is just WRONG to find out I CANNOT color manage anymore !
Please do not reply with a 9 word answer. There simply MUST be a way to coordinate color for someone who does not need ALL programs.

Help, anyone. I would like to develope a new career involving web and or graphic design. Currently I work as printer and would like to move into the computer end of printing. I would like to know what programs to learn first.Also, do I attend local colleges or are online courses just as effective(like Lynda) . Is it worth pursuing this type of career now that I am in my mid-forties. Is this a kids game? Anyone with a similiar situation please let me know what I;m in for. I'll be checking out the comment board for your help, Thanks everyone. Chris

I just purchased the Photoshop CS4 one on one book with disk, and the disk is broken. How do I get a replacement disk??

Thanks

Ok, so my first experience with you was Lynda.coms PS CS3 one to one video.

Ive just grabbed the CS4 Illustrator essential training vid and realised theres some other dude talking to me about CS4. "Ok", i thought, "lets see what this guy had to offer". Now im sure hes a lovely guy, he looked like he'd be fun around a bbq, poker night, whatever... but seriously, when it comes to tutorials... The ellipsis says it all.

I dont want to appear rude, the tutorial was clear and concise but devoid of any personality. I mean, its almost like the guy had a stick somewhere uncomfortable (trust me, im British, i know about sticks and... ok, too much info).

So Deke, please make more videos, infact make more photoshop videos, and when youre done, make CS4 Illustrator videos and then take over the entire Adobe range from Lynda.com. Failing that, please take the other tutors out for a drink once in a while.

Kind Regards, Mark.

PS: Especially hoping you'll be at the controls for the PS CS4 extended (3d tutorials etc). Dont make me send a bottle of scotch over.

When I go to itunes and play new and older podcasts of your stuff, the screen is broken up or scrambled. This is true on PC at work or on my personal Mac at home. Is the new quicktime not able play old or current ones properly? Just a guess.
