As I'm sure you know, development and porting costs are only a small fraction of the "cost" of an Amiga version of PhotoShop. I've examined their plug-in specification, so I can assure you that they have a portable scheme for moving their code from place to place. Subsequent costs of sales, marketing, advertising, manual printing, new boxes, etc. will far exceed the cost of the port. If they can't expect a return on investment, they won't do it. Not to mention that I doubt they'd let their code out-of-house, or that they wouldn't want to distract their developers from the SGI and PowerPC versions of PhotoShop. Even if all this came true, there's no way the sales figures of the Amiga version would come anywhere near the sales (and ROI) of their other platforms. (And I won't even get into piracy. 🙂
