Adobe’s Creative Suite
Comments: 5
MacCentral has an article on Adobe’s soon to be released Creative Suite — a range of updates to Photoshop, ImageReady, Illustrator, GoLive, InDesign & Acrobat. Despite being a regurgitation of PR material, it’s worth a look for a glimpse at some of the new features (not to mention pricing). Should be an interesting release, to say the least.
Update: Vincent Brockaert has a Photoshop CS review of sorts on dpreview.com looking at the new features from a digital photographers point of view.

Good grief! “Never mind the features, let’s see who can come up with the most nonsensical version suffix for their software” :-)
I suppose I’ll be looking forward to Photoshop CS 2005, at this rate. Assuming there is enough new and useful stuff to justify upgrading, that is…

Alan —- It seems like such a rickety bandwagon to jump on. What on earth was wrong with “Photoshop 8”…? Oh, right. The marketing guys vetoed it.
I can understand that Adobe might have wanted to go with “CS” for everything to emphasise the increased integration among the products, but these are high-end apps targetted at professional users (for the most part) who already know damn well the strengths and limits of each app separately and together.
Photoshop CS 2005, here we come.

Stupid stupid stupid.
Stick with the numbers, folks.
CS… now how will we track incremental upgrades in the products? Or will there even be incremental upgrades?

wait until the industry gets into “utility computing” (subscription like software purchase) …. this might come sooner than you think.
haven’t tried cs yet.

Adobe’s activation scheme was mentioned recently on MacInTouch, although not in any depth. (I don’t follow Windows news so not sure what the differences will be, but the activation schemes are not identical.)
Let’s just hope installing Adobe apps never descends to Quark levels.
