Adobe reveals its Creative Suite Software
Adobe Systems several days ago unveiled more details about the new software that are going to entertain graphics and Web.
The company has created six different versions of Creative Suite 3 aimed at specific customer segments, said Caleb Belohlavek, Adobe Creative Suite group manager. The targeted designer groups are: print and publication designers, Web designers, and video designers, he said. The company also has created a comprehensive suite that includes all of the products.
"Creative professionals are being challenged to create in a variety of media formats," he said. "They're being challenged to create content via print, Web, mobile, video, etc., and that's really what this launch is about: bringing together Adobe and Macromedia to break down barriers as they work across different products."
Creative Suite 3 for the first time combines the Adobe and Macromedia products. Adobe also replaced its GoLive Web design product with Dreamweaver in the versions of Creative Suite 3 that include a Web design tool because customers said they preferred the former Macromedia tool, Belohlavek said. Adobe still will update GoLive as a standalone product.
Adobe has created Creative Suite 3 Design Premium and Creative Suite 3 Design Standard.
Design Premium includes new versions of: Adobe InDesign, Adobe Photoshop Extended, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional, Adobe Flash Professional and Adobe Dreamweaver. It also includes Adobe Bridge, Adobe Acrobat Connect, Adobe Stock Photos, Adobe Version Cue and Adobe Device Central, a new emulation tool that lets designers demonstrate how mobile applications will look and perform on a variety of mobile devices.
Adobe expects the print and Web editions of Creative Suite 3 to be available in April or May, with Creative Suite Product Premium and Master Collection to follow about 90 days after, sometime in the third quarter. Pricing information is available on Adobe's Web site.
