October 27, 2003
San Jose, CA - Adobe Systems is now shipping Adobe Creative Suite. Adobe Creative Suite combines new full-version upgrades of the company's market-leading creative professional software - Adobe Photoshop CS, Adobe Illustrator CS, Adobe InDesign CS, and Adobe GoLive CS.
Adobe Creative Suite for Mac OS X 10.2.4, Microsoft Windows 2000 with Service Pack 2, and Windows XP Professional and Home Edition, is available for purchase today in the United States and Canada.
It also incorporates Acrobat 6.0 Professional, and introduces the innovative Version Cue file version manager. The all-new Adobe Creative Suite is a complete design environment that gives today' s creative professionals everything they need to create and publish content to print and the Web faster, more easily, and more efficiently than ever, the company describes.
Adobe will announce shipment of new full-version upgrades of its market-leading creative applications later this week. Photoshop CS, the feature-packed successor to the highly popular Photoshop 7, will soon be available along with Illustrator CS, InDesign CS and GoLive CS - all already hailed as significant enhancements on previous versions.
Instead of traditional version numbers, Adobe is now using "CS" to identify these new versions, it says, in order to better reflect the deep level of integration between its creative tools. Pricing and complete product information for Photoshop CS, Illustrator CS, InDesign CS and GoLive CS can be found at the company’s website.
Adobe Creative Suite Premium Edition integrates essential Adobe applications, relied on by millions of creative professionals: Photoshop CS with Adobe ImageReady CS, Illustrator CS, InDesign CS and GoLive CS, all brought together with Version Cue. To support the important role Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) has in modern Web and print production workflows, Acrobat 6.0 Professional also is a component of the Adobe Creative Suite.
Adobe Creative Suite is anchored by Version Cue, an innovative file management system that allows designers to increase productivity and meet tight deadlines. Whether designers, working alone or in teams, are looking for the most recent iteration of a file or for an older version, Version Cue enables users to visually scan image thumbnails in Photoshop CS, Illustrator CS, InDesign CS, and GoLive CS, or search metadata across version comments, keywords, author, date, and more.
A Standard Edition of Adobe Creative Suite also is available; it combines these same components, except for GoLive CS and Acrobat 6.0 Professional, to provide an advanced solution for print design and layout.
To help creative professionals get the most out of Adobe Creative Suite, the company also unveiled a redesigned Adobe Studio site to provide the ultimate resource for in-depth tips, cutting-edge tools, convenient services and an online community committed to furthering the craft of design.
