Adobe Creative Suite Shipping!


With new versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and GoLive, this is one new software suite that's hard to ignore. Some major changes may be worth the money for some users. The suite is available in two variations, with a file management/versioning tool called Version Cue intended to help glue these packages together. Upgrades from Photoshop to the suite start at just $549, but read the license carefully. Some upgrades won't allow you to upgrade individual products in the future. All in all, it seems like CS will be a success with many enhancements.
