Good news to those of you who have purchased Adobe Creative Suite 4, Adobe is now shipping Creative Suite 4 today ( October 15, 2008 ). This is also semi-good news for people who want to download a trial copy of Dreamweaver, Fireworks, or any other product in Creative Suite 4 as Adobe is hopefully closer to making trial downloads available. As mentioned before:
I think it is about time I upgrade my older versions of Dreamweaver and Fireworks to the latest releases, but I would like to download a trial version before I spend $400 on the upgrades.
According to the Adobe Press Release on Adobe Creative Suite 4 Shipping:
“Customers can choose from six new versions: Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium, Design Standard, Web Premium, Web Standard, Production Premium and Master Collection. The combination of Creative Suite and the new capabilities of Adobe Flash® Player 10, also available today (see separate press release) deliver new levels of creativity and expressiveness across media channels. Designers using the Adobe Creative Suite 4 product family will gain unprecedented creative control using the new expressive features and visual performance improvements in Adobe Flash Player 10 to deliver breakthrough Web experiences across multiple browsers and operating systems.
“Creative Suite 4 and Flash Player 10 introduce vital time-saving features, new levels of integration and the jawdropping innovations our design and developer customers expect from us,” said John Loiacono, senior vice president, Creative Solutions Business Unit at Adobe. “CS4 continues to fulfill our promise to customers to break down more barriers in cross-media workflows, while also providing new services and collaboration tools that help them manage complex client demands.”
As part of the CS4 product launch, the largest in Adobe’s history, also available today are brand new versions of Photoshop® CS4, Photoshop CS4 Extended, InDesign® CS4, Illustrator® CS4, Flash CS4 Professional, Dreamweaver® CS4, Fireworks® CS4, Contribute® CS4, After Effects® CS4, Adobe Premiere® Pro CS4, Encore® CS4, Soundbooth® CS4 and Adobe OnLocation™ CS4.“
Sounds interesting. Now we just needs those trial downloads :)
