leading software in every way.
But the upgrade price is really wild.
Rating: 4 / 5
This is the industry standard for desktop publishing and all kind of desinging. Highly recommended.

This suite of design applications is fantastic. The InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop parts are worth the price alone, but then you get Dreamweaver, Flash and Acrobat are added to complete to cornucopia of treasures.
Try it, Mikey, you will like it!

I am a Web developer and Graphic designer so this CS4 package is perfect for me. the whole family of software engages with each other and makes my life easier. Few new features require getting use-to, but thats the way whenever you upgrade. Good combinations, easy to install, free Lynda learning DVD and cheap upgrade for all the software it offers.

Lots of great updates in this release.
Bridge has gone from a product I never even opened in CS3 to a program I use even more than the Finder is CS4 (when searching Adobe files.) I have two major gripes still. Bridge’s smart collections are painfully slow where smart folders in the finder are very fast. Also Bridge is unable to detect Photoshop files that are located in the iPhoto library. Bridge can find other formats from with in iPhoto library just not Photoshop. Unfortunately that is the format I primarily use.
Flash currently crashes for me whenever I make a symbol so I haven’t been able to use it much at all. That being said that are making great steps to simplifying the interface. Action Script is still unnecessarily complicated.
Illustrator has multiple artboards like FreeHand did except it works a lot better. You can now also bring in most FreeHand files fully intact since both software contains pages now. The blob brush is great. As a long time FreeHand fan I like on they seem to be making Illustrator functions easier like FreeHand but with more powerful features.
I see two problems with Illustrator. One is that they put the rotating canvas feature in PhotoShop but left it out of where it was really needed which is in Illustrator. The other is that I find it much harder to do a simple eye dropper sample in Illustrator than FreeHand especially when applying a color’s stroke to another objects fill or a fill to another objects stroke.
Fireworks is an ok upgrade but didn’t build on pages feature from CS3 like was badly needed. Fireworks needs to work more like InDesign for the web but it’s layout features are stuck in the 80s. No multiple master pages, no basing one one page on top of another. No linking images so that you can have quick access to altering the image like how you can option like images in InDesign. Their is a lot more that I am not thinking of at the moment.
Dreamweaver is really a developer tool it’s not that geared towards designing like they say it is.
Acrobat seem like it would be useful way to interact with clients but do all my clients have to go out and buy a really expensive piece of software in order to do that? I don’t see any of my clients doing that therefore I don’t see how it could be of much use to me.
I like how photoshops editing features are on the side of the screen rather than cover up the image like in CS3, that’s a nice touch.
Camera Raw is almost identical to CS3. I hope they keep releasing new features for it like they did through CS3′s life time.
InDesign is great. The new preflighting really helps. Now they need to bring Indesign’s features over to Fireworks so that I can use the same powerful features inside of a web layout program.
One of the best features of all is having support for the PowerMac G5 which is still a very very fast computer today. I see absolutely nothing I need to a new Intel computer and there is no way I would have upgraded if they dropped support for PowerPC. I am not going to upgrade my machine a year a half from now so here’s hoping they still support it then in CS5. If they don’t I will just stay with CS4 and outright skip the upgrade since CS4 works really well for me.
Overall a great update.
