Latest Adobe Creative Suite video reviews
Adobe Creative Suite Reviews from CNET Editors
Adobe Creative Suite 4 Master CollectionThe bottom line: The CS4 Master Collection contains every application in the Adobe Creative Suite. Although priced for serious professionals, it's a relative bargain compared with buying each ingredient piecemeal. |
|||
Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design PremiumThe bottom line: Adobe CS4 Design Premium contains nearly every tool for editing digital images and layouts for print and the Web, as well as for crafting interactive animation and desktop apps. If you don't need video editing, pick this over the Master Collection and save $700. |

Adobe Creative Suite 4 Web PremiumThe bottom line: Adobe CS4 Web Premium is a good deal for interactive designers who don't need tools for video editing and sophisticated print layouts. |
|||
Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design StandardThe bottom line: Adobe CS4 Design Standard serves designers who edit digital images and layouts for print, but many will find Design Premium a better deal for bundling the interactive potential of Flash, Dreamweaver, and Fireworks for $400 more. |
|||
Adobe Creative Suite 4 Web StandardThe bottom line: Adobe CS4 Web Standard serves interactive designers who don't have to edit images, but many will find Web Premium a better deal for bundling Photoshop and Illustrator for $500 more. |
