Creative Suite Web Premium 4

I have been a long time user of Photoshop & Adobe’s Creative Suite products since I first managed a business where it was necessary for me to rise to the challenge of learning the programs and attempting to master them. So I am extremely excited to finally get the opportunity to take my creative suite 2 & 3 skills and polish them up on Adobes new software, Creative Suite Web Premium 4. Learn more about my excitement on Twitter or learn more with cnet’s review and video link below.

The good: Adobe CS4 Web Premium includes a game-changing update to Flash; spruced-up shortcuts for dynamic designs in Dreamweaver and Fireworks; decent if unnecessary upgrades of Photoshop and Illustrator, Soundbooth and Acrobat 9, with improved integration among similar interfaces.

The badThe bad: These heavy-duty applications take long to install, are hard to learn, and hog resources; personal tech support can exceed the price of some applications.

The bottom lineThe 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.
