“Sources have informed Think Secret of Adobe’s U.S. pricing plan for its highly anticipated Creative Suite 3 ahead of the company’s Tuesday announcement,” Ryan Katz reports for Think Secret.
Katz reports, “Adobe plans to offer six bundles with various Creative Suite 3 applications: CS3 Web Standard, CS3 Web Premium, CS3 Design Standard, CS3 Design Premium, CS3 Production Premium, and the CS3 Master Collection.”
“The least expensive of the six will be the CS3 Web Standard bundle, which will retail for $999 and includes Flash CS3 Professional, Dreamweaver CS3, Fireworks CS3, and Contribute CS3,” Katz reports.
“Pricing for stand-alone CS3 applications remains largely unchanged from CS2 and previous versions, with the exception of Illustrator CS3 which sees a $100 increase to $599. Photoshop CS3 Standard will retail for the same $649 price as CS2, while Photoshop CS3 Extended will cost $999,” Katz reports. “Adobe will start accepting pre-orders for Creative Suite 3 products this week.”

I just want to know when the fake ChrissyOne will start a blog like Fake Steve.
Apparently MDN likes infantile, because they’ve chosen to keep putting up with it for this long.
Wait, I swore I wouldn’t reply to this thread. So does this make me fake too? Egads…
For all of you open-source fans out there, sure, GIMP is nice, but it can’t replace Photoshop in a Print Production environment for one simple fact. It doesn’t do CMYK. I just checked again, and found no way to make an image into anything but Indexed Colour, Greyscale, and RGB.
Unfortunately, print pros require CMYK, thus, GIMP is really gimped until such time as someone adds CMYK support. Any takers out there in coder-land?
MW=used – as in – I feel “used” by Adobe’s pricing.
