“Adobe next week will unveil Creative Suite 4, a new version of its media design bundle set to ship the following month with features such as enhanced options for working with 3D objects in Photoshop, new Flash document exports from within InDesign, and a new animation model for Flash,” Prince McLean reports for AppleInsider.
“The San Jose-based software developer has confirmed the package to include new versions of Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Flash, Flash Player, InDesign, Photoshop, and Soundbooth, but will also bundle minor updates to the suite’s remaining components,” McLean reports.
“People privy to private demonstrations of Creative Suite 4 say the update will generally be minor, with only a few new features tacked on to each application,” McLean reports. “‘The lack of compelling new features has been the discussion among many employees and customers that are testing the software,’ one of those people said, ‘with many relating CS4 to a maintenance release rather than a complete new version.'”
“People familiar with Adobe’s plans say the company will continue to offer multiple versions of the Creative Suite, continuing with the same suite configurations. Upgrades for the most popular suite, Design Premium, are expected to be priced at $699,” McLean reports.
