TMCNet: Adobe Creative Suite 4 Master Collection

[December 17, 2008]

Adobe Creative Suite 4 Master Collection

Dec 17, 2008 (CNET.com - McClatchy-Tribune News Service via COMTEX) --
Adobe offers Creative Suite 4 professional software in five flavors. Among them, the Master Collection offers professionals the most jam-packed digital toolbox. There are applications for concocting and editing digital pixel and vector graphics, print layouts, video, Web pages and animation, and then repurposing that content for mobile devices.

EDITORS' RATING: 4 stars, excellent
THE GOOD: The dozen applications in the Adobe CS4 Master Collection sport streamlined interfaces and integration for designing and editing images, Web pages, mobile sites, desktop apps, animation, film and print layouts, and support the latest digital formats.

THE BAD: These costly, heavy-duty applications take long to install, are hard to learn and hog resources; personal tech support can exceed the price of some applications; some apps, such as Photoshop, offer few compelling reasons for most users to upgrade.

THE 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.
