Adobe's Creative Suite 4Today, Adobe made official its plans for Creative Suite 4, the first major update of its main design and editing tools package since Adobe Creative Suite 3 was released more than 17 months ago.Creative Suite 3 was the first package to combine the traditional Adobe products with those from Macromedia, which was acquired by Adobe in 2006. Creative Suite 4 will take that concept even further, with an aim to completely unify the interfaces of more than a dozen applications, including Flash.Creative Suite 4 will incorporate the processing power of graphics chips for the first time, and most notably for Windows users, it will be the first version to support 64-bit Windows Vista.CNET Reviews editor Elsa Wenzel has the full wrap-up of today's Adobe CS4 news as well as a first-take review and videos of the six different Adobe CS4 suites and their individual applications.Read more about Adobe Creative Suite 4Visit Download.com
