CS4

"Aside from the multitude of new features — many that I haven't even mentioned — it's hard to over-exaggerate the good vibes resulting from Adobe's commitment to providing users with an improved workflow."
Chere' Martin, Newspapers & Technology,
November 2008

"While the previous version marked the first appearance of Macromedia products in the mix, CS4 represents the first substantial integration of both sides of the merged company. It also marks a clear trend toward simplification of a common user interface and a noticeable integration of Flash into many of the point products."
John Parsons, The Seybold Report,
October 9, 2008

"The new Adobe Creative Suite 4 has arrived on the scene, and in grand fashion! This...has to be the largest across-the-board upgrade yet....Overall, this is a bold, beautiful, and solid release from Adobe. There is something for everyone to be excited about, and the workflow enhancements alone make this upgrade seriously worth thinking about."
Nick Sorbin, Renderosity,

"With CS4, Adobe is showing that it understands designers are no longer working in a single medium, but in multiple disciplines with shared assets, which must retain flexibility without a destruction of resolution. That Adobe acknowledges this convergence of disciplines on a single desktop will help designers work more easily than I, for one, ever thought possible. This release is an enormous step forward in flexibility from CS3."

"Overall, CS4 looks to be a solid upgrade to all of the applications, and a good investment for a more productive workflow."
Patric King, PRINT,

"This is really the first version of the Creative Suite that was planned from the start with the combined talent and resources of both Adobe and Macromedia. The teamwork shows in the final results: The products feel much more integrated, and it's getting easier to see the cross-media vision Adobe has been articulating for quite a while (but was previously unable to deliver on)."
Gene Gable, CreativePro.com,
October 30, 2008

"If you didn't upgrade to CS3, or if you're in the market for a new, more powerful computer, it makes sense to buy CS4 now. Adobe has done a good job with the entire Creative Suite. And the more Adobe CS products you use, the more benefit you'll get from the upgrade."

CS3

"Adobe Creative Suite 3 is the powerhouse from Adobe after the merger of Macromedia that revolutionizes design and development tools for virtually every creative workflow. Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium brings greater levels of integration, efficiency, and productivity....Let's face it. Budgets are tight, and good deals are hard to come by. But the Adobe Creative Suite 3 isn't just a good deal, it's a great one."
Roy Webb, In Magazine,
September 10, 2007

"The new Adobe Creative Suite 3 collections recognize and are strengthened by a number of comments from consumers, improving on software that is already industry standard."
Kim Crowley, Digital Output Magazine,
June 2007

"New Adobe applications boost collaboration and workflow."
Steve Barth, KMWorld,

"Unleash your inner desktop artist with this sophisticated software package."
Carol Holzberg, Technology & Learning,
June 15, 2007

"What you get with CS3 is a half dozen top-of-the-line programs that enable anyone with talent and skill to compete head-on against established print and web pros for a comparatively small capital investment...so overall, it's a great deal."
David Em, TechRevu,

"Adobe didn't just accomplish a nearly impossible software feat — coordinating even a couple programs to work together and ship at the same time is considered rather hard — but it also managed to smooth out rough edges and improve how each program works with every other program."
Glenn Fleishman, Seattle Times,
June 9, 2007

"All I know is that the Summer of 2007 is an exciting time to be alive and using the new CS3 tools. I trust Shakespeare will forgive me when I say, 'Adobe doth make artists of us all.'"
Derek Pell, Dingbat,

"Just when you think Adobe can't possibly cram any new features into already-packed programs, the company has surprised us with some very interesting new tricks in CS3."
Claudia McCue, Dynamic Graphics,
June 1, 2007

"At first blush, Adobe seems to have painstakingly integrated Flash and added some useful updates to their basic programs, all while defying the time-honored, yet exceedingly annoying, tech-industry tradition of fixing what isn't broken. Veteran Adobe users have ample reasons to embrace the new suite — and, unfortunately for Microsoft, the native operability with the Mac Intel chip could very well lure many PC users to the other side."
Jeff Howe, PRINT,
May/June 2007

"Your design fantasies become reality with the latest version of Adobe Creative Suite 3."
Staff, Layers Magazine,
May/June 2007

"Adobe has focused on integrating the functionality between its software applications, making it easier to work between programs for print, Web, video and even mobile phone publishing."
Christopher Smith, Graphic Arts Online,
May 1, 2007

"Adobe Creative Suite 3 is a sweeping, comprehensive set of offerings that at first glance does seem to address virtually every creative workflow."
Bill Trippe, The Seybold Report,
