Adobe launches Creative Suite

Adobe has announced details of its Creative Suite (CS), which includes updates to its web, publishing and creative applications such as Photoshop.

CS combines new full-version upgrades of Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and GoLive, and incorporates Acrobat 6.0 Professional.

CS also introduces Version Cue, a new file manager, which Adobe described as the glue that held the components of CS together.

The theme of Creative Suite is integration. Adobe aims to provide users with everything they need to create and publish content faster and more efficiently for print and web versions.

New features for InDesign include a story editor, workspace management and integration with Acrobat and Photoshop.

Adobe Creative Suite will initially be available to customers in the US and Canada from the fourth quarter, with others to follow.

Adobe is holding an international launch event for Creative Suite in New York today (29 September).
