Two versions will be available, Standard and Premium. The Standard edition includes Photoshop, ImageReady, Illustrator and InDesign; Premium is enhanced with GoLive and Acrobat 7.0 Professional.
Both versions of Creative Suite also include a new visual file browser, Bridge, which allows users to browse, organise and process the files of CS2's various software elements, and those of some third-party products including Quark XPress.
Other developments include: Version Cue, which lets the user return to earlier saved documents and an upgrade to InDesign to allow it to place other CS2 products' native files.
The software giant plans to begin shipping CS2 to Europe late May/early June 2005. The Standard edition will sell for 669 and Premium for 889, the firm is yet to release upgrade pricing.
