Adobe Systems has released its Adobe Creative Suite 3 (CS3) product line, an offering of tightly integrated, design and development tools for creative workflow environments.
The company says CS3's line-up unites the best of Adobe and Macromedia product innovations to provide designers and developers with a range of creative options for all facets of print, web, mobile, interactive, film, and video production.
There are six new configurations of Adobe Creative Suite 3, including Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium and Design Standard editions; Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium and Web Standard editions; and Adobe Creative Suite 3 Production Premium. Rounding out the product line is Adobe Creative Suite Master Collection, which combines all of Adobe's new design and development applications.
The majority of Adobe Creative Suite 3 editions will be available as Universal applications for both PowerPC and Intel-based Macs and support Microsoft Windows XP and Windows Vista. Adobe says customers will experience increased levels of performance and speed running Creative Suite 3 natively on Intel-based Macintosh systems and the latest Windows hardware.
"Creative Suite 3 is the biggest launch in Adobe's 25 year history and a milestone for the creative industry," says Bruce Chizen, Adobe's CEO. "This release reflects the powerful integration between Adobe and Macromedia and how our products bridge the gap between designers and developers. With new workflows that streamline collaboration and impact the development of rich content, designers and developers now have the creative license to engage audiences across virtually every medium."
Customers can choose from six all-new suites or full version upgrades of 12 stand-alone applications, including Photoshop CS3, Photoshop CS3 Extended, InDesign, IllustratorCS3, Flash CS3 Professional, Dreamweaver CS3, Adobe Premiere Pro CS3, and After Effects CS3.
