The latest update to Adobe’s suite of high-end applications for print, Web, and video professionals will be unveiled tonight at midnight and a number of news articles have revealed the details of the latest update to Adobe’s flagship software package. The Creative Suite 4 will consists of 13 products like Photoshop and Illustrator, 14 integrated technologies like Bridge and Version Cue, and seven services like Acrobat.com.
One of the major changes that users will surely notice is the tabbed interface for the applications in CS4. Adobe has given all of its applications the ability to use tabs, so you can have multiple tabs open at the same time, but still be in one window. Files and objects can be shared across tabs by clicking and dragging them and holding them on a new tab. But if you prefer the multiple window interface of the old Adobe products, you can still use that too.
A consistent theme that you’ll notice in Creative Suite 4 is it’s integration. Adobe integrated its Flash multimedia application across the CS4 applications. The company also focused on integrating common functions in other apps, too, as part of an effort to make pro users more efficient.
“One of the things we are really committed to is helping customers express their ideas,” Chad Siegel, group product manager for Adobe Creative Solutions, said. “We aren’t just about providing the tools, we are about making a platform to help them express themselves in engaging ways.”
Adobe Creative Suite 4 will be available in October.
