Adobe CS4
Adobe the other week ‘released’ the pre-release of CS4 and the various collections of programs available.
I was awaiting this release as I have been wanting to have a tinker about with InDesign but never had the need to buy it solely for a ‘mess about’, and was interested to see how adobe put together the collections.
The last suite we bought was the Web Premium CS3, as at bout this at the time I was just dabbling into the realms of web design and coding and thought Dreamweaver was the way to go. Also with Freehand on the way out I thought I needed to move over to Illustrator and Fireworks (still in progression mode!! – feel a post coming on!).
Anyway, Dreamweaver (& Fireworks) is now included in both Web AND Design premium… Why?
The only difference in the design and web premium is InDesign & Sound Booth? I’ve never needed sound booth (nor used) for web design but assume this is for things such as pod-casting and alike?
Is dreamweaver loosing out programs such as (now my preference) Coda or text Mate for coding and writing web pages in professional use, and feel the need to distribute more liberally, Or am I missing something? Dreamweaver’s search function was what made me open it to find code in a large website, but now Coda has this function, so personally finding it hard for a reason to open it.
I will be getting the Design Premium CS4 upgrade this time round, and would like to see what they have done with Dreamweaver and have a whirl on InDesign.
