Really quick news, today they’ve released news about the new Adobe Creative Suite CS4 products that are coming out.\u00a0 Yeah that means spending more money unfortunately.\u00a0 BOO!\u00a0 But having gone through an uku-gagillion upgrades of Adobe for years now, I can generally say that upgrades to these products are usually pretty well done.\u00a0 There’s usually a few good solid improvements that justifies the cost of stepping up…enough so that you never feel like you got ripped. YAY!<\/p>\n

First head over to the Adobe site, they have some mention of the different packages<\/a> there. It’s crazy pricing for these things no doubt.\u00a0 I had just changed platforms this year to Mac OSX and I had to pick up another set of this just recently…my wallet cried tears trust me.\u00a0 But if you’ve already done the damage like I did…upgrading pricing may not be as painful.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And then there’s the NAPP website where there’s a better comprehensive set of video previews<\/a> of some of the new features in CS4. This only covers Photoshop however.\u00a0 I believe the Layers site <\/a>will probably cover all the other programs a bit more. This includes Illustrator, Flash, Dreamweaver, you name it.<\/p>\n

These NAPP videos are very well done. The hosts of the show are pretty good at making videos that don’t go over the head of the average laymen. And they got good personalities to boot…maybe it’s just a tad bit funny that they get SO excited about these software products. But HEY, that’s their job!<\/p>\n

You can only pre-order these programs for now.\u00a0 I hope they don’t release this right around Christmas where money seems to just magically poof into thin air.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
