Top Features
Ultimate creative toolset—
Design across media using a comprehensive, integrated creative environment. Work deeply in one discipline, such as print, web, video, or audio, and then move your skills and content to another medium efficiently. For example, export rich interactive documents from Adobe InDesign as SWF or PDF files or as XFL files that you can open and edit in Adobe Flash. Or, import live Adobe After Effects compositions into Adobe Flash to add interactivity.
Industry-leading graphic design tools—
Create eye-catching vector graphics in Adobe Illustrator CS4, produce powerful digital images in Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended, and lay out visually rich long and short documents for print and digital delivery in InDesign. Showcase design work in dynamic, customizable PDF Portfolios, and prepare PDF files for high-end printed output.
Efficient creation of websites, applications, and digital experiences—
Prototype and create leading-edge digital experiences, including interactive websites, applications, user interfaces, presentations, and mobile device content, using Adobe Fireworks CS4, Dreamweaver CS4, Flash, and many other tools in Master Collection. Exchange creative content between designers and developers without rework.
A complete pre- and post-production toolset—
Work with a highly efficient pre- and post-production toolset to do video and audio editing, still and motion graphics, visual effects, and interactive media design, and then deliver for film, broadcast, and DVD as well as Blu-ray Disc and mobile authoring.
New dimensions in image editing—
Use the indispensable tools in Photoshop Extended more efficiently:
Pan and zoom on images more smoothly and rapidly, rotate your canvas to any angle, and resize images without distortion or pixilation using revolutionary new Content-Aware Scaling. Paint, composite, and animate 3D models using familiar tools.
Rich animation—
Produce animations for virtually any screen with the utmost control in After Effects, or create rich interactive animations with new easy-to-use, object-based controls in Flash.
Cutting-edge web technologies and industry standards—
Prototype in Fireworks and build standards-based websites and applications in Dreamweaver, whether you’re working with client-side HTML/XHTML, CSS, and XML; server-side application languages like Adobe ColdFusion, ASP, and PHP; or advanced JavaScript and Ajax. Get consistent cross-browser-compatible results with virtually any development platform.
Project intelligence with XMP metadata—
Track, manage, automate, and extract more value from your design and video assets by embedding XMP metadata as you create your projects. For example, use new Speech Search technology in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and Soundbooth CS4 to turn spoken dialogue into metadata, making it easy to find particular clips as you edit and your video assets searchable when posted online.
Collaboration with clients and colleagues*—
Access the Adobe ConnectNow service to review creative ideas online in real time with colleagues or clients. Find answers to technical questions with Adobe Community Help. Share color harmonies online with Adobe Kuler. Access improved Resource Central to find new assets, and quickly find news and inspiration in Bridge Home.
Mobile designs for millions—
Deliver compelling content to mobile subscribers worldwide. Use Adobe Device Central CS4 to create, preview, and test mobile content easily on an extensive selection of devices under simulated real-life conditions directly from your desktop.
