Adobe Creative Suite 2

Adobe is due to ship its Creative Suite 2 software in May. The bundle includes Adobe Photoshop® CS2, Illustrator® CS2, InDesign® CS2, GoLive® CS2, and Acrobat® 7.0 Professional. New features include Version Cue® CS2 with enhanced file versioning and review management, Adobe Bridge, Adobe Stock Photos, color consistency, and unified Adobe PDF file creation offering greater productivity and collaboration.

"Bridge is in essence a visual file browser that displays scalable thumbnail previews of the files on your hard drive. But Adobe has packed Bridge with time-saving features, such as drag-and-drop import, editable and searchable metadata, file rating, slide shows, batch processing, Camera Raw conversion, and color-management synchronization." Galen Fott in his review on Publish.com

All of this comes with a $30 drop in price, only $1,199 for the full premium edition, or $549 to upgrade from version 1. You can purchase on line now from Adobe.com.
