Saw this today, thought it might start some conversation or get people excited.

FTA:
That’s right we will be officially announcing the 4th version of the Creative Suite on September 23rd. Now before you get the wrong idea, this is NOT the release date but rather our official unveiling of it. You can register to view a special web broadcast that will take place on the 23rd. I highly recommend you check it out if you want to learn more. Get plenty of sleep now as you will have more new toys than you’ll know what to do with very soon.

Adobe to Unveil Creative Suite 4 on September 23rd



Adobe is hosting a webcast to publicly unveil Creative Suite 4, their next-generation graphic design, video editing, and web development application package, on September 23rd. Advance registration is requested in order to obtain viewing instructions. No specific details on the content of the webcast have been announced, and the release date, package options, and pricing for Creative Suite 4 remain unknown.

Adobe announced public betas of Dreamweaver, Fireworks, and Soundbooth in May, and additional information on the Photoshop CS4 interface was revealed in June. Early reports of an October release for CS4 were contested by Adobe, although this may end up being fairly accurate, as most Creative Suite 3 bundle packages began shipping less than three weeks after its March 2007 unveiling.

Another upgrade from Adobe I won't buy because it does very little more than the last version does.
 
BS. I'll believe it when I see it. Besides Microsoft, I think Adobe has one of the slowest roll outs when it comes to new releases. Maybe we'll see CS4 by the end of 2009.
 
Without 64-bit, it's not worth it.

Bad decision on Adobe's part. They knew Apple's 64-bit roadmap once Leopard was released. They knew that there'd be a far greater 64-bit user base on OSX than Windows x64.

The good knews is that they've now got the time and incentive to work on redoing Photoshop in Cocoa. CS5 should be a good one.
 
If they cant cross application Flash, I dont give a flying f---

Where is the EASY integration of all things Flash into Photoshop or Illustrator? Or even Acrobat!?
 
from beta to broadway

I sure hope the resolved the issues with their UI. Dreamweaver CS4 beta functionality has been horrid on a (new) mac.

I use Rapidweaver, plus blocks plugin. Much better, and will never use DW again, since it has been Adobified.

You might want to give it a try.
 
Soundbooth CS4 Non-beta!!! :D

Finally I can officially ditch Apple "pro" audio apps entirely!

to give them some slack...Apple already moved to 64 bit with the G5 and then did a nice sh*t in the face of its developers by moving back to 32-bit with intel.
 
Free Money!

For those that use Adobe Products for a living, a new upgrade cycle is like free money. There is always something that makes up for the cost. Improved productivity or functionality. But it is always worth it.

For the casual user, yes, it is often too much. And unfortunately it is often impossible to buy the right amount.

But if you are making, producing, printing or publishing material for a living. Which is for the most part who the product is for. You are generally talking about 3-4 days salary per workstation, and you honestly make that back each and every time.
 
I find that with Adobe CS updates it's very easy to skip generations.

I want from CS1 to CS3 and I was perfectly happy with that. I think I'll make the jump from 3 right to 5 when it comes out in a few years.

With Final Cut and Mac OS updates, I'm first in line. But with Adobe, I find the changes to be minimal enough that I can go another 2 or 3 years without having the newest version.

MS for awhile was releasing OS's like crazy... Windows 98, ME, XP all with a few years. Then EVERYONE complained that there were too many so they stopped, put their blinders on and ironically released Vista.

Well, to this day, Final Cut Pro, Finder, and iTunes are all still Carbon apps too.

I don't really fault Adobe for thinking that they still had time when Apple themselves hasn't updated those 3 apps. Because those are, you know, some pretty important ones for Apple.

Obviously, they were wrong, but hindsight is 20/20. CS4 could have been 64 bit, but Apple changed their mind right before Leopard came out and killed that chance. The point is, Leopard was SUPPOSED to support it, but Apple dropped it from Leopard at the last minute. I can't really fault Adobe for not knowing something Apple THEMSELVES didn't even know at the time. The instant it happened, Adobe started working on it. It's just going to take them more than 1 year is all.

And you know that it does very little more how? I assume you must be an Adobe Alpha tester, oh wait.... you said you wouldn't BUY it. Well most Alpha testers I know get a copy for free anyways... So I guess your post means nothing then.

another ridiculously expensive update for features i probably won't use . . . not planning on upgrading unless something incredible is updated/added/changed
Click to expand...
If you don't use the features then you probably fall into the novice category or the "desktop publishing" career base. However for professional Graphic Designers, CS4 will most likely bring a slew of much wanted features to make OUR lives easier.

If any of you guys don't want it, DON'T GET IT.
It's so easy for everyone to be so negative.... almost to the point of trolling.

Adobe ruined macromedia's products! Company of garbage (best way of saying it within the T&C)

Completely agreed, things were so much better when Macromedia owned Flash and the support was great on the Macintosh.
