Adobe Systems Incorporated is well known for their range of software for creative professionals. In particular, they develop and market a range of software for graphic design, web development, video editing and prepress/publishing. Many of their most popular programs, which include Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Dreamweaver (previously known as “Macromedia Dreamweaver”), Adobe Fireworks (previously “Macromedia Fireworks”) and Adobe Flash (previously “Macromedia Flash”) are available in versions for both Apple Macintosh computers (including both x86 Intel Macs, and PowerPC Macs) and PCs running the Microsoft Windows operating system.
Today if you were to want to purchase the latest versions of most Adobe software, you’ll notice that they are branded for CS3 (CS3 stands for “Creative Suite 3″). Creative Suite also refers to the fact that bundles containing various collections of Adobe programs are available – these include Design Standard, Design Premium, Web Standard, Web Premium, Production Premium and Master Collection. Each of these collections contains a different combination of software packages, but all versions, except Design Standard include a copy of either Adobe Photoshop CS3 or Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended.
In general, each of these packages represent excellent value for money – where else could you get a collection of professional design and development tools at such an affordable price? However, you should be aware that these are sophisticated feature-rich software tools, intended of being capable of professional work, if you want to get the most from them, especially from Photoshop CS3, it does require some learning. It’s possible to go to training classes, but if you don’t have the time or the money, an alternative is to use one of the excellent software training packages or Photoshop training web sites that are available.
