Editor's Corner: An Ocean of Software

Today, Adobe revealed the new features in major upgrades to 5,235 of their creative pro applications. All right, maybe it’s more like sixteen programs that now have the words “Creative Suite 4” after their names. But that’s still a lot!

To help you make sense of what’s changed and decide whether you should upgrade, we’ll have two waves of coverage. The first, now on CreativePro.com, is the official press releases and first-hand reports on late betas of the core CS4 apps that are most important to you. The second wave, our official reviews of those core apps, will be online very soon after the software ships to the public.

Dive into the first wave of CS4 coverage here:
