Adobe reveals a rainbow of CS3 flavors

Adobe reveals a rainbow of cs3 flavorsWith all the hype surrounding Adobe’s soon to be released Creative Suite 3, you’d think they were trying to best Apple’s own impressive amount of news buzz. Today, Adobe has released the finalized versions in which CS3 will be available.

If you thought Vista came in an impressive array of sets and options, you obviously weren’t ready for CS3. Adobe has listed on their site 21 options of various packages and add-ons for your creative pleasures. You read that right…21.

The goal, obviously, is to allow each consumer to have every conceivable concoction of Adobe products at their disposal; if you can’t find something you like, you might never be satisfied.

Adobe has geared a few of the major packages towards specific industries, for instance: Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium includes InDesign, Photoshop Extended, Illustrator, Acrobat, Flash Pro and Dreamweaver. A lighter-equipped CS3 Design Standard includes the same items, but holds back Flash and Dreamweaver, and limits Photoshop to standard, not extended.

The second major product set is known as Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web (you guessed it) Premium, and Standard. Included in the Standard are Dreamweaver, Flash, Contribute, and Fireworks, where Premium lands you Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Flash, Contribute, Photoshop Extended, and Acrobat Pro.

The third major grouping is called Creative Suite Product Premium and Standard, and is marketed towards video production. The Premium includes After Effects Pro, Premiere Studio, Photoshop Extended, Flash Pro, Illustrator, Sound Booth, Encore, InLocation (Windows only, sorry Mac friends), and Ultra.

“But Triston,” you might say, “What if I need to have all of those amazing products and can’t live without a single one?!” Never fear. Adobe has released what I will call the big-daddy package, or in Adobe’s terms, the Master Collection, in which every single program from all major 3 sets is included. I can almost see your eyes get 3 times too big.

Adobe still holds to its previous April/May release time, but added that CS3 Product Premium and the big-daddy collection would be held for another 3 months. Don’t look so downcast; those 3 months will give you enough time to get that fat bankroll you’ll need to fund your Master Collection.
