Adobe Illustrator CS4

While it looks like Illustrator CS4 will be a must-have upgrade, don't feel bad if you've got some lingering annoyance that it should have had these must-have features a couple of versions ago.

After spending a few weeks working with a beta version, we've concluded that there's just enough that's better in the CS4 updates to Photoshop that many people will find themselves sighing, biting the bullet, and upgrading.

Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional

For composing long PDF packages at an office that requires security and wants to use the new digital forms, Acrobat 8's got the goods, but it's overkill if you only seek to make short PDF files.

Adobe Illustrator CS3

Though it remains an excellent vector drawing tool, there's not a lot in Adobe Illustrator CS3 to compel CS2 users to upgrade.

Adobe Flash CS3 Professional

Adobe has improved the speed of Flash and its integration with other CS3 apps, although flashy new features are few. Plus, Flash now works natively on Intel-based Macs.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended

The professional's choice for image editing spawns Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended to appeal to select vertical markets, but it delivers mixed results.

Adobe Photoshop CS3

With its streamlined tools, enhanced nondestructive editing capabilities, and better performance, Adobe Photoshop CS3 will look very attractive to almost any user.

Adobe Dreamweaver CS3

Dreamweaver CS3's universal binary alone could make the upgrade worthwhile for some users, and improved CSS plus new Spry features will be welcome to pros, but that's not a lot of advances for the steep price.

Flash Player 9

The new Flash Player is designed to make Flash-based animations, videos, and games play faster.

Adobe answers the Apple Aperture challenge by releasing a public beta of its modest competing product, Lightroom.

Adobe Premiere Elements 2

Adobe Premiere Elements 2 is a great video editor for those willing to take the time and effort to learn it.
