Back in June, the fine folks at Adobe flew me up to New York to participate in a two day training session on their latest and greatest Adobe CS4. I’ve been playing with the beta for the last few months but have been under NDA not to talk about it until today. Below is the official press release, I’ll give you all an update later today on what the new features are. On the surface it is a much improved product line this year, with tweaks and additions in all the right places. I was really impressed with the changes in Flash, the surprising power of Adobe Elements, and the fact that OnStage finally has an user interface. I still don’t think it’s worth the price of an upgrade, but if you don’t already own it, it’s a must by.
