San Jose, Calif., -Adobe Systems Incorporated today announced the four popular Adobe Collections software suites have been upgraded to feature the newest version of the world's leading professional image editing software, Adobe Photoshop 6.0, making them even more powerful for creative professionals. Available today, the Adobe Web Collection, Adobe Publishing Collection, Adobe Design Collection, and Adobe Dynamic Media Collection are one-box sets of award-winning Adobe applications that offer integrated workflow solutions from a leader in digital publishing solutions. "The Collections allow designers and design firms, such as mine, to take advantage of the high degree of cross-product integration that saves precious time - time we prefer to spend on realizing our design visions," said Hillman Curtis, chief creative officer of the acclaimed cross-medium design studio hillmancurtis.com. When combined, the Adobe applications give creative professionals the tools they need to create and produce professional-quality Web, print and dynamic media projects. The products' shared features and common user interface greatly reduce the learning curve and allow users to be more proficient and productive. The suites are ideal for customers who own single Adobe products and want to upgrade and obtain new applications at the same time. The Adobe Collections also provide cost-effective solutions for individuals or small businesses who are new to publishing or dynamic media. The new version of the Adobe Web Collection includes the recently updated Adobe GoLive 5.0 software and the award-winning Web animation software, Adobe LiveMotion , in addition to the Photoshop 6.0 and Adobe Illustrator 9.0. With the convenience of a comprehensive set of powerful tools, Web professionals can turn creative concepts into dynamic, high-impact Web sites. From image processing and cross-browser layout to site management and reporting statistics, the products in the Adobe Web Collection allow users to move smoothly between tasks and applications with an intuitive, integrated workflow. "Adobe understands creative professionals like no other company and its products are the industry standard," said Kimball Carter, partner and creative director of Interactive Services at the integrated marketing agency Euro RSCG DSW Partners. "Using Adobe products frees my staff to solve creative problems instead of trying to figure out how to use the applications independently. Adobe provides the right products to create terrific Web sites for our clients."
