Adobe pulled out all of the stops for this Master Collection. The suite includes all of the main products that have become the industry standards for print, video, illustration, and photography. In addition to Photoshop, Illustrator, Bridge, After Effects, In Design, and Acrobat Pro, Adobe has even included Premiere, their movie editing program, Soundbooth, their sound editing and recording program, and Encore, for authoring commercial quality DVDs (you'll need an Intel Mac or Windows PC for Encore -- check the hardware requirements -- this is not beginner stuff -- it is highy advanced programming). The programs are all re-rigged to work together in harmony as Creative Suite 3. This would be reason enough to buy the Suite, but Adobe has added all the Micromedia programs they acquired from their purchase of Micromedia. These programs include Dreamweaver, the excellent web site creation and editing tool, Flash, the monster web animation tool, and Fireworks, a web illustration software (which is a competitor of sorts to Photoshop). All of these new programs are designed now to work in harmony with the original Adobe products. There is almost nothing that you cannot accomplish or create with this Master Suite of programs. Unfortunately, this is the upgrade version, and while priced very competitively, it requires you have some qualifying programs already installed on your computer (check here or on the Adobe site for what those programs are -- you will need to enter serial numbers from the old products to get the new ones to install). The installation of the Suite takes about 2 hours, but once you are done, you're on you way to some great creations!!
