Talk:Adobe Creative Suite

release dates for previous versions

first i would like to add that in my opinion, whether it be right or wrong, is that cs, cs2 and cs3 should have their own pages. having one creative suite page limits the amount of valuable information that the wikipedia articles could be having.

at the very least, i would like to see the release dates for the first and second CS. I would like to be able to examine their product cycles with this information.

REMOVING THAT

I propose to remove the whole section.

This is a suite of commercial products

UM. THAT IS LUDICROUS.

So? The Wizard of Oz was a commercial enterprise as well, both in book and movie form -- both were designed to make money. Most everything is. Your request is laughable on so many levels, especially considering the paramount importance of Adobe's products in just about every industry.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.60.166.49 (talk • contribs).

CS3 Editions

Where's the CS3 edition info source? - PGSONIC 23:10, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

It is now sourced Pikablu0530 01:30, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

CS3 own article

CS3 is such a huge release, it should have its own article, while this article is about CS2. possibly after CS3 is actually released. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gamersedge (talk • contribs) 22:43, 28 March 2007 (UTC).

It is already released - just havn't shipped. There is already enough information on the web, and Adobe's website has already been replaced by CS3 info. I don't see why we require a separate article about CS2 because it is quite short and doesn't contain much information. A 'History' section is enough. Besides, Adobe Creative Suite refers to both CS2 or CS3, with CS3 replacing CS2, so there is no need to disambiguate them.Pikablu0530 11:43, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Someone who has interest in Adobe is clearly involved in writing this page, this should be an informative page, not an advertising. For instance, where is the information about older versions of this software?

At the bottom in the section "History". Feel free to expand on the section and improve any parts of the article. Pikablu0530 14:41, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Don't Disambiguate

No need. Sure it will be awkward for a short time with 2 active versions, but there is already enough here. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 200.110.222.2 (talk) 17:32, 29 March 2007 (UTC).

Price

I added a line that Adobe is currently accepting pre-orders on their website, but I think we should put something down for the price of these packages. They put retail prices on the various wikipedia articles on video game consoles, so I don't see including that as making this a commercial article.DeviantCharles 19:05, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Icons and the Wheel-of-Icons

It seems like they changed the icon for Contribute from "Co" (as shown in the wheel) to "Ct" (in the new icons displayed).

Also, what does "Vc" stand for (on the yellow icon)? I'm pretty sure that is not for Version Cue CS3 because if you check out the official Adobe website, the icon for Version Cue is teal-like colour. Both the yellow "Vc" icon and the actual icon for Version Cue (the teal one) are on the wheel-of-icons. So what does "Vc" represent? Pikablu0530 02:15, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

The blog that the wheel is from links to a 3-D "carousel" version at The Flash Blog, which identifies (at least by name) all but two of the icons. Both the yellow and teal icons in question are identified as Version Cue. Obviously this isn't hard evidence, but since Version Cue's product page shows only the teal version, it seems they abandoned both the yellow color scheme and the letters in the icon design at some point(s). 128.84.178.24 19:50, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Student Versions

There are student releases of the Adobe Creative Suite, whole or in part. Is this worth a mention somewhere?

I don't think so. Much software is offered in a range of pricing strategies including academic versions. Nothing particularly notable about Creative Suite in this regard. Notinasnaid 07:56, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

the idea of academic prices isn't common enough knowledge to not include in a wikipedia article, imo. Encyclopedic and comprehensive recording would include the concept of academic prices for this product.

Prices

We shouldn't have the prices, they not only vary massively by state and country, but even by store. And the fact they're in USD won't help the 5.7 billion other people :). +Hexagon1 ^(t) 05:56, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Stock photos

I changed the link for the stock photos from Adobe stock photos to just stock photos as there wasn't an Adobe stock photos article & there was no point in creating one. Debate with me if you disagree. BlackSlivers 04:29, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

I propose mentioning that it doesn't work!

I propose mentioning that the current version of Adobe CS3 is marred with installation errors, registration errors and activation errors, and that people should avoid or be wary of purchasing this product.

Well if you have reliable sources for the problems with Adobe CS3 then by all means add a section for that, but as far as telling people to be wary of purchasing this product, is not the kind of content that should be on Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a place where we should give or recive advice. --D.Kurdistani 07:48, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

As a studio's technical manager I can confirm major problems with CS3 + Intel Macs. We would move back to CS2 if it wasn't for the fact that it's not a universal application. Are American Color Imaging rep. also stated that other studios are having the same problems as us. My biggest complain would be with Bridge CS3, which appears to hang the systems daily and runs slower then the CS2 version. I'm convinced Adobe sabotaged Bridge to force people into Lightroom. --Nbritton 15:42, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

linux version

the box on the right says CS3 is avail on linux but i've found no proof of this whatsoever. can we have a citation please as well as a few sentences in the article? --AlexOvShaolin 17:25, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Checkmarks vs Xs

I think we should make the checkmarks "X"s. I know my Linux box as well as my laptop (w/ IE6) displays them as boxes, not checkmarks. I changed this once and it was reverted.Bronzey214 02:31, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Excuse me, but where are the earlier CS version articles?

Were they just deleted or never existed? Why do they redirect here? This kind of smacks of bsAwotter (talk) 18:58, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

They never existed. The earliest article on Adobe CS was preserved in the "History" section of the current article, which was basically a list of the softwares in each of the editions (Standard and Premium). --Pikablu0530 (talk) 23:11, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Presto in CS3?

Could someone please confirm that Presto is still being used in Adobe Creative Suite 3? Articles that need updating are Opera (web browser), Presto (layout engine), and Adobe Creative Suite. And please put your reference in those articles, thank you. Samsara noadmin (talk) 12:17, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Adobe Acrobat Pro

Should we rename all the mentions of "Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional" to simply "Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro"? On Adobe's website it even shows the box saying Pro instead of Professional. Wikada - Talk Cont ISU 19:40, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
