Last summer, Adobe made a big splash with its Creative Suite 3 collection of software, which included the first major updates of popular titles like Photoshop, Premiere, Illustrator, Flash, and Dreamweaver since the company acquired Web-design powerhouse Macromedia. It also prompted Download.com Editor Seth Rosenblatt to explain how to roll your own CS3-style software suite for free (part two).
This summer, Adobe is already looking ahead to Creative Suite 4, and has released three new beta versions of CS4 software for the Dreamweaver Web-site builder, the Fireworks image editor, and the audio-production tool Soundbooth.
The beta versions will work for 48 hours for everyone. After that, registered users of CS3 products can request a beta serial key that will extend the life of the beta versions until the release of CS4.
