Adobe has officially released their new CS6 suite of software, including ‘powerful new releases’ of Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Dreamweaver and much more. It has also revealed that their Creative Cloud service will be operational from the 11th of May onwards, for $49.99 a month. Rather like a Dropbox dedicated for Photoshop use, you will also get the whole CS6 suite bundled with your subscription, so you won’t have to pay anything extra for the costly software.
From the Adobe press release:
Top new features across the CS6 product line include:
- New levels of performance with tools that take advantage of Adobe Mercury Graphics functionality, allowing users to go from ideas to finished work faster than ever before.
- Enhanced user interfaces that vastly simplify workflows, so users can focus on their content and achieve results quicker.
- New capabilities that streamline the creation of responsive content, ensuring website and apps look great across virtually all screen sizes and form factors.
- Remarkable new science, integrated into imaging and video apps, makes previously impossible tasks suddenly possible.
Adobe Creative Cloud membership delivers:
- Access to download and install all CS6 applications, new HTML5 desktop products – Adobe Muse™ 1.0 and Adobe Edge preview – and deep integration with Adobe Touch Apps.
- Easy storage and sharing of content across desktop, mobile devices and the cloud.
- Integrated website publishing and hosting.
- Ongoing innovation that provides members with the most up-to-date products and services
The pricing for these suites will be US$2,599 for CS6 Master Collection, US$1,899 for CS6 Production Premium, US$1,899 for CS6 Design & Web Premium, and US$1,299 for CS6 Design Standard. You will of course be able to purchase the software individually if you only want one thing, but the suites are better value when you break it down, hence their appeal.
