Finally installed some CS3 apps

Well I finally got around to installing a few CS3 apps (the release versions) and I like what I see. I can't say the installation process was difficult in anyway but cripes did Dreamweaver take forever or what? Even Photoshop went in faster than DW.

Flash, Fireworks, Dreamweaver and Photoshop so far. I'm really liking the direction fireworks has been taken. I was wondering if it would get squished under Photoshop's heavy boot but it has scampered to the side and is making good on it's word to do well in this world. I have a feeling I'll be relying a lot less on my overworked designer for doing flex apps design which is great.

Anyways, I haven't bothered buying the software yet because I'm waiting for the Master Collection to come out. I was kinda hoping to settle for a lesser version of the suite but it just so happens that I need them all.

Anyways, nice job Adobe! apps are looking good. I can't wait to mess with them all and see what new stuff can be created.

Actually, what I'm really looking forward to hasn't be released yet. After Effects, Premiere, Ultra (very cool) and OnLocation (very cool too). What a package of stuff there! Should be a lot of fun.

Too bad Audition got kicked out... what did Audition ever do to Adobe to be shunned from any and all suites? *sniff* poor guy. There's a new guy in town called Soundbooth now. Somewhat easier to use (dumbed down) than Audition but I say just add them both in and make everybody happy. Either way though, doesn't look like Audition is getting an upgrade just yet, that and it's Windows only.

Speaking of that, Premiere is Mac and PC now! Good stuff.
