Adobe’s new Creative Suite 3 line-up unites the best of Adobe and Macromedia® product innovation to provide designers and developers with a broad spectrum of creative options for all facets of print, web, mobile, interactive, film, and video production. There are six all-new configurations of Adobe Creative Suite 3. These include, Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium and Design Standard editions; Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium and Web Standard editions; and Adobe Creative Suite 3 Production Premium (see separate releases). Rounding out the product line is Adobe Creative Suite Master Collection which combines 12 of Adobe’s new design and development applications in a single box—the most comprehensive creative environment ever delivered."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/adobecs3master.jpg" /><br /><br />We mentioned earlier today about how pricing for CS3 is now available. But now Adobe has officially announced their suite of products, something they claim as being their biggest release in 25 years. Clearly Photoshop and Photoshop Extended CS3 will be of great interest to all DMT readers. But I am personally looking forward to the new versions of Contribute, Premiere and Soundbooth as well. I would recommend looking at <a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/">http://www.adobe.com/products/</a>.

I wish they would let me customize my own "edition".

I don't need Photoshop Extended ($350 more than Photoshop if you by them as standalones) - but I would like Dreamweaver ($400 standalone).

So I can buy Design Premium for $1,799 and get Dreamweaver plus Photoshop Extended (which I don't need) and Flash (which I don't want), or I can buy Design Standard for $1,199 and pay $400 for Dreamweaver for a total of $1,599.

I'm using the Purchase prices (not the upgrade prices) - as the penalty for switching to a Mac is that Adobe doesn't let you do upgrades across platforms.

I know I'm being picky - but it just seems that these "Editions" are kind of arbitrary.
