Some people get excited about the next new greatest ever you gotta have these features release of Adobe’s latest software. I used to be one of those people. In fact, I bought Photoshop when it was one of the first apps to run on a Power PC in ’93, and again when the jaw-dropping layers feature came out in ’94. I was very excited when Adobe incorporated all the Macromedia products I love with the Adobe products into one big X-mas package.
Over time I’ve become a tad bit jaded. I dropped a load of change on the last round of creative suite so I could get the apps I use on a daily basis and ended up with some I have hardly opened. (I’m a PSD gurl, Illustrator makes me itch). I’m in a rut, sure, but I know my tools and I’m comfortable with ‘em.
So you can imagine I’m not doing cartwheels about the new release of Adobe CS4. I breathe a huge sigh of relief as I write this after having read this review from OnWired. From now on I’m with that “every other release” crowd. If my designers want upgrades great, but for me, I think I’ll wait.
