Check out the new Adobe Creative Suite 4 that was announced today.

Any particular details we should know about?

Just had a browse through the system requirements and peeked around the features. What surprises me is the RAM min for Flash is 1GB where as Photoshop has min 512MB, why the difference ?

Although i know photoshop uses a scratch disk that somewhat eliminates the need for extra RAM, but photo processing ? that needs some intensive RAM power right ? I am guessing some optimization in code or some cool new feature that enhances speed.

I may write about the features at a later time. There are certainly a satisfactory amount of details on Adobe web site currently for those who are interested.

waiting for ur review Zaid. Just wanted to say that the main feature that interests lot of people so far is the integration. Adobe is promising Flash, PS, After effects...etc, will all play very nice together now.

Any ideas when the Middle-east version will be out?

Our company just bought CS3 ME recently, I can we hope for free update to CS4.

Flash is part of every application indeed. I haven't seen After Effects though. As for a free update, I am not sure when you bought yours, but it depends on local distributor's promotions mostly.

From the day we ordered they took two weeks to delivery one. It has Free Arcobat 9 update already. anyways I check with the local distributors tomorrow.

Dang ! That is sweet ! Cant wait for Pixel Bender. Would make application of effects so darn easy. Plus what surprised me was the integration of Photoshop and Flash in theory. The past version did not mention integration of flash with photoshop, but while using flash at my work place we use illustrator to take in vector into flash. That would apply for pictures as well as arabic.

I hope they add support to arabic in flash and dreamweaver, it was a mission trying to get arabic versions of sites to work on all the browsers. I guess they are getting there, with CS3 most of the requirements were met, hopefully CS4 wont let us down.
