  Adobe Academic Software Tips

  *** Please Note: I'm unable to reply to any comments. Amazon has taken this privilege from me. I'm very sorry.Over the past several months, I've purchased the Student and Teacher Editions (academic versions) of Adobe CS5 Premium, Adobe Dreamweaver CS5, Photoshop CS5 Extended and Acrobat X Professional. Because of my recent Amazon purchase of Adobe CS5 Premium, Adobe graciously sent me via FedEx a free upgrade to Adobe CS5.5. This free upgrade was approved by Adobe after I submitted my Amazon proof-of-purchase and my CS5 serial number.For anyone intending on purchasing academic software from Adobe, I suggest they first try out the 30-day trial versions, and then if still interested, sign up for an Adobe account. It makes things much easier during the verification stage by having your account already set up.The entire verification process is very easy and it helps to have your scanned ID or any additional paperwork ready ahead of time.

  Incredible Deal for the Right Users

  At work I have Adobe Master Collection installed on both a Windows machine and an OSX machine. For home, I don't need that much manpower but I do need Photoshop, Indesign, Illustrator, Acrobat, and Dreamweaver so this package is perfect.These programs are industry standards for design and web applications and are the ones used by the experts. Anyone shopping for this software should already be familiar with what the applications do, and, hopefully, how to use them. They should also have a powerful enough machine to handle this software. Otherwise, there are plenty of simpler, cheaper (even free) programs that will meet their needs.I would not consider criticizing CAD software or statistical packages because I wouldn't know what I was talking about. I do know design software and Adobe CS5.5 is currently the best you can get for high end applications using powerful hardware. 5/5 Conspicuous Consumer "$$" - See all my reviews This review is from: Adobe CS5.5 Design Premium Student and Teacher Edition (Software) At work I have Adobe Master Collection installed on both a Windows machine and an OSX machine.

  Adobe CS5.5 Design Premium Student and Teacher Edition

  Adobe Suite, particularly Photoshop Extended, is simply the best there is in graphic software. I have been using Photoshop since version 6 and have upgraded along the way as I could afford it. For this purchase, I followed 171st paang's advice (be sure to read his review) and downloaded directly from Adobe's web site. To register the software, I uploaded the proper University ID and that's all there was to it. Great software for my purposes, which is photograph restoration and just enhancing my own photos. Friends and family think I'm a great photographer but it's just that I run all of my photos through Photoshop first (they also think I'm a few pounds lighter). It's great fun and if used for professional purposes, it can be a life-saver (didn't noticed the green thing on the bride's tooth when you took the photo?)! If you have used previous versions of Adobe, you won't be sorry if you get this one. 5/5 Al Canales "A Texan in California" (Sunny, CA USA) - See all my reviews, June 26, 2011

  CS4 smooths out a lot of the rough edges of CS3

  Lots of great updates in this release.Bridge has gone from a product I never even opened in CS3 to a program I use even more than the Finder is CS4 (when searching Adobe files.) I have two major gripes still. Bridge's smart collections are painfully slow where smart folders in the finder are very fast. Also Bridge is unable to detect Photoshop files that are located in the iPhoto library. Bridge can find other formats from with in iPhoto library just not Photoshop. Unfortunately that is the format I primarily use.Flash currently crashes for me whenever I make a symbol so I haven't been able to use it much at all. That being said that are making great steps to simplifying the interface. Action Script is still unnecessarily complicated.Illustrator has multiple artboards like FreeHand did except it works a lot better. You can now also bring in most FreeHand files fully intact since both software contains pages now. The blob brush is great. As a long... 3/5 Kendall L.

  Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium All-in-One For Dummies

  Book (For Dummies)
  

  Rating (18 reviews):

  (3.8/5)

  

  An indispensable guide and overview

  This book is essential for someone who owns the Creative Suite for Designers. If you have had it before, it brings you up to date on the changes and additions to each individual program. If, like me, you've owned individual programs in the suite but never the entire suite, it gives you a general overview of the purposes and capabilities of each individual program, and an idea of how to make the Suite work together seamlessly and in an intelligently coordinated manner.The initial overview serves to:* define the scope of each program* help you set Suite-wide preferences for color management, etc.,* familiarizes you with elements of the user interface, concepts like layers, shortcuts, and menus that are common to all programs,* shows you how to move the same file from program to program or work with files created in another Suite application* and just generally points out ways to work more efficiently.From there, you proceed to... 5/5 tachi1 "tachi1" (Miami, FL United States) - See all my reviews, July 2, 2010

  Excellent Overview!

  I was pleasantly surprised and genuinely impressed by the amount of information I was able to learn about CS5 from reading this book. Its huge! A great deal for the price. I admittedly knew nothing about the design premium when I purchased this book. The authors do a great job at presenting this material for a `dummy'. The setup and direction of the book makes it easy to follow along from start to finish. I would recommend this to any beginner looking for an great overview of the features of Adobe's Design Premium CS5. 5/5 Chris L - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  Invaluable Adobe guide!

  I couldn't have asked for more out of this book! Since I am a complete beginner in all Adobe creative suite products, I was surprised at the books ability to walk me through the basics as well as teach the new features that are introduced in the CS5 version - and pack it into just 1 book. This book covers a lot of ground (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Acrobat 9, Dreamweaver, Flash, and Fireworks) while keeping it simple enough for "Dummies".I do not hestitate to recommend this book to a beginner, intermediate or to someone with more advanced skills; the Creative Suite 5 Design Premium all-in-one for Dummies is a valuable resource. I will definitely keep this book handy - I plan to use it as a reference guide until I become an expert with the programs. 5/5 Michael B. - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  great price

  Gotta hand it to Adobe for giving such a generous discount to students compared to Apple. Everything works just like it would with the normal retail copy. My only complaint is you have to wait a day or two for Adobe to approve your student status. They have you send them a photo/scan of your ID, transcript, etc to show you are in fact a student or whatever.Oh and I don't know if it's a new thing since the last reviewer bought CS5.5, but when Adobe emailed me my serial number they also included a 32bit CS4 serial and a serial for Color Finesse 3. 5/5 Conrad - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  BEWARE! You cannot activate the included CS4 32bit programs without DAYS of tech support.

  (Updated 8/11/11)If you use a 32bit version of Windows you probably already know that Premiere Pro and After Effects 5.5 are 64bit only apps. You cannot install them on a 32bit system. Adobe actually HAD everyones best interest at heart when they decided to include 32bit CS4 versions of those programs on disk 4, with their compliments. Too bad they didn't explain this fact to tech support or the people over at Identit-E who issue the serial numbers for this edition.Since this edition doesn't come with a serial number in the box you must visit a website which you upload the required documents and wait for them to email you a serial number. Surprisingly they sent a serial number in less than 2 days. Not bad!CS5.5 loaded just like it said it would, skipping the 64bit apps since it's installing on a 32bit system. No problem. Entered the serial number, no problem, and it installed reporting a couple errors probably related to the missing 64bit apps.

  Wonderful Product!

  I've owned the past versions of Adobe's Creative Suite and will say that I am in love with this product. I originally purchased it for my Windows, but found that the Mac version works much better and was practically made for my iMac (my Windows version is currently for sale, if interested.) I mainly use the Master Collection for inDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator and am constantly amazed. Hopefully, Adobe won't release a fifth version any time soon, but if they do I will definitely be looking forward to it!! 5/5 Teev (SF, CA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Adobe Creative Suite 4 Master Collection [Mac] [OLD VERSION] (DVD-ROM) I've owned the past versions of Adobe's Creative Suite and will say that I am in love with this product.
