Adobe Creative Suite is a collection of graphic design, video editing, and web development applications made by Adobe Systems. The latest released version, Adobe Creative Suite 3 (CS3), was announced on March 27, 2007. The successor to Adobe CS3, Adobe Creative Suite 4 (CS4) was announced on September 23, 2008. Adobe announced that Creative Suite 4 will be released in October 2008.
All applications in CS4 feature the same user interface, with a new tabbed interface for working with concurrently running Adobe CS4 programs where multiple applications can be opened inside multiple tabs contained in a single window. It was announced that nVidia CUDA technology is now supported to allow for the accelerated encoding of video. Adobe CS4 is also developed to perform better under 64-bit and multi-core processors. However, Adobe CS4 64-bit will not be available for Mac OS X.
Adobe sells Creative Suite applications in six different combinations called "editions".
