  • Acrobat tightens its grip on publishing

    The Adobe Acrobat PDF format has been wildly successful because it combines all the convenience of an electronic document with the familiarity of a paper printout. The latest version of Acrobat adds a host of new features that make PDFs more secure, easier to re-purpose, and more suitable for workgroup collaboration.

  • OpenOffice update finalised

    The group behind OpenOffice has released the first major update to the open-source challenger to Microsoft's Office.

  • Adobe to take Photoshop online

    Hoping to get a jump on Google and other competitors, Adobe Systems plans to release a hosted version of its popular Photoshop image-editing application within six months, the company's chief executive said.

  • Acrobat 7.0 Professional

    Adobe's Acrobat 7.0 Professional brings new collaboration and usability features, some of which workgroups will find invaluable.

  • Acrobat 6.0 Professional

    Adobe's Acrobat 6.0 is an indispensable upgrade for any serious Acrobat user. But individual users should look for a cheaper option.

  • First Take: Adobe Creative Suite 2.0 Premium

    Adobe Creative Suite 2.0 is a premier design environment, combining image-editing and layout apps for both print documents and the Web.

  • New Photoshop targets clutter

    Shoe boxes are for shoes. That's Adobe Systems' message as the publishing software giant pushes a new consumer version of Photoshop, its flagship image-editing software.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS

    Photoshop CS remains the choice for professional image editing, and it's worth the upgrade, although some new features could be better implemented.

  • Adobe GoLive CS

    GoLive CS is a solid Web-site creation option for designers, but only as part of the Creative Suite package from Adobe.

  • Adobe Illustrator CS

    Adobe keeps Illustrator CS the top dog in the field of professional drawing tools.

  • Adobe InDesign CS

    Even as QuarkXPress implodes, InDesign CS gains features and capabilities that make it the layout application of choice.

  • Adobe king of the hill

    PageMaker is still the king of the hill in many offices where it's used for newsletters, brochures, schedules or posters - the "business publishing" market, as Adobe calls it.

  • Why new 'Photoshop Lite' isn't worth it

    With the release of version 2.0, Adobe Photoshop Elements is still my program of choice for editing digital photographs. But I find it hard to recommend spending AU$179 on the upgrade. Here's why.

  • QuarkXPress 6.0

    Upgrade if you're a legacy QuarkXPress user and you want Mac OS X support; otherwise, try Adobe's InDesign.

  • Adobe Photoshop 6.0

    We may quibble with some of the superficial ways in which Adobe updated Photoshop from 5.5 to 6.0, but we certainly can't complain about the results. Based on the beta version we tested, we think that print and Web graphics producers will greatly appreciate the productivity improvements. However, casual users may finally find themselves a bit over their heads.
