THE tool for desktop publishingNov 14, 2007
By Biffle French
If you are considering any desktop publishing project, then you really don't have any other choice, nor should you look for one. People whose software experience does not include Adobe products are like someone who has never had chocolate. The experience is unlike any other.
The four major tools in the suite - Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, InDesign and Acrobat allow creation of any document up to large books with full color pages in any color profile you choose. There is not time in a short review even to mention specific capabilities of this wonderful set of tools, so I will just say that if you want to do any type of graphic design, typesetting or photographic output you need these tools.
One caution about using Adobe tools is that if you are not capable of learning on your own, then plan to spend a LOT of money on support. Four calls to the support line are included with the purchase, but after that there is a fee. So spend some money on books and plan to spend time to learn these rich, quality tools. You will be rewarded.

Industry standard. Stable and intuitive.Apr 16, 2008
By Lawrence Mueller
I run it on my Mac, I run it on my PC. For years I used copies from work for take-home work use, but when I started making money from freelance work, I bought CS1 for myself and I've upgraded ever since.
InDesign is the star in this package. It's like a pagination program and illustrator combined. The command keys are more intuitive across the whole Adobe interface. Designate your own for functions that you use often. When you start using InDesign you'll find more reasons to love this program all the time.
QuarkXpress and PageMaker users: Once you make it through the painful (took me 8 hours over one weekend) process of converting yourself to new working habits, you'll work faster and more efficiently than you did with QuarkXPress. (I used QuarkXPress from '96 to '03 and hated every minute of it, but it was industry standard.)
Because of constant updates that you won't receive otherwise, a paid copy of CS is way more stable than a cracked version. If you have CS2, you need this upgrade because CS3 runs smoother on Intel chips than CS2 did because it doesn't have to be interpreted through Rosetta.
If you're trying to get paid for design work and you didn't go to college to learn the trade (a.k.a. desktop publisher) and you're working in Microsoft Publisher, Freehand or Word (God help you) do the rest of the design community a favor and either buy a copy of CS3 and learn how to use it, or remove yourself from the industry.
