Chelanie Israel of Adobe Presents Creative Suite 2

Thursday, May 12, 2005
7:30 PM to 9:30 PM

Adobe Creative Suite 2 is a unified design environment that delivers the next level of integration in creative software. New features and tighter integration among suite components simplify creative and production tasks, enabling you to work more efficiently than ever before.

Join us for an exciting meeting with Chelanie Israel of Adobe on May 12 exploring the new Creative Suite 2 announced on April 4th. You'll get to see the best new features in each of the key products in the Creative Suite as well as the new Adobe Bridge file browser.

Version Cue CS2 includes enhancements in file versioning and review management, while other new features like Adobe Bridge, Adobe Stock Photos, color consistency, and unified Adobe PDF file creation offer greater productivity and collaboration.

Fully integrated, the applications that comprise Creative Suite 2 share common commands, palettes, and keyboard shortcut, making it easy to switch from one member of the Suite to another and to realize productivity gains as a result.
