It should come as no surprise, but Adobe Systems has officially declared an end to development of FreeHand illustration software and is trying to coax users to its rival Illustrator package.
FreeHand, Macromedia's popular illustration tool, has been omitted from the company's upcoming developer suite, dubbed Studio 8.
Adobe Systems has launched Creative Suite 3, a showcase for the company's merger with rival Macromedia that is designed to smoothly combine Web design with content creation.
Adobe Australia has flagged retrenchments and refused to rule out product consolidation after the company's US$3.4 billion acquisition of Macromedia is concluded later this year.
Adobe Systems' multibillion-dollar takeover of rival software developer Macromedia received regulatory clearance last week.
In digital documents, Web applications and image editing, Adobe has a healthy head start. But Microsoft is making some noise.
CEO Bruce Chizen talks up the impending merger with Macromedia and what comes next for Flash.
Much of the future success of Adobe Systems hinges on the work done by its Platform Business Unit, which is headed by Kevin Lynch, the company's chief software architect.
Best known for apps like Photoshop, Adobe is relying on Kevin Lynch to break out of the shrink-wrapped software business.
The big, booming nation is much on the mind of Adobe's CEO. Then there are the little matters of Apple and Microsoft.
Freehand was once a powerful illustration tool, but does Macromedia's newest release keep up with the latest versions of CorelDraw, Illustrator and its other competition?
Print and Web designers who don't need support for film work will find enhanced integration throughout these updates to InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, Dreamweaver, and more.
Adobe CS3 Production Premium is ideal if you handle a mix of design, animation and editing tasks for video, the Web, and mobile gadgets.
For many years, Adobe Illustrator has set the standard for drawing programs in the print production environment, and with good reason. Version 10.0 also offers more powerful new drawing and automation tools.
Adobe is to bundle upgrades of its content creation applications into two integrated suites. Check out our preview for the components and prices.
