Adobe Releases Updated Creative Suite

jonknee writes "MacMerc just noted that Adobe has dropped the motherload and updated most of its core non-video apps in a bundle called the Creative Suite: Photoshop, Illustrator, GoLive, InDesign and InCopy (a new product).It looks like Adobe PR popped the press releases a little early as not much is up on their site yet. The official debut will be tomorrow at a press event that looks to have a webcast."

Sorry.

I don't know what a "motherload" is. Is that about two toddlers, three bags of groceries, a purse, keys, coffee mug and cellphone?

It also occurs to me that perhaps we're talking about a mother lode, taken from gold mining and referring to a specific area of rich quartz veins, and now used to indicate "striking it big" or discovering a wealth of materials or information.

I don't know what a "motherload" is.

Nor do I, but it sounds awfully naughty.

The GIMP, a couple dozen sheets of overhead transparencies, some markers, a compass, a protractor, and tape to stick the overhead sheets to your monitor.

No, really, it's just as good as Illustrator!

What's newsworthy about this?

Besides the submitter's invention of the phrase "dropped the motherload", I suppose making InCopy available through retail sales is news.

In any case, it exceeds the new threshold for newsworthiness set by Change of Makedev() Semantics on FreeBSD.

When you're a mac user, any software update is exciting.

They have what, a whole 20 titles to look forward to?

Doesn't matter what platform or OS you use. All you need is:

A web browser
internet connectivity
keyboard/mouse or some input device
your right hand
pants with a zipper
lube (optional you may take it dry)
tissues

Fuck all that other shit, Photoshop and Gimp and SQL blah blah blah. Gimmie the tits and twat!

Re:Is this with new DRM?

Yeah, because Windows XP needs so much activation.

What could be easier than that? :-)

What's a motherload?

[Anonymous Coward]

whatever it is, it's gotta be less messy than a fatherload.

But now people know when to download from Kazaa

Alternatively, you might consider that not everybody knows when to start looking for their new software on Kazaa.

Y'see, media professionals and photographers, the main target group for Adobe's lines of software, such as myself, are probably already on Adobe's mailing list.
