Adobe Creative Suite 2.0?

Think Secret reports that Adobe may announce Creative Suite 2.0, with Photoshop CS 2.0 (Photoshop 9) and Illustrator CS 2.0 (Illustrator 12), as soon as next week. It is expected to use Bridge, a cross-suite file browser, is not expected to include 64-bit Photoshop support, and may have "stricter product activation".

Among the expected Photoshop features: lossless scaling of placed files, automatic updating of such files when the original is edited, operations across a selection of layers, WYSIWYG fonts, and other improvements.

The "completely reworked" Illustrator is expected to provide a user experience more like that of Photoshop, a new vectorization tool, support for strike-through and underlined text, and other improvements.

I sometimes wonder what's in the drinking water at Adobe given the speed they bring new stuff out.

This is all great stuff except for the product activation but that's been heavily trailed...

As CS 2 will prob. have Acrobat 7 Pro in it, I can see this being well worth getting hold of.

And of course, the most heavily-guarded against leaks is InDesign 4...

I disagree completely. Some of these features in the whole package go beyond mere dot number changes...

You don't have to buy it...

"the ability to select multiple layers and perform manipulations across all of them at the same time"

If this means what it says then I think it's worth it... let alone all of the other stuff.

I sorta feel like they are running out of room. I am by no means the type of person that uses Photoshop to its fullest capabilities, and I am not sure what percentage of people are, but it just looks like Adobe is struggling to get out new features.

I don't blame them, as CS and PS are some of the strongest products they have, and Adobe would like to squeeze as many upgrade dollars as possible out of customers. Seeing how the upgrade from 7 to CS did nothing for me besides introduce a prettier slash screen, I doubt I'll be going to PS (version 9?) is CS 2.

Just to caution, if you are one of the people that really need one of these new features, I guess you won't take my opinion too strongly. Like I said, I don't really know how many Pro users are begging for these types of upgrades to an already great app.

This version is too early. It needs to come after Tiger and support some of Tiger's new features. Perhaps release at the same time as Tiger.

I need to start using Illustrator but I'm only familiar with Photoshop CS and from what I can see of Illustrator CS it's pretty confusing... this is good news to me!!

I knew some news was breaking when I tried posting and the thing was too busy...! Yay for new news!
