Post your comments for Adobe Creative Suite 6 launch propels design, Web, and video apps onto center stage here

Some ideas have been around for a while.
In 1985, the Mindset computer's Lumena program used individual images from a master image containing multiple frames as in Flash's sprite sheet.

The question is will someone who uses Fireworks, like me, be the kind of person who thinks consciously about server requests, and execute the sprite feature from Fireworks. Or will they expect a developer to handle that level of detail...

F-ing finally, I don't have to buy a separate version for Arabic documents.

Also something they forgot to mention that in photoshop they redid the vector engine so it doesn't suck so much and you no longer have to use illustrator to important dashed lines. It can actually do them inside the program.

I don't know about Photoshop, but for inDesign Middle East edition, you STILL must buy a separate version of inDesign for Arabic and Hebrew language support. So not only do you have the Creative Suite 6 with English-only versions, but if you want to upgrade or buy any ME edition, you have to pay separately -- just as we have had to do in the past. The only difference is now we are buying it from Adobe, instead of WinSoft in France.

From Adobe's web page: "Buy and update the Middle Eastern version of InDesign directly from Adobe for easier localization of global documents and enhanced functionality."

You could buy it from Adobe before, but they were sort of oblivious at times they even sold it. I had to do with a company I was working for, so its sounds like nothing changed there so that is a bummer. The article made it sound like otherwise. I hate having to buy two packages, just so I can do Arabic. Every other language is included in the US package, (ie French, Spanish, Japanese, Chines, Korean, Russian).
