Munich - Adobe is releasing the latest version of its Creative Suite earlier than planned.

Instead of a December release, Adobe says the new suite of applications for professional and enthusiast graphic designers and digital photographers will be available beginning in November. The name of the new suite is Creative Suite 4.

There will be several variations of the suite, including Design Premium and Web Premium. The differences among the variations will be which applications are included. Details are available at Adobe's new Creative Suite Web site (http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite). (dpa)
