Apple Reviews

Being in the design field, I use all of these programs everyday. Pagemaker is essential for layout, Illustrator is essential for design. Photoshop is a great program for photo editing, and of course, Acobat is what I use to pdf design proofs to customers. If you are just starting out in the field and want to start your own design business, I highly recommend this package. It is a great deal, and it has the most professional programs used in design today.

order this guy at ibackups.net.
it is only 70$ instead of 700 and you can drag the dowloaded files onto a CD-R to make a installation disc.

This is a awsome video editing program.\
Very stable, never crashes, and i'v had it for a while.
Its got tons of features and it will take a while to learn all of them, but you can make basic videos by the 2nd day. It reguires a hefty computer, i have a P4 @ 2.4 gigahertz, a lighting fast motherboard, 700 something ram and the program is still asking for more. Dont get me mistaken, it still runs fine, just to get the very very best performance you will need like to gigs of Ram and a 3.2 ghz processor.

I'm fairly computer literate, and bought this software following a friend's recommendation.

I did so about a month after buying my first camcorder, a DV one to be precise. So I think you can take it as read that I knew pretty much nothing going into this - hey, I like flashing the cash!

To be brutally honest, when I first got started with PremierPro I found it pretty daunting, given the sheer volume of possibility it conveys. After a few tips from my friend however I began to experiment once I'd mastered the basics.

I tell you now - if you have a DV camera and make home movies, BUY THIS SOFTWARE!! Never again will your relatives & friends yawn at the bad shots, poor sound quality, bare monotony and dullness of the usual family video.

This software makes me look like I know what I'm doing. I made the mistake when I first used my new camera by making use of the cool effects on it, but realised quickly that there was no need, because I could simply add them later with PremierPro.

To those above who mentioned having difficulty using this, put the manual aside and just experiment! Drag & drop and right-click your way to editting heaven.

I strongly recommend this product to anyone interested in making home movies, not just the Danny Boyles of this world (who used this software to make 28 Days Later!).

This excrutiangly awfull program should be avoided at all costs. I have wasted dozens of hours just trying to get it to work. In fact, I have spent more time trying to fix technical problems than I have spent editing video projects. Once the free technical support period expires, you'll have to pay two dollars a minute to speak to one of Adobe's inept technical support representatives.

Design, develop, and maintain a powerful Web presence, using tightly integrated tools built to enhance your creativity and accelerate your workflow. Whether you're new to Web publishing or a seasoned pro, move rapidly from information architecture to interactive graphics to the implementation and management of dynamic, data-driven sites. The software is compatible with both MAC OS X and OS 9. It's also an extremely economical choice (potentially saving hundreds of dollars) considering it includes full retail versions of Adobe Photoshop 7; Illustrator 10; GoLive 6.0; and LiveMotion 2.0.

I am just learning how to use this software. It is great.
Do not purchase Photoshop 7 in addition to this software as is
recommended on this page (It is included in Web Collection 5.0).

Comes with (somewhat in order of importance):
Adobe Photoshop 7.0
Adobe Illustrator 10
Adobe Image Ready 7.0
Adobe Go Live 6.0
Adobe Live Motion 2.0

This is a great collection. You get 4 of Adobe's best programs.
* Photoshop - THE program to use if you are designing advanced graphics.
* Pagemaker - Awesome program to do professional typesetting, or to impress people at school. I've used it to create a great looking booklet for a school project, etc.
* Acrobat - Create platform independant documents that will print the same way independent of the OS.
* Illustrator - Create vector based images, great to use when creating stickers, etc. using a plotter and a cutting blade.
