Bridge CS4
Bridge is a file browser and organization tool for the Creative Suite. It allows you to group Photoshop images into stacks, rate files on a star basis, and view metadata. It is an essential tool for anyone who works with a large amount of media.
Photoshop Extended CS4
Photoshop Extended is the industry-standard image editing suite with 3D support for film, video, multimedia, engineering and science professionals. The software allows you to import popular 3D image model formats, work with medical DICOM images, and create animations.

Extended can also work with 2D images, as it encompasses all of the features of the standard edition of Photoshop. This allows you to edit stills using a powerful layer-based approach. It also features smart filters to add artistic effects, powerful color and curve controls, digital camera raw image support, and text tools.
Illustrator CS4
Illustrator is a powerful vector graphics creation application. The software features standard drawing tools as well as flexible color and typography features. The software features integration with Adobe Flash and support for Pantone color swatches. Illustrator is often used by graphic designers, web content creators, and visual effects specialists in creative projects.
InDesign CS4
InDesign is a powerful graphic design application. It features advanced page layout tools that can be used to make striking visual designs for magazine, print advertising, and other media. InDesign integrates with other applications in the Adobe Creative Suite, allowing designers to easily integrate it into a professional workflow. The software is an excellent choice for print design and page layout tasks.
Acrobat 9 Pro
Acrobat is a powerful application that allows you to create and edit documents in the popular Portable Document Format (PDF) file format. PDF files appear the same when they are displayed on any computer screen or printed, so they are an ideal way to electronically distribute media where proper page layout and presentation are imperative. This is a great way to create electronic user manuals, brochures, forms, or memos.
Flash CS4Professional
Flash is a development suite that is used to create Flash animations, videos, and applications. Flash is the industry-standard file format for multimedia web and mobile content delivery. The software features full integration with the other applications in the Adobe Creative Suite, including Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, and Premiere Pro. Flash is an essential tool for multimedia web development.
Dreamweaver CS4
Dreamweaver is a powerful web development tool that allows you to work with HTML, XML, and CSS data in either a code-based or powerful visual-based interface. The software features tools that help you better develop "best practices" web sites that are compliant with web standards. Dreamweaver seamlessly integrates with Fireworks, Flash, Photoshop, and Illustrator, making it a crucial component for a powerfully streamlined web development workflow.
Fireworks CS4
Fireworks is a software program that is designed to be used for creating rough prototype versions of web sites and interfaces. The software lets you create, edit, and optimize vector and bitmap images for use on the web. This is an excellent tool for graphic designers to use to present web interfaces to clients and web developers.
Device Central CS4
Device Central is designed to help developers create applications for display on mobile phones, PDAs, and other portable devices. Device emulators will show you exactly what your project will look like on a specific mobile device, going so far as to emulate its processing power and memory. You'll be able to control the application using a clickable interface that reproduces buttons and controls on emulated device. The included library of devices is limited to those that support Flash Lite.

Comments about Adobe Design Premium CS4 Software Suite for Windows (Upgrade from Creative Suite Premium/Standard 1.x/2.x, Studio MX 2004, Studio 8):

I have been really enjoying this Graphics Suite. There is so much that has been added to it. I really don't have enough time or space to talk about it here. I just got it at the beginning of the month so I am still learning all the new features. There is really a lot to learn. I use this software everyday- so I'm sure it will come quickly. I have not been able to mess around in Flash as much. But, I know there are some new features in there. I think the time line has been re-designed. That is going to take some getting used to. Also, there are a lot of things that have been smoothed out for the Flash design process.

Photoshop is awesome as usual. There are a lot of improvements to RAW. I also really like how much more smoothly it operates.

Illustrator is great too. I'm still working through some of the things in there.

I'm also really interested in the updates to InDesign. I use that and Photoshop 90% of the time. One think I really like throughout the suite is the tabbed window feature. That makes it much easier to have several projects open at once.
