Save the date: Adobe will announce CS4 on September 23
Note, announce, not release, as some other tech news sites have erroneously reported. On September 23, 2008, Adobe will be formally announcing Creative Suite 4 (CS4). Adobe will be streaming the announcement and you can sign-up to receive a reminder message (or a handy iCal or Outlook entry) at adobe.istreamplanet.com.
Back in May, Adobe released some beta versions of a few of the titles in its CS4 lineup. Beta versions of Flash and Photoshop CS4 have also been floating around, though they have been officially restricted to a small subset of beta testers.
For Windows users, the big news with CS4 will be available in both 32 and 64-bit versions. This means that if you are running a 64-bit version of Vista, a program like Photoshop can access more memory. Sadly, for Mac users, despite having a 64-bit OS in Leopard, we won't be seeing 64-bit versions of Photoshop until CS5.
Having briefly played with the Fireworks and Dreamweaver CS4 betas, it is evident that Adobe has gone to great lengths to better integrate the Macromedia-acquired applications into the Adobe fold. I have also been able to play around with the next Photoshop release, code-named "Stonehenge" and let's just say it is impressive.
I purely speculating here, but I would imagine that CS4 will drop sometime in October. So Adobe fans, start saving those pennies now!

This is crazy, they have another version coming up? Probably going to be super expensive again.

Damn I can't wait to see how CS4 will look compared to CS3!
Btw, can you guys make a post about the best free calendar programs out there?

I love the way the betas look for CS4 more than CS3.. I just wish there was a Linux version, without using Wine.

I upgraded from PS CS2 to CS3 really only because of the multi-processor support and that was pretty much the only reason to do so from CS2 other than a few minor tweaks and Bridge.
I'm now one of the PS/Bridge CS4 beta testers.
CS4 is a whole different game and will be well worth the upgrade for anyone who uses this product.
The workflow upgrades in Bridge alone saved me days of time editing and processing a 10-day photoshoot, and the upgrades to Photoshop are in some cases, perfectly simple, but perfectly needed. This is going to be an A+ program in the same way as Photoshop 7 was when it first came out.
