frequently asked questions
- What are the benefits of a suite over an individual product?
- The Adobe Creative Suite 4 family of products are a complete, integrated toolset that offers unprecedented levels of integration across its video, audio, and web software. Since you're likely to need more than one application during the creative process, it is a smart and more affordable option to invest a Creative Suite edition instead of individual products. Plus, you get the added benefit of suite-only integration between components such as Dreamweaver, Fireworks, and Flash Professional which eliminates intermediate rendering between applications - a time-saving benefit you don't get if you invest individual products.
