InDesign CS4 includes many improvements that will appeal to its traditional user base of print designers, as well making things easier for those creating interactive projects.
The CS4 version of Premiere Pro goes some way to turning the tool into a true competitor for Apple’s mighty Final Cut Pro. It has one outstandingly useful new feature, plus a bunch of welcome additions.
