'''Adobe Creative Suite''' ('''CS''') is a discontinued [[software suite]] of [[graphic design]], [[video editing]], and [[web development]] [[application software|applications]] developed by [[Adobe Systems]].

== Editions ==
Adobe sold Creative Suite applications in several different combinations called "editions", these included:
* '''Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design Standard''' is an edition of the Adobe Creative Suite 6 family of products intended for professional print, web, interactive and mobile designers.
* '''Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design & Web Premium''' is an edition of the Adobe Creative Suite 6 family of products intended for professional web designers and developers.
* '''Adobe Creative Suite 6 Production Premium''' is an edition of the Adobe Creative Suite 6 family of products intended for professional [[rich media]] and video post-production experts who create projects for film, video, broadcast, web, DVD, Blu-ray Disc, and mobile devices.
* '''Adobe Creative Suite 6 Master Collection''' contains applications from all of the above editions.

[[Adobe Flash Catalyst]], [[Adobe Contribute]], Adobe OnLocation, and [[Adobe Device Central]], previously available in CS5.5, have been dropped from the CS6 line-up. [[Adobe Prelude]] and [[Adobe Encore]] are not released as standalone products. Adobe Encore is available as part of [[Adobe Premiere Pro]]. [[Adobe InCopy]], a [[Word processor|word processing]] application that integrates with [[Adobe InDesign]], is also part of the Creative Suite family, but is not included in any CS6 edition.

In March 2013, it was reported that Adobe would no longer sell boxed copies of the Creative Suite software, instead offering digital downloads and monthly subscriptions.<ref>{{cite web | url= https://www.theverge.com/2013/3/13/4098736/adobe-phasing-out-boxed-copies-of-creative-suite-and-acrobat | title = Adobe 'phasing out' boxed copies of Creative Suite and Acrobat | publisher=TheVerge | date=March 13, 2013 | access-date= March 13, 2013 | last = Robertson | first = Adi}}</ref>

== History ==

=== Creative Suite 1 and 2 ===
[[File:Adobe Creative Suite 2 logo.svg|right|thumb|The Adobe Creative Suite 2 logo]]
The first version of Adobe Creative Suite was released in September 2003<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pressreleases/200309/092903CREATIVESUITE.html | title = Creative Suite | type = press release | publisher = Adobe | access-date = 2010-04-04 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100509011539/http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pressreleases/200309/092903CREATIVESUITE.html | archive-date = May 9, 2010 | url-status = dead }}</ref> and Creative Suite 2 in April 2005.<ref>{{cite web | url= https://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pressreleases/200504/040405CreativeSuite.html | title= Creative Suite 2 | type= press release | publisher= Adobe | access-date= 2010-04-04 | archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100401085746/http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pressreleases/200504/040405CreativeSuite.html | archive-date= April 1, 2010 | url-status= dead }}</ref> The first two versions (CS and CS2) were available in two editions.

The Standard Edition included:
* [[Adobe Bridge]] (since CS2)
* [[Adobe Illustrator]]
*[[Adobe InCopy]]
* [[Adobe InDesign]]
* [[Adobe Photoshop]]
*[[Adobe Premiere Pro]] (since CS2)
* [[Adobe ImageReady]]
* Adobe Version Cue
* Design guide and training resources
* Adobe Stock Photos

The Premium Edition also included:
* [[Adobe Acrobat|Adobe Acrobat Professional]] (Version 8 in CS2.3)
* [[Adobe Dreamweaver]] (since CS2.3)<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pressreleases/200609/091806CreativeSuite.html |date=18 September 2006 |access-date=10 January 2014 |publisher=[[Adobe Systems]] |title=New Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional Enhances Adobe Creative Suite 2.3 |quote=Adobe Creative Suite 2.3 Premium also bundles Dreamweaver® 8 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070323064143/http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pressreleases/200609/091806CreativeSuite.html |archive-date=23 March 2007 }}</ref>
* [[Adobe GoLive]]

Creative Suite helped InDesign become the dominant publishing software, replacing [[QuarkXPress]], because customers who purchased the suite for Photoshop and Illustrator received InDesign at no additional cost.<ref name="girard20140113">{{Cite news |url=https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014/01/quarkxpress-the-demise-of-a-design-desk-darling/ |title=How QuarkXPress became a mere afterthought in publishing |last=Girard |first=Dave |date=2014-01-13 |work=Ars Technica}}</ref>

Adobe shut down the "activation" servers for CS2 in December 2012, making it impossible for licensed users to reinstall the software if needed. In response to complaints, Adobe then made available for download a version of CS2 that did not require online activation, and published a serial number to activate it offline.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.adobe.com/downloads/cs2_downloads/ |title = CS2 downloads|publisher=Adobe|date=2013-01-01|access-date=2013-01-20}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url= http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1114930 | title = Adobe Community: Looking to activate Creative Suite 2, Acrobat 7, or Macromedia products? | publisher= Adobe |date= 2002-07-21 |access-date=2013-02-03}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.adobe.com/downloads/cs2_downloads/index.html |title=Adobe CS2 Downloads |publisher=Adobe |date=2013-01-08 |url-status=dead |archive-url=http://webarchive.loc.gov/all/20130108024913/http%3A//www.adobe.com/downloads/cs2_downloads/index.html |archive-date=January 8, 2013 }}</ref> Because there was no mechanism to prevent people who had never purchased a CS2 license from downloading and activating it, it was widely thought that the aging software had become [[freeware]], despite Adobe's later explanation that it was intended only for people who had "legitimately purchased CS2".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.adobe.com/downloads/cs2_downloads/index.html |title=Adobe CS2 Downloads |publisher=Adobe |date=2013-01-24 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://webarchive.loc.gov/all/20130108024913/http%3A//www.adobe.com/downloads/cs2_downloads/index.html |archive-date=January 8, 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.mobilemag.com/2013/01/14/adobe-cs2-is-now-available-for-free-sort-of/ | title = Adobe CS2 is Now Available for Free, Sort Of | publisher = Mobile Magazine | date = 2013-01-14 | access-date = 2013-01-20 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130118062409/http://www.mobilemag.com/2013/01/14/adobe-cs2-is-now-available-for-free-sort-of/ | archive-date = 2013-01-18 | url-status = dead }}</ref> The later shutdown of the CS3 and CS4 activation servers was handled differently, with registered users given the opportunity to get individual serial numbers for offline activation, rather than a published one.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2018-02-05|title=Re: CS3, Acrobat 8 ~ Activation Servers Retired|url=https://community.adobe.com/t5/download-install/cs3-acrobat-8-activation-servers-retired/m-p/9291719#M45952|url-status=live|access-date=2021-07-29|website=Adobe|language=en|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210729144950/https://community.adobe.com/t5/download-install/cs3-acrobat-8-activation-servers-retired/m-p/9291719 |archive-date=2021-07-29 }}</ref>

=== Creative Suite Production Studio ===
'''Adobe Creative Suite Production Studio''' (previously ''Adobe Video Collection'') was a suite of programs for acquiring, editing, and distributing digital video and audio that was released during the same timeframe as Adobe Creative Suite 2.  The suite was available in standard and premium editions.

The Adobe Production Studio Premium edition consisted of:
* [[Adobe After Effects]] Professional
* [[Adobe Audition]]
* [[Adobe Bridge]]
* [[Adobe Encore|Adobe Encore DVD]]
* [[Adobe Premiere Pro]]
* [[Adobe Photoshop]]
* [[Adobe Illustrator]]
* [[Adobe Dynamic Link]] (Not sold separately)

The Standard edition consisted of:
* [[Adobe After Effects|Adobe After Effects Standard]]
* [[Adobe Bridge]]
* [[Adobe Premiere Pro]]
* [[Adobe Photoshop]]

Since CS3, Adobe Production Studio became part of the Creative Suite family.  The equivalent version for Production Studio Premium is the ''Adobe Creative Suite Production Premium''.

=== Macromedia Studio ===
'''Macromedia Studio''' was a suite of programs designed for web content creation designed and distributed by Macromedia. After [[Adobe Systems|Adobe]]'s 2005 acquisition of Macromedia, Macromedia Studio 8 was replaced, modified, and integrated into two editions of the Adobe Creative Suite family of software from version 2.3 onwards. The closest relatives of Macromedia Studio 8 are now called ''Adobe Creative Suite Web Premium''.

Core applications from Macromedia Studio have been merged with Adobe Creative Suite since CS3, including Flash, Dreamweaver, and Fireworks. Some Macromedia applications were absorbed into existing Adobe products, e.g. [[Macromedia FreeHand|FreeHand]] has been replaced with Adobe Illustrator. [[Macromedia Director|Director]] and [[Adobe ColdFusion|ColdFusion]] are not part of Adobe Creative Suite and will only be available as standalone products. The final version of Macromedia Studio released include:
* '''Macromedia Studio MX''' Released May 29, 2002, internally it was version 6 and the first incarnation of the studio to use the "MX" suffix, which for marketing purposes was a shorthand abbreviation that meant "Maximize". Studio MX included Dreamweaver, Flash, FreeHand, Fireworks and a developer edition of ColdFusion.
* '''Macromedia Studio MX Plus''' Released February 10, 2003, sometimes referred to as MX 1.1. MX Plus was a special edition release of MX that included Freehand MX (replacing Freehand 10), Contribute and DevNet Resource Kit Special Edition in addition to the existing MX suite of products.
* '''Macromedia Studio MX 2004''' Released September 10, 2003, despite its name, it is internally version 7. Studio MX 2004 included FreeHand along with updated versions of Dreamweaver, Flash and Fireworks. An alternate version of Studio MX 2004 included Flash Professional and a new interface for Dreamweaver.
* '''Macromedia Studio 8''' Released September 13, 2005, Studio 8 was the last version of Macromedia Studio. It comprised Dreamweaver 8, Flash 8, Flash 8 Video Converter, Fireworks 8, Contribute 3 and [[Macromedia FlashPaper|FlashPaper]].

=== Creative Suite 3 ===
[[File:Adobe Creative Suite 3 logo.png|right|thumb|The Adobe Creative Suite 3 logo]]
Adobe Creative Suite 3 (CS3) was announced on March 27, 2007; it introduced [[universal binary|universal binaries]] for all major programs for the [[Apple Macintosh]],<ref>{{cite news | url = http://adobe.com/products/pdfs/intelmacsupport.pdf | title = Support for Intel-based Mac computers | publisher = Adobe | date = 2006-01-31 | access-date = 2006-09-29 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20061029002222/http://www.adobe.com/products/pdfs/intelmacsupport.pdf | archive-date = 2006-10-29 | url-status = dead }}</ref> as well as including all of the core applications from Macromedia Studio and Production Studio.

Some Creative Suite programs also began using the [[Presto (layout engine)|Presto]] [[Browser engine|layout engine]] used in the [[Opera (web browser)|Opera]] [[web browser]].<ref>{{cite web| url = http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/2007/03/28/9-2-beta |title=9.2 Beta&nbsp;– By Opera Desktop Team|last=Borg|first=Johan|publisher=[[Opera Software|Opera Software ASA]]|date=2007-03-28|access-date= 2009-02-08}}</ref>

Adobe began selling CS3 applications in six different combinations called "editions." Design Standard & Premium and Web Standard & Premium began shipping on April 16, 2007, and Production Premium and Master Collection editions began shipping on July 2, 2007.  The latest released CS3 version was version 3.3, released on June 2, 2008. In this version Fireworks CS3 was included in Design Premium and all editions that had included Acrobat 8 Pro had it replaced with Acrobat 9 Pro.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pressreleases/200806/060208AdobeCS3.3.html |title=Press Room: For immediate release |publisher=Adobe |date=2009-07-14 |access-date=2010-04-04 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100314042712/http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pressreleases/200806/060208AdobeCS3.3.html |archive-date=2010-03-14 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Below is a matrix of the applications included in each edition of CS3 version 3.3:

CS3 included several programs, including [[Adobe Dreamweaver|Dreamweaver]], [[Flash Professional]], and [[Adobe Fireworks|Fireworks]] that were developed by [[Macromedia]], a former rival acquired by Adobe in 2005. It also included Adobe OnLocation and [[Adobe Ultra]] that were developed by Serious Magic, also a firm acquired by Adobe in 2006.

Adobe dropped the following programs (that were previously included in CS2) from the CS3 software bundles:<ref>

* [[Adobe GoLive]] ''(replaced by [[Adobe Dreamweaver]])''
* [[Adobe ImageReady]] ''(merged into [[Adobe Photoshop]] and replaced by [[Adobe Fireworks]])''
*''[[Adobe Audition]]'' ''(replaced by [[Adobe Audition|Adobe Soundbooth]])''

Adobe had announced that it would continue to develop Audition as a standalone product, while GoLive had been discontinued. Adobe GoLive 9 was released as a standalone product on June 10, 2007.  Adobe Audition 3 was announced as a standalone product on September 6, 2007.  Adobe had discontinued ImageReady and had replaced it with Fireworks, with some of ImageReady's features integrated into Photoshop. Audition became part of the Creative Suite again in CS5.5 when Soundbooth was discontinued.

=== Creative Suite 4 ===
[[File:Adobe Creative Suite 4 logo.png|right|thumb|Adobe Creative Suite 4 logo]]
Adobe Creative Suite 4 (CS4) was announced on September 23, 2008, and officially released on October 15, 2008.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pressreleases/pdfs/200810/101508AdobeCS4avail.pdf | title = Adobe Creative Suite 4 Now Shipping | publisher = Adobe | type = press release | access-date = 2008-10-16 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20081030170838/http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pressreleases/pdfs/200810/101508AdobeCS4avail.pdf | archive-date = October 30, 2008 | url-status = dead }}</ref> All applications in CS4 featured the same user interface, with a new tabbed interface for working with concurrently running Adobe CS4 programs where multiple documents can be opened inside multiple tabs contained in a single window.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.atelier-us.com/consumers-and-ecommerce/article/adobe-creative-suite-4-release-brings-unprecedented-efficiency-via-a-unified-application-interface |title=Adobe Creative Suite 4 Software Brings Unprecedented Efficiency via a Unified Application Interface |publisher=Atelier-us |date=2008-10-07 |access-date=2010-04-04 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090503180119/http://www.atelier-us.com/consumers-and-ecommerce/article/adobe-creative-suite-4-release-brings-unprecedented-efficiency-via-a-unified-application-interface |archive-date=2009-05-03 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Adobe CS4 was also developed to perform better under 64-bit and [[multi-core processor]]s.  On [[Microsoft Windows|MS Windows]], Adobe Photoshop CS4 ran natively as a [[64-bit]] application.  Although they were not natively 64-bit applications, Adobe After Effects CS4 and Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 had been optimized for 64-bit computers.<ref>{{cite web| url = https://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/production/pdfs/cs4_production_premium_64bit_wp.pdf | title = Adobe Creative Suite Production Premium 64-bit Optimization White Paper| publisher = Adobe | access-date = 2013-01-11| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100514052753/http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/production/pdfs/cs4_production_premium_64bit_wp.pdf | archive-date= May 14, 2010 | url-status = live}}</ref> However, there were no 64-bit versions of CS4 available for [[macOS|Mac OS X]].<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.betanews.com/article/Adobe_CS4_will_be_64bit_but_only_on_Windows/1207258861 |title=Adobe CS4 will be 64-bit, but only on Windows |date=3 April 2008 | publisher =Beta news | access-date=2010-04-04}}</ref> Additionally, CS4 was the last version of Adobe Creative Suite installable on the [[PowerPC]] architecture on [[macOS|Mac OS X]],<ref>{{cite web|url= https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/system-requirements-cs4-point-products.html#main_MacintoshSystemReqs |title=System Requirements (CS4, Point Products) | publisher =Adobe | access-date=2020-06-30}}</ref> although not all applications in the suite are available for PowerPC. The unavailable products on PowerPC include the featured applications within the Production Premium collection (Soundbooth, Encore, After Effects, Premiere, and OnLocation). In early testing of 64-bit support in Adobe Photoshop CS4, overall performance gains ranged from 8% to 12%, due to the fact that 64-bit applications could address larger amounts of memory and thus resulted in less file swapping&nbsp;— one of the biggest factors that can affect data processing speed.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshop/faq/ | work = Photoshop CS4 | title = FAQ |publisher=Adobe |date=2009-07-14 |access-date=2010-04-04| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100218163756/http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshop/faq/| archive-date= February 18, 2010 | url-status = live}}</ref>

Two programs were dropped from the CS4 line-up: [[Adobe Ultra]], a vector keying application which utilizes image analysis technology to produce high quality [[chroma key]] effects in less than ideal lighting environments and provides keying of a subject into a virtual 3D environment through virtual set technology, and Adobe Stock Photos. Below is a matrix of the applications that were bundled in each of the software suites for CS4:

==== Creative Suite 5.5 ====
Following the release of CS5 in April 2010, Adobe changed its release strategy to an every other year release of major number installments. CS5.5 was presented on April 12, 2011, as an in-between program until CS6. The update helped developers optimize websites for a variety of tablets, smart phones, and other devices. At the same time, Adobe announced a subscription-based pay service as an alternative to full purchase.<ref>{{cite web| last = Brady | first = Russell | url = http://blogs.adobe.com/conversations/2011/04/introducing-adobe-creative-suite-5-5-product-family.html | title= Introducing Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Product Family | publisher = Adobe | date = 2011-04-10 | work = Conversations | type = Web log | access-date=2013-02-03}}</ref> On July 1, 2011, Adobe Systems announced its Switcher Program, which will allow people who had purchased any version of Apple's Final Cut Pro or Avid Media Composer to receive a 50 percent discount on Creative Suite CS5.5 Production Premium or Premiere Pro CS5.5.<ref>{{Citation | first = Don | last = Reisinger | publisher = CNET | url = http://news.cnet.com/8301-13506_3-20076042-17/adobe-tries-discounts-to-woo-final-cut-pro-ranters/?part=rss&subj=news&tag=2547-1_3-0-20 | title = Adobe tries discounts to woo Final Cut Pro ranters | date = Jul 1, 2011 | access-date = Jul 1, 2011}}.</ref>

Not all products were upgraded to CS5.5 in this release; applications that were upgraded to CS5.5 included [[Adobe InDesign]], [[Adobe Flash Catalyst]], [[Adobe Flash Professional]], [[Adobe Dreamweaver]], [[Adobe Premiere Pro]], [[Adobe After Effects]], and [[Adobe Device Central]]. [[Adobe Audition]] also replaced [[Adobe Soundbooth]] in CS5.5, [[Adobe Story]] was first offered as an [[Adobe AIR|AIR]]-powered screenwriting and preproduction application, and [[Adobe Acrobat X|Adobe Acrobat X Pro]] replaced Acrobat 9.3 Pro.

On May 5, 2013, during the opening keynote of its [[Adobe MAX]] conference, Adobe announced that it was retiring the "Creative Suite" branding in favor of "Creative Cloud", and making all future feature updates to its software (now appended with "CC" instead of "CS", e.g. Photoshop CC) available via the Creative Cloud subscription service rather than through the purchasing of perpetual licenses.<ref name= "TNW">{{cite web| last= Yeung |first= Ken | url = https://thenextweb.com/insider/2013/05/06/after-nearly-10-years-adobe-abandons-its-creative-suite-entirely-to-focus-on-creative-cloud/ |title=Adobe Abandons Its Creative Suite to Focus on Creative Cloud |publisher= The next Web | date =2013-05-06 |access-date= 2013-05-26}}</ref>
