Adobe Systems officially announced this morning the Creative Suite 4 product family. The CS4 programs will feature a new workflow and “hundreds of feature innovations,” including tighter integration with Flash technology across the entire product line. The updates will be seen across Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design editions, Creative Suite 4 Web editions, Creative Suite 4 Production Premium, Creative Suite 4 Master Collection, as well as 13 point products, 14 integrated technologies and seven services.

Some of the major applications receiving updates are Photoshop CS4, Photoshop CS4 Extended, InDesign CS4, Illustrator CS4, Flash CS4 Professional, Dreamweaver CS4, After Effects CS4, and Adobe Premiere Pro CS4.

That’s right, mark the calendar, because September 23, 2008, is when Adobe will unveil CS4 and announce its availability, according to Lee Brimelow, a platform evangelist at Adobe.

CS4 likely will not be available on September 23rd, but simply announced. Adobe will discuss when we can get our hands on the next generation of the Creativity Suite, though you can expect it to drop before the end of 2008, according to the common rumor.
