Adobe is popular for its photo and video editing softwares and applications, but it is most widely utilized as a freebie product by millions of people worldwide. It is the technology and innovation operating behind the scenes on most websites and web servers that allows users to enjoy videos online.

As reported in the New York Times, Adobe is to announce that Adobe Flash is being extended to Televisions in the upcoming National Association of Broadcasters convention in LA.

Shantanu Narayen, Adobe CEO, expects TVs and set top boxes supporting the Flash format to be on the US market later in 2009. One of the top benefit of Flash tecnology is coming to the TV screen. With this users will be able to watch the same videos on PC, Phones and TV screens.

Disney CTO Bud Albers said in a statement that his company is one of the backers of Flash on the TV, stating “Coming generations of consumers clearly expect to get their content wherever they want on it, on any device, when they want it. This gets us where we want to go.”

Thanks in part to Flash, Adobe is reporting impressive profit figures. It makes money by selling software that allows media creators to build Flash applications and video. Flash is installed on 98% of all computers and 80% of web videos are viewed using Flash technology. In 2008, Adobe reported an income of $871.8 million on revenue of $3.6 billion.

Never one to give ground on any of its many related markets, Microsoft is puching a Flash option called Silverlight which it claims has better support for HD 1080p video contentt. Microsoft states that HD capability is vital in a form format that is to be standard for video on TV. Microsoft’s Brad Becker (a former Adobe executive) said, “I can’t imagine what could be more important on a television than high video quality.”

There’s not been a real competitor to Adobe for ages – Microsoft could just start bridging the gap between the PC and the TV more effectively.

When you think of designing images on your computer you normally think of Photoshop. When you think about publishing any kind of document you think of Microsoft word. Professional designers and desktop publishers rely on Adobe’s tools to make their industry fundamentally work, the Adobe software is the life line of putting together a piece of work and there is really nothing else that rivals it on the market at the moment. Recently, Adobe have just released the upgrade to Creative Suite 4 and it is worth every penny for the design professional.Whether you are a design agency or an individual with a professional interest you can make this program work for you!

Normally, you can only buy these program’s in a bulk package which obviously makes it rather expensive, however Adobe have now made each individual program available so anyone can buy it at a bit more of an affordable price. It is available for both Mac and PC and consists of various programs including, Photoshop CS4, In Design CS4, Illustrator CS4, Flash CS4, Dreamweaver CS4, Fireworks CS4 and Acrobat CS4. I have used the far superior Mac version of this suite and it is incredible. The flow and ease of use is astounding. The full package will cost you about $2,200 or up to $1,800 for the upgrade from CS3. That is a pretty scary amount for a part time designer at home but for a graphic design business it is not that bad at all if you consider the return on investment.

So, what is new about this design suite? Well, compared to previous versions of the creative suite it offers far more fluidity between projects. For example, if you had flash and Dreamweaver open at the same time you can easily swap between projects with no hassle which is a big advantage in the design world. The workflow is far simpler and allows designers to apply themselves to different media interfaces at a touch of a button.For example, if you were a professional working in an advertising agency you could switch between In Design and Flash projects seemlessly which would help cut down wasted time.
