Top features:

Find and fix production errors twice as fast
You can save time and dramatically reduce costly production errors for print and digital layouts. Live Prefight in InDesign CS4 alerts you to potential problems in real time so you can quickly navigate to the error, fix it in layout, and keep working. Finding and fixing an error in a 2-page InDesign CS4 software layout with Live Prefight is nearly twice as fast as finding and fixing errors using the Prefight options in InDesign CS3.

Adjust images in half the time
Making three adjustments in the new Adjustments panel in Photoshop CS4 Extended is more than twice as fast as using Adjustment Layers in previous versions to achieve the same results. Work directly on an image with on-image controls and interact fluidly with Photoshop for image adjustments without having to deal with menu commands or dialog boxes.

Eliminate time spent looking for artwork
Save time by keeping all of your Illustrator artwork for a job in one place. With CS4, you can create Illustrator files containing up to 100 artboards of varying sizes. Save, export, and print artboards independently or together.

Animate in fewer steps
With the more efficient and powerful animation model in Adobe Flash CS4 Professional, you can automatically apply motion tweens to objects. With one click, and no handwritten code, you can create a motion tween in seconds. There’s never been a better time to try your hand at Flash.

Save time and cost of review cycles
Reduce review cycles by collecting feedback from clients more efficiently. Use the Share My Screen feature to access Adobe Connect and start an online meeting from within any CS4 application. Your client will see what’s on your screen and you can get feedback in real-time. Or, initiate a hosted PDF review session to quickly consolidate feedback from multiple reviewers.

Produce more content with less time and money
CS4 Design Premium maximizes your return on investment by putting an arsenal of new time-saving features at the fingertips of your creative staff. For example, with the new Adjustments panel in Photoshop CS4 Extended, designers can adjust the color and tone of digital images in half the time. Watch your designers deliver the work they do today in less time helping you manage resources more efficiently.

Maintain the highest production quality while reducing costs
Your clients and customers want the best their money can buy, but how do you deliver top quality with diminishing margins and increased competitive pressure? New features in CS4 Design Premium help you streamline everyday production tasks so your creative teams can deliver top quality work on tighter schedules. Plus, take advantage of new features like Live Prefight in InDesign and Live View in Dreamweaver which will help your teams find and fix production errors twice as fast eliminating costly mistakes.

Capitalize on the latest media trends with your existing creative teams
Designers comfortable working in Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign for print production can now quickly produce designs for digital media with CS4 Design Premium. Export InDesign documents to the XFL format and open them in Flash CS4 Professional with the visual fidelity of your original layout maintained. Use Flash to add sophisticated interactivity, animation, and navigation to complex layouts for an engaging reading experience. Tight integration between CS4 components means your developers can work with the files created by designers, rather than having to reproduce the design from scratch first.

Work more effectively with remote teams and clients
CS4 Design Premium offers convenient new ways to collaborate with clients and colleagues that will save time and money. Reduce the cost of travel and hosting remote meetings by using the Share My Screen feature in Creative Suite 4. Your creative teams can initiate a free online meeting from within their design software, to gain feedback quickly. Or, you can reduce the amount of time your staff spend collecting feedback from multiple reviewers with the hosted review and comment feature in Acrobat 9 Pro.
