This lesson will take about an hour to complete. The lesson must be done in Adobe ImageReady, not Adobe Photoshop. If needed, remove the previous lesson folder from your hard drive, and copy the Lessons/Lesson15 folder onto it. As you work on this lesson, you’ll overwrite the start files. If you need to restore the start files, copy them from the Adobe Photoshop CS2 Classroom in a Book CD. In addition, for this lesson, you will need to use a Web browser application (such as Netscape, Internet Explorer, or Safari). You do not need to connect to the Internet.

Instead of marketing the individual program components of the Creative Suite, Adobe Systems has spent much of its marketing effort Identifying file formats targeting the entire Creative Suite to design professionals. Figuring out file types This chapter offers a description of the Creative Suite programs and gives you an idea for how they work together. In this chapter, you ✦✦✦✦ learn about the purpose of each program and the relationship each program has with other members of the Creative Suite team. Also, you receive a brief summary of new features contained in the latest releases of the individual programs. Why Creative Suite? For the most part, each program in the Creative Suite is an upgrade from a previous version, and each is available for upgrades individu- ally. So, why is Adobe Systems spending so much marketing effort informing users about the benefits of the Creative Suite? And why talk about the Creative Suite as a single entity when users are likely to upgrade the individual software programs in their design studios? Or, you may think that you have one program developed by another software manufacturer that satisfies your design needs and fully supports document integration with many of the programs found in the Creative Suite.
