A guide to Adobe

Adobe multimedia software

Adobe is one of the largest manufacturers of creative software, admired and trusted across the world for products that have become household names.

Photoshop, In-design and Dreamweaver are the products behind almost every magazine, newspaper and website that you view every day, while Acrobat is the most widely used PDF producing software in the world, used by just about every major company in the world.

Adobe professional standard

Adobe is the preferred choice of the professionals. Web designers, print designers, advertising agencies, architects, photographers, audio and video producers all swear by their software.

It makes sense that you choose to use the same software as these professionals, especially if you see yourself working in these industries in the short or long term future.

It takes quite a bit of hardware to support these products. Photoshop for example needs at least 1GB RAM, 1GB of spare hard disk space and a processor of at least 1.8 GHz.

If you are buying a complete creative suite, the you will need at least 10G hard disk space, 1GB RAM minimum and at least a 2 GHz processor.
