Adobe Systems to launch new versions of products

Dubai: Adobe Systems will announce the launch of Creative Suite 6 in San Francisco at 10am (7pm Dubai time), along with its new web-based subscription service - Creative Cloud - on its website.

A virtual global launch event will take place on Tuesday at 11am UAE time, where all the apps such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver and Premiere Pro will be demonstrated to the public for the first time.

"Designers get a tonne of innovation with CS6 with milestone release across all our flagship products," said Abdallah Saqqa, General Manager Middle East and North Africa at Adobe.

"With CS6 we're also introducing new products, new mobile workflows and advanced publishing capabilities that show we are laser-focused on ensuring design, web and video pros in the Middle East have everything they need for the delivery of high-impact content and apps," Saqqa said.

Adobe has introduced two new fonts for Arabic (Myriad Arabic and Adobe Naskh), improved the existing basic font - Adobe Arabic - and also now offers an automatic Kashida insertion with greater control over the length and the style of the character.

The revamped package is expected to be available in the region by end of May.
