Adobe has announced a new version of its flagship product line, Creative Suite 4. The suite boasts more seamless integration between applications as well as a whole slew of new features that will no doubt change our workflow over the coming months.

A few features—AIR integration, Dynamic Link, improved Device Central, and Connect Now, which allows users to share their screen from within an application—are available across multiple applications, while individual apps have seen significant overhauls as well. Hopefully the apps will load faster too, but I’m not going to hold my breath.
