Just got Adobe Design Premium CS4 for $20!

[NightSurge]

So through my University I was lucky enough to get Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium full edition for just $20!

My package includes:
Photoshop CS4 Extended
InDesign CS4
Flash CS4
DreamWeaver CS4
Illustrator CS4
FireWorks CS4
Bridge CS4
Version Cue CS4
Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro

Now I just have to learn how to fully utilize these! I used to know some basic stuff with Photoshop, but I haven't really used it in a few years now. Anyone know some good tutorials where I can learn some basic through advanced Photoshop affects/tricks? Or perhaps Fireworks?

DreamWeaver will be no problem to use. I already know enough HTML to get me by, so the added visual editor makes this even better!

What about Flash? I've always been interested in creating a flash or Java based web game. I have some relatively decent Java programming experience, and some basic GUI experience, etc, but nothing too deap as far as a fully visual and interactive moving character game. Anyone have some recommended starting points for Flash games programming, and is it even possible with Flash CS4? So far all I've ever used Flash was to make basic little flash videos.

Well, that's my braggery and beggary. surgeVel out.

Fireworks = <3

Play around with it, i find it simpler than Photoshop and you can do a lot with an image on it

My school finally got the CS4 suite for the A-level students, makes graphics work sooo much easier with Fireworks! ^_^ Gotta say, it's really well-made.

Awesome, that reminds me of when I was in school. I got Visio 2002, XP Pro ( 2 copies), VB.net =D for like $10 each.

These are full pro versions not limited versions.
