CS4 Rocks Photokina in Köln
meine Freunde, hallo! Today was the official announce of CS4 @ Photokina, and what a day it was! While the show opened at 10:00am, the Adobe booth was 'veiled' in a black curtain until 10:45. At that time, the curtains dropped, and the crowd came rushing in; quite the sight to behold. I took the stage, along with fellow Adobe colleague and VP Kevin Connor, and we revved the audience, enticing them about CS4 and the upcoming launch video (streamed from the US).
After 15 minutes of intense vamping, screaming like-a-crazed-evangelist (in true form) and much anticipation, the video began, and so marked the day of the largest announce in Adobe's history: 13 new products, 4 suites, and 14 new technologies...crazy stuff. Here's what it looked like (all photos provided by our friend from Intel, Jörg Walther)

The countdown continues...it's going to be Brilliant!

CS4 will rock you, wouldn't you agree, Kevin?
And that's just the beginning, my friends. Stay tuned for more updates from Photokina and beyond. Next week (actually, in two weeks time) Greg Rewis and I will be presenting in South Africa at two CS4 events, one in Cape Town, another in Johannesburg,and we'll be sure to keep you informed on everything else coming up over the next few months.
Until next time...
