When Adobe released the CS6 Suite, maybe one entire year after they had just released CS5, I didn\u2019t have high expectations for it, the moment I saw that they had redesigned the software down from the splash graphics to the software\u2019s workspaces.<\/span><\/p>\n Recently, I ran into a problem in InDesign CS6, where I couldn\u2019t get a particular file to print, or export to PDF.\u00a0 Upon attempting to initiate either task, the program would crash.\u00a0 It was related to a problem in the file itself, as troubleshooting with blank new documents or other projects did not replicate the problem.\u00a0 After about 20 minutes of frustrating unsuccessful troubleshooting, I realized that I had still not uninstalled CS5.\u00a0 I saved my problematic file out as an IDML legacy file, and opened it up in InDesign CS5.<\/span><\/p>\n It printed without any complications.<\/span> In conclusion, it didn\u2019t work in CS6, because CS6 is fucking retarded.\u00a0 I thought about it for a second and chastised myself, because honestly, this was, and shouldn\u2019t ever have been, much of a surprise.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The way Adobe has progressed throughout the years has been pretty systematic.\u00a0 The pre-CS creative packaging of Photoshop 7.0, Illustrator 10 and the InDesign 2.0 was one of the most solid combinations I ever enjoyed.\u00a0 It was around this time that I feel that I had some of the most crucial growth in the development of the fairly-everyday skillset I use today.\u00a0 Even the first CS suite wasn\u2019t that bad.\u00a0 CS1 and CS2 versions of Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign were all solid programs, and there was noticeable advancement and integration of useful, convenience-creating solutions going from one to the other.<\/span><\/p>\n When CS3 came out, it created a whole new chapter for the company, because this was the first generation in which Adobe officially launched all of their new Macromedia assets under their own name.\u00a0 Dreamweaver, Flash, Fireworks joined the suite and list of software I use and\/or dabble with from time to time, and most of Freehand\u2019s most useful functions were assimilated into Illustrator and InDesign (except for the all-important ability to create multi-page documents of varying sizes).<\/span><\/p>\n But this endeavor ended up turning into this beautiful disaster, and sowed the seeds of resentment towards Adobe for this graphic designer.\u00a0 Photoshop and Illustrator were mostly fine, but InDesign, quite possibly my bread and butter, turned out to be this program of endless misery and inexplicable ass-hattery.\u00a0 Constant crashes, unexplainable events of malfunction, file corruption; you name the problem, it existed somewhere in the bowels of the software.\u00a0 CS3 caused me to have some of the most elaborate rages in my professional life, and I\u2019ve brogged about my discontent towards Adobe on numerous platforms, many different times.\u00a0 And no, I am not the one responsible for writing the segment on Wikipedia about how much InDesign CS3 sucked; clearly, I am not the only designer on the planet to have felt this resentment.<\/span><\/p>\n Anyway, CS4 was a welcome upgrade, and much to my pleasure, InDesign, among the other software in the suite definitely seemed more stable.\u00a0 CS5 was just as seamless, and to be honest, I still didn\u2019t really recall the most notable differences off the top of my head, but the fact that I went about my days using CS5 with minimal problems is testament to its stability, in my opinion.<\/span><\/p>\n But then CS6 was released suspiciously quick, and it was at this point I realized that Adobe operated much like a car company.\u00a0 But instead of four-year generational lifespans, Adobe seemed to operate in three-year cycles.\u00a0 CS1 and CS2 built off and perfected what was originally laid out in the initial creative suite.\u00a0 CS4 and CS5 improved on the fucking nightmare spawned in CS3.\u00a0 And CS6 is the start of the new generation of the Adobe creative suites.<\/span><\/p>\n The rule of thumb with cars is that you typically avoid the first year of a new generation.\u00a0 Let that first year get all the kinks, recalls, and flaws ironed out.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t care about being last in line, the fourth year of a car\u2019s generation is almost always the most reliable year, because it\u2019s had three years to perfect.\u00a0 Adobe\u2019s kind of the same way.\u00a0 And much like its predecessors, the first generation always sucks, and leaves us already counting down the days until the release of CS7.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When Adobe released the CS6 Suite, maybe one entire year after they had just released CS5, I didn\u2019t have high expectations for it, the moment I saw that they had redesigned the software down from the splash graphics to the software\u2019s workspaces.
