Adobe Systems Inc, the maker of Photoshop and Acrobat software, started public trials of its next-generation design software on Tuesday.
Registered owners of Creative Suite 3, however, will be allowed to use these betas until the release of CS4, which currently has no release date. However, unless Adobe has some kind of registration system built into those betas, they may need to be installed on production systems alongside CS3.
The beta software is available for free download.

Beta programs are near-final versions of software that its makers allow users to try out in a bid to discover bugs before the products go on sale. Some software makers conduct their betas publicly while others do so in secret, requiring users to sign nondisclosure agreements.

Adobe has yet to start public trials of the CS4 versions of other programs in the CS4 suite, which includes Photoshop and Illustrator.
Adobe's popular Web design and development tool Dreamweaver received a couple of noteworthy updates, including a Related Files toolbar, a Code Navigator, and a Live View Mode. The related files toolbar provides instant access to files used within a page, whether XML, JavaScript docs, or HTML; and the code navigator function allows code updates to be performed in several places with a single entry. Live View Mode is based upon the open source Webkit browser engine which also powers Safari. With this tool, a live preview of projects can be viewed within Dreamweaver.

Pros and cons of Adobe Photoshop Express

Online photo enthusiasts can now get an additional tool for getting their photos fixed.
Given the brand name,the Adobe Photo Express can give a hard time to other online photo-editing services.

I'd like to discuss here a few possible pros and cons of this service

Pros

• variety of image adjustment and filtering tools
• Adobe Photoshop Express emphasizes photo sharing and online galleries
• includes links to social networking
• Also linked to photo sharing sites Facebook, Photobucket, and Picasa
• At some point, Adobe Photoshop Express should be available as a desktop application(Apple's iPhoto)
• Aiming at photo hobbyists

Cons

• Not likely to be meaningful to its professional Photoshop CS3 customers
• service offers up to 2 Gbytes of online storage(not sufficient for professionals)
• Professional photographers often use hundreds of gigabytes of storage and use third party photoshop plugins that aren't available
• limits uploads to 10 megabytes and 4000 pixels in height and width
