Does anyone know why Photoshop has been replaced with Illustrator in Tech Comm Suite 4?

I think this is true because during an update, you can install the new suite without uninstalling the other. But does that mean we do not enjoy the new Photoshop.

It's totally incomprehensible. If many people wants Illustrator and no Photoshop, why it's no possible to choice AI or PS ? Sorry for my english.

I had not used to this kind of practice by Adobe. It's like an holdup. I am shocked and sad.

Adobe has decided to tweak the bundle that is offered within the TCS; I don't think it's possible for them to offer a user the option to have PS or AI installed within the same bundled installer.

As I said before, when this decision was made, questions about retaining the prior version of PS were raised by us beta testers. We we told that you could still keep the existing version of PS installed with earlier versions of TCS and add AI to it with TCS4.

I read what you said, but I find regrettable that you did not ask their opinion to your customers before making such a decision. In my company, people who use FrameMaker using Photoshop all the time but Illustrator never. It is the abuse of monopoly power and I regret it.

My understanding is that more tech comm people use Illustrator than PS - now supposedly, if you are already running TCS3.5 or less, you can keep your PS; but I haven't put it to the test yet.
