NEWS FLASH – This just out: a new link into Adobe.com that will score you big savings off the regular price of Adobe Photoshop CS5…

It is no joke, it is the real deal – genuine, authentic, and you’re getting it direct from Adobe.

And it’s not an upgrade – it’s the full commercial version… You can get it via instant download or shrinkwrapped box delivered by FedEx, for either Windows or Mac, in any language.

For even more savings, it appears this sale is stackable with another current Adobe offer where you can save 30% off Lightroom when purchased at the same time…

This really is a stunning offer, the lowest price we’ve ever seen on any version of Photoshop. And Photoshop CS5 is a fantastic release:

• Read the reviews
• Watch some free tutorials
• See the hardware requirements
• Download a free working trial
• Read a free chapter of the best book

[UPDATE (Jan. 2012) – Adobe extends another great offer:  Save 20% on CS5.5 upgrades!]

Adobe has just announced a pre-holiday “kick-off” promo to give an instant US$40 off orders placed at the Adobe Store – for seven days only…

You’ll receive a one-time savings of $40 off orders of $400 or more containing full or upgrade versions of any Adobe software. In order to redeem the $40 discount, you must enter the special promotion code Nov2010SW40 in the Adobe.com shopping cart.

Orders must be placed from November 1, 2010, at 5pm PT through November 8, 2010, at 11:59pm PT. This offer is available only to customers with shipping addresses in the USA, Mexico, and Canada. This offer may not be used in conjunction with any other offers, and is not valid for Adobe Volume Licensing, OEM bundle, or education purchases.

These type of unrestricted coupons don’t come along very often for Adobe, so if there’s a purchase you’ve been thinking of, now could be a good time… Some ideas to consider could be the brand new version of Adobe Acrobat X, Photoshop/Premiere Elements 9, Lightroom 3, or of course Creative Suite 5.

Most people know that “CS4″ is both a version number for major Adobe applications (thirteen of them), as well as the given name for a number of suites or collections of those applications. But with six differing suite choices out there, what is less well known is what’s actually in each of them – and which one is right for what you want to do?

The CS4 collections come in several flavors – two for Web (Standard/Premium), two also for Design (Standard/Premium), Production Premium (which adds audio and video), and Master Collection (which includes every single CS4 app together in one big integrated bundle).

Now, as for exactly which applications are in each of these, the complete descriptions, and how much they cost, happily the answers are right here, all on a single page: www.CS5selector.com

Of note: The larger suite you buy, the more money saved. For example, with the Web Standard edition, you save 37% off the price of each of its products sold separately. But in going all the way up to Master Collection, you save over 60% off the individual components.

[UPDATE (May 3, 2011) – The CS5.5 Academic Editions are out, and savings are still 80%!]

If you’re a student or teacher in some capacity, chances are you can now score eye-popping savings on your favorite Adobe products…

Adobe has recently announced a new policy of student pricing that gives 80% (!) off normal prices. And even teachers and professors can still get up to a healthy 70% off most software.

For example, try Creative Suite 4 Web Premium – an eight-product package with $3,842 of total value that normally goes for $1,699, but for students – only $349. Or CS4 Design Standard – normally $1,399 for the suite, but for students – just $299! Heck, just the regular cost of Photoshop alone is $700 or more…

Speaking of Photoshop, if you want just Photoshop CS4 Extended by itself, it’s $199 for higher ed (instead of $999). Or try Dreamweaver, Acrobat, Lightroom, Elements, etc. – all at a fraction of their standard prices.

Such deep discounts couldn’t come at a better time… Check them out at Adobe’s official Education Store, or follow the clipped image below.
