Creative Suite 6, Adobe’s flagship product line, has been doing very well in recent months… Available standalone for instant download or direct shipping, or as the central focus of their new Creative Cloud offering, there are many important differences in this release compared to Creative Suite 5, including hundreds of new features added to the individual applications.

And now we’d like to give away a brand new boxed copy of Adobe’s top-of-the-line CS6 suite to our incredible readers who have helped build our site to what it is today… It’s the CS6 Master Collection – the biggest of the best Adobe premium suites, containing nearly every amazing application that Adobe makes!  It includes Photoshop Extended, Dreamweaver, Acrobat Pro, Illus­trator, InDesign, After Effects, Premiere Pro, and many more – see all the applications it contains.

We’ve given away a lot of software through the years, but this prize is our largest one ever…  And it’s not an upgrade or an education version – this is the shrink­wrapped, full commercial English release of CS6.  Master Collection currently sells for $2,599 / €2,707 / £2,223– and collectively the 14+ major programs within are worth US$7,988 if purchased separately.

This CS6 Master suite is consistently getting stellar reviews from customers with comments like, “Everything is pretty much awesome, works smoothly, is faster than the previous versions and gives a host of new features and added capabilities I need to meet tighter deadlines and create great products. The possibilities are … endless.”   If you want to try it out yourself and install it on your computer, that’s very easy as the free trial is available for download for both Windows and Mac OS.

As Adobe themselves put it, “Adobe Creative Suite 6 Master Collection software is the definitive toolset for creative inspiration across all media. Groundbreaking new professional tools provide innovative ways to design for virtually all screen sizes and form factors. Master Collection features 64-bit native support and GPU acceleration for unprecedented power across core components. With exceptional power and precision, you can explore new ways to create amazing print, web, mobile, and video experiences…”
