ED DRISCOLL: Updating the Army of Davids’ Toolkit.
Ed reviews the various Adobe Creative Suite products as they’ve been upgraded. While you get a lot of bang for the buck, it’s a pretty expensive set of products for the average user — affordable for most folks who really want it, but not cheap. There are a lot of very good, and much cheaper, products out there, too. Maybe Ed can do a follow up on those.
For example, Pinnacle Studio 12 or Vegas Movie Studio 9 are much cheaper than Adobe Premiere Pro. And there are some good cheap photo editing programs out there, too.
UPDATE: Ed Driscoll emails that he reviewed Pinnacle already. And for cheap photo-editing he recommends the free Irfanview.
