Who uses Design Premium?
Graphic designers use Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium to design and develop content 
for a wide range of media, including print, web, interactive, and mobile devices.
Graphic designers are versatile professionals who apply their visual communication skills to a 
rapidly expanding array of projects. With the explosion of new media and devices, from the 
Internet to smartphones, tablets, e-readers, and Internet-enabled televisions, designers face 
tremendous pressure to continually adopt new tools and learn new techniques to efficiently and 
consistently deliver high-impact content across a wide variety of media. Design Premium eases 
these challenges by providing a set of integrated tools for editing images, creating vector graphics, 
laying out print and web pages, authoring digital publications such as digital magazines and 
eBooks, crafting interactive designs, delivering content for mobile devices, and more.
Designers also face obstacles to preserving the integrity of their designs when collaborating with 
technical colleagues such as developers. Communicating design intent to web, interactive, and 
application developers can be challenging—designers and developers speak different languages, 
and important nuances of designers’ vision can be lost in translation. Design Premium enables 
designers to express their vision directly using robust tools that draw on their existing skills and 
don’t require them to master writing code. Now designers can preserve the quality and integrity of 
their designs much further into the development process, handing off content without fear that the 
final result will look very different from what they envisioned. And for some types of projects, 
designers can even finish the work themselves.
Photoshop CS5 built to run on 
64-bit operating systems
Photoshop CS5 is 64-bit native,
which means even faster image edit-
ing on Mac OS and Windows. (Design
Standard can also install a 32-bit
version of Photoshop, if you do not
have a 64-bit system.)
