The imminent release of the Adobe eLearning Suit e has got me thinking about the authoring tools market as it stands in 2009. Who needs authoring tools and which tools do they need? Quite a bundle and an exciting prospect for toy lovers. But I can't help but wonder who all this is aimed at.

As I write this, my Adobe Updater program is busy installing the latest updates to my Adobe Creative Suite 3. I had thought that, with my extravagant purchases, I was maintaining the Adobe share price all on my own, but the eLearning Guild's latest research report on authoring and development tools proves otherwise.

I've just had to re-mortgage my home to purchase a copy of Adobe Creative Suite Design Premium (that's Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Flash, Acrobat, Dreamweaver) and I need to justify that investment by making sure I use these tools to something like their potential. Anticipating my success, I also bought the Photoshop edition.

Photoshop Lightroom: I've just got this and now use it to manage and edit my photos. It looks so cool it was definitely worth upgrading from Photoshop Elements. Adobe Illustrator: Still learning this tool, but I'm determined to make it my first choice for creating artwork. It seems absolutely fine. What else can you say?

In an anonymous reply to my posting yesterday on the pirating of PC software, an elearning developer asked "How do real people actually afford/justify purchasing something like the Adobe eLearning Suite?" Before answering that I've decided to take a look at what you get for your money with the new Adobe eLearning Suite (ELS).

Similarly, in my photo package, Adobe Photoshop Darkroom, I create order amongst the thousands of images by tagging the photos according to the people, places or events they represent. In iTunes, my music can be grouped by genre, by artist, by album or by star rating all at the same time.
