Adobe's Creative Suite Premium Plus can now be downloaded for free, giving those with older PCs and Macs an easy way to get a robust, albeit dated, collection of multimedia editing tools. Included in the package is Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and Premier Pro, to name a few. Keep in mind that these particular programs were released in 2005, so compatibility may be an issue for those with newer machines. To get the collection you must first sign up for a free Adobe account, which should just take a few minutes. Unfortunately, the download page for Creative Suite Premium Plus is down at the moment — possibly due to the influx of traffic — but you'll want to keep an eye on it if you're in the need for some free Adobe tools.
