Adobe Version Cue CS2 review

Adobe Version Cue CS2 is a revision of last year's Creative Suite file-version manager. When used alongside Adobe Bridge, a new thumbnail-based visual file manager, Version Cue CS2 tracks file histories produced by Adobe and non-Adobe applications, provides Web-based visuals of PDF files, searches files via metadata and helps you share files with colleagues working on other computers.

Version Cue is overkill for most home users, although it is installed with Creative Suite 2.0 by default. But collaborative designers -- especially those using Creative Suite exclusively -- can use Version Cue to efficiently manage large projects.

Featured Talkback

Why do so many (virtually all) software packages think that they are so important that they have to be started automatically every time the computer boots? What is the largest number of "speed access", "update check", "camera download" and whatever other background programs you have ever seen running? Of those, how many did you really need?
