The Adobe Digital Publishing Suite is a very nice suite of tools to help ease the burden of digital publishing. At MAX, Adobe announced even more coolness coming to this suite, including a single user edition.

Last Friday Adobe Digital Publishing Suite Evangelist, Colin Fleming, hosted a session in the Adobe Ask a CS Pro series to explain a bit about the different versions, comparing them and helping you choose the one that is right for you. If you are interested in the DPS, this might be worthwhile to view.

Adobe always has session in the MAX program dedicated to showing off some sneak peaks at new technology that may or may not make it into the release versions. From today and on you can watch some of the sneaks live on Adobe TV. There is some pretty cool stuff being shown, especially the “Image Deblur” for Photoshop.

During Adobe MAX, Adobe announced a new labs technology called Tutorial Builder. Using this extension you will be able to create step by step tutorials from within Photoshop that can be played back using the Touch SDK from a tablet. This means that you will be able to follow tutorials that can interact with Photoshop, selecting tools and opening menus.

As an educator, this is very exciting and I am looking forward to being able to try the playback of this trough the touch apps, when they arrive.

Even if you can’t be at Adobe MAX this week you can still get to watch the two keynotes (today and tomorrow) live online for free. You need to register on the Adobe MAX site but again, it is fully free and you can tune in if you are able to. Here are the keynote details (from the MAX site):
