We plan to continue to enhance our Photoshop product offerings to meet the evolving needs of professional
photographers and creative professional customers, including graphic designers, Web designers, video producers
and imaging enthusiasts to drive upgrades and new user adoption. We also plan to release version 1.0 of Adobe
Photoshop Lightroom, which will improve integrated digital photography workflows for professional
photographers. In addition, as we have seen during the past three fiscal years, we believe many customers will
continue to license Photoshop capabilities via our Creative Suite products as opposed to licensing the standalone
version.
With our set of professional digital video and motion graphic products, we strive to provide the strongest,
market-leading digital video, motion graphic and animation authoring platform for our customers. To grow this
business, we will continue to market the benefits of this platform to creative professionals and videographers in
the film, broadcast, corporate and event videography market segments, and we are working with partners to
deliver integrated video systems. With broad adoption of Adobe Flash Player and its high-quality video playback
features, we will work to provide a seamless video authoring-to-playback capability for those wishing to provide a
rich video experience on the Web.
In addition, as the number of imaging and video hobbyists desiring easy-to-use video editing solutions
grows, we intend to enhance the video editing and DVD creation capabilities of our Adobe Premiere Elements
product for the sharing of digital video memories. We also plan to continue to target the imaging and video
hobbyist markets with an integrated offering of our Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements products.
