The next version of Photoshop, CS4, will adopt a small installation package mode.

The release format of the next version of Adobe Creative Suite CS4 design suite software will see significant changes, with applications, web content, and third-party tools becoming the three major components. This means that the Adobe suite software will adopt a "small package" installation model, allowing users to purchase or download corresponding components as per their needs. There will also be many Flash and Flex-based Widgets to choose from. Naturally, software users can also create various Widgets for communication among designers. The next generation of Creative Suite CS4 products is expected to be released on May 27th, which is a week from now.
