The complete Adobe Master Collection in the CS6 version offers a suitable editing programme for almost all types of media. This software package is available on a total of 39 office PCs (10 of which are mobile high-performance production laptops). All PCs are optimised for the operation of these programmes in terms of hardware and software. The Adobe Master Collection includes the following programmes:

• Photoshop CS6 Extended (photo editing, graphic design)
• Illustrator CS6 (graphic design, vector graphics)
• Adobe InDesign CS6 (layout)
• Acrobat X Pro (layout, PDF creation)

The Adobe Master Collection is fully integrated in the software infrastructure of the ZMK. For example, the editing system Woodwing interacts with the programmes InDesign and InCopy, and the server-based font management on the basis of the Extensis font server is directly networked with Adobe InDesign and Photoshop. For some programmes of the Adobe Master Collection, special workshops are offered.
