Leverages on Opera's cross-platform performance in helping developers create optimal web pages for both desktop computers and mobile devices.

Opera Software, a developer of web browser technology, today announced that the Opera browser is now integrated in Adobe Creative Suite 2, a design and publishing environment by Adobe Systems Inc.

Adobe GoLive CS 2, Adobe Photoshop CS 2, and other components of Adobe Creative Suite 2 will use Opera as the engine for a majority of content manipulation. Opera's Small-Screen Rendering (SSR) technology allows web developers to design their sites to be optimally viewed on any device, regardless of the screen size by reformatting web pages to fit the screen of mobile phones and eliminating horizontal scrolling.

"Adobe Creative Suite 2 is a complete design environment that accelerates publishing workflows for print, the Web, and mobile platforms," said John Brennan, senior vice president of Creative Professional products at Adobe. "The advanced rendering technologies and open standards provided by Opera's advanced Web browser ensure that designers using Adobe Creative Suite 2 can create and realize their best work, for output online or to the latest handheld devices."

"We applaud Adobe for its foresight in meeting emerging industry trends," says Jon S. von Tetzchner, CEO, Opera Software. "A modern browser can be used for more than browsing. Adobe takes full advantage of Opera's high-performance, standards-compliant rendering engine."
