"Dreamweaver
and Fireworks, are again pushing up the standards
in Web-development software...The advantages of
using both Dreamweaver and Fireworks as an all-in-one
solution for Web design are numerous. The integration
between the two applications can only server to
speed up the production, and maintenance of Web
sites. Make life easier on yourself, and invest
in this Studio set. It's not a lot to pay for the
sheer wealth of features, and superb integration,
that will allow you to produce a good-looking, professional
site." |

"The beauty of Macromedia Flash is that you can have
animation, interactivity, and scalability and still keep
the file size small enough to stream across a normal modem
connection. I recently came across a Web site that featured
a 3 minute animated movie, complete with sound, that weighed
in at just 191 KB. Now that's impressive." |

"Professional
designers want a vector drawing tool that can save them
time, integrate with Web graphics programs, and generate
spectacular special effects. The list of new features
in Macromedia's FreeHand 9 isn't long, but it delivers
on all three counts." |

"With
Director 8 Shockwave Studio, Macromedia furthers the revolution
it started when Shockwave brought the power of Director
to the Web. The preeminent tool of the CD-ROM era, Director
remains the most robust commercial cross-platform authoring
package for serious interactive media projects. New features
in Director 8—including runtime imaging, enhanced
sound capabilities, and an upgraded multi-user server—add
to the product's already vast functionality and multigenerational
refinement, putting Director in a class by itself."

 "Adobe
PhotoShop is no doubt a powerful image editing program.
If you have the right knowledge, can create almost anything.
Unfortunately, it is not user-friendly at all. It takes
patience and a lot of time to learn its features."

 "Adobe
Acrobat's PDF format is great for sharing formatted documents
across many platforms. But few people realize that it
can download Web pages and convert them to Acrobat files
— complete with graphics, links, and forms. You can
use all of the built-in outlining, highlighting, and annotation
tools on downloaded pages. And storing pages or sending
multiple pages as a single PDF file is extremely easy.
What's more, Acrobat lets you add pages from other applications
or from scanned documents using its OCR feature."

 "Illustrator
is a first-class drawing package will have you producing
commercial-quality output for print and the Web in no
time. The learning curve is minimal. Take advantage of
Web-specific graphics tools, versatile transparency capabilities,
powerful object and layer effects, and more. Multifunction

The main artboard layers elements and lets you cycle through
and edit underlying sprites. You can post-apply swatches,
brushes, and textures; shuffle, group, and flatten elements;
and apply filters and plug-ins to any creative step. Illustrator's
native four-color environment is ideal for generating
professional-grade printed projects."

"If FrontPage's templates and design guides make
your day, you'll die for its interface. Anyone who works
with Microsoft Office (that is, almost everyone) will
find FrontPage refreshingly easy--it's the spitting image
of every other Office 2000 application, complete with
a familiar Word-like toolbar at the top and elements from
Outlook and Publisher scattered throughout. Tabs at the
bottom of the screen preview your work for you and reveal
the underlying HTML." |

 "QuarkXPress
4 is a compelling product for PageMaker users looking
to switch. While Adobe has labored to improve PageMaker
several times in the last four years, the program has
yet to match QuarkXPress's core layout strengths–something
Adobe apparently acknowledges as it reportedly moves on
to create a new PageMaker replacement known as "K2".
With this upgrade, there is nothing major that PageMaker
does significantly better than QuarkXPress, and there
are many places where QuarkXPress surpasses PageMaker.
Although PageMaker offers some interface advantages, they
don't justify the shortcomings in its capabilities. QuarkXPress
isn't perfect, but it's more capable than the competition." |
