Dreamweaver remains the best Web editing solution for designers and
developers, both self-employed freelancers and members of large
production teams. The improved CSS support is a welcome improvement for
complex designs and the Photoshop smart objects makes it easier than
ever to keep your images looking sharp. This latest version of
Dreamweaver adds a lot of value and is a must-have for designers
building complicated, cutting-edge Web sites.
Dreamweaver CS4 is
still the editor of choice for freelancers and corporate Web designers
alike, and this release just makes it more useful. As with CS3,
Dreamweaver CS4 has strong integration with Flash, Photoshop, and
Fireworks. But now there are some new elements as well:
Photoshop smart objects These
act just like images inside of Dreamweaver, but they are generated from
the Photoshop original PSD. So any time you edit it in Photoshop, you
can get it updated in Dreamweaver. And if you resize the image in
Dreamweaver, you can get an optimized version for that size from the
original.
Subversion integration If you work on a team, you
will want the ability to check-in and check-out files and have the
strong version control that Subversion offers. And Dreamweaver CS4
integrates directly with Subversion.
Extended Spry framework support If
you weren?t sure how to use the Spry framework in CS3, now you?ll
really like it in CS4. Now you can use existing HTML pages as your data
sets and the framework even comes with some of the more popular uses
pre-built for you.
Author Adobe AIR applications Dreamweaver CS4 now supports writing Adobe AIR stand-alone applications that run on the desktop
