Adobe also has increased the power of copy and paste, including the ability to copy and paste filter information from one object to another. There also is increased integration with Photoshop, Bridge, and Version Cue, making it easy to share Flash content across the suite.
The venerable Photoshop image editor is an important tool in any Web professional's arsenal. Like the other programs in the suite, Photoshop has been given a common feel, but if you prefer, you can change to a "Legacy" look (a feature not available across the rest of the suite).
You can do mind-boggling visual tricks in Photoshop; and now you can import projects into Dreamweaver and Flash. |
There are incremental changes, including integration with Photoshop Lightroom and improved printing. Others include the ability to pick and choose layers, and copy and paste them into Dreamweaver and Flash (or to import entire Photoshop files). It's important to note that that the file integration is limited, meaning once you move Photoshop images into other programs, they are transformed into JPG or PNG files, so if you make changes to the image in Photoshop, you must replace it in Dreamweaver or Flash. However, the level of integration is still decent, given this is the first attempt.
Other Apps, Other Changes
The two graphics tools, Illustrator and Fireworks, also have been redone with the new CS3 look and feel, with Adobe repositioning the latter as a Web prototyping tool more than a graphics tool (although it's still that, too). Adobe also has included access to a stock photo repository (for a fee) and the Adobe Photographers Directory, a search facility for finding photographers worldwide, but I expect these will have limited appeal.
Bridge and Version Cue (the project management tool), have been given a substantial redesign. While their basic purposes and functionality remain unchanged, they have a new look to match the rest of the suite and a cleaner, more professional feel.
