Lightroom 2 is the third major release of Adobe’s digital photograph sorting, Raw image-processing and enhancement program for pro photographers.
The latest incarnation of Adobe’s primary PDF-creating and editing application stresses multimedia integration and presentation -- it even plays Flash natively.
Director has been notable by its absence in the successive Master Collections, so it’s refreshing to see this old stalwart of the multimedia-authoring brigade decked out in Adobe’s new livery.
Students in creative disciplines have one week left to submit entries for this year's Adobe Design Achievement Awards, which offers the chance to win a trip to New York, cash prizes and vital exposure to leading industry professionals.
Adobe made a prerelease test version of the Flash 10 Player available for download for Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux from the Adobe Labs Web site.
Adobe has updated its Photoshop Express beta to add integration with Flickr and a Save As functionality, which it says are two of the most requested features by early adopters. Additionally, a new embeddable player will allow users to post their Photoshop Express slideshows to sites such as Facebook, MySpace, blogs and more.
Adobe on Monday announced that its venerable visual Web site creation tool GoLive has been discontinued. The company has ceased development and sales of GoLive effective Monday, April 28.
Last week Adobe updated its Photoshop Lightroom and Camera Raw Photoshop plug-in software. Over the weekend Lightroom's product manager acknowledged a problem with the updates and said that they'd been temporarily removed from Adobe's Web site.
Adobe Ultra is tool for keying, compositing and virtual set work derived for the most part from technology from the Adobe acquisition of Serious Magic.
GoLive appears to be living on borrowed time. Adobe’s own literature and Web site seems to suggest migrating to Dreamweaver is a good idea, so we're keen to see what would be served up in the latest version.
Soundbooth is an audio clean-up and score creation application with some rather neat features for video editors and multimedia professionals.
Premiere Pro has not received as much of a features boost as stablemate After Effects, though it too has been touched with the CS3 makeover brush.
After Effects is the most popular of Adobe’s video tools, as its reach extends to motion-graphics artists, VFX professionals and 2D animators – and from simple Web cartoons to Hollywood blockbusters.
With Fireworks CS3, Adobe has subtly repositioned the application into a Web site planning and mock-up tool, making it a near-essential purchase for anyone working in Web design.
Dreamweaver is almost as ubiquitous in the Web-design arena as Photoshop is in the world of print. Unusually for a Web tool, its huge range of tools caters for designers and developers alike.
There’s no doubt that there are some cool new things to be found in Flash CS3. The revised CS3-style interface is a huge improvement on the old version...
Perhaps surprisingly for a graphic-design application, it’s the new workflow systems and tools that really impress in InDesign CS3 – while the new creative tools are going to have less of an effect on your day-to-day work.
In the absence of an updated FreeHand, CS3 consolidates Illustrator’s lead of the vector pack. Live Color is definitely the standout tool and serves to push Illustrator ahead of cheaper alternatives.
Photoshop is the tool that unifies Digital Arts readers. Whether you work in graphic design and illustration, VFX, and 3D animation – for print, broadcast, disc, or Web – chances are you spend a significant amount of time using Photoshop.
Adobe Acrobat is not the kind of product that sets the designer’s pulse racing. However, an upgrade that promises improved preflighting and automatic fixing of some PDF problems can only enhance your working life.
