I much preferred the hand-coded approach – and still do. But I never opted to use Fusion for my personal web sites.
If Microsoft FrontPage was a nightmare, then Fusion was a dream. Once upon a time I used NetObjects Fusion professionally. While I have experimented with using Dreamweaver as a web site creation tool, I’ve always had a certain disdain for WYSIWYG web site creation tools.
#FLASH CS4 PROFESSIONAL PDF#
If all you need is to create simple PDF versions of documents you’ve created then I suggest using Writer – which is available as a tool in either OpenOffice or LibreOffice. I will note that Acrobat has come in quite handy when it comes to editing PDFs that I did not create. Instead I have found the capabilities of OpenOffice/LibreOffice Writer’s Export to PDF function to be sufficient for my needs. When it comes to creating PDFs, I have never had to make use of the advanced features provided by Acrobat. However, I am not going to do this for every program that is a part of the Design Premium package – just those that I use. For this article, I am only going to look at those alternatives that are free. So this article is for those who are in search of an alternative to Adobe.
#FLASH CS4 PROFESSIONAL UPGRADE#
Nor do I have the deep pockets that would allow me to continue to ride the Adobe Upgrade Train. With respect to visual creative software, Adobe holds the corporate safe to buy crown. With the advent of the desktop computer, Microsoft became the safe buy. Once upon a time you could not get criticized if you bought IBM products. "No creative professional will deny the need for Adobe Creative Suite, and 2012’s version, CS6, focuses on some of the toughest demands designers face in an interactive, digital, multimedia landscape."įrom a corporate perspective, that is probably true. From one review of CS6 we have this summation: This has strongly influenced my decision as to whether or not to continue to upgrade my Adobe products. I must say that I have become increasingly disenchanted with Adobe’s approach to the software/graphics market. Of the programs that make up the Design Premium suite, Photoshop is where I live and is the application which I am most qualified to comment on.
Illustrator CS4 – for creating vector graphics and for graphic design.Flash CS4 Professional – Flash creation.Fireworks CS4 – preproduction and mockup for web page creation (combines Dreamweaver and Photoshop features).Dreamweaver CS4 – for web site creation.Acrobat 9 Professional – for PDF creation.
#FLASH CS4 PROFESSIONAL FULL#
While I have been using Photoshop since Photoshop 5, it wasn’t until CS4 was released that I bought my first full Adobe suite. For more information about the Adobe Creative Cloud model, see Adobe’s Creative Cloud FAQ. What set this release apart from previous versions was the licensing path that Adobe has chosen.
