The green symbol in the upper left corner of a PSD file inserted into Dreamweaver tells you that the source file and web-ready instance are in sync.

Use the Workplace Switcher in Dreamweaver (shown here), Fireworks, Flash, Photoshop Extended, and Illustrator to quickly switch among design environments.

Combine Live View with Live Code to reveal code as rendered in an interactive state, like hovering over and selecting a Spry data image. Armed with these details, you can quickly modify relevant CSS rules.

New versions, new integration
Updated versions of all of the creative tools you rely on to deliver your ideas to the web, device, and desktop are included in Creative Suite 4 Web Premium. Better integration highlights the new versions of Photoshop CS4 Extended and Dreamweaver CS4, the software used by designers around the world to create award-winning output. Create a graphic in Photoshop CS4 Extended and open it in Dreamweaver CS4 to create an image Smart Object. Unlike standard web-page graphics, a Smart Object is tightly linked to the source file. A small indicator on the Smart Object in Dreamweaver CS4 shows when the source and instance are in sync. Make any changes to the source image and Dreamweaver notes that the files are out of sync; click the Properties panel icon to update your image without opening Photoshop.

Create optimized, web-ready assets in Fireworks CS4 with source files from Photoshop CS4 Extended, Illustrator CS4, or Flash CS4 Professional–without redoing any work. Files are imported faithfully with layers, vector paths, text, and effects intact and editable. Export your web-page comps from Fireworks to Dreamweaver as web-standards compliant, CSS-based layouts.

Complex, compound web pages made accessible
Design and develop more sophisticated websites with the real-world experience of the new Live View in Dreamweaver CS4. Live View combines actual browser rendering with interactive code editing so you can freeze a navigation submenu or keep an Ajax accordion panel open and then modify the code as needed. Rely on the new Related Files and Code Navigator features to dive deeply into complex pages that include HTML files, link to external JavaScript documents, and integrate XML data. Update your code in the associated files and review changes instantly in the master document's Design View.

Animation enhancements
Harness the power of rich interactive content in Flash CS4, where object-based animation now offers greater control combined with increased ease of use. Expand your content's sense of depth with new 3D transformation tools in Flash CS4, complete with multi-reference rotation and translation options. Give your animated characters lifelike motion with advanced inverse kinematic effects, now made easier with the new Bones tool that connects existing symbols with an armature layer. Once you've added “bones” to your symbols, figures can be animated in an organic fashion to broaden the range of motion and interactionpossible in Flash CS4.

Multiple export options from a single creative source
Design once and deploy to many formats, without waste or re-created work. Move from Photoshop, Illustrator, or Flash to Fireworks with the confidence made possible by a consistent, intuitive interface design that spans Creative Suite 4 Web Premium. Pass your newly completed comps to your clients or other team members using the industry-standard Adobe PDF format. Your clients will enjoy the interactive click-through capabilities, while you gather feedback more quickly and enhance your productivity. When approved, in just one step export your rich Fireworks CS4 graphic designs to web-standards compliant, CSS-based layouts, complete with external style sheets.

Faster, more expressive design tools

Photoshop CS4 Extended introduces new Adjustment and Masking panels for a fluid and intuitive user interface to leverage the unrivaled editing power of Photoshop. It includes comprehensive 3D painting, animation and compositing for creative visualizations. In Illustrator CS4, lay out and design multi-part web components using up to 100 variable-sized artboards in a single document; easily create complex vector shapes with the new Blob brush; and specify transparent colors within gradients to create and fine-tune subtle interactions between objects.

Everyday audio creating and editing
Amplify the impact of your site or application with the added dimension of audio by using Soundbooth CS4. With new multiple track support that can be used to mix any number of mono or stereo clips as well as royalty-free Soundbooth Scores and sound effects, Soundbooth is a vital audio tool fully integrated in Creative Suite 4 Web Premium. Record directly into Soundbooth or cut, copy, paste, fade, or stretch any imported audio asset. Automatically detect and fix common flaws in audio recordings such as hisses, hums, rumbling, crackling, and pops. Coordinate audio in your Flash project by laying down markers that can be exported as XML or FLV files. Plus, the new Adobe sound document packages your multitrack audio projects into a nondestructive ASND file format that can be easily shared with Adobe Flash CS4 Professional, Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, and Adobe After Effects CS4 software. Professional quality sound has never been this easy.

Advanced application development

Alternatively, you can embed your prototype design in HTML and JavaScript pages created in Dreamweaver–and preview them immediately. Deploy your application online with full Adobe AIR packaging capabilities from within either Dreamweaver or Flash.
