Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium Part 4

Simplified mobile content design in Fireworks CS5 and Device Central CS5

Easily experiment with designing for mobile devices. Integration between Fireworks and Device Central makes it easy to set up a Fireworks project and preview it in Device Central. In Device Central, choose File > New Document In Fireworks, select a target device, and then click Create. Fireworks then creates a new project with the correct pixel dimensions of the target device’s display. Use the visual prototyping tools in Fireworks to craft your mobile content, and then choose File > Preview In Device Central to emulate your content using the updated online library of device profiles. When you’ve perfected your prototype, hand it off for development in Flash Professional or Dreamweaver.

With a mobile device profile selected in Device Central CS5, you can use the New Document panel to create a new Fireworks document that’s already set up with document settings that match the selected device.

Accelerate reviews through integration with Adobe CS Review

Enjoy faster, more efficient creative reviews with CS Review, a new Adobe CS Live online service that integrates with components of CS5 Design Premium. Initiate shared reviews with just a few clicks from within Photoshop, Illustrator, or InDesign—simply click Access CS Live in the Application bar to open the CS Review panel. Then create a new review, add your layout or artwork, and invite colleagues or clients to view it online. They receive an email invitation with a link— one click and they see the document displayed in their web browser.

Their comments appear in the CS Review panel, and everyone can view and reply to each other’s comments. Clicking a comment takes you to the specific element the comment refers to, so you can easily match each comment to the right element in your layout or artwork.

With simple sharing, easy access to reviews, and centralized comments, CS Review can help speed up the review process so you can finish your project on time and within budget.

Reviewers add comments within the browser online.Those comments appear in the CS Review panel in InDesign CS5. Thumbnails giveyou context for the feedback, making it easier to find and address comments.

Web page preview with Adobe BrowserLab, a CS Live online service

If you’ve done even a little web design, you know how challenging it can be to predict how a web page will appear in different browsers and operating systems. Until now, the best way to preview web content required buying costly hardware, installing multiple browsers, and maintaining testing labs. In addition, opening and comparing pages in multiple browsers on multiple machines is tedious and time-consuming.

Adobe BrowserLab allows you to compare your web pages and applications in multiple browsers without having the specific operating system or browser installed on your local computer.

Another new CS Live online service, Adobe BrowserLab, is an easier, faster solution for previewing web pages on leading browsers and operating systems—on demand. Whether you’re creating web pages yourself or previewing pages that you’ve designed and handed off to a developer for production, BrowserLab enables you to ensure that your work will appear as you intend.

BrowserLab works by taking screen shots of your web pages in different browsers, and then displaying them in the BrowserLab application window. You can preview a page in a single browser or compare the page in two browsers side by side. You can also compare screen shots in onionskin view—with one image superimposed over another—and control the relative transparency of the two images. Built-in rules and guides enable you to make pixel-perfect comparisons between images. Use the service from your web browser to test pages that you’ve posted to a server, or take advantage of integration between BrowserLab and Dreamweaver to test your pages directly from within Dreamweaver without publishing them to a server. Simply open a page in Dreamweaver, choose File > Preview In Browser > Adobe Browser Lab, sign in, and choose the browsers in which you want to preview the page. Create and configure sets of browsers you want to test. And because BrowserLab is an online service, you can get your results in real time, from virtually any computer connected to the web.

Accelerate your workflow with Adobe CS Live

Adobe CS Live is a set of online services that harness the connectivity of the web and integrate with Adobe Creative Suite 5to simplify the creative review process, speed up website compatibility testing, deliver important web user intelligence, and more, allowing you to focus on creating your most impactful work.

Adobe BrowserLab is for web designers and developers who need to preview and test their web pages on multiple browsers and operating systems.

Acrobat.com is for creative professionals who need to work with a cast of colleagues and clients in order to get a creative project from creative briefto final product. Acrobat.com is a set of online services that includes web conferencing, online file-sharing, and workspaces. Unlike collaborating via e-mail and attending time-consuming in-person meetings, Acrobat.com brings people toyour work instead of sending files to people, so you can get the business side of the creative process done faster, together, from any location.

Adobe Story is for creative professionals, producers, and writers working on or with scripts. Story is a collaborative script-development tool that turns scripts into metadata that can be used with the Adobe CS5 Production Premium tools to streamline workflows and create video assets.

Site Catalyst Net Averages is for web and mobile professionals who want to optimize their projects for wider audiences. Net Averages provides intelligence on how users are accessing the web, which helps reduce guess work early in the creative process. You can access aggregate user data such as browser type, operating system, mobile device profile, screen resolution, and more, which can be shown overtime.The data is derived from visitor activity to participating Omniture Site CataIyst customer sites. Unlike other web intelligence solutions, Net Averages innovatively displays data using Flash, creating an engaging experience that is robust yet easy to follow.
