[DREAMWEAVER 3 and FIREWORKS STUDIO 3 Bundle] 5-stars. Macromedia's bundling of Dreamweaver 3 and Fireworks 3 is a tremendous value and a terrific pairing of applications. Fireworks--a versatile and powerful tool for building graphics for Web sites--and Dreamweaver--a tool of choice for building sites of all kinds--are both strong tools on their own. Bundled together, Macromedia has built a versatile and robust Web-development environment. Creating good Web graphics is a skill unto itself, but Fireworks has many built-in tools for easing the pain. File size and color palette compatibility are the key issues, which Fireworks handles gracefully, but it can also create animated graphics as GIF or Flash files, as well as create rollovers and animated buttons. But Fireworks is much more than a tool for creating Web graphics; it's an excellent graphics package with many of the features a good bitmap image editor possesses, such as gradients, fills, and organic-media strokes. But because Fireworks is vector-based, even strokes using a watercolor brush can be edited later into something like a crayon- or charcoal-style stroke. Fireworks exports files to Adobe Illustrator, JPG, BMP, and GIF formats, as well as to animated GIF or Flash formats. Fireworks becomes a more powerful tool when allied with Dreamweaver, Macromedia's Web-page authoring tool. Dreamweaver is a full environment for building and managing Web sites, allowing the user to edit HTML pages graphically or through a text editor. In addition to all the usual table tools, font-editing tools, and HTML-creation tools, Dreamweaver supports the creation of Dynamic HTML and features a time line for editing such animation.
[Adobe PhotoShop 5.5 with ImageReady 2.0] Adobe acknowledges the increasing number of Web-based projects that are available for graphic designers by loading this version of Photoshop with handy new Internet-based features. For simple GIF animations, Photoshop allows you to edit the series of frames in its patented tool, Adobe ImageReady. ImageReady also handles image slicing and JavaScript rollovers. Adobe's History Palette option also makes corrections to a feature that was previously a source of frustration. In the past, when modifying an image with multiple steps, the user had to save various iterations; Photoshop's Undo option only allowed you to step back through one change. This History Palette conveniently displays each version of your work. In the case of an unfortunate aesthetic decision, the user can retrace his or her steps much more easily, right from the open window. While the load time for the program is considerable, the multitude of tools, drop-down menus, and guides make it worth the wait. Those who are unfamiliar with Photoshop will be amazed by the creativity it inspires. For those looking for the next new thing, this version of the tool brings timesaving, "how did we live without it?" improvements.
