Adobe Cs4 Web Workflows: Building Websites with Adobe Creative Suite 4

Bestselling author Josephy Lowery shows you how to develop effective workflows with Adobe CS products

As the industry standard for everyone from Web developers to creative professionals, Adobe's CS4 offers a collection of the most popular Web and design tools: Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Flash, Illustrator, Fireworks, Acrobat, and more. While it is incredibly convenient to have all these tools readily available in one suite, it also contributes to confusion with managing media from one product to the next.

That's where this book comes in! Popular author Joseph Lowery walks you through best practices for refining, streamlining, and improving your workflow from one product to the next.

  • Offers a clear overview of exactly what methods work best when transitioning from one Adobe CS4 product to another
  • Demonstrates how to smoothly transition from one CS4 product to another
  • Includes step-by-step examples of an exemplary workflow used throughout the chapters so you can watch its progression

With a more streamlined workflow and a better understanding of how the Adobe CS4 products work in cohesion, you're well on your way to making the Adobe suite work for you.
