With enhanced CSS tools and Live View, Dreamweaver CS5 gives you more control without having to leave your editing environment, even giving you the ability to view any link state and change text size—tasks that previously required a browser. The Inspect command Develop CSS-based designs more efficiently and accurately by visually displaying the CSS box model properties—including padding, border, and margin—in detail, without reading code or requiring a separate third-party utility such as Firebug.
In the past, external browser-based tools were required to visually identify page elements and their related CSS styles. This tedious process involved previewing the page in a browser, enabling the tool or plug-in, and then exploring the document to find the properties you wanted to change.
Because this activity occurred in a browser, you had to keep track of all the changes made, and then copy and paste them into your web documents in Dreamweaver. When inspecting in Split view, the corresponding HTML code—including the tag—is immediately selected.
Disabling a CSS property simply comments out the specified property without actually deleting it, and the affected property is no longer rendered. This convenient option for toggling CSS properties on and off, coupled with the ability to inspect CSS, allows you to remain in your editing environment throughout the development process, eliminating the time-consuming process of previewing in the browser and troubleshooting with browser-based tools.
CSS starter layouts are now color-coded—liquid layouts are in shades of blue, and fixed layouts are in earth tones. For traditional designers who want to understand how the various browsers and browser versions render their content, Onionskin view in BrowserLab allows you to overlay the same page in two different browsers or browser versions to easily spot differences.
Enhanced support for Subversion With Dreamweaver CS5, you can manage files more effectively in collaborative, version-controlled environments with enhanced support for Subversion, an open-source version-control system. In Dreamweaver CS4, Subversion support was limited to the most basic functions of locking and unlocking files and generating status updates. Dreamweaver CS5 expands support for Subversion, allowing you to move, copy, and delete files locally, and then synchronize changes with your remote SVN repository.
The new Revert command allows you to quickly correct tree conflicts or roll back to a previous version of a file.
To ensure future compatibility, the built-in Subversion libraries in Dreamweaver CS5 are designed to be updated by the Adobe Extension Manager. As newer versions of the Subversion libraries become available, they will be made available to the public as free extensions at Adobe Exchange at www.
The new Site Setup dialog box shows you all you need to get started with a new website design: a site name and a local site folder. As your site development progresses, Dreamweaver CS5 will prompt you for additional information needed for the site definition, such as the name and location of the FTP server to put the files online for viewing , or a staging server to view the files locally before putting them online.
PHP custom class code hinting Display proper syntax for PHP functions, objects, and constants to help you write code more accurately. The code hints for PHP core functions and objects include the function signature, the module that defines the function, a description tooltip that mentions the PHP versions in which it is available, the method and parameter descriptions, and a link to the PHP.
Code hinting also works with your own custom functions and classes, as well as with third-party frameworks such as the Zend Framework. Dreamweaver CS5 dynamically highlights errors and provides alerts in the Information bar to help you more efficiently find and fix errors in your PHP code.
Site-specific code hints within Dreamweaver help you to more efficiently handle PHP coding tasks on a site-by-site basis. For robust code hinting, you can also specify files and even folders located outside of the defined site root. Based on user feedback and constantly evolving CSS best practices, the CSS starter layouts have been completely rewritten.
For example, complex descendent selectors have been removed in favor of simplified, easy-to-understand classes, and the overall structure of the documents has been revamped. To help ensure success with the new layouts, instructions and comments are included both in the CSS code and the text of the document. Regardless of your experience, CSS starter layouts speed your development time by providing a variety of solid structures upon which to build your designs.
For print designers and others just making the move to web design, CSS starter layouts can dramatically speed up the learning process. Simple site setup To help make setup faster and easier, the Site Definition dialog box has been extensively redesigned, implementing many improvements suggested by web designers and developers who use Dreamweaver on a regular basis.
For more advanced projects, you can specify multiple servers with custom names to utilize staged, networked, or other server types. Business Catalyst is an online service that can replace as many as five or more applications and tools with a single central platform for web designers that works hand in hand with Dreamweaver through the Business Catalyst extension for Dreamweaver.
Using the unified platform and without back-end coding, you can build everything from amazing websites to powerful online stores, and from beautiful brochure-ware sites to lead generating mini-sites.

A powerful new text engine, expanded support for mobile and consumer devices, and enhanced coding tools are among the new features in Adobe Flash Professional CS5. New text engine Flash Professional CS5 adds support for the new Text Layout Framework built into Flash Player 10, enabling you to use print-quality typographic functionality and take the experiences you create to new heights.
Support for the Text Layout Framework provides rich, multilingual typographic control that previously was not available in Flash Professional, as well as a comprehensive set of APIs to manipulate text content, layout, and markup. The new text engine in Flash Professional CS5 also maintains layout and text formatting with greater fidelity when importing content from Adobe InDesign software and other Adobe products.
Print-quality typographic control Designers have come to expect rich typographic control in applications like InDesign and Illustrator. Tab stops and CSS anti-aliasing are also supported. With the new text engine in Flash Professional CS5, you can take advantage of rich typographical controls, including threaded and multi-column text. This support includes the ability to display and edit not only right-to-left scripts, but also top-to-bottom scripts, and those that often use a mixture of left-to-right and right-to-left scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew.
The new text engine offers additional features for East Asian typography, including an East Asian justifier, vertical text support, and Tate-Chu-Yoko, or blocks of horizontal text embedded into vertical runs of text. Advanced inline text editing Working with text inside of Flash Professional is now a far more efficient and productive experience.
The Text Layout Framework builds on the history of consistent high-quality playback and display across multiple devices in Flash Player by adding support for transparency and for device and embedded fonts including anti-aliasing of embedded fonts. A new embedded font format DefineFont4 provides improved typography features, international support, and reduced file sizes.
The replacement of the file-format structure from FLA to XFL is transparent, allowing you to work with project files in the same way, only with more control. Ability to distribute content virtually anywhere Deliver consistently across screens of virtually any size and use Adobe Device Central for enhanced device testing. The Distribution service available separately through Adobe Flash Platform Services offers free and paid methods for distributing applications to social networks, mobile devices, and desktops.
It also enables developers and businesses to track the distribution of and user engagement with their applications, and enables monetization of applications through ad hosting. This compact and efficient file format both accurately maintains data in a Flash document and makes the individual elements easier to manage and use. For example, an image that is currently used in a Flash project could be checked out of a source control system, updated, and checked back in.
The next time you open the FLA project file, you would instantly see the updated image without having to manually import it into the project. In the past, mobile content could not load other SWF files. Code Snippets panel Flash Professional CS5 provides a new way to quickly include code for things like timeline navigation, actions, animation, audio and video, and event handlers with the Code Snippets panel.
By injecting prebuilt code into projects, you can work faster, freeing up more time for creativity. For example, the sample code snippets allow you to create interactive buttons without extensive code experience. Code snippets also contain helpful comments and clear instructions right in the code and can greatly reduce the ActionScript 3.
In addition, because the panel is extensible, you can create and share snippets with others, helping to reduce overall production time. Enhanced ActionScript editor Increase development speed with an improved ActionScript editor, including custom class code hinting and code completion, and reference your own code or external code libraries more efficiently.
Novice developers can start projects and have code hinting assist them as they try to grasp the fundamentals of the ActionScript language. Flash Professional CS5 can automatically write the import statement for libraries, and more experienced and advanced developers can more quickly reference their own code or any external code libraries they are using. Code snippets help you learn how to code on your own. When you apply a snippet, clear instructions help you customize the code to your specific needs.
This engine allows new users to create lifelike animation with ease, and gives expert users powerful functionality that is supported for both runtime and authortime. When the value is greater than zero, the bone reacts with a physical movement that is proportional to the Strength value and the overall movement. This affects the rate of decay of the spring, which in turn determines the duration between the initial movement and the time when the IK Bone returns to its rest position.

Intelligent selection technology Photoshop CS5 takes the time and frustration out of making precise image selections and masks, providing you a faster way to extract subjects from their backgrounds and create realistic composites.
New intelligent selection technology offers better edge detection and faster, more accurate masking results of complex subjects, like hair.
Automatic color decontamination helps you eliminate background color around the edges of a selection, resulting in more seamless compositions when placing extracted subjects on new backgrounds. With Photoshop CS5 , you can produce highly accurate masks and selections faster and more simply than before with a set of new adaptive selection-edge modification controls. The Refine Radius and Erase Refinements tools customize your masks and selections as you make them.
These tools, in combination with the color decontamination settings, help eliminate any residual background color from around the edges of your selections. The ability to create accurate selections is made easier with the Edge Detection controls in the updated Refine Edge dialog box.
The intelligent selection technologies in Photoshop CS5 enable quicker and more accurate creation of the sophisticated masks used in many design and photo compositions. In this example, a single mask encompassing both the soft-edged hair and hard-edged coat is used to cleanly extract the model from the distracting background. The final result is then layered against a new background in the magazine layout.
Content-Aware Fill One of the most exciting new features in Photoshop CS5 is the remarkable ability to remove an image element and magically replace it with details that match the lighting, tone, and noise of the surrounding area so that it looks like the content never existed.
Now, you can make substantial changes to photo composition quickly and easily, as even large complex subjects can be seamlessly erased. The Content-Aware feature can also be selected as an option when using the Spot Healing brush. You can use Content-Aware Fill with the Spot Healing Brush or as an option of the Fill feature to replace content in an active selection. Selecting the Content-Aware setting with the Spot Healing brush changes the way the tool fills in the areas you paint. This retouching approach is designed to account more fully for the structure and detail of the image elements that surround the painted area, providing a near-invisible result when removing unwanted objects.
Alternatively, you can select the object to be removed, and then replace the area with synthesized details from the area surrounding the selection, simply by using the Content-Aware option in the Fill dialog box. Use Content-Aware Fill in conjunction with the Fill command by making a selection first, and then choosing the Content-Aware option from the Use menu in the Fill dialog box.
Magically remove unwanted detail in your photographs with Content-Aware Fill. In this example, the boat has been removed from the photo by making a rough selection around the subject left and then filling the area with the Content Aware option selected in the Fill dialog box.
The result is a seamless removal of the subject. HDR Pro for creativity and precision with the next generation of high dynamic range imaging With just a few clicks, you can go beyond the capture capabilities of your camera by combining multiple exposures into a single high dynamic range HDR photo that preserves the full tonal range of a scene with high contrast.
Photoshop CS5 introduces HDR Pro for more control over the HDR merging process and greater adjustment power over the mapping of tones and the styling of HDR output, resulting in images that range from photorealistic to highly surreal. HDR Pro offers extended controls, an enhanced dialog box, and improved image processing.
New algorithms enable more accurate alignment of source files and automatically deghost any problem areas that occur when trying to merge source photos where subjects have moved during capture. You can even select a source file to be used as the sole reference for any ghosted areas or allow the feature to do this automatically for you. With new tone-mapping and alignment technologies, sophisticated controls, and an updated dialog box, HDR Pro helps you to produce a variety of creative outcomes from a single set of source files.
New tone-mapping tools and adjustment controls give you the power to implement your own HDR vision, producing photos that range in style from fully textured images of high-contrast scenes to wildly hyper-realistic creations. Save your favorite styles as presets and apply them to multiple groups of source files to provide a common look and feel to your HDR photos.
The new deghosting system automatically gives priority to the content of one source image over the others in problem areas. Or, you can override the auto feature and manually select the base image to use. Left: Without deghosting. Right: With deghosting. Together with the existing Photomerge feature which allows for image stitching , the exposure-merging capabilities of HDR Pro can add up to high-bit-depth, degree panoramas ideal for composite photography, video, and beyond.
State-of-the-art raw-image processing The Adobe Camera Raw 6 plug-in, which ships with Photoshop CS5 , now supports more than camera models as it continues to provide you with the industry-leading conversion of raw files.
In addition, the utility provides advanced, nondestructive image editing and enhancement for raw files, as well as for other standard formats, including JPEG and TIFF. Now you can remove noise, achieve better quality sharpening, and creatively apply new styles of vignettes and film-like grain. Recreate the look of your favorite film with the new Grain feature.
Left: Original photo. Right: After grain has been applied. You can now shoot at higher ISO settings with confidence, because the updated controls in the Adobe Camera Raw 6 plug-in remove the noise common in such high-ISO images as well as in photos captured with long exposures and pictures from consumer cameras while still preserving excellent color and detail. New controls for adding grain and additional post-crop vignetting settings join many creative options already available in this utility, such as the Adjustment Brush and the Graduated Filter.
For the first time, you can add grain-like texture to photos as part of your nondestructive editing workflow. Adjust amount, size, and roughness of grain to easily give composites a more natural, seamless appearance by matching levels of grain across all source images—or simply use the feature to make a digital photo look more organic or film-like.
Updated post-crop vignetting options offer more creative control over the corner darkening and lightening process, and your favorite vignette effects can be saved as presets for quick application across multiple files. Upgraded sharpening options produce clearer photos with fewer artifacts while providing better control over key details, especially when working with high-resolution pictures produced by multi-megapixel cameras.
Extraordinary painting effects With a new Mixer Brush, a Bristle Tips feature, and a new mechanism for blending colors, Photoshop CS5 redefines the way you paint. You can take advantage of more natural and realistic painting effects, making it easy to take your imagery and designs in new artistic directions. The Mixer Brush lets you define multiple colors on a single tip, and then mix and blend them with the underlying hues on your canvas, achieving creative results that rival traditional painting media.
When starting with a photo original, you can use a dry, empty brush to blend the existing colors while at the same time adding a painterly effect to the image. Mixer Brush settings provide extensive control over the wetness of the canvas colors, the load rate that determines amount of paint loaded on the brush, the mixing rate between brush and canvas colors, and whether the brush is refilled, cleaned, or both after each painting stroke.
In conjunction with these new mixing features, Photoshop CS5 incorporates unprecedented control over stroke characteristics of its painting tools with Bristle Tips. Bristle Qualities define key bristle properties such as shape, length, stiffness, thickness, angle, and spacing, which affect how the color is laid on the image as you paint.
The Bristle Brush Preview feature provides a visual representation of these changes, and you can save your tip configurations for future use, allowing you to build a customized collection of Bristle Tips to experiment with when using Photoshop brush tools. Puppet Warp Puppet Warp gives you more freedom when pushing and pulling elements within an image. The feature lets you recompose an image to make it more appealing, or to fit a specific layout, by allowing the precise repositioning of any element within a Photoshop document, or selection, by simply clicking and dragging.
After you reposition an object, Photoshop adjusts the rest of the image to account for the shifted pixels.
