Two new panels in Photoshop CS4 Extended provide convenient yet exacting creative control: The Adjustments panel bypasses dialog boxes and allows direct, nondestructive editing without altering or losing your original image, and the Masks panel speeds creating and fine-tuning pixel and vector masks for application of special effects. What’s more—a top request from Photoshop users—you can now rotate the canvas so that you can work on any image from any angle.

refine high-quality typographic elements thanks to the newly incorporated Adobe text engine. To add Flash components or to produce and publish web pages, export the Fireworks prototype as a CSS-based layout and import it into Flash or Dreamweaver. Whether for websites or for Flash, Flex®, HTML, or Adobe AIR™ applications, you can move from concept to mock-up to prototype to finished product while retaining every modification you make from one step to the next.
PAGE 6
Set your ideas in motion with video and animation If you’ve ever wanted to venture into animation and interactive design, now’s the time. New object-based animation makes designing in Flash more straightforward and similar to working with other Adobe creative applications. This enhanced ease of use reduces the learning curve for print designers accustomed to working with static design elements.
PAGE 7
Powerful new 3D painting and compositing features make editing, enhancing, and manipulating 3D images both exciting and easy. Convert 2D images to common 3D shapes such as cubes, cylinders, or spheres. Paint directly on 3D models with all of the powerful Photoshop image-editing tools, and see the results immediately.

with your favorite Adobe creative tool, and then use Device Central to preview and test it on an extensive selection of devices under a variety of simulated real-life conditions.

PAGE 9
Achieve high-quality production at every step in every medium Creative vision is one part of the success equation; high-quality execution of that vision is the other. Design Premium offers a range of powerful preflight, preview, testing, and correction tools to help you achieve precise control over your finished product, catching mistakes as they occur rather than at the last minute, when it can be costly and timeconsuming to correct them.
PAGE 10
Discover power, depth, and ease at your fingertips Professional design just keeps getting more fast-paced, demanding, and competitive. To maintain your edge (and your equilibrium), you need design tools so well crafted that you never have to think about them—they’re there when and where you need them and they do exactly what you expect, so you can remain absorbed in the creative process.
PAGE 11
In addition to harnessing shared interface enhancements, individual components offer further refinements that make commonly used tools easier to find the first—or the umpteenth—time you use them. For example, new easy access to on-object and onartboard controls in Illustrator let you focus on your artwork, not on searching for panels and options. Creative Pro Online Services Connect to the power of the online community through your creative desktop.
