Top 3 New Features in Dreamweaver CS4

November 17th, 2008 by Andrew Whiteman

by Andrew Whiteman

1. Smart Objects

The Photoshop integration which was begun in Dreamweaver CS3 has been enhanced in CS4 to offer via the use of Adobe’s Smart Objects technology. A Photoshop file can be imported directly into Dreamweaver and will automatically come in as a smart object.

Photoshop images are can be inserted using the same techniques as inserting any other image file: Insert - Image; dragging from the Files panel; dragging from the Assets panel; or using the Insert toolbar. A Photoshop-style Optimise window automatically appears and you can choose the settings appropriate for that particular image usually GIF, JPEG or PNG.

Once the image has been imported, an icon is displayed in the upper left of the image indicating that it is a smart object. Also, in the Property Inspector, the location of the original PSD file is shown in a box marked “Original”.

2. CSS Improvements

Once the image has been imported, an icon is displayed in the upper left of the image indicating that it is a smart object. Also, in the Property Inspector, the location of the original PSD file is shown in a box marked “Original”.

In Dreamweaver CS4, the Property Inspector contains buttons which allow you to switch between HTML and CSS options. When working in the CSS options, you can now target a specific CSS rule before choosing an attribute or, if necessary, create a new rule.

3. Improvements to CSS styles

HTML is a notoriously sparse environment which relies on files created with other technogies to add functionality to web pages. Typical examples of related files are server-side includes, CSS, JavaScript and XML. Dreamweaver now includes a feature called “Related Files” which enables you to edit the content of such files, without having to open them separately, and to instantly see the effect of your changes on the main file.

Whenever you open a file which contains linked files, Dreamweaver displays each of the linked files in the Related Files Bar. To access a related file just click on its name. If you make any changes to a related file and asterisk appears next to its name in the Related Files Bar to remind you to save your changes. When you do, the impact of the changes is immediately visible in the main file.

The Easy Way To Protect Your Computer From Spyware

November 15th, 2008 by Jack Mason

by Jack Mason

These days it’s ever-so important to use an anti-spyware program on your computer to protect it from harmful spyware and adware infections. There are many different spyware removers to choose from so we thought it would be useful to discuss some important things to look for in an anti-spyware program.

It’s essential that you protect you computer from spyware and adware if you are connected to the internet. Without a proper anti-spyware program, you put your personal information and computer’s performance speed at risk.

Here are some features that we recommend looking for in a spyware remover:

1) Ability to detect and destroy all forms of spyware

The term “spyware” consists of a lot of different types of infections. You have to look out for keyloggers, robots, browser hijackers, worms, dialers - There’s far too many to list here!

Obviously it isn’t your job to know exactly what all of these infections are, but it is the job of your anti-spyware program! You better be sure your spyware remover is aware of all the different infections that are out there.

Look for a program that seeks and destroys all of these malicious programs and is able to clear them from your system.

2) Automatic spyware definition updates

There are new types of spyware hitting the internet each day. It’s vital that your anti-spyware program knows how to detect and destroy these new infections otherwise your computer will be left vulnerable.

Look for a program that automatically updates itself so that it always knows what new threats it needs to protect your computer against. This will make sure your computer is always being fully protected.

3) Automatic Full System Scans

One of my faults is that I’m just plain forgetful!

It might sound like a little thing, but having a program that automatically scans your computer for spyware each week is an important feature. Instead of you having to remember to open up the program and run a system scan, the program will automatically do it based on a pre-set schedule that you decide on (I recommend a weekly scan).

4) Exceptional Customer Support

Although it’s extremely rare that you would ever need technical support for a spyware remover (they really just run themselves once installed), I want to know that there is support available just in case it’s ever needed.

To me, a company that offers quick support is dedicated to keeping their customers happy. It’s a sign of a company that is putting in the effort to produce quality products.

I like to know I have email support whenever I need it, and I love to see a “live chat” feature where you can get instant support if need be.

You can use the link at the bottom of this article to read reviews on the top-ranked spyware removers out there. The reviewers looked closely at the support that each product offers. It might not neccessarilly be something you use, but it says a lot about the company behind the program.

When you go hunting for an anti-spyware program, look for these four features so that you know you are using the most effective spyware protection available. You absolutely must defend your system from spyware these days - following these steps lets you surf the net without any worries. Good luck!

Adobe InDesign CS4: Top Three New Features

November 6th, 2008 by Andrew Whiteman

by Andrew Whiteman

1. Enhanced interactive document features

InDesign’s Links panel keeps track of files imported into your document and indicates the current status of linked files: for example, showing you if a file has been modified or is missing. InDesign CS4 includes considerable enhancements to this useful utility. For a start, there is now a thumbnail next to each item listed in the Links panel and the page number shown next to each item is a clickable link which takes you straight to the image.

CS4 also introduces a feature called a “parent entry”. This refers to an image which has been imported several times within the document (a typical example would be a logo placed in a header or footer). Instead of creating a separate entry for each instance of the image, InDesign now offers a single entry with a show/hide arrow icon which, when clicked, shows you the detail of each image.

The Link Info window is also now integrated into the Links panel and is now much more interactive. You simply double-click an image to display it and it now contains buttons which allow you to move from image to image. Add to this the ability to customise which columns of information appear in both the Links panel and the Link Info panel and we have a really impressive tool for keeping track of imported images.

2. Enhanced interactive document features

InDesign’s Links panel keeps track of files imported into your document and indicates the current status of linked files: for example, showing you if a file has been modified or is missing. InDesign CS4 includes considerable enhancements to this useful utility. For a start, there is now a thumbnail next to each item listed in the Links panel and the page number shown next to each item is a clickable link which takes you straight to the image.

Creating interactive buttons has been made easier than ever. Instead of a button tool, CS4 now has a Buttons panel which also includes button states. Having converted an element to a button, the Buttons panel allows you to add “rollover” and “click” states and assign actions.

Another welcome addition is the ability to add page transitions. Also, having added interactivity to a layout, you can now export to Flash (.swf) files as well as PDF.

3. Conditional text

Adobe have responded to the growing need for designers to create electronic documents by significantly enhancing the tools available for adding interactivity to InDesign files. The Hyperlinks panel now contains a URL field, enabling you to create a link by simply highlighting some text and entering the required URL.

Conditions are created in a panel not unlike the layers panel. Initially all text within the document forms part of the default condition: namely, it is unconditional, meaning that, by default, all text will appear regardless of which conditions are active. You simply need to create a condition for each version of the document you wish to create: just choose “New Condition” from the Conditions panel menu. Next highlight the text you wish to associate with that condition and click on the name of the condition in the Conditions panel.

The conditional text feature can even be used with images and text frames, provided they are anchored objects. Once you have set up all the conditional elements, to produce a particular version of your document, you simply activate the appropriate condition in the Conditions panel. The document is then ready to be printed or converted to PDF.

Adobe Photoshop Background

November 6th, 2008 by James Beck

by David Peters

Never before in the history of photography have more people been able to create such exciting and professional effects on their own. Using your computer you can purchase software at affordable prices which is used by veteran graphic designers and photographers around the world. While there is a large pool of programs to choose from, no programs can come close to Photoshop. The term ‘to Photoshop’ has been taken into everyday use to mean enhancing photographs, showing its popularity and celebrity reputation.

It is possible to ‘Photoshop’ images to give fantasy the illusion of reality. You can alter images so that figures and objects appear in the image that could never be seen together. Whether it’s a party with past presidents, Frankenstein and the Easter Bunny, or a picture of you and a celebrity you’ve never met, you can make anything appear completely realistic.

One thing that Photoshop is closely associated with is isolating aspects of the image you don’t want and removing them. This can be used to improve physical features, such as smoothing out damaged skin or covering up body piercings, and can even be used to remove whole objects from the image that detract from the photograph like a distracting person in the background. With Photoshop it is unlikely that you will be able to tell that any alteration has been done to the picture, as the software is so complex.

Photoshop is the industry standard for photography editing. This means that it is essential to learn how to use this application, but don’t worry if you think it will be difficult. Like all good programs, it is easy to use and hard to master. The interface is accessible to the user, so that starting out is not complicated. If you feel you need help, ask any college students you know to teach you as they will probably be familiar with Photoshop.

In 1989 Thomas and John Knoll developed a basic program which was to eventually become Photoshop. They were using this program for their own projects, but they soon realised they could make money by selling the program as it added real value to anyone wanting to edit photography. They quickly formed the company Adobe and began marketing the product.

Adobe’s achievement is difficult to put in perspective. This small company has designed programs that are on almost every computer in the world. The Adobe Reader, a free PDF reader, is used by everyone to read PDFs due to its simplicity and reliability. The PDF format is just another example of how Adobe has taken over a format, creating software related to it that becomes the world-wide standard.

To become familiar with Photoshop, the best thing to do is to find a copy to experiment with. Chances are a friend of yours has it, so play around with the program until you get used to the interface. If your friend knows how to use Photoshop, he or she can show you and teach you faster than most online tutorials can. Take care though, because once you see the amazing things Photoshop can do, you will become a fan forever.

Downloading a copy for your own use will make it easier to practice using Photoshop. You can get a free trial version, but it will have limited features. The best thing to do is to buy a full version from Adobe as then you don’t have to worry anymore and can concentrate on learning how to use the product. Photoshop is used so much, that it makes sense buying a copy. Once you own a copy, you may find that you spend hours experimenting and exploring the features. While this is a great way to get used to the features, specific learning in a Photoshop class can improve your learning curve and make you understand Photoshop faster.

After you are used to Photoshop there is nothing stopping you from creating whatever images you want. There are infinite possibilities for what you can make. Experiment and remember to have fun!

While others see it as something captured digitally by means of a digital camera.

In general, digital photography is a style of photography that does not involve film. This is the fundamental idea of digital photo capture.

How can digital photography fix the image quality of a certain photo? To guarantee that your photo gets the best image quality, check the setting of your digital camera before snapping your shot. If the image is already in your computer, simply check out the image on the computer screen to confirm if your image has the highest image quality.

Repairing the image quality of a digital photograph frequently involves quite a few elements such as the colors and the contrast. The contrast is significant if you want to get the finest result in your photos. To add life to your photos, you can improve the image quality by adjusting its colors.

Highlighting Text In Microsoft Word

November 1st, 2008 by Andrew Whiteman

by Andrew Whiteman

Before you can edit or format your text, you need to highlight it. Highlighting your text is a way of telling Microsoft Word that you want to work with a certain piece of text. (Highlighting is also referred to as selecting.)

The simplest way of highlighting text is to position the cursor where you want to start highlighting, click and hold the mouse button down and drag to the position where you want to end the highlight. It is not essential to drag across every single line that you want to highlight. It is sufficient to go in a straight line from the start to the finish.

To deselect your text and remove any highlight, click somewhere in your text. You will then see the flashing cursor appear at the point where you click.

Another simple way of highlighting text is to select the entire document. This is done with the “Select All” command. In Microsoft Word 2007, the “Select All” command is found in the “Editing” group of the “Home” Tab of the Word Ribbon. Click on the “Select” menu and choose “Select All”.

The “Select All” command is found in many programs and many environments. It can also be accessed from the keyboard using Control-A: just hold down the Control key while typing “A”.

As well as selecting characters by dragging across them, Word also allows you to select whole lines. To do this, place the cursor in the left margin and you’ll notice that it changes to an arrow pointing to the right. Once the cursor changes, you can simply click once to select a single line or click and drag to select multiple lines.

Another way of highlighting text is to click several times. To highlight a single word, double click on the word; to highlight an entire paragraph, click three times anywhere in the paragraph.

It is also possible to select text via the keyboard. Most of these techniques involve using the Shift key. One popular technique is click followed by Shift-click. First, click to set the start of the area that needs to be selected; next hold down the Shift key and click to set the point where you want the selection to end. All the text between the two clicks will then be selected.

To select text without the mouse, use the cursor keys on your keyboard to position the cursor where you want your selection to start. Next, press the Shift key in conjunction with one of the cursor keys. To highlight character by character, press the right or left arrow depending on the direction that you want to move. To select line by line press the down arrow or up arrow.

The Shift key can also be used together with the Control key. For example, if you hold down Control and Shift then press the right arrow, you will highlight word by word instead of character by character. Similarly, if you hold down Control and Shift and press the down cursor key, you will highlight paragraph by paragraph.

The Home and End keys can also be used in this context. For example, if the cursor is positioned in the middle of a line, pressing Shift and Home will select from that position to the start of the line while pressing Shift and End will select from the cursor position to the end of the line. Holding down Control and Shift and pressing the right arrow will select from the cursor position to the start of the document. Control, Shift and End will select from the cursor position to the end of the document.
