What’s new in Dreamweaver CS4?
In this lesson, you’ll look at some of the newest features in Dreamweaver CS4, if you are using
Dreamweaver for the rst time or new to web design, keep in mind that some of these features
are geared to intermediate or advanced users. You may choose to skip this section and go
directly ”An overview of the features” later in this lesson.
CS4 introduces many innovative design and coding features as well as improvements to
Dreamweaver’s agship features. Because Dreamweaver is part of the industry-standard Adobe
Creative Suite, it has been engineered to work as seamlessly as possible with les from other
CS4 applications, o ering native support for Photoshop les and the ability to edit placed
images directly in Adobe Photoshop CS4.
New user interface
When you launch Dreamweaver CS4, one of the rst things you’ll notice is that it now features
a user interface that is consistent with the rest of the applications in the Creative Suite. A
highlight of this new interface is the workspace con gurator, which allows you to easily choose
the most e cient workspace for the job at hand.
Choose the workspace that matches your tasks—or create your own.
Dreamweaver has included some common workspaces for you, but you can also choose to
create your own custom workspaces. Among the included workspaces is the new compact
mode for your panels, which lets you conserve monitor space by collapsing your panels onto
the right side of the screen and expand them only when needed.
