Photoshop smart objects
For this version, Dreamweaver supports a key, long-standing feature of the other Creative
Suite programs—smart objects. Dreamweaver CS4 o ers support for Photoshop smart objects,
meaning you can drag a PSD le into a web page within Dreamweaver, optimize the image
for the web, and even resize it. If you later update the original PSD le, a red arrow appears
on the image in Dreamweaver, indicating that the source le has changed. You can then click
the Update from Original button in the Property Inspector, and a new version of the image
is created.
Smart objects provide easier optimizing and updating of graphics.
Other new features
Adobe AIR authoring support
Adobe AIR is a cross-platform system that lets developers combine HTML, AJAX, Adobe
Flash, and Flex technologies to deploy Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) on the desktop.
Because it fully supports Adobe AIR, Dreamweaver allows developers to use familiar tools to
build their applications and easily deliver a single application installer that works across multiple
operating systems.
