The final version of Macromedia Studio released include:. Adobe Creative Suite 3 CS3 was announced on March 27, ; it introduced universal binaries for all major programs for the Apple Macintosh , [19] as well as including all of the core applications from Macromedia Studio and Production Studio. Some Creative Suite programs also began using the Presto layout engine used in the Opera web browser.

Adobe began selling CS3 applications in six different combinations called “editions. The latest released CS3 version was version 3. CS3 included several programs, including Dreamweaver , Flash Professional , and Fireworks that were developed by Macromedia , a former rival acquired by Adobe in Adobe dropped the following programs that were previously included in CS2 from the CS3 software bundles: [22].

Adobe had announced that it would continue to develop Audition as a standalone product, while GoLive had been discontinued. Adobe GoLive 9 was released as a standalone product on June 10, Adobe Audition 3 was announced as a standalone product on September 6, Adobe had discontinued ImageReady and had replaced it with Fireworks, with some of ImageReady’s features integrated into Photoshop.

Audition became part of the Creative Suite again in CS5. Adobe CS4 was also developed to perform better under bit and multi-core processors. Two programs were dropped from the CS4 line-up: Adobe Ultra , a vector keying application which utilizes image analysis technology to produce high quality chroma key effects in less than ideal lighting environments and provides keying of a subject into a virtual 3D environment through virtual set technology, and Adobe Stock Photos.

Below is a matrix of the applications that were bundled in each of the software suites for CS Following the release of CS5 in April , Adobe changed its release strategy to an every other year release of major number installments. The update helped developers optimize websites for a variety of tablets, smart phones, and other devices. At the same time, Adobe announced a subscription-based pay service as an alternative to full purchase. Not all products were upgraded to CS5.

Below is a matrix of the applications that were bundled in each of the software suites for CS5. On May 5, , during the opening keynote of its Adobe MAX conference, Adobe announced that it was retiring the “Creative Suite” branding in favor of “Creative Cloud”, and making all future feature updates to its software now appended with “CC” instead of “CS”, e.

Photoshop CC available via the Creative Cloud subscription service rather than through the purchasing of perpetual licenses. Customers must pay a subscription fee and if they stop paying, they will lose access to the proprietary file formats , [39] [40] which are not backward-compatible with the Creative Suite [41] [42] Adobe admitted that this is a valid concern [43]. Individual subscribers must have an Internet connection [44] to download the software and to use the 2 GB of provided storage space or the additionally purchased 20 GB [45] , and must validate the license monthly.

Adobe’s decision to make the subscription service the only sales route for its creative software was met with strong criticism [47] [48] see Creative Cloud controversy. In addition to many of the products formerly part of the Creative Suite one product, Fireworks, was announced as having reached the end of its development cycle , [56] Creative Cloud also offers subscription-exclusive products such as Adobe Muse [57] and the Adobe Edge family, [57] Web-based file and website hosting, Typekit fonts, and access to the Behance social media platform.

New versions with major feature updates have been released regularly, with a refresh of the file formats occurring in October Adobe also announced that it would continue to offer bug fixes for the CS6 products so that they will continue to run on the next versions of Microsoft Windows and Apple OS X.

Abstract These guidelines explain how to make Web content accessible to people with disabilities. The guidelines are intended for all Web content developers page authors and site designers and for developers of authoring tools. The primary goal of these guidelines is to promote accessibility. However, following them will also make Web content more available to all users, whatever user agent they are using e.

Following these guidelines will also help people find information on the Web more quickly. These guidelines do not discourage content developers from using images, video, etc. This is a reference document for accessibility principles and design ideas. Some of the strategies discussed in this document address certain Web internationalization and mobile access concerns.

However, this document focuses on accessibility and does not fully address the related concerns of other W3C Activities. This document is meant to be stable and therefore does not provide specific information about browser support for different technologies as that information changes rapidly.

This document includes an appendix that organizes all of the checkpoints by topic and priority. The checkpoints in the appendix link to their definitions in the current document. The topics identified in the appendix include images, multimedia, tables, frames, forms, and scripts.

The appendix is available as either a tabular summary of checkpoints or as a simple list of checkpoints. The Techniques Document also includes techniques for document validation and testing, and an index of HTML elements and attributes and which techniques use them. The Techniques Document has been designed to track changes in technology and is expected to be updated more frequently than the current document.

Not all browsers or multimedia tools may support the features described in the guidelines. In particular, new features of HTML 4. Status of this document This specification is a Superseded Recommendation.

A newer specification exists that is recommended for new adoption in place of this specification. This document remains available as a reference for old — and possibly still deployed — implementations, but is not recommended for future implementation.

Introduction For those unfamiliar with accessibility issues pertaining to Web page design, consider that many users may be operating in contexts very different from your own:. Content developers must consider these different situations during page design. While there are several situations to consider, each accessible design choice generally benefits several disability groups at once and the Web community as a whole. For example, by using style sheets to control font styles and eliminating the FONT element, HTML authors will have more control over their pages, make those pages more accessible to people with low vision, and by sharing the style sheets, will often shorten page download times for all users.

The guidelines discuss accessibility issues and provide accessible design solutions. They address typical scenarios similar to the font style example that may pose problems for users with certain disabilities. For example, the first guideline explains how content developers can make images accessible. Some users may not be able to see images, others may use text-based browsers that do not support images, while others may have turned off support for images e.

The guidelines do not suggest avoiding images as a way to improve accessibility. Instead, they explain that providing a text equivalent of the image will make it accessible. How does a text equivalent make the image accessible? Both words in “text equivalent” are important:. Note that, in addition to benefitting users with disabilities, text equivalents can help all users find pages more quickly, since search robots can use the text when indexing the pages.

While Web content developers must provide text equivalents for images and other multimedia content, it is the responsibility of user agents e. Non-text equivalents of text e. Non-text equivalents of text can also be helpful to non-readers. An auditory description is an example of a non-text equivalent of visual information.

An auditory description of a multimedia presentation’s visual track benefits people who cannot see the visual information. Themes of Accessible Design The guidelines address two general themes: ensuring graceful transformation, and making content understandable and navigable. Pages that transform gracefully remain accessible despite any of the constraints described in the introduction , including physical, sensory, and cognitive disabilities, work constraints, and technological barriers.

Here are some keys to designing pages that transform gracefully:. Content developers should make content understandable and navigable. This includes not only making the language clear and simple, but also providing understandable mechanisms for navigating within and between pages.

Providing navigation tools and orientation information in pages will maximize accessibility and usability. Not all users can make use of visual clues such as image maps, proportional scroll bars, side-by-side frames, or graphics that guide sighted users of graphical desktop browsers. Users also lose contextual information when they can only view a portion of a page, either because they are accessing the page one word at a time speech synthesis or braille display , or one section at a time small display, or a magnified display.

Without orientation information, users may not be able to understand very large tables, lists, menus, etc. The theme of making content understandable and navigable is addressed primarily in guidelines 12 to This document includes fourteen guidelines , or general principles of accessible design. Each guideline includes:. The checkpoint definitions in each guideline explain how the guideline applies in typical content development scenarios.

Each checkpoint definition includes:. Each checkpoint is intended to be specific enough so that someone reviewing a page or site may verify that the checkpoint has been satisfied. Each checkpoint has a priority level assigned by the Working Group based on the checkpoint’s impact on accessibility.

Otherwise, one or more groups will find it impossible to access information in the document. Satisfying this checkpoint is a basic requirement for some groups to be able to use Web documents.

Otherwise, one or more groups will find it difficult to access information in the document. Satisfying this checkpoint will remove significant barriers to accessing Web documents. Otherwise, one or more groups will find it somewhat difficult to access information in the document.

Satisfying this checkpoint will improve access to Web documents. Some checkpoints specify a priority level that may change under certain indicated conditions. Conformance This section defines three levels of conformance to this document:. Conformance levels are spelled out in text so they may be understood when rendered to speech. Claims of conformance to this document must use one of the following two forms. Form 2: Include, on each page claiming conformance, one of three icons provided by W3C and link the icon to the appropriate W3C explanation of the claim.

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines Guideline 1. Provide equivalent alternatives to auditory and visual content. Provide content that, when presented to the user, conveys essentially the same function or purpose as auditory or visual content. Although some people cannot use images, movies, sounds, applets, etc. The equivalent information must serve the same purpose as the visual or auditory content. Thus, a text equivalent for an image of an upward arrow that links to a table of contents could be “Go to table of contents”.

In some cases, an equivalent should also describe the appearance of visual content e. This guideline emphasizes the importance of providing text equivalents of non-text content images, pre-recorded audio, video.

The power of text equivalents lies in their capacity to be rendered in ways that are accessible to people from various disability groups using a variety of technologies.

Text can be readily output to speech synthesizers and braille displays , and can be presented visually in a variety of sizes on computer displays and paper. Synthesized speech is critical for individuals who are blind and for many people with the reading difficulties that often accompany cognitive disabilities, learning disabilities, and deafness.

Braille is essential for individuals who are both deaf and blind, as well as many individuals whose only sensory disability is blindness.

Text displayed visually benefits users who are deaf as well as the majority of Web users. Providing non-text equivalents e. In movies or visual presentations, visual action such as body language or other visual cues may not be accompanied by enough audio information to convey the same information.

Unless verbal descriptions of this visual information are provided, people who cannot see or look at the visual content will not be able to perceive it.

Checkpoints: 1. This includes : images, graphical representations of text including symbols , image map regions, animations e. For complex content e. Refer also to checkpoint 9.

Techniques for checkpoint 1. Refer to checkpoint 1. Don’t rely on color alone. Ensure that text and graphics are understandable when viewed without color. If color alone is used to convey information, people who cannot differentiate between certain colors and users with devices that have non-color or non-visual displays will not receive the information.

When foreground and background colors are too close to the same hue, they may not provide sufficient contrast when viewed using monochrome displays or by people with different types of color deficits.

Using markup improperly — not according to specification — hinders accessibility. Misusing markup for a presentation effect e. Furthermore, using presentation markup rather than structural markup to convey structure e. Content developers may be tempted to use or misuse constructs that achieve a desired formatting effect on older browsers.

They must be aware that these practices cause accessibility problems and must consider whether the formatting effect is so critical as to warrant making the document inaccessible to some users. At the other extreme, content developers must not sacrifice appropriate markup because a certain browser or assistive technology does not process it correctly.

For example, it is appropriate to use the TABLE element in HTML to mark up tabular information even though some older screen readers may not handle side-by-side text correctly refer to checkpoint Using TABLE correctly and creating tables that transform gracefully refer to guideline 5 makes it possible for software to render tables other than as two-dimensional grids.

Checkpoints: 3. Also, avoid using images to represent text — use text and style sheets instead. Refer also to guideline 6 and guideline Techniques for checkpoint 3. If absolute units are used, validate that the rendered content is usable refer to the section on validation. Do not use headers for font effects. Adobe Dreamweaver is a proprietary web development tool from Adobe Inc.

It was created by Macromedia in [1] and developed by them until Macromedia was acquired by Adobe Systems in Adobe Dreamweaver is available for the macOS and Windows operating systems. Following Adobe’s acquisition of the Macromedia product suite, releases of Dreamweaver subsequent to version 8. Dreamweaver includes a code editor that supports syntax highlighting , code completion , real-time syntax checking , and code introspection for generating code hints to assist the user in writing code.

Since version 5, Dreamweaver supports syntax highlighting for the following languages:. Users can add their language syntax highlighting. Code completion is available for many of these languages.

SERIAL NUMBER ADOBE CS4 ~ Evening After Rain

 

Adobe Photoshop is a raster graphics editor developed and published by Adobe Inc. It was originally created in by Thomas and John Knoll. Since then, the software has become the industry standard not only in raster graphics editing, but in digital art as a whole.

The software’s name is often colloquially used as a verb e. In addition to raster graphics, Photoshop has limited abilities to edit or render text and vector graphics especially through clipping path for the latter , as well as 3D graphics and video. Its feature set can be expanded by plug-ins ; programs developed and distributed independently of Photoshop that run inside it and offer new or enhanced features. Photoshop’s naming scheme was initially based on version numbers. However, in October following the introduction of Creative Suite branding , each new version of Photoshop was designated with ” CS ” plus a number; e.

With the introduction of the Creative Cloud branding in June and in turn, the change of the ” CS ” suffix to ” CC ” , Photoshop’s licensing scheme was changed to that of software as a service subscription model. As of November , Adobe has also released a full version of Photoshop for the iPad , and while initially limited, Adobe plans to bring more features to Photoshop for iPad.

Photoshop was developed in by two brothers Thomas and John Knoll , who sold the distribution license to Adobe Systems Incorporated in Thomas Knoll, a Ph. Thomas took a six-month break from his studies in to collaborate with his brother on the program. Thomas renamed the program ImagePro, but the name was already taken. During this time, John traveled to Silicon Valley and gave a demonstration of the program to engineers at Apple and Russell Brown, art director at Adobe.

Both showings were successful, and Adobe decided to purchase the license to distribute in September Photoshop 1. The handling of color slowly improved with each release from Adobe and Photoshop quickly became the industry standard in digital color editing. At the time Photoshop 1. The list price of Photoshop 1.

Photoshop was initially only available on Macintosh. The Windows port led to Photoshop reaching a wider mass market audience as Microsoft ‘s global reach expanded within the next few years. Photoshop files have default file extension as.

PSD , which stands for ” P hoto s hop D ocument”. This is in contrast to many other file formats e. JPG or. GIF that restrict content to provide streamlined, predictable functionality. A PSD file has a maximum height and width of 30, pixels, and a length limit of two gigabytes. These formats are required to use the file in publications or on the web. Photoshop can also create and use files with the extension. PSB, which stands for “Photoshop Big” also known as “large document format”.

The dimension limit was apparently chosen arbitrarily by Adobe, not based on computer arithmetic constraints it is not close to a power of two, as is 30, but for ease of software testing.

Photoshop functionality can be extended by add-on programs called Photoshop plugins or plug-ins. Adobe creates some plugins, such as Adobe Camera Raw, but third-party companies develop most plugins, according to Adobe’s specifications. Some are free and some are commercial software.

Most plugins work with only Photoshop or Photoshop-compatible hosts, but a few can also be run as standalone applications. There are various types of plugins, such as filter, export, import, selection, color correction, and automation. The most popular plugins are the filter plugins also known as a 8bf plugins , available under the Filter menu in Photoshop.

Filter plugins can either modify the current image or create content. Below are some popular types of plugins, and some well-known companies associated with them:. Adobe Camera Raw also known as ACR and Camera Raw is a special plugin, supplied free by Adobe, used primarily to read and process raw image files so that the resulting images can be processed by Photoshop.

Upon loading Photoshop, a sidebar with a variety of tools with multiple image-editing functions appears to the left of the screen. These tools typically fall under the categories of drawing ; painting ; measuring and navigation ; selection ; typing ; and retouching.

These can be expanded to reveal similar tools. In some newer versions hovering along the tools gives a small Video glimpse of the tool. Photoshop includes a few versions of the pen tool. The pen tool creates precise paths that can be manipulated using anchor points.

The free form pen tool allows the user to draw paths freehand, and with the magnetic pen tool, the drawn path attaches closely to outlines of objects in an image, which is useful for isolating them from a background. The Clone Stamp tool duplicates one part of an image to another part of the same image by way of a brush. The duplication is either in full or in part depending on the mode.

The user can also clone part of one layer to another layer. The Clone Stamp tool is useful for duplicating objects or removing a defect in an image. Photoshop provides an array of shape tools including rectangles, rounded rectangles, ellipses, polygons and lines.

These shapes can be manipulated by the pen tool, direct selection tool etc. In addition, Photoshop provides its own shapes like animals, signs and plants. The eyedropper tool selects a color from an area of the image that is clicked, and samples it for future use. Selection tools are used to select all or any part of a picture to perform cut, copy, edit, or retouching operations. The crop tool can be used to select a particular area of an image and discard the portions outside the chosen section.

This tool assists in creating a focus point on an image and unnecessary or excess space. The crop tool is in the tools palette, which is located on the right side of the document. By placing the cursor over the image, the user can drag the cursor to the desired area.

Once the Enter key is pressed, the area outside the rectangle will be cropped. The area outside the rectangle is the discarded data, which allows for the file size to be decreased. The slice and slice select tools, like the crop tool, are used in isolating parts of images. The slice tool can be used to divide an image into different sections, and these separate parts can be used as pieces of a web page design once HTML and CSS are applied.

The move tool can be used to drag the entirety of a single layer or more if they are selected. Alternatively, once an area of an image is highlighted, the move tool can be used to manually relocate the selected piece to anywhere on the canvas.

The marquee is a tool that can make selections that are a single row, single column, rectangular and elliptical. This tool can also crop an image; it allows for better control.

In contrast to the crop tool, the marquee tool allows for more adjustments to the selected area before cropping. The only marquee tool that does not allow cropping is the elliptical. Although the single row and column marquee tools allow for cropping, they are not ideal, because they only crop a line.

The rectangular marquee tool is the preferred option. Once the tool has been selected, dragging the tool across the desired area will select it. The selected area will be outlined by dotted lines, referred to as “marching ants”. To set a specific size or ratio, the tool options bar provides these settings.

Before selecting an area, the desired size or ratio must be set by adjusting the width and height. Any changes such as color, filters, location, etc. To crop the selection, the user must go to the image tab and select crop.

The lasso tool is similar to the marquee tool, however, the user can make a custom selection by drawing it freehand. The regular lasso tool allows the user to have drawing capabilities.

Photoshop will complete the selection once the mouse button is released. The user may also complete the selection by connecting the end point to the starting point.

The “marching ants” will indicate if a selection has been made. The polygonal lasso tool will draw only straight lines, which makes it an ideal choice for images with many straight lines. Unlike the regular lasso tool, the user must continually click around the image to outline the shape. To complete the selection, the user must connect the end point to the starting point just like the regular lasso tool.

Magnetic lasso tool are considered the smart tool. It can do the same as the other two, but it can also detect the edges of an image once the user selects a starting point. It detects by examining the color pixels as the cursor moves over the desired area.

Closing the selection is the same as the other two, which should also should display the “marching ants” once the selection has been closed. The quick selection tool selects areas based on edges, similarly to the magnetic lasso tool.

The difference between this tool and the lasso tool is that there is no starting and ending point. For this reason, the selected area can be added onto as much as possible without starting over. By dragging the cursor over the desired area, the quick selection tool detects the edges of the image. The “marching ants” allow the user to know what is currently being selected. Once the user is done, the selected area can be edited without affecting the rest of the image.

One of the features that makes this tool especially user friendly is that the SHIFT key is not needed to add more to the selection; by default, extra mouse clicks will be added to the selection rather than creating a new selection. The magic wand tool selects areas based on pixels of similar values.
