Adobe Labs Previews Fireworks, Soundbooth, and Dreamweaver

Tuesday May 27, 2008

Adobe Labs today posted new beta releases of Dreamweaver, Fireworks, and Soundbooth. All three applications will be included in the next version of Adobe Creative Suite (CS4). In the meantime, licensed users of CS3 can download and use the betas until CS4 is officially released.

If you don’t own a copy of CS3, you can still download and try the beta products, but you’ll be limited to a 48-hour evaluation period.

The new beta version of Dreamweaver, Adobe’s web development tool, features an integrated Live View, which renders a web page as it will display in standards-based browsers. The Related Files feature displays all of the files and objects a page requires to render correctly.

New features in Fireworks, Adobe’s tool for quickly prototyping a web site or web-based application, include an updated interface that seamlessly integrates with other CS applications.

Soundbooth is an audio engineering tool for mixing, recording, and working with audio. This version provides new tools for synchronizing sound with video and removing unwanted noise, multi-track support, and other audio goodies.

Adobe Labs is worth checking on a regular basis. You never know what new Mac applications will be available for a free evaluation.

As far as I know, all of the applications that make up the Creative Suite will be available individually.
