Adobe Fireworks CS5: What's in the New Release?

Reina Brown
Everyone is wondering what the new Adobe Fireworks CS5 release will bring. In addition, they are hoping that Adobe Fireworks CS5 is much better than Adobe Fireworks CS4, since Adobe Fireworks CS4 was full of bugs, had crappy features and crashed on numerous occasions. The good news is Adobe Fireworks CS5 is better than Adobe Fireworks CS4 because not only are there a number of cool features, Adobe Fireworks CS5 works better than Adobe Fireworks CS4 in that it is not quite as buggy, and it does not crash as often.

Cool Features

The Adobe Fireworks CS5 software has five cool features that users will certainly want to know about. These features set the Adobe Fireworks CS5 software apart from any in its group, and they make the software easy and fun to use. To have an in depth understanding of what these features, we will explore them in detail.

1. Table Layout. In the past, making tables n any of the Adobe Fireworks CS software used to be a pain beyond belief. In Adobe Fireworks CS5, this is no longer the case. Creating tables is as easy as one, two, and three because all one has to do is choose "table layout" and then a table is created just like that.

2. Microsoft Help. For the first time ever, Microsoft is working with Adobe to add a help feature in the software. Along with Microsoft Help, Internet Explorer 6 will also be incorporated in the next release.

3. Shear. With the shear feature, individuals can add neat curves and designs to their photos. This enables them to easily add their own personal touches.

4. Custom Brushing. Individuals wanting to add custom brushing to their photos will be elated to know that this is definitely possible. Those wanting to add custom brushing from Photoshop can also do this with minimal difficulty.

5. Photoshop Filter. The Adobe Fireworks CS5 software has a filter that enables individuals to add stunning visual effects to any photo of their choice without having to import photos through Photoshop. Past versions of the Adobe Fireworks CS software required that individuals first import photos through Photoshop first to add the visual effects that they wanted, and then, the photo was placed in the Adobe Fireworks CS software for the finishing touches. Now, everything can be done straight from Adobe Fireworks CS5 with little effort at all.

Cons to Adobe Fireworks CS5

Remarkably, there are not too many cons to using Adobe Fireworks CS5. The only ones at present is that there are a very small amount of bugs. But by the time the new software is released, they should be ironed out. It appears that the Adobe Fireworks CS5 expectations just might be completely met this time around.

    THIS IS ALL COMPLETELY BOGUS. It's a joke or something, none of these features are for real.

    Microsoft helping Adobe? Haha, yeah right.

    As far as I can tell, "Table Layout" is just a rumor. I purchased CS5 today on the strength of your posting here. I can find NOTHING in the software or the Adobe help forums or other Fireworks forums about this feature. WTF, man???
