Over the last 24 months web development has seen a change in focus. Welcome to the new version of Adobe Flash Pro – Flash Pro CS6 (or 12 if you want to keep count). Dreamweaver CS6 has added new tools for working with sites that scale from desktop, to tablet, to phone, using some of the latest CSS features. With the explosion in mobile browsing, those changes are now bigger than ever before. The web doesn't stay still, and new browsers and new technologies mean changes to your sites. It's always been an incredibly versatile tool, thanks to a broad feature set, and of course the fact that vector graphics are infinitely scaleable and in most cases relatively lightweight. Luckily for those artists (and Adobe), After Effects CS6 will do nothing to tarnish its status and appeal.Īdobe Illustrator is the industry standard tool for vector drawing and illustration, used by a wide variety of creative professionals including editorial illustrators, identity designers, textile and pattern designers, UI designers, motion artists and many others. With the release of the latest version, part of their major CS6 update, Adobe is working very hard to make sure their clientele stays put.Īdobe After Effects has a huge user base in the motion graphics and animation sectors, so any update to the power of this venerable compositing workhorse will be eagerly scrutinised by those working in broadcast and cross-media applications. Those who fell into the latter category started to shop around, and Adobe was only too pleased to welcome new clients to their platform.

When Apple released Final Cut Pro X last year, many veterans were up in arms as it wasn't just an update to the program they'd come to know, love and rely on, it was a complete departure from what they were used to. In fact, those looking for big splashy show-off features will also be looking in vain.

Those looking for the much-heralded Deblur filter, however, will be disappointed: it's far too early for inclusion this time around. A new version of Photoshop is always a highlight in the designer's calendar, and CS6 is no exception.
