**** Note: posted for fun on April First *****
I got a chance to look into the new Adobe fireworks and here are the top 5 new features:
1. Custom Brush
The New custom brush from Fireworks Cs5 is the most awaited feature of every fireworks user, you can even add brushed from Illustrator and Photoshop!
2. Photoshop Filters
You can now add stunning effects directly from Fireworks! No need to import from Photoshop to create visually appealing effects.
3. Table Layout
Laying out tables in Fireworks is tiresome, but now Table Layout makes is easier. from the left panel choose Table Layout and you will be presented with the one above.
4. Shear
As we all know Shear tool is very important in having a nice curves in designs but this was not present in any Fireworks version until now.
5. Microsoft Help in Fireworks
The last but not the least, first time ever! Adobe and Microsoft are working hand in hand for this feature. They are also planning to put IE6 inside of Fireworks in the next release!
Hope they release it as soon as April 1st 2010
Very funny. But in all seriousness, for CS5 I really hope they don’t even think about any new fluffy features. Focus solely on bugs, text engine and making a solid application. Please Adobe, CS4 is pure crap.
thanks! except for the last item.. I really want to see some new features (1-4) rather than a new logo then call it CS5!
and also, fix those bugs.
Wow amazing. When they are gonna release it??
Hi all,
I work on the engineering team of Adobe Fireworks application. We are working on an updater for CS4 which will address some of the issues crippling other folks like you.
Nice list for CS5 to be done for us!
..Sarthak
Oh god no…. not the paperclip!! NOOOOOO!!!!!!
That is my dream!
I want Brushes and Filters from photoshop :´(
CS4 is tooooooo slowly！！！！！
Hope CS5 improve the software’s performance !!!
All I ask for is improved performance, photoshop-like manual kearning, and photoshop-like image masking.
No dramatic performance enhancement for mac-users?
No CS5 at all for me!
The CS4 is the most buged software of he Adobe history.
It’s crash every f***** time.
Adobe, I hope u will fix it
