Web design workflow between Dreamweaver, Muse and Reflow?

Do these 3 programs fit together in some kind of smooth workflow or does each program represents a different workflow based on the designer vs developer involvment on a project? I guess Im just confused why adobe has 3 programs for designers to create websites in?

PLEASE ADOBE READ BELOW, and fulfill this designer wish
Edge Reflow is really amazing. It's an huge tool to create responsive webdesign. Insanely great, fun and designer oriented! I love it!
Muse is really terrific. Amazing. Another huge tool to create website for a designer! I love it too.
But the question is: why you in Adobe waste time and smart developers to develop a single app like Edge Reflow instead integrate it natively in MUSE ????
I think Edge Reflow app is a not sense. Really!
Build responsive website in Edge Reflow is great, but you can't add animation, plugin etc.
Build a website with html 5 animation, plugin, etc. is astounding in Muse but you can't build a real responsive website: only useless and ridiculous versions for tablet, phone, to point to specific url...things of 10 years ago...).
What the sense to have the useless Muse's Tab "Desktop" "Tablet" and now "Phone" if they don't control the main website (read responsive)? They are useless. It's like a Ferrari with the pedals instead an engine. Who use these tabs to build a website? Do we really need to build three website version and point these to http://www.myawesomesite.com/ http://phone.myawesomesite.com http://tablet.myawesomesite.com/ and drive specific version with JS.... in 2014 ??? Come on.
My wish:
These useless Muse's tabs should be replaced with the interface pieces of Edge reflow (the stretch system to determinate the size is really amazing). They are awesome and wonderful. After complete the job by adding some Muse's panels to replicate Edge Reflow functions.
No more "app juggling", tons of time saved, the best software ever to build website. The new version name? MuseReflow. Of course. Sounds good isn't it?
Come on guys fulfill this designer wish. Maybe for Christmas?
Please
Thanks

Is there a good workflow between LR2.6 and PSE8?

Is there a good workflow between LR2.6 and PSE8? I am new to PSE and would like to use it as a secondary editor but continue to use LR to manage my photos. I read that PSE8 will handle raw format but can not get LR to export other than TIF, JPG and PSD. I woiuld appreciate tips fro others doing the same.

I noticed with one of my two LR2.6/PSE8 installations, that LR did not pick up PSE8 automatically as installed. I had to add the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe
with two values to the registry (obviously I'm a WinXP user).
The attached .txt file embedded in the .zip shows the key and the two values needed in my case. To add the values to a registry, extact the .txt file from the .zip, remove the .txt extension from the name to make it a .reg file and double click it (at your own risk!).
After adding them, LR would show Edit in Adobe Photoshop Elements ... as an option, which it would not before.

How to work between adobe muse and dreamweaver in different computers?

Hi there,
i am working with muse and I have a dev who is helping with some code working in DW. I need to be able to update in muse and keep the same changes the developer mades in Dreamweaver.
What I have been doing to date is linking the business catalys to dreamweaver and it works till a certain stage.
I wish I could do all changes and then update but my ' boss' keeps changing mind on structure and look of the site
Kind regards
A

There is no backwards compatibility between Muse and Dreamweaver. You cannot mix the two programs.
Well, I shouldn't say you can't because you can but it is very tricky and depends on how you have it set up. If Dreamweaver has to make changes to the actual pages made in Muse you will break compatibility with Muse.

Is there an alternative web design program to Adobe Muse that accepts .psd files?

I already frequently use Dreamweaver and Fireworks for web design. I do graphic design in Photoshop and export it to Adobe Muse to make websites. I've also used Word Press and Joomla. I love Muse; however, it forces me to flatten the psd layers first before importing. OR I have to use a tool that allows the files to go in Muse as layers but then they never end up aligning correctly. I'd like to design the web background in Photoshop and do the links elsewhere. I've ever tried to import to Dreamweaver, but it never works right.

Slicing was really designed for web use. Though I suppose it has other uses.
What you can do is move each part of the image to its own layer. Then in File>Scripts is a command to export all layers to files. Or if you have photoshop CC you can name each layer a filename with extension to generate individual images.

Web Design Qualifications, Why Dreamweaver and Hosting Companies

What a wonderfully lovely forum!
Thank you for the information – was most helpful!
(See thread ‘Bugs, Viruses and Webdesigners’)
Have since carried out a little more research and with
everything in mind, I have decided to give doing my own website
another go and would appreciate any advice on the following.
The site will have. . .
- A small online shop (whereby customers can browse various
items and pay (securely) online).
- Various details about my business.
- Quite a few photographs (though most are quite small
– the odd one being of reasonable size).
- And I will be editing the site on an almost daily basis (my
business holds various showjumping competitions so results, show
dates, class times, photographs etc will need updating frequently).
First of all, I do not want this bug lark all over again
(please see afore mentioned thread). Can anyone recommend a good
hosting company which is easy to use, can facilitate the above
features, will allow me to use my own website builder and which
will cater for a small site without allowing bugs, viruses etc to
cause me problems?
(I want extreme security this time).
And if I decide it’s beyond me and want to go with a
website designer are there any certifications/licences they should
have that I need to look out for?
Also (so many questions, I am sorry) is there any reason
Dreaweaver is the preffered tool? I feel it's out of my depth but
wonder what makes it so special?

Hi! Phoebe

This is a big request for most website builders, designers,
etc, how ever it
is not imposable to do with the right tools. you might want
to look at using
somthing like paypal to get started in this direction first.
> - Various details about my business.
This is the easy part it between <html> and
</html>

You will need a good photo editor to make your images
sutitable for
displaying in your site, Keep the origanals (large images) of
the site and
the site for down loading after they are paid for.

Very do able its done by almost evry one daily.

I have use a company called Cristal Tech web hosting for
about six years or
longer I can't rember for sure but they have plans for every
one from small
personal sites to verry large corpeation sites. They offer
full controle
over your site through a controle panel and its yours to do
whatever you
have to do. I have never used a redy made site builder I
stared with note
pad and then to editpad and up to dreamwever with version UD1
which I think
was dreamweaver two or three but I have always had my own
tools to upload my
sites.

it will take
some time, and just come here and read whats going on and
you'll get it. F1

Workflow: Fireworks + Dreamweaver + Muse?

Are there any recommendations, either from Adobe or from user experience, on workflow for those of us who at times want to use Fireworks with Muse or Dreamweaver with Muse?
I had understood from presentations that this is not specifically supported by Muse, but then participants / demonstrators showed projects where they used DW and FW with Muse.
Example? I have projects that a client wants template elements that are raster - cannot be rendered by even the most advanced CSS, etc. This needs to be 'cut' in FW. My typical workflow with something like this would be to render in photoshop, cut in FW and then produce / edit code in DW. There are items that render very well in Muse. Why not bring a project like this into Muse as a last step?
Any recommendations or advice?
Any tutorials or links that go with your advice?

Please check this small video of how fireworks can be sync with Adobe Muse, http://tv.adobe.com/watch/muse-feature-tour/muse-roundtrip-editing-in-photoshop-and-firewo rks/
You also have an option of placing a photoshop button in Muse, which detects the layers in the photoshop file to be used for different states.
If you have a different suggestion I recommend that you add it to the ideas section over here, http://forums.adobe.com/community/muse/ideas

InDesign -- Illustrator, For a Web Design Workflow

I know we can't be the only team that has grappled with this problem, so here goes:
I work for a company with a graphic design department and a web development team; I am part of the latter. Our graphics team works on Macs using InDesign CS5.5 and their designs come to us in PDF 1.5 (Acrobat 6). The development team uses CS5.5 on Windows. The designers primarily output for print (we do a lot of direct mail), so just about everything is geared for that; they also develop our web layouts, which is how we come to our problem...
When we open graphics' PDF in Illustrator, to isolate say, a background, all the text has exploded into 100+ layers making it difficult to track down all the assets we need for the website. One line of text with a stroke around the letters and a drop-shadow behind all that might look like this:
Layer 1
<Group>
T
S
E
B
HE
T                         (THE BEST, displays on one line)
<group>
<clipping path>
<path>                       (stroke)
<compound path>     (stroke again, not sure why this one is different)
..... (more below)
..... (and eventually...)
<group>                              (drop-shadow group)
See how unruly the layers are?
Is this an InDesign issue, say, how they've set up the file? Or an Illustrator problem, interpreting how it's exported? We've done a lot of web research the past couple of days; we're still scratching our heads, trying to isolate the problem, and improve the current workflow. We tried exporting EPS (level 3) and encountered the same myriad-layers problem.
I really, really hope we're not the only ones with this problem and that someone out there has seen it and beat it. Any help would sure be appreciated!
Regards,
Ansel Taft

On behalf of Adobe Systems Incorporated ...
Please understand that Adobe Illustrator is not, repeat not, repeat yet again NOT a general purpose PDF file editor. Adobe Illustrator is only capable of fully editing a PDF file that was saved directly from either the same or earlier version of Adobe Illustrator and if the option was selected to retain Illustrator editability! (Likewise, Adobe Illustrator is not a general purpose PostScript or EPS file editor.)
Thus, you should expect problems when attempting to edit a PDF file exported from Adobe InDesign or for that matter, almost any other program. Why not simply open the Windows' users InDesign documents on your Macintosh in InDesign? That would eliminate all the issues you have.

Workflow between Photoshop 4 and CP5

I made in PS4 a image with 8 layers, each layer represents a dot on a map.
After importing into CP5 I animated the layer.
I want now to make minor changes in PS4 to adjust the elements of the animation, lets say change the color.
Is there a workflow that I might open with PS the layers I have already animated in CP5?
And then continue the work in CP5
Is that a feature with PS5 or is there a way with PS4 and CP5?
When I select in CP5 a layer, I see the Linkage/path to the image and a button Aktualisation, but both are greyed.
So there might be a way to actualise the modified layer content layer by layer?

Hello,
There is a difference between CP4 and CP5. In both cases the layers are imported and converted to PNG-graphics, but in CP4 you can only edit layer per layer whereas in CP5 (if you have the eLearning suite 2) you can edit the source file. But in both cases the changes will be reflected immediately. I just tried your workflow with CP5 and Ps4 and I was able to edit a layer that had an effect applied to it (hope it is that what you mean by animating?). The changes were immediately reflected in the Library and on the stage. I did change the color (applied a Black/White filter) and erased part of the image and that worked well. I do have both eLearning suite 1 (with Ps4) and 2 installed, but CP5 and Ps4 are not in the same suite of course.
Of course you are using German version, but still I'm puzzled by your 'Linkage path and a button Actualise'. This is what I'm seeing in the Library:
The green button means that there is synchronisation between the original PS-file and Captivate. Are we talking about the same versions?

Character animation workflow between AE, PS, and PP. Help!

I just finished my first animation test. Please check here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GN7Xjzxi568
My general workflow... (Creative Suite 5 on a 2011 27" iMac 2.7GHz quad-core Intel Core i5, 4 GB RAM, 1 TB 7200rpm HD, AMD Radeon HD 6770M w/ 512 MB)
The character is created in PS. I draw the character and then cut out each body part as a separate layer to make a puppet for animation in AE. Since I am making my characters in PS, I need very large files because I may want a close up on the characters face for instance. The .psd that I import into AE is around 7000x7000 file.
As you can see in my video, my backgrounds are video. I am using a Canon 5DII shooting 24fps @ 1080p.
Let's just say I had many, many issues getting the video above to work. I don't want to recount what I did as it was most likely the wrong way to do it.
My question is, what should my workflow be?
Should I cut the background video in Premiere Pro, and then do a dynamic link between PP and AE, do my animation on top of the cut video sent from PP, and then send it back to PP after I'm done?
ALSO, the 18 second video above took around 2 hours to export. My final output is always 720p, so should I be batch converting all my video before hand to 720p as it will make editing and exporiting a lot faster? Will adding RAM to my computer make rendering/exporting faster, or will that just give me general performance increase? It's only about $100 to upgrade to 16GB of RAM and I should probably get on that. Or is rendering/exporting only reliatn on the CPU/GPU?

My good friend Angie Taylor is one of the best at this style of animation and she has put up a bunch of free tutorials. You can find them with a quick Google search. This is one of my favorites. It shows you how to tie all of the body parts to a single control layer so that you can simplify the animation procedure and speed up your workflow. You should also check out her blog.

Sync workflow between MacBook Air and another Mac

I'm curious how people with two Macs keep their MacBook Air and other Mac in sync with each other. For example, how do you keep Address Book, iCal, and the word processing documents in sync so that you don't end up with multiple versions across two computers or the wrong data.

I don't know if the way I do it is the most efficient way, as I posted a similar question here once and didn't get replies. For regular files / documents, I put my MBA on the desk next to MBPro and enable "file sharing" on both computers, then with the Air I click on the shared computer name listed in the Finder, in my case lt lists Mac Book Pro and then all the files from the Pro ore shown on my Air and I can just drag and drop onto my Air desktop. Once I click out of the shared computer, I then drag that file to wherever I want it.
As far as ICal and contacts, the way I have been doing it is to keep my IPod Touch and the MBPro syncd together with all the iTunes junk and also my calendars and contacts and then at the end of the day I sync those two and then plug the Touch into the Air and it also keeps it updated on calendars and contacts. I would like to learn an easier more direct way but I don't want to buy 3rd party software of mess with .Mac

Is Dreamweaver the best web design software to learn for an aspiring web designer?

Hi Everyone,
Perhaps difficult to get an unbiased answer to this in a
Dreamweaver forum but I'm sure most of you considered other web
development software before you went with Dreamweaver. Of course
the answer is not as straight forward as just choosing one piece of
software over another. I understand that there isn't really one
piece of software that ticks every box for the web designer. What I
mean is that there isn't one standalone piece of software that's
best for web design (HTML, CSS etc.), graphics and animation etc.
and that's why we have things such as Adobe Creative Suite. Anyway,
sticking to web design and development in the Dreamweaver sense,
would I be correct to advise someone who wants to work in the field
of web design to use Dreamweaver as their main tool? Particularly,
I would be interested to know if Dreamweaver really is the industry
standard as it's important to consider future job prospects.
I hope you understand what I'm asking.
Thanks, in anticipation for your help.
P.S. Has anyone heard of Enterprise Works?

LOL... sure!

Flash and SEO for Ecommerce Web Design

Hi
I am working with a web design company in the UK and was wondering if there are any indications of when Flash could be recognised by Google?
This is a major issue as the design features are fantastic but SEO is a nightmare.
I would love to introduce it within our ecommerce web design solutions, but only when the issue is resolved.
Message was edited by host to remove links

In SEO terms, content is king. Basically, if you have no HTML headings and text on your web pages, there's nothing much for search engines to grab onto. No content = no traffic.
Flash is invisible to SEs, translators, screen readers, iPhones/iPads, and many other web devices. To support the widest possible audience, you might want to re-think your need for Flash and switch to HTML. Almost anything you can do with Flash can be done reasonably well with jQuery (JavaScript) http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle/
Your other option is SWF Object Replacement along with HTML equivalents for SEs and devices that don't support Flash.
