What graphics/photo editing software do you use with dreamweaver?

I just purchased Dreamweaver CS5 a few days ago.
I'm using the demo version of Fireworks CS5 and have played around a bit with the demo version of photoshop element 8.
I'm wondering if I would be able to do everything with photoshop CS5 that I'm able to do in Fireworks CS5 and photoshop elements.
Guess I could ask this question in the photoshop forum, but I really wanted to hear from developers and designers that use dreamweaver too.
What would you suggest to use for a graphics/photo editing program.
Thanks,
jp

Thanks for the input so far.
Here is my thinking. I have used free html editors for years. Mostly first page from http://www.evrsoft.com/.
Then I decided to try the demo of dreamweaver after reading about the new integrated CMS support.
After just a couple weeks of using dreamweaver I purchased it. I like dreamweaver much better then the free editors I have used over the years.
So onto graphics/photo editing software. I have also used simple and free photo editing programs over the years. I have decided to try and learn not only more code, but also try to gain some graphic skills.
Most of what I would be doing would be graphics for the web, but I also need some kind of photo editing tools.
So do I buy just fireworks CS5 and use it for not only graphics, but to also edit photos.
Do I purchase both Fireworks and photoshop elements 9 or should I spend a little more and go with photoshop CS5.
Is photoshop CS5 more stable then fireworks or photoshop elements?
I'm running windows 64 bit system with a i3 and 4 gig of ram with duel monitors.
Thanks for your input.

  • What photo editing software is everyone using and why?

    I am trying to find a good photo editing software to use and before spending any money on it would like to hear everyones opinion on what they use and why? Originally I intended on purchasing aperture ... but I am under the impression that aperture is being discontinued so now I am searching again ... thanks for everyones input in advance....

    If after trying out iPhoto's editing capabilities for a while you find you want more capability give Adobe Photoshop Elements for Mac a try.  It's reasonably priced and can do about 75% or so of what the full Photoshop can do like these:
    There's a free, open source application that's a lot like the full Photoshop: GIMP for Mac.  Another full featured editor along these same lines is Pixelmator.
    Some Image Editors That Support layers:
    Photoshop Elements 11 for Mac - $79
    Pixelmator - $60
    GIMP for Mac - Free
    So there are a lot of choices out there to investigate.

  • What DVD to iPod software are you using?

    I know this topic has probably been beat to death, but I'm just curious. BTW, I did a search for my questions as well!
    I've tried PQ DVD to iPod and Super DVD to iPod and they both have + and - about them. It seems like the PQ software is a little easier to use and you can actually control the DVD where with the Super software you can't. The Super doesn't have the progress bar like the PQ one and I find that very helpfull! Also with the PQ one you can actually control the DVD menu through this software and can crop the DVD. I did find that the Super one had a better picture without changing any settings. That seems like the determing factor for me. I did change some of the setting on the PQ one and it really didn't get any better. If someone could help me with these settings, it would definately make my decision easier. Basically I like the PQ one better if I could only get better resolution. Sometimes it just isn't all that clear as far as the pixels are concerned or maybe I'm just asking for too much with this iPod?
    I'm ready to buy some type of DVD to iPod software so what exactly do I have to change to get the resolution better on each software?
    Thanks!

    No I haven't tried those and I'm sure there are many different ways to go about it. I'm really not interested in trying alot of different softwares, I would just rather find one and stick to it and learn as much as I can about how to use it. I'm going to convert a few more DVD's and see if I have the same problems with the pixels. I currently have two different comedian DVD's installed in my 60gb with the same software, one looks very good and the other is where you can see the pixels in the backround. It may just be the backround on the stage he is on because I don't have that problem with the other DVD. It may also be the DVD I'm sure.

  • What is the best video format to use with Dreamweaver CS5.5

    My client has asked what format to convert their video to before sending it to me to be placed on their homepage. I'm using DreamWeaver CS5.5 with an HTML5 template - trying to steer clear of Flash for this new site. On other sites, I embed videos from their hosting site (YouTube, SchoolTube, etc).
    My question to the forum is what is the best way (and prefered format) now days to insert a video onto a webpage using DreamWeaver CS5.5 and HTML5. I have the Adobe Web Premium package.

    In the chapter on video in Dive Into HTML5 it says this:
    There is no single combination of containers and codecs that works in all HTML5 browsers.
    This is not likely to change in the near future.
    To make your video watchable across all of these devices and platforms, you’re going to need to encode your video more than once.
    And a suggested workflow:
    For maximum compatibility, here’s what your video workflow will look like: 
    Make one version that uses WebM (VP8 + Vorbis).
    Make another version that uses H.264 baseline video and AAC “low complexity” audio in an MP4 container.
    Make another version that uses Theora video and Vorbis audio in an Ogg container.
    Link to all three video files from a single <video> element, and fall back to a Flash-based video player.
    I think that your starting point is to consider your target audience.

  • Which Photo Editing Software?

    Hey guys first post here...Im looking to buy some photo editing software for personal use and could use some help in choosing the right one.
    Im not sure wether to go with PSE, Photoshop, Lightroom etc (other options?). I may get more serious down the road but for now all Im looking for is basic functionality, layering, color swaps, artistic effects and all the basic touch up stuff.
    My price range is around $150.
    Any feedback is appreciated, thanks.

    Lightroom doesn't do most of those things, and the full Photoshop CS5 is out of your price range, so give PSE a try. Download the 30 day free trial from Adobe and see what you think.

  • I currently have iPhoto on my new 27" 17, iMac. What is the best photo editing software. I have photo shop elements on my previous mac which I liked many features.

    I currently have an imac 27", i7.  I have iphoto on this computer. What is the best photo editing software to purchase or download?
    On my previouw mac I had Photo Shop Elenemts and Photoshop CS3. Both of the later had features that I liked.
       I am an amatuer family photographer; What is the best photo editing software. I do not think I need the power and confusion of full version photoshop.

    I take it you are looking for replacements for the apps you used on a previous Mac?
    I do not have Photoshop Elements, so I do not know about compatibility. But this site will tell you:
    http://roaringapps.com
    Photoshop CS3 does run in OS 10.9.1. (I use it just about everyday.) You do not have to give it up.
    And there is Gimp, which is free and powerful.

  • With SO MUCH photo editing software available, what would be the best for me if I am a digital camera newby? I do not need Photoshop CC! I do not want to spend $700 bucks! My camera is a Nikon D90. Please help.

    With SO MUCH photo editing software available, what would be the best for me if I am a digital camera newby? I do not need Photoshop CC! I do not want to spend $700 bucks! My camera is a Nikon D90. Please help.

    Where did you come up with the $700 figure?
    Photography plan - $9.99/month or $119/year - Creative Cloud Photography plan : Adobe Creative Cloud
    Single App - $19.99/month
    Complete plan - $49.99/month or $599/yr - Creative Cloud free trial & plans : Adobe Creative Cloud
    Ah - If you wish to cancel early yeah $74.99 which would total for the year at $899.88. But that final total would be if you canceled in the 12th month but if you plan on keeping it that long might as well go for the annual contract. Then cancel at the end of the term limit if you need to.
    If you are not sure what to get, Either Elements as was suggested by Peru Bob or the photography plan.

  • Ibook and what photo editing software?

    I am ready to purchase my new digital camera this weekend. I don't have any photo editing software on my ibook as of yet. I know CS3 will work fine on my ibook. Does anyone have CS3 on their ibook/powerbook, and how does it do? Thanks!

    spag,
    Well if you use CS3 it comes bundled w/ Photoshop Bridge which I find to be just fine for my needs.
    My clients that are pro photographers use either Light Room or Photo Mechanic but they shoot in RAW format. One who was just in India had just switched to PM and was rhapsodic about the speed and all the things you could do in that program.

  • Photo editing software using Flash Lite

    Hi all, I had been searching for an answer to this question
    for quite some time and did not find any. Please help. Is it
    possible to create a photo editing software using Flash Lite for
    Nokia devices? Am expecting features such as brightness, contrast,
    cropping, save and load function, etc... I am not expecting to
    create it myself, but outsourcing the development.
    If you know of any good development house, please let me
    know.

    I've used GIMP for years, which is a powerful photo editing program.

  • What is a good video editing software I can use on my MacBook Pro?

    What is a good video editing software I can use on my MacBook Pro?
    *also, It would be great if I could edit multi-channel audio on the software
    Any suggestions?

    probably THE best software is Avid Media Composer. It's an industry standard for Feature Films, Television programs and commercials.
    Professional editors and producers around the world have told them what the software needs to succeed.
    -More efficient and easy-to-use video editing tools. An open platform that enables you to work with everything you want and integrate into any workflow. More power to eliminate bottlenecks, so you can work faster than ever.
    -Create 5.1 and 7.1 surround mixes directly within Media Composer, or import from Pro Tools (watch the video)
    I own this NLE and it truly is the best out of all of the editing programs I've used.
    ** It's quite expensive though. But worth it if you want the best!
    ~$2,499.00
    Another option would be Final Cut Pro. The little brother of Avid MC. I have Final Cut Pro X and I am very disappointed with it. It’s not an update of the existing Final Cut, which is one of the most popular programs; it’s completely new and radically redesigned. It looks different, its strengths are different — "and after one day of using it, many professional video editors are running through the streets with pitchforks."
    Final Cut Pro X Review - NY Times
    ** It's a good starting program if you just doing editing that isn't quite as demanding as feature films, TV programs and commercials. Many editors have been moving away from FCP after the release of the current version. However, It is a lot less expensive than Avid MC  
    ~$299.99
    Personally, having both Media Composer and Final Cut Pro X, I would go for Media Composer if it's in your budget. Definitely worth the price!

  • I'm looking for photo editing software

    I am looking for photo editing software that is fairly easy to learn and I also want the feature of adding a splash of color to a black & white photo.  I've seen there is Photoshope Elements and there is Lightroom.  What is recommended?

    For editing an Image, as you describe, Photoshop Elements would be my choice.
    There is also a very helpful, and active Ps Elements Forum, where you will find easy instructions on doing what you describe, plus much more. Should you go with Ps Elements, that forum is: http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop_elements
    In general, if you have a Grayscale Image (B/W), just change the Color Mode to RGB, create a New Layer, and paint in the color that you want. However, since I do not use Ps Elements, there might be some extra things, that will help you get the desired results, and that Ps Elements Forum will be great at helping you.
    Good luck,

  • Free photo editing software for Macs & PCs?

    Hi folks!
    I am looking for a free photo editing software to use for an upcoming class. I have a MacBook at home, but I will be teaching in a classroom equipped with PCs. I was hoping to find a free software that students could practice on in class and then download free for use at home afterward.
    Have been trying to download Gimp 2.8.2, but I can't get it to install on my Mac OS 10.6.8 - It downloads but will not start.
    Please let me know any suggestions.
    Thanks in advance!

    i guess i want something where you can directly play with the images...cut out a section of the picture.....replace it with something else (like add icon/pictures over top of it)
    also, the ability to paint colors over the picture and alter them in other ways, not just image quality or resizing it...
    if there are no free programs for this, what are some cheap ones?
    i looked at the programs that have been posted alreaedy, and i don't think that they are really what im looking for...
    thank you!
