What tool to use from my toolbox (which app from CS5, when?)

Hello,
OK I've used Photoshop for years, and PageMaker/InDesign for a good while. But now I have CS5.
Now, instead of sticking to our approach of literature, posters and basic web site, I'm getting excited after watching some Max and adobe.tv videos, and I'd like to start pushing the envelope with interactive .pdfs, a better, more dynamic web site, and whatever else I can do to add some excitement to this joint - in print and online.
Problem is, I'm not sure which tool works best, where. Can anyone list (or point me to a link) that gives a good basic explanation of which each program in CS5 is best used for? (I have Design Premium). One video indicated that Flash Catalyst was good for nav. buttons (which does look alot easier than the Photoshop-created buttons I made); and of course a Terry White presentation showed some other great uses for Catalyst.
Another section of video indicated that Fireworks was good for web design (although I've been using DreamWeaver for that)...so a good list would help alot as I try to learn these applications.
Thanks!

First piece of advice...don't use Flash for sake of using Flash. Websites need to be clean and easy to navigate and having buttons jumping all over the place gets old in a hurry. There are plenty of methods for making a site interesting without using Flash (yeah, I know that's heresy).
InDesign does a great job of creating interactive PDFs.
I suggest visiting the various product forums and searching for answers there.

  • I am wondering what tools were used in the "Body Evolution" video

    Hi,
    I am wondering what the names of the tools that were used in the "Body Evolution" video? I know somw of them, but I don't know what tools they used for the eyes, nose and to stretch the legs.
    Thank you!

    Station Two,
    I am not in the habbit of, nor do I ever plan to be in the habbit of, photoshopping things to death for the pupose of making it "picture perfect."
    I have always been a person that loves to know how. I may never use it, I just like to know how. Take a look at my work:
    https://www.facebook.com/BenjaminRootPhotography
    I definitely know it wasn't meant to be a tutorial, and personally, I think it's sick when someone photoshops a person like that.
    Like I said before, it all just looked different to me and I wondered what they used.
    I mainly use Photoshop to correct lighting, or to put someone on a different background, or to add a little color to something, or corect some minor things that they request; but a bove all, I alway try to make it look realistic and like the person.

  • Whats the Actual use of the Setup table apart from the Full/Init  loads

    Hi  guru's
      could u explain  whats the Actual use of the Setup table apart from the Full/Init  loads  in Lo Extraction

    Hello Guru,
    The Setup table is used mainly for storing the Historical data whereas the new and changed records will be maintained in the Update table.
    By storing the Historical data in the setup table you don't need to disturb the Application table anymore.
    Please go through the following blogs

  • What is the use of ntfs mac x app ?

    what is the use of ntfs mac x app ? i have a seagate backup plus slim and how to use with it ?
    please help ..
    thanks in advance

    NTFS is a Microsoft proprietary file system. A Mac can read from an NTFS formatted drive but cannot write to it. The type of app you refer to allows writing to such a drive and could be useful if you had a drive that for some reason must be in the NTFS format. If your drive is formatted as NTFS and you want to use it only on a Mac you could reformat it to MAC OS Extended as detailed in the following link (you can ignore the references to Aperture). http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3509
    If you need to read and write to the drive from both a Mac and Windows computer FAT 32 is an option.
    It is hard to provide the best advice for your situation without knowing more about how you intend to use the drive. Also, note that formatting will erase any data currently on that drive.

  • What is the easiest & quickiest way to delete apps from an iPad?

    What is the easiest & quickiest way to delete apps from an iPad?

    You can delete apps directly on the iPad by pressing and holding any of the apps and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the left corner to delete the ones that you don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking (you can't delete any of the Apple built-in apps). If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'
    Or you can connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and then use the Apps tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to remove the apps that you no longer want on the iPad

  • What tool is used to open and read UCS tech support files

    Hello,
    Due to internal Infosec policies, I need to open and read UCS tech supoort files that I generate prior to sending them to Cisco TAC. Can someone tell me what tool I can use to accomplish this task? Thanks.

    Good to hear.
    Are you intending to blank out all the proprietary info?  IPs, Hostnames etc? 
    Suggest an advanced editor such as ultraEdit which can find and replace any private information.

  • What tools to use developing JAX-WS for AS 10.1.3

    Hello,
    now I use JDeveloper 10.1.3, but I see it lacks some features (for example, I'd like to see JAX-WS development support).
    I develop applications for Application Server 10.1.3 (as this is the latest stable version too), but I'd like to use JAX-WS there. as this is the latest technology.
    I know, i can deploy JAX-WS for 10.1.3.4 with some efforts.
    But what is the best tool to use for development? JDev 10.1.3 - a lot of "coding by hand", Jdev 11 TP4 - maybe, not stable, and how to test - with JDev 11 TP4 embedded OC4J? And then try to deploy to AS 10.1.3? Or, maybe, better to use other IDE, that supports JAX-WS? At the end, I need to deploy to AS 10.1.3.4.... Any ideas?

    Hi,
    JAX-WS requires a Java EE runtime environment, and AS 10.1.3 has a Java EE 1.4 runtime environment, which means that JAX-WS wont run here. JDeveloper 11, though in Technology Preview" allows you to build JAXWS web services. However, the deployment still requirs Java EE 1.5

  • What tools were used to make this cartoon picture?

    I want to make a picture like these ones, but i dont know which tools to use. it seems they didnt use the pen tool at all, and i cant quite figure out how they did all the shadows and highlights. its seems they used the brush, but when i use the brush tool, i dont get the same clean results. any advice? any good tutorials that could help?
    Thanks in advance

    Adobe Illustrator is probably the best tool to do something like this.  It's made by drawing a lot of shapes on a lot of layers.  You can do this with the pen/brush tool in Flash, but they really aren't the best for drawing.  Check out tv.adobe.com for some videos on Illustrator.

  • Can Java 1.5 diag tools be used with 1.4.2 apps?

    There are some slick debug tools now in Java 1.5... Anyone know if they can be used with 1.4.2 applications? Chris

    Thanks... what I was thinking about was that since 1.4.2 VM supports the Java Debugging Protocol, then maybe the tools that use that protocol might work when the app is running in a 1.4.2 JVM (which is the case at our customers right now).

  • I used the Free Flashlight O app from iHandy and cannot turn the light off. iPhone 4s, iOS 6.

    I used the Free Flashlight app from iHandy and cannot turn the light off.
    iPhone 4s, iOS 6.
    I've tried everything: Power Down, Reboot, delete to uninstall and reinstall app, turn off in tray, etc.
    Nothing works.

    I cannot see your screen shots for some reason, but here's a suggestion:
    Open iTunes on your computer, look at your playlists there.  Go to your "Voice Memos" playlist, delete all its contents, and then sync your iPhone to iTunes.

  • Migration: Can I use Time Machine to move apps from MacBookPro to MacPro?

    I've outgrown my laptop and have "graduated" to a MacPro <insert big smile>. I know I can use Time Machine to bring everything from an old laptop to a new one, but can I do the same to bring files from the laptop to the MacPro?
    Sure would be lot easier than re-installing everything.
    I have the original discs for all the important stuff, but wondered if I could bring over those myriad apps that I've downloaded.
    The laptop is being "retired" - the screen is getting darker and darker - soon will be unusable...

    The first time you boot your new Mac is the best time to migrate everything in "Setup Assistant".
    If it's not the first boot, funny things happen. For just the applications I'd use Migration Manager to get them from the TM disk, or from your connected laptop. Since you've already booted up I wouldn't try to migrate in your Home folder that way.
    For your own data you can drag to copy, or for application support data here's a user tip for that.
