Synopses & Reviews
In one big, easy-to-use book, Sams Teach Yourself Adobe Creative Suite 4 All in One brings together all the answers beginning users need to succeed with Adobe's flagship Web development and graphic design products. Unlike some competitive books, this one recognizes that you don't want to learn only one product: you want to draw on tools from the entire suite to handle real projects and solve real problems. Thoroughly updated for the new Adobe Creative Suite 4, this book offers thorough, step-by-step coverage of the new versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat, InDesign, Flash, and Dreamweaver. It also shows you how to take full advantage of the rich integration features Adobe has built into each Creative Suite application. You will gain real-world mastery through a series of professionally developed projects that illustrate each lesson: projects covering both print and Web assignments. This edition's fresh, full-color, wide-trim design makes it even more visually appealing, and its new layout and organization makes its content even easier to understand and use.
