As you already know, Macromedia Dreamweaver is a great tool for designing and building web pages. You may not be aware of the new image editing features that have been integrated into the latest release. In the past, if you needed to make a simple image edit, you had to switch to Macromedia Fireworks, edit the image, and then return to Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver would update your pages with the changes you made to the image, but the process of switching back and forth between the two applications was sometimes inconvenient.

Now, with the new image editing features in Dreamweaver MX 2004, you can perform basic image editing operations on images without using an external image-editing application such as Macromedia Fireworks. In fact, you can still use these features, even if you haven't installed Fireworks.

This article covers just a small portion of the Dreamweaver MX 2004: Website Development instructor-led course. If you like what you see and want to get the full experience, find a Macromedia Authorized Training Partner near you. Only at a Macromedia Authorized Training location will you learn from instructors thoroughly trained and certified by Macromedia. You can learn more in a few days with a certified instructor trainer than you can learn in a year with a book. Get the skills you need to get ahead— Macromedia Training and Certification.
