Webuquerque recently hosted Web Workflows in Adobe CS4, presented by Jason Nakai.
We had approximately 15 attendees, including several new faces. If you weren't able to join us, we've got you covered.
Recap
Jason talked about some of the new features and interface changes in Adobe CS4 (Photoshop, Illustrator, Fireworks, Flash and Dreamweaver) that can help make your workflows more efficient, including:
- Switching back–and–forth between applications
- Application bar is consistent across applications
- Photoshop's support of GPU and OpenGL, which enable "flick panning," smooth zooming and more
- Changes in Illustrator's gradient and appearance panels
- Kuler support in Fireworks and Illustrator
- Importing Illustrator artboards into Fireworks
- Motion tweening changes in Flash
- Changes to split-code view in Dreamweaver
Almost Like You Were There
For all those folks who weren't able to join us, we have everything to make you feel like you were there (almost).

Six Months In & We're Going Strong!
It has been six months since we started Webuquerque and, while we are still working out kinks associated with sound and our location, it has been an overwhelming success. And we have the community to thank for that.
We will be putting together a survey soon to help us plan for next year, and we are looking into new venues (with better sound and video/presentation equipment). But, in the meantime, don't hesitate to let us know how we can improve Webuquerque for you.
See you in July!
