Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0

Advantages: Great selection tools, pan & zoom in slide shows, price, printed manual
Disadvantages: file browser gone

...Adobe Photoshop Elements 4 aims to be everything the photographer wants for tweaking and fixing their images. Whilst the professionals prefer its more expensive big brother Photoshop CS, Photoshop Elements isn't to be sniffed at and offers 80% of the power for 10% of the price whilst making many tasks much easier. The biggest surprise coming from version 3 is that the file browser has gone. Adobe, what are you thinking? Well, it's clear what they're thinking, they want you to use the Photoshop Album interface which merged in to Photoshop Elements with version 3. It's actually a very powerful interface and lets you import and catalogue your images with ease and flexibility but sometimes, you just want to get down and dirty with the file system and the loss of a file browser hurts. As a sort of apology, Adobe have added the ability to...

Adobe Dreamweaver - fantastic bit of software!

Advantages: easy to use, code hinting, loads of useful features
Disadvantages: sometimes is a bit tempremental

...Adobe Dreamweaver is one of the best web design programs of all time, or at least that's what I think. I started using Dreamweaver as the designer of my site, never venturing into the code side of things. Dreamweaver is great when it comes to this, the new CS4 interface makes everything so much easier to get to. It is so simple that you can have a table based template set up in no time! However, when I started looking into making my site a little better and nicer looking, I came accross CSS. When I started using this coding language, I knew nothing about it, however when I opened up a blank CSS document, I noticed that when I typed I got suggestions of what could be put in. Using this I gradually learned CSS through code hinting, that is how great it is. Another great thing with Dreamweaver is the ease of setting up a connection to...

Review of Adobe Creative Suite 3.3 Design Standard

Adobe Acrobat 4.0

Advantages: Cross platform, web and hyperlink compatible, extremely flexible document and page view tool
Disadvantages: None

...the earlier years (one of the most successful software developers of all time!) invented tools for a species of computer users that was dependent on sharing information about pieces of work: the desktop publishers, graphic designers and advertising agencies. Anything involved in a creation process that needs to be agreed upon, cries for constant communication about content, layout and format. Brochures, flyers, hand-out?s, presentations, posters and many other creative information carriers are developed at a variety of different software packages, running on all sorts of platforms that are barely compatible in even the simplest functions. As the most trusted solution provider in tools and packages, Adobe took over the challenge and provided a surprisingly simple but highly effective standard for cross-platform and cross-format document exchange...

Adobe, the creative persons personality pallete

Advantages: Brilliant facilities allowing scope for maximum creativity, User friendly, Brilliant Online Support Network, Beautifully sharp images (fantastic for making youself thinner, browner, or giving yourself a different hair colour)
Disadvantages: Can take a iittle while to get used to, Takes a while to load up

..., the perfect screensaver, the perfect poster , or anything, personally designed to suit your tastes. In this review I will go through the immesnse capabilities of this program, and attempt to describe the beautiful effects that can be created. * The Review * I have the version Adobe Photoshop 5.5 , which I think, for the general consumer is the best one. I have used more updated ones, and have found them much more complicated, and therefore much more unusuable than the version that I have ie more unusable for the basic consumer. I also think that corel draw is the same. Corel draw is very complicated in my opinion, and theyre manual is abosoloutley rubbish. My aunty ( a lady who I had stayed with for over a month) had Corel Draw, and I really really struggled with the manual while I was there,as well as the menus and options available...

Creative Muvo2 4GB. Ipod anyone?

Advantages: Small, light and has a blue backscreen.
Disadvantages: Hard to navigate songs, doesn't come with remote, battery life.

...In the world of portable MP3 players we once had only a small choice of players, and they had only a few sizes available. 32MB, 64MB, 128MB or 256MB. They may or may not have upgradable functions and they costed a mint. But now we have bigger and better MP3 players such as the Creative Muvo2 4GB with 4,000MB storage. No need for upgrades anymore, there's more than enough space for a few albums and a documentary on fish fingers. Yes this Muvo2 has the capacity and it is small, smaller than it's rival the IPOD Mini in fact and lighter too. It can play WMA files as well as MP3 files and has a very nice neon electric blue backlight for it's screen. The Muvo2 comes with 2 USB2 cables (1 long 1 short) so that songs can be transferred from PC to the player. Since it is USB2 the speed of transfer is very very fast. Before you would make...

Creative's pride the new Creative Zen

Advantages: Excellent audio, loads of features, price
Disadvantages: A bit sloppy video

...the appearnce with fingerprint impressions. Rating for this section: 8/10. FEATURES: It has got loads of excellent feature, and surprisingly most of them work with very little fuss. Creative Zen is a flash based player and has 2.5? screen boasting of a full size SD card slot. It is available in 4, 8 16 and 32 GB memory option with very little variation in the price tag. It?s eyeing at 5G iPods and has better color support. Infact Creative Zen supports 16.7 million colors althought technically or statistically a mssive achievement but hardly improves the video quality. The FM radio band functions quite well and the voice recoder is a big plus. The creative DJ features is great. Rating for this section 9/10. TECHNICAL FEATURES: *Bluetooth: No *Built-In Microphone: Yes *Built-In Radio: Yes *Digital Audio...

Review of Creative ZEN

Creative Muvo2 4GB

Advantages: Very small, easy interface, great sound quality
Disadvantages: Occassionally crashes, small screen

...Having researched a variety of portable MP3 players i decided to purchase the Creative NOMAD MUVO2. It cost £146 and comes with a 4GB mini hard drive that can store approx 1000 MP3s. Although i made my purchase through ebay you can pick the muvo2 up for anything between £175 - 230 in retail outlets and from the web. First impressions count for a lot as far as i am concerned and i wasn't dissapointed. The muvo2 is very small (about the size of a pack of 20 cigarettes) so it is easy to carry in your pocket without noticing it. It is available in 2 colours, black or silver (silver looks the better). So why did i go for the muvo2? Well, firstly, its made by Creative who are renound for producing quality audio equipment, secondly, the size and thirdly the price. As with most electrical equipment there are always disadvantages...

Embassy Suites

Advantages: Good service, and amenities
Disadvantages: A long way from anything

...Embassy Suites On a recent visit to California, I was booked into this hotel because it was close to places I had to visit for work. The hotel itself is only a short drive from the airport (it took about half an hour in a hire car, and not knowing where I was going) and is located in La Jolla which is apparently quite an affluent area, featuring banks and houses and hotels as well as restaurants and a rather nice shopping mall. It's easy to drive into the hotel and should you ask for it there is valet parking in the high rise car park, but I just parked round the back of the hotel. Once inside the hotel, check in was quick and efficient and I was immediately impressed with the well set out entrance lobby featuring some nice little touches such as plentiful flowers. The reception desk is large and well staffed and also in...
