Impressions of the Panasonic HPX-171
Just spent most of the last week shooting with Panasonic's HPX-171. For those unfamiliar with the Panasonic camera range the HPX-171 is the European model, the equivalent of the US model, the HPX-170. This camera shoots DVCPro HD, or standard definition DVCPro, or DV to P2 card. There is no tape drive on the camera, therefore the only option is to record to card. For those want the ability to record to tape, Panasonic also offer the HVX-201A.
Dreamweaver CS3 Review
Innovative new features and Photoshop integration fortify this upgrade to Dreamweaver
Dreamweaver CS3 is the first version of the Web-design program to appear with the Adobe name; it’s also the first version to run natively on Intel Macs. Running on an Intel Mac, Dreamweaver CS3 is more responsive than Dreamweaver 8 running on Rosetta: startup time is faster; typing feels quicker; and sitewide operations, such as updating templates and broken links, are speedier.
For example, updating a template in Dreamweaver CS3 on our 2.66GHz dual-core Xeon Mac Pro took just under a minute, as opposed to nearly four minutes in Dreamweaver 8. In another test, we relocated a site file in Dreamweaver, a process that necessitated changes to the site’s page links. It took Dreamweaver CS3 just 11 seconds to change all the links on our 350-page Web site, compared with 43 seconds for Dreamweaver 8.
The Long and Winding Road
Full integration of Dreamweaver into the Adobe pantheon of creative programs will take time. Unlike Flash CS3, which has adopted the Adobe look-and-feel, Dreamweaver CS3 has the same user interface as Dreamweaver 8 (this may be welcome news for longtime users accustomed to the Macromedia style).
However, Dreamweaver CS3 does provide helpful integration with Photoshop, offering a streamlined workflow for getting images from Photoshop into Dreamweaver. You can copy all or part of a layered or sliced Photoshop (PSD) document and paste it directly into a Dreamweaver page. You can even drag a Photoshop document from your desktop, Bridge, or the Dreamweaver Files panel onto an open Dreamweaver page. A new image-optimization window lets you apply compression settings and save a file into your site; the optimized image then appears on the Web page.
