Preview Release of New Responsive Web Design Tool Headlines Advancements in Web
Design and Development
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE) today announced the first public
preview of Adobe Edge Reflow, a new responsive design tool for Web designers and
developers creating websites and content for screens of virtually all sizes. In
addition, the company released new feature updates for Adobe Edge Animate, Adobe
Dreamweaver and Adobe Edge Code preview. All today`s announced product releases
are available exclusively to Adobe Creative Cloud members. 

Adobe Edge Reflow is a new responsive Web design tool for creating layout and
visual designs with CSS and is available immediately as a preview at no charge
in Creative Cloud. Edge Reflow features an intuitive resizable design surface
that shows how layouts and visuals will adapt to different screen sizes.
Leveraging the power of CSS, Edge Reflow enables users to create high fidelity
Web designs on the application`s native Web surface. It maintains the design
vision, through development, by allowing users to preview in the browser,
inspect their design in real-time via Edge Inspect extension, and extract the
CSS for use in Edge Code, Dreamweaver or any code editor. During the preview
period, Adobe is actively seeking user feedback for Edge Reflow in order to help
evolve the product. Users are encouraged to submit their feedback to Adobe
through Github at https://github.com/edge-reflow/issues. 

Adobe also announced important updates to Adobe Edge Animate to give it powerful
new CSS-based features, including gradients, CSS filters, and enhanced font
support. Users will now be able to style and animate elements using radial or
linear gradients, and preview Edge Web Fonts* live in a new interface. New CSS
filter support for Edge Animate allows users to take advantage of exciting CSS
capabilities found in modern WebKit browsers, including blur, greyscale, sepia,
brightness, contrast, hue-rotate, invert and saturate filters. Previously,
filter effects could only be achieved using tools like Adobe Photoshop. 

In addition, Adobe delivered an update to Adobe Dreamweaver exclusively for
Creative Cloud members that improves interoperability with the Adobe Edge Tools
& Services family and includes several new features to enhance code authoring
ability and workflow. Fluid grid layout, a feature first introduced with Adobe
Dreamweaver CS6, now allows developers to leverage class tags in addition to ID
tags and features a new editing interface. Developers can also now easily
preview, select and incorporate Edge Web Fonts into their Dreamweaver projects. 

This preview release of Adobe Edge Code includes features such as Live
Development, which allows users to see changes in the browser immediately as
they make code edits, and also Quick Edit, which lets users edit code in context
instead of switching between files. This latest update adds code hinting for CSS
properties and HTML tags and attributes, making this release an even more
productive code editor for web designers and developers working with Web
standards.
