Online free alternative for some of adobe product?

Question

hey guys I'm a web developer, i have Dreamweaver and photoshop, java applets,python, kompozer codebloks...
I was looking for an online free alternative for adobe flash builder and adobe framemaker because yesterday I have formatted the pc and bought a new hard drive, I don't wanna make the same mistake, I don't wanna install a lot of big softwares on the pc, i don't use flash builder a lot unless my costumers ask for it, and I create navbars using photoshop but it would be nice if I can find a site that works just like framemaker.
And by the way, is there any adobe tool (or other) that I might need in the future which exists online for free?

Answer 1

It won't be internet based but what i have found that works is to get an external hard drive and install the programs you don't use a lot on it. Then when you do need them plug in the HD and your good to go.

The only alternative for Flash I can think of is Synfig which I generally do not recommend period -- but some of Red Hat's and Mozilla Foundation's videos are made with it so you can look at it at:

It's buggy, the vectorr drawing package has a worse implementation than Illustrator's (which I find abominably complex having learned on Freehand and I STRONGLY prefer Inkscape) and it is more JUST for animation.



For editing and so forth, as a Linux user I will recommend Avidemux:

Mplayer is command line oriented but like Avidemux available regardless of your platform and also quite excellent. In fact if you understand the file formats Mplayer is not only better than Avidemux but than many commercial gui programs -- the only thing is you need a LOT of technical knowledge and it is a command line program. There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch:

As far as framemaker goes I have no idea. Illustrator and Inkscape both make wonderful logos which you can convert with mplayer or ImageMagick if you know what you are doing.

c'mon, use your head, PS5 the latest version is the worlds maximum useful imaging enhancing software to ever exist. the failings it may do, the workflow, the skill for it to artwork with different classes and prefer makes it a lot. Gimp and different loose classes are like evaluating a sheet to a mattress. somewhat oftentimes there are third occasion plug-ins that are greater advantageous at one particular job for Photoshop, issues like HDR and noise relief incorporates innovations, yet those themselves nevertheless fee 60 to countless hundred money. seem at this way, Photoshop can conveniently artwork with sixteen bit pictures, artwork with uncooked pictures, artwork in techniques that the creators of gimp in simple terms can't be certain the way it particularly is achieved. in case you surpassed gimp a Mosiac (mos) image, it could have it particularly is version of the blue exhibit screen of death. Your the two a expert or not, Gimp is childs play in comparison to the skill of Photoshop. Whomever informed you it particularly is as stable as Photoshop hasn't the slightest thought of what photoshop is.
