Bottom line, the actions of Adobe with CS2 (principally GoLive, since I rely on it so much) have robbed me of much of the joy that is my right as a Mac user. It replaced Adobe PageMill as Adobes primary HTML editor and. My distaste for Adobe is so great because of their crap with CS2 - from the activation problems to not recognizing an upgrade of Photoshop (stand alone) when coming from the full suite set - that I would willingly jump ship to just about any other product - but opps! There are almost no other products anymore, since no company can stand against Photoshop, Illustrator, and so on (not even Macromedia). Adobe GoLive was a WYSIWYG HTML editor and web site management application from Adobe Systems. Sadly, the only thing to do is go to Dreamweaver.but that's not an option for me since its interface is not something I'm willing to use. Bottom line, Adobe does not deserve your money for this application, which they clearly dislike within the company (when you make a bug report, it's interesting to note that it's called GoLive, not Adobe GoLive). ![]() GoLive CS2 crashes regularly for me several times a day, and has even managed to crash WHILE SAVING A VERY IMPORTANT FILE, which wiped out an entire day's work for me, causing me to redo it all. I want to warn you about GoLive - it is the most frustrating, least reliable, most crash-prone app I have used since switching to OS X. at the end of the day real web designers hand-code anyway! The Mac OS X version was a universal binary, allowing it to run natively on Intel-based Macs. i'm sure both do what they do equally as well and you should use whichever one you feel most comfortable with. Adobe GoLive 9 (code named 'Vicious') was the last major version of the GoLive graphical HTML and CSS editors to be released by Adobe Systems in June 2007. Whatever the differences between the latest iterations of these two old war-horses, it hardly matters. it just happens to be slightly less spaghetti-like than the code generated by golive! the online registration software provided with Adobe GoLive CS software to. dreamweaver still generates horrible code spaghetti and takes about a hundred lines of said electronic pasta to do what you can hand-code in one. ![]() Then when using CSS for layout became the 'next big thing' golive was left behind, as macromedia started really pushing the fact that dreamweaver wrote 'clean, standards compliant code' and thus dreamweaver gained the reputation as being the professional's choice. that was back when both apps created their layouts using clunky, hacky, nested tables, built with horrible code spaghetti - when no-one really cared about concepts like standards compliance, as long as it worked on exploder and netscrape. I used to use golive way back in the days when it was called 'golive cyberstudio' and it was streets ahead of the similarly youthful dreamweaver at the time - at least in terms of ease of use. Mac OK, this one is for the Mac users out there with a dotMac account or those windows users out there that are creating. but it seems like adobe thinks there's life in the old dog yet. i'd thought golive was destined to be taken out the back and put out of its misery with adobe's gobbling up of macromedia. Then flatten the image.I'm surprised to see this release. ![]() Under Layers in the Menu Bar - defringe the image (layer 1) - this will blend it back in better (experiment with the number of pixels). When you have done all of this, go back to Layer 1 (the new one you created earlier) and slide this back into position. If the bacground is difficult - you will need to "construct" the background using the Clone Stamp - for instance, if there is a tree branch that needs to be extended through the new area - you may have to carefully clone it bit by bit until it looks right - don't forget to clone from different areas if the background is trees as trees do not tend to have long straight branches. I would just remove "noticeable" objects - possibly by just selecting a spot and clicking once (doing this as many times as you need to. If the background is easy - use 100%, then blend in by selecting another cloning area of a similar background and use it sparingly at say 25% to make the new area look different from the original cloning area. The reason for doing this is to make the next step easier without having to worry about working up to an edge. Read the help files on using the Cloning Stamp.įirst I would cut out the person(s) directly adjacent to the person you want to remove (take your time to get this done accurately - enlarge the view to say 300% - note that you can do sections at a time and ADD to the selections until you have all of the people you want - you only need to do this along the edges of the area that you want to erase the person from - COPY the selection, do not CUT the selection). It will depend on the background as to how easy or hard this will be.
