Macromedia FreeHand 10 for Windows and Macintosh features tools that make other illustration packages jealous, but learning to use it without guidance can be daunting. The FreeHand 10 Visual QuickStart Guide from Peachpit Press presents an easy approach to mastering it, while taking the reader beyond the basics.There are 32 chapters that discuss virtually every important feature and aspect of FreeHand, beginning with installation and the interface through document handling (and using multiple pages) to working with text and drawing elements. FreeHand is an extremely flexible and capable application, and each chapter reflects this. The three chapters on working with text (Basic Text, Text Tools, and Text Effects) are perhaps the most valuable in the book, but only until you get to the chapters on "Automating FreeHand", using the "Xtra Tools", or the two chapters on understanding printing. Preparing files for professional output on an imagesetter is a whole chapter in itself.
But FreeHand is more than a tool for creating printed documents. Chapters 28 and 29 detail FreeHand's Web features--exporting as HTML, embedding links, using Web safe colours, and creating Flash animations using FreeHand.
For new users, Peachpit's Visual QuickStart series can't be beat; concisely written, lavishly illustrated, designed to get the reader from novice to proficient user in as lit

Integrating Flash, Fireworks and FreeHand F/X & Design: Solutions for Web Design Workflow is perfect if you've already used each of these applications individually, but want to become more efficient by taking advantage of the specific strengths each offers and coordinating tasks between them all. Projects cover creating maps, wireframe diagrams, photographs, navigational bars, animated GIFs, Flash movies, building Web sites and more. And the book even discusses how to integrate Fireworks within Dreamweaver.This is a tutorial based book and fairly text-heavy. You'll get the most out of it if you can invest the time to follow along step-by-step in front of your computer, either using the files provided on the CD or generating new artwork yourself. The author has a gentle, friendly style that is encouraging and supportive. The introduction to the chapter on Flash by noted Flash expert, Hillman Curtis, only amounts to three pages of advice, but it's also very encouraging to newbies.
The book's level is set at roughly "intermediate to advanced", but this needs to be clarified: if you call yourself "advanced", this will all be familiar territory (no advanced user needs to see how Bézier curve handles work). On the other hand, if you are a designer who is experienced in other graphics applications, but a rank beginner with any of these Macromedia products, you'll probably be able to follow along just fine. The bulk of the audience will be users who feel they haven't yet maximised their integration of Flash, Fireworks, Freehand and Dreamweaver, as well as those who've lagged behind in taking the leap into ActionScripting. (Isn't that most of us?) You won't become an ActionScripting pro, but you will pick up some of the fundamentals.
A nice bonus: on the CD are 20 Quicktime movies demonstrating key steps in several projects. --Angelynn Grant
