I’m not going to focus on the big software like Photoshop et al., but rather on some of the smaller shareware/freeware apps that I find myself using quite frequently for different aspects of my business.

Software Updates: TopStyle, Transmit, CSS Sculptor
On Aug. 23, TopStyle 3.5 Beta was released. 3.5 will be a free upgrade to owners of the current version of TopStyle and includes these new features:
- Box Spy – exposes an HTML tag’s margins, padding and content box as you mouse over it in the preview
- Ability to apply the current style sheet to an external URL
- Replace in files (“Extended Replace”)
- Style definitions for Firefox 2, IE7, Safari 2 and Opera 9
- Support for PNG images in the thumbnail viewer
Yesterday, Panic’s FTP client Transmit 3.6 was released. New features include Amazon S3 support and the ability to copy and preview remote web URLs. 3.6 is a free upgrade for owners of version 3.
Finally, there’s a new Dreamweaver add-on called CSS Sculptor from Eric Meyer that’s just recently been released. It’s got a good name behind it and hopefully it’ll help those new to CSS get into web standards and table-less design.
