Adobe released a public preview of Adobe Edge, its new web motion and interaction design tool, on Monday.

Edge enables users to create animated content using HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript — not Flash. It’s the first professional-grade HTML5 editing tool on the market and is currently available for free, as the company is looking for feedback from developers.

Interestingly enough, Adobe Edge shares the name with Adobe’s free newsletter, which is bound to create some confusion among users.

The product, which relies on strict HTML standards and does not incorporate Flash, is not meant to replace existing web design tools like Dreamweaver or Flash, but to coexist with them, enhancing Adobe’s position as a leader in the future of Web infrastructure, especially as HTML5 becomes increasingly important in the world of mobile.

When Mashable spoke with Paul Gubbay, Adobe’s VP of design and web engineering, last September, he made it clear that the company is interested in supporting both platforms. The following month, Adobe launched a Flash-to-HTML5 converter, a first step towards supporting HTML5.

Adobe is further backing up that position with the launch of Adobe Edge, and promises fast-paced updates to the software to keep up with frequent changes to HTML5 itself.

Adobe released the video preview embedded below last month. Take a look, download it, test it out and let us know what you think about it.

The following are some incredibly beautiful examples of using negative space in photography. Let these ideas inspire you for design projects like postcards, posters, web design, and so much more. As you will see, any of these beautiful photographs will also create a great background for your website. So keep empty space in mind next time you decide to take a few photographs to see just how much more focus and emotion you can add to an image.

The Double Cosby
This humorous photo by unclefuz shows that negative space can really add a comedic tone to a photograph.

Day one five four
An unusual subject placed in only the left or right one-third of the photo can really catch the eye

Having a walk
The man in this photograph is surrounded by white negative space, which makes the eye take notice of him.

Lamp
The lamp in this photo may go unnoticed in another setting, but with the large amount of blank space, it is the only object on which the eye can rest.

A hand full of treasures
Notice how the details of the hand and marbles stand out against the blank background.

Iguana
This small green reptile appears almost regal against the contrasting background of red brick tile.

Extremist
When negative space is a landscape scene, a subject such as this boy who seems to be almost flying, not only stands out but also evokes a large degree of emotion. One can certainly relate to his seeming elation.

Emergency Valve
An very everyday object can send a simple message easily when placed against a blank background such as in this photo. The shadow is also a nice touch.

Laurent High Key
The expression on this man’s face is intriguing, especially since we are not privy to the object of his vision.

Yellow in winter
Bright flowers always stand out well against a large black background.

Another look at bellinzona’s castelgrande
Tunnels narrow the focus of a piece and easily direct the eye. The bright light at the end of the tunnel in this photo envelops the person, making it easy for a designer to guide a viewer’s emotions.

Oranges and Yellows on Blue
A stark contrast such as this bright blue water against the bright colors of the canoe is very appealing. Such a large expanse of negative space gives the impression of openness or solitude.

Marina Del Ray
The negative space in this photo adds to the feeling of viewing an object frozen in time.

Music
Most babies are fascinating in and of themselves, so when placed in a photo in a cute pose surrounded by a blank background, they become irresistible.

Wander
Placing a scene at the very bottom of a photo against a large expanse of sky really gives the scene a “far away” look and feel.

Negative space
A brilliantly eye-catching photograph is made even more attractive with excellent use of negative space.

Feather
A close up of an object such as this feather against a pillow makes for a nice abstract piece of art.

Midnight
A dark purple flower against a dark background instills a feeling of mystery.

Stretch armstrong
This photo is brilliantly done with a gradient background and the colors of the model’s clothes. The eye is automatically drawn downward from the light areas of the photo at the top to the darker areas at the bottom.

Look on the Bright Side of Life
A normally boring or ugly object such as this light post can become quite eye-catching against a nice gradient background such as this.

Strolling
This man walking along the horizon of road against a purple sky makes him appear very much alone.
