Revolutionize everyday creative work with expressive painting tools
Add impact to print designs using tools that let you create scalable vector artwork with the nuance and subtlety of fine art, enhance photographs with painterly effects, and more. Use the Bristle Brush in Illustrator and the Mixer Brush and Bristle Tips in Photoshop to paint freely on screen much as you would with physical brushes and paints.
Streamline review of creative projects
Bring creative reviews directly into your design workflow thanks to CS Review, a new Adobe CS Live online service that integrates with your design software. Quickly initiate and share a review from within your design software and receive comments in the context of your work.
Complex selections made easy
Get better-than-ever results in Adobe Photoshop CS5 when selecting tricky image elements such as hair, and eliminate background color around selection edges.
Simplified object selection and editing
Save time by performing repetitive layout tasks efficiently in Adobe InDesign CS5. Manipulate frames and frame content without switching tools. Dynamically adjust white space between objects to reposition page items. Use on-object controls to modify frame corners directly in the layout.
Resolution-independent effects
In Illustrator CS5, apply raster effects such as drop shadows, glows, blurs, and textures that maintain a consistent appearance at different resolutions throughout the design process.
Production and printing tools
Find and place files fast using the new Mini Bridge panel as you work in InDesign CS5 and Photoshop CS5. Export large PDF files in the background, and eliminate font-related production problems using document-installed fonts in InDesign.
Enhanced text tools
In InDesign CS5, take advantage of efficiencies such as text-change tracking and paragraphs that span and split columns.
Faster, more precise drawing tools
In Illustrator CS5, adjust stroke width interactively using convenient width handles, precisely size and position arrowheads, and align dashes symmetrically. Draw shapes and scenes in accurate 1-, 2-, or 3-point linear perspective.
Multiple page sizes in a single InDesign file
Streamline design and production of projects with multiple page sizes, such as marketing collateral and complex magazine folds. Include different page sizes in a single document and apply the same master page to different-sized layouts.
Accelerated creative reviews with Adobe CS Live online services
Bring creative reviews directly into your design workflow using new CS Live online services that integrate with your Creative Suite software.
