Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium What’s New
• Stretch control for brushes. Dene how art and paern brushes scale along a path. Select areas
of the brush graphic to stretch and those to keep in proportion. For example, you can stretch the
center of a decorative banner while preserving the proportions of the scrolling ends.
• Brushes with corner control. Apply art and paern brushes to a path and get clean results, even
at tight bends or corners. Where strokes of dierent widths join, or form obtuse or acute angles,
choose options to properly ll the points where the joins occur.
Simplified object selection and editing in InDesign
Aligning pictures in a grid, tweaking the white space between objects in a layout—finicky adjust-
ments like these take time. InDesign offers several elegant features for performing common
repetitive, time-consuming layout tasks precisely and quickly. Whether you’re designing a docu-
ment that will be printed, viewed onscreen, or both, everything from aligning and distributing
objects to adjusting corner effects is faster and easier in InDesign CS5.
• Multiple transformations with a single tool. Use the same tool to select, align, distribute, rotate,
resize, reposition, crop, and scale frames and frame content. InDesign CS5 dynamically switches
to the right tool for the job, so you don’t have to keep moving back and forth between the
toolbox and your layout. e new Content Indicator lets you quickly reposition or rotate content
within a frame, just by clicking and dragging. A real-time crop preview helps you position the
content precisely where you want it.
• Gap tool. Adjust the white space between objects to dynamically reposition page items while
maintaining spatial relationships. Shi the white space up or down, le or right, without cropping
or resizing each object on the page. Persistent frame-ing keeps the relationship between the
object and its frame consistent even though the frame dimensions may change. You can even
expand or contract the white space between adjacent objects, dynamically resizing or cropping
the objects accordingly.
• Live corner eects. Drag the corners of a
frame to dynamically change their radius and
shape directly in the layout. Modify one corner
at a time or all four corners simultaneously.
• Easy grid placement. Take the tedium out of
creating a grid for placing images, as in a
catalog or directory. Simply press arrow keys
to add columns and rows for images or
threaded text frames.
Click to make the corners active, and then drag the corner
diamonds (inset) to new positions. On-object controls make it
simple to dynamically change the look and feel of a frame as
you design.
More timesaving features in
Illustrator CS5
See Adobe Illustrator CS5 What’s New
to learn more about these and other
new features:
• Perspective drawing. Draw shapes
and scenes in accurate 1-, 2-, or
3-point linear perspective.
• Shape Builder tool. Intuitively
combine, edit, and ll shapes
directly on your artwork.
• Drawing enhancements. Work
faster with everyday tools. Join
paths with a keystroke and draw
behind or inside an object.
Use the Gap tool to adjust multiple
images simultaneously while maintaining
the spacing between the images. When
Auto-Fit is enabled, InDesign honors
object ing seings (such as Center in
Frame) to maintain the relationship
between objects and their frames as you
adjust the gap between objects. Simply
drag the Gap tool to adjust the cropping
of all the abuing images. Press
Command or Control to resize a
gap instead of moving it.
Instead of switching from the Selection
tool to the Direct Selection tool to
reposition content within a frame, simply
click the Content Indicator in the center
of the frame, and then drag.
Before: e image in the le column needs to be wider, while preserving the guer
space between it and the two images on the right.
Aer: With Auto-Fit checked, use the Gap tool to drag the guer space, widening
the image on the le while automatically adjusting the cropping of the other two.
