Still using Creative Suite 3?
If you’re currently using CS3 Master Collection or any CS3 component by itself, consider a few tools
you may not be aware of. The following are key features that were introduced with Creative Suite 4
and are included with CS5.5 Master Collection.
• Smooth image navigation in Photoshop Extended. Quickly turn your canvas for distortion-free
viewing at any angle—no more tilting your head while painting and drawing. Navigate gracefully
to any area of an image with ultra-smooth zooming and panning.
• Multiple artboards in Illustrator. Create les containing up to 100 artboards of varying sizes and
display them any way you want—overlapping, side by side, or stacked. Save, export, and print
artboards independently or together, even as a multipage PDF le.
• Object-based animation in Flash Professional. With object-based animation in Flash
Professional, create simple but engaging animations in as few as two steps. Apply tweens directly
to objects instead of to keyframes, and easily make changes to motion with Bezier handles.
• Smart Objects in Dreamweaver. Insert any Adobe Photoshop PSD document in Dreamweaver to
create an image Smart Object tightly linked to the source le. Make changes to the source image
and update your image in Dreamweaver without opening Photoshop.
• Advanced motion graphics and eects with Aer Eects. Be productive and creative with
advanced features in Adobe Aer Eects. Searchable timelines and projects, expanded 3D
compositing options, motion tracking with mocha, and numerous interface eciencies stream-
line almost everything you do.
• Project intelligence with XMP metadata support. Take advantage of the eciency XMP
metadata. For example, Speech Search technology in Adobe Premiere Pro speeds editing by
using metadata to turn spoken words into searchable metadata, making it easy to nd particular
clips and making video assets searchable.
• Adobe OnLocation for shooting direct to disk. Get the benet of a tapeless workow without a
tapeless camera. With Adobe OnLocation, footage is automatically digitized and captured to disk
as you shoot.
• Blob Brush tool in Illustrator. Sketch with a brush that generates a single clean vector shape,
even when strokes overlap. Draw naturally, using the Blob Brush tool together with the Eraser
and Smooth tools.
