Reviewer’s Guide [ 12 ]
Improved interpolation and new node transparency extend the possibilities of the Mesh Fill tool.
New & Enhanced! Curve tools: When
drawing with the curve tools, you can show or
hide the bounding box. This lets you draw
continuously without accidentally selecting the
bounding box of a previously created object. In
addition, you can specify the amount of space
between joined curves. You also have multiple
options for the type of join, including extending
the curves to an intersection point, defining a
radius to add between the segments, or defining
a chamfer to add between the segments.
Enhanced!
Color Palette Manager docker:
The enhanced Color Palette Manager docker
includes new PANTONE
®
profiles such as the
PANTONE
®
Goe
™
system and the Fashion+Home
palette. The Color Palette Manager makes it easier
to create, organize, and show or hide both
default and custom color palettes. You can create
Web-specific RGB palettes or print-specific CMYK
palettes. For optimal color consistency, you can
also add third-party color palettes when working
with multiple applications.
