• Intelligent Bézier Curves
Now simply "connect the dots" to trace around curved objects and
pictures... the improved Curved Line tool features Smart segments that
use automatic curve-fitting to connect each node! Use Crop to Shape to
trim one object to another... Convert to Curves for node-and-segment
control over all objects, including QuickShapes.
• Gradient and Bitmap Fills, Transparencies
For sophisticated illustrations and impressive typographic effects, select
from a wide variety of Linear, Radial, and Conical fills and transparencies
...and a multi-faceted Studio gallery of picture-based effects. Use the
interactive Fill and Transparency tools for drag-and-drop updating.
• Striking Shadow, Glow, and Bevel Effects
One dialog serves as your "creation station”, where you can select and
preview a spectacular range of special effects for text or any object.
Choose from soft-edged transparent Drop Shadow, Inner Shadow, Inner
Glow, or Outer Glow, plus four Bevel and Emboss effects!
• Astounding 3D Lighting and Surface Effects
Beyond the above 2D effects, 3D Filter Effects now bring flat shapes to
life! Choose one or more effects, then vary surface and source light
properties. Start with a pattern or a function, adjust parameters for
incredible surface contours, textures, fills—realistic-looking wood, water,
skin, marble and much more.... The feathering filter effect adds a soft or
blurry edge to any object. Great for blends, montages, vignetted photo
borders, and much more.
