| Take advantage of the precision and power in new Adobe Illustrator CS5 software. Draw accurately in perspective, create variable-width strokes, and paint expressively with lifelike brushes. Collaborate thanks to integration with new Adobe CS Live online services and explore interactive designs for Adobe Flash Catalyst CS5 software. With a host of new time-savers, move quickly from multiple ideas to multiple outputs with complete control while delivering exactly what you had in mind.
Sophisticated vector drawing controls
Create distinctive designs with precise shape-building tools, fluid and painterly brushes, and advanced path controls. Such powerful drawing capabilities provide practically infinite possibilities for creating unique and striking artwork. |
Advanced typography
Enjoy easy type creation and professional control with more than 80 OpenType fonts, paragraph and character styles, paragraph composition, underlining and strikethroughs, transparent effects, and more. |
Gradient and transparency
Interact with gradients directly on your object, defining the dimension of elliptical gradients, editing colors, and adjusting opacity. Control the transparency of individual colors in a gradient, including those applied to a gradient mesh. |
Perspective Drawing
Use perspective grids to draw shapes and scenes in accurate 1-, 2-, or 3-point linear perspective. Create the look of realistic depth and distance with snap-to guides to quickly put objects, live text, and symbols into perspective. |
Beautiful Strokes
Adjust stroke width interactively using new width handles. Precisely position arrowheads and symmetrically align dashes. Control stretch at any point when scaling art brushes on a path, and see how patterns behave beautifully at corners. |
Multiple artboards
Work on up to 100 artboards of varying sizes in one file, organized and viewed the way you want overlapping or on a grid. Quickly add, delete, reorder, and name. Save, export, and print artboards independently or together. |
Drawing enhancements
Work faster with everyday tools. Draw behind, disregarding stacking order. Draw or place an image inside, instantly creating a clipping mask. Join paths with one keystroke, see ruler origins at the upper left, and scale symbols with 9-slice control. |
Crisp graphics for web and mobile devices
Create vector objects precisely on the fileÕs pixel grid for delivering pixel-aligned artwork. Generate clean, sharp raster graphics by turning on Align To Pixel Grid and using text anti-aliasing options for individual text frames. |
Integration with Adobe CS Review
Create and share from within Illustrator online reviews for clients and colleagues down the hall or around the world. Publish your review to the web and see comments in Illustrator so you can track feedback on specific design elements. |
Shape Builder tool
Intuitively combine, edit, and fill shapes directly on your artboard. Drag your cursor across overlapping shapes and paths to create new objects and add color without accessing multiple tools and panels. Quickly unite, exclude, trim, and more. |
