Adobe Upgrade to InDesign® CS2 17510845 User Manual

• Apply editable drop shadows, feathering, and other transparency effects. Maintain soft 

edges when placing transparent Photoshop files.

➤

 Adjust Noise and Spread options to fine-tune the appearance of drop shadows and 

feathers onscreen and in print. Noise gives them a rougher or grainier texture; spread 

controls the amount of blur in a drop shadow.

• Create and apply gradients to the stroke and fill of graphics and text. The objects remain 

fully editable.

• Combine two or more inks to define and generate a palette of colors that broadens your 

color choices for a design job without breaking your print budget.

• Create spot or process colors in CMYK, RGB, or LAB color mode. Add colors from over 

20 swatch libraries included with InDesign CS2, including PANTONE®, Toyo, and 

TRUMATCH.

➤

 Synchronize color settings across Adobe applications with one click of your mouse to 

achieve consistent color onscreen. Exchange color swatches across all the components 

of Adobe Creative Suite 2.

➤

 Use a color picker similar to the one in Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator® software to 

visually select RGB, CMYK, or LAB colors.

• Automatically optimize line breaks across a paragraph using the Paragraph Composer.

• Unlock the full potential of OpenType fonts with support for multilingual and alternate 

glyphs including old-style numbers, fractions, ligatures, and swashes.

• Browse all the glyphs contained in a font and then select and insert them using the 

handy Glyphs palette. Organize frequently used glyphs from different fonts into sets.

• Produce elegantly kerned type automatically. Optical kerning is especially useful for 

kerning text that mixes typefaces and font sizes.

• Quickly hang punctuation to create a smooth, visually pleasing edge for multiple lines 

of text.

• Display graphics in high resolution for precision work or to preview the graphics within 

your layout. Easily switch back to lower resolution view for faster onscreen display.

• Instantly hide all nonprinting items and show a trimmed version of a page as it will 

print. Also preview bleeds and slugs, and continue editing in any of the preview modes.
