Exploring new creative realms
• Realistic painting effects with Photoshop. New tools enable you to paint in much the same way
you would using real-world brushes and paints. With a new Mixer Brush tool, new bristle
qualities, and new ways to blend colors, Photoshop offers virtually endless possibilities for
creating outstanding expressive effects, from enhancing photographic images in unusual ways to
painting directly on a blank canvas.

• Puppet Warp in Photoshop. Precisely warp or stretch graphics, text, or image elements to create
unique new looks for your designs, or to make an image more appealing or fit a specific layout.
Simply establish anchor points where you want image parts not to move, and handles that you
can use for warping. Then drag any of the handles to reposition the picture elements. After you
reposition an object, Photoshop adjusts the rest of the image to account for the shifted pixels.

• Fluid vector painting with Illustrator. Enjoy the editability and flexibility of vectors along with
the experience and expressiveness of painting in natural media. Paint freely with the vector-
based Bristle Brush to produce lifelike brush strokes. Each brush stroke creates a path that can be
edited just as easily as if it had been created with the Pen or Pencil tool in Illustrator. A preview
window shows you how the Bristle Brush and its brush stroke will look.

• Truer Edge selection technology in Photoshop. Take advantage of a faster way to extract
subjects from their backgrounds and create realistic composites. New intelligent selection
technology offers better edge detection and faster, more accurate masking for complex subjects,
such as hair. Automatic color decontamination helps you eliminate background color around the
edges of a selection, resulting in more seamless compositions when placing extracted subjects
on new backgrounds.

• Content-Aware Fill in Photoshop. Remove any image detail or object and watch as Content-
Aware Fill magically fills in the space left behind. This breakthrough technology matches lighting,
tone, and noise so it looks as if the removed content never existed.

• Beautiful strokes with Illustrator. Whether you’re designing a complex infographic or a simple
icon, finessing the details of strokes is an essential task. Illustrator includes several powerful
features that make working with strokes more precise and flexible, including variable-width
strokes, precise arrowheads, dashed-line controls, stretch controls for brushes, and brushes with
corner controls.

• Perspective drawing in Illustrator. Use perspective grids to draw shapes and scenes in accurate
1-, 2-, and 3-point linear perspectives. The Perspective Grid tool enables you to turn on a grid
that supports drawing directly on planes of true perspective. The Perspective Selection tool
allows objects to be moved, scaled, duplicated, and transformed dynamically in perspective.

• Simplified object selection and editing in InDesign. Whether you’re designing a document that
will be printed, viewed onscreen, or both, everything from aligning and distributing space
between objects to adjusting corner effects is faster and easier in InDesign. Perform multiple
transformations with a single tool, adjust the white space between objects, create corner effects
directly on a frame, and create grids by simply pressing arrow keys to add columns and rows.

• Multiple page sizes in a single InDesign document. Streamline design and production of
projects with multiple page sizes by including different page sizes in a single InDesign document.
Use the Page Selection tool to select and resize individual pages, applying resizing options in the
Control panel. Easily share design assets by applying the same master page to different-sized
layouts while controlling the placement of master elements in each individual layout.
