Adobe 5.5 Design Standart 65146490 User Manual

Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Standard 

What’s New

•  Paragraphs that span or split columns in InDesign. Quickly format headlines, subheads, or any 

text to span multiple columns in a single text frame. Apply settings to a paragraph, specifying
whether the text should span some or all columns, or split columns, so that InDesign automati-
cally reflows what was one column into two or more columns.

• Convenient visual browsing and asset handling with Adobe Mini Bridge. Take advantage of a 

customizable panel in Photoshop and InDesign to sort, filter, and drag files directly into your 
artwork or layout without ever leaving your design software.

•  Faster performance across platforms with Photoshop. Speed up day-to-day imaging tasks and 

process very large images up to 10 times faster by taking advantage of cross-platform 64-bit 
support. (Requires a 64-bit-capable computer with a 64-bit version of Mac OS, Microsoft® 
Windows® 7, or Windows Vista®. Actual performance varies depending on the amount of RAM, 
driver types, and other factors.)

•  Accelerated reviews through integration with Adobe CS Review. Enjoy faster, more efficient 

creative reviews with CS Review, an Adobe CS Live online service

†‡

 that integrates with compo-

nents of CS5.5 Design Standard. Initiate shared reviews with just a few clicks from within 
Photoshop, Illustrator, or InDesign—simply click Access CS Live in the Application bar to open 
the CS Review panel. Then create a new review, add your layout or artwork, and invite colleagues 
or clients to view it online. They receive an email invitation with a link—one click and they see 
the document displayed in their web browser.

•  Dynamic digital documents with InDesign. Add attention-grabbing interactivity, animation,

video, and sound to digital documents and presentations in your familiar design software. 
InDesign CS5.5 includes support for FLV video and MP3 audio files, as well as dozens of motion 
presets that make it easy to create animations. Export a document or presentation from InDesign 
to SWF format for playback in Adobe Flash® Player or a web browser. Or export a document as an 
interactive PDF file, complete with video and sound. Five panels introduced in InDesign CS5 
provide intuitive controls that enable you to create a wealth of dazzling effects.

Still using Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Standard?

If you’re considering upgrading to CS5.5 Design Standard, remember that you’ll benefit from all the 
new features described above, as well as all the new features introduced in CS4 Design Standard. 
They include:

•  Content-Aware Scaling in Photoshop. Automatically recompose an image as you resize it, 

smartly preserving vital areas as the image adapts to the new dimensions. Get the perfect image 
in one step without time-intensive cropping and retouching.

•  Smoother panning and zooming and fluid canvas rotation in Photoshop. Navigate gracefully to 

any area of an image with new, ultra-smooth zooming and panning. Just click to smoothly turn 
your canvas for distortion-free viewing at any angle—no more tilting your head while painting 
and drawing.

•  Multiple artboards in Illustrator. Create files containing up to 100 artboards of varying sizes, and 

display them any way you want—overlapping, side by side, or stacked. Save, export, and print 
artboards independently or together. Save a selected range or all artboards as a multipage PDF file.

•  Blob Brush tool in Illustrator. Sketch with a brush that generates a single clean vector shape, 

even when strokes overlap. Draw naturally, using the Blob Brush tool together with the Eraser 
and Smooth tools.

•  Gradients exposed. Interact with gradients right on your object; set gradient angle, position, and 

elliptical dimensions; and add and edit colors using sliders—all with immediate feedback where 
you work.
