Adobe InDesign CS2 v4, DE CD W32 27510757 User Manual

➤

 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.

• View text size, wrap, and line ending changes interactively with dynamic text 

preview. Modify crops using a ghosted preview of the entire image as you adjust 

what’s visible in a frame.
