Adobe Illustrator CS3

Adobe Illustrator CS3 Symbol

Adobe Illustrator CS3

Explore new paths with the essential vector tool

Adobe® Illustrator® CS3 software allows you to efficiently create sophisticated vector artwork for virtually any medium. Access tools quickly and easily, explore colour variations, and share files seamlessly between Illustrator and other Adobe professional applications as you prepare content for print, web and interactive, and mobile and motion designs.

Top new features:

  • Live Colour—Explore, apply, and control color variations using Live Colour, which lets you select any artwork and interactively edit the colors to see results immediately. Use the Colour Guide panel to quickly choose tints, shades, or harmonious colour combinations.
  • Adobe® Flash® integration—Import native Adobe Illustrator® files into Flash CS3 Professional, or copy and paste artwork from Illustrator to Flash with paths, anchor points, gradients, clipping masks, and symbols intact. Layers, groups, and object names are also preserved.
  • Drawing tools and controls—Draw in Illustrator more quickly and fluidly than ever. Easier and more flexible anchor point selection, improved operating performance, and a new Eraser tool help you create artwork efficiently and intuitively.
  • Improved operating performance—Enjoy more responsive drawing and editing with improved performance in key operations, including faster screen redraw, object moving, panning, scaling, and transformations.
  • Control panel—Discover more options faster and free up screen space by accessing anchor point controls, clipping masks, envelope distortions, and more from the context-sensitive Control panel.
  • Eraser tool—Quickly remove areas of artwork with the Eraser tool as easily as you erase pixels in Photoshop®, and enjoy complete control over the width, shape, and smoothness of the erasure.
  • New Document Profiles—Create artwork easily by selecting prebuilt profiles for various types of media, and save custom profiles that specify such setup parameters as artboard dimensions, styles, and colour spaces.
  • Crop Area tool—Define crop areas interactively for print or export. Choose preset web ratios or video formats with safe areas, and set crop marks intuitively. Define multiple crop areas and easily move between them as needed.
  • Isolation mode—Edit objects in a group without disturbing other parts of your artwork. Easily select hard-to-find objects without having to restack, lock, or hide layers.
  • Symbols for Flash—Use Symbols to animate repeated objects while keeping file sizes small. Define and name symbol object attributes, and preserve these properties when you take the artwork to Flash CS3 Professional for further editing.

Top features:

  • Live Colour—Explore, apply, and control color variations using Live Colour, which lets you select any artwork and interactively edit the colours to see results immediately. Use the Colour Guide panel to quickly choose tints, shades, or harmonious colour combinations.
  • Live Trace—Quickly and accurately convert photos, scans, or other bitmap images to editable and scalable vector paths using Live Trace.
  • Drawing tools and controls—Draw in Adobe® Illustrator® CS3 more quickly and fluidly than ever. Easier and more flexible anchor point selection, improved operating performance, and a new Eraser tool help you create artwork efficiently and intuitively.
  • Integration with Adobe design applications—Speed your way through graphic designs and print production thanks to tight integration with Adobe Photoshop®, InDesign®, and Acrobat® software.
  • Live Paint—Easily paint any closed or partially closed area of your artwork with the Live Paint Bucket, which automatically detects and corrects gaps and lets you interactively select colours from a Swatch palette for faster work.
  • Advanced typography—Easily create and control type with over 100 OpenType® fonts, paragraph and character styles, paragraph composition, underline and strikethrough, transparent effects, and more.
  • Control panel—Discover more options faster and free up screen space by accessing anchor point controls, clipping masks, envelope distortions, and more from the context-sensitive Control panel.
  • Custom workspaces—Work more efficiently using custom workspaces that display only the panels you need for a specific task. Save, share, or access any workspace at any time, or use workspace presets.
  • Adobe PDF file creation tools—Create native Adobe PDF files, including multipage PDF files, so clients and others can easily review your artwork using Adobe Acrobat or free Adobe Reader® software.
  • Web and interactive tools—Easily create for the web and mobile devices using vector-based slicing tools, robust integration with Flash, New Document Profiles for web and mobile designs, the capability to preview mobile content in Adobe Device Central, and more.

Concurrency
Often the number of users who have access to a product and the number of users who use it are not equal. Provided that the number of users who are using the software at one time does not exceed the number of licenses, the customer can license exactly the number of users who will be accessing it at one time. This is commonly referred to as concurrency.
