A prerelease overview of the new applications and suite components By Dave Nagel Adobe today announced the latest version of its Creative Suite, and we have all the details to share with you. We’ve been keeping this information bottled up for an awfully long time, and now that we can talk about it, we’re not going to hold anything back. So we’ll be providing you with in depth coverage of the Adobe Creative Suite 2, including spotlights on the individual applications in the suite– Photoshop , InDesign and Illustrator–and the suite as a whole. We’ll kick things off now with an overview of the new features in the Creative Suite 2.

By far the most exciting new features to be found in the new suite are those in Photoshop CS2. All of the applications in the suite gain at least a few significant enhancements, but with Photoshop , the new features are the most dramatic, including everything from the tiniest workflow enhancements to major new capabilities. We’ll go over those later on in this article, with more expansive, feature by feature coverage in separate “first look” articles on Photoshop CS2, InDesign CS2 and Illustrator CS2 beginning today and continuing through next week with seriously in depth “spotlight” articles on major new individual features.

Aside from the applications themselves, the Creative Suite components also gain some significant additions and refinements, from the new stand-alone file browser to an update of Version Cue to enhancements of inter-application color management. We’ll get into these first.

However, if you’d like to read our First Look articles on the major applications in the suite, you can find those by following these links:

작업과정의 효율성을 더욱 높여 줄 개별제품의 새로워진 기능들

어도비 크리에이티브 스위트 2에 포함된 기존의 개별 제품들도 편의성과 효율성을 향상시킬 수 있도록 기능이 크게 향상되었다. 포토샵 CS2는 사진작가들이 가지고 있는 문제들을 해결해 줄 수 있는 스팟 힐링 브러쉬 같은 신기능들이 대거 추가되어 이미지 편집 소프트웨어의 선두 자리를 더욱 공고히 할 것으로 기대되며 다양한 디자인 환경에서 다른 어도비 제품들과의 연동작업을 지원하는 인디자인 CS2 는 출판 시장에 새로운 대안이 될 것이다. 일러스트레이터 CS2의 라이브 트레이스와 라이브 페인트 기능은 디자이너의 아이디어를 손쉽고 정확하게 일러스트레이터 작업환경으로 변환해 줌으로써 디자이너들의 아이디어를 결과물로 만들어내는데 도움을 준다. 고라이브 CS2는 최신 웹, 모바일 환경을 지원하여 크로스-미디어 컨텐츠 제작 시장을 선도 할 것이다. 이외에도 인카피 CS2는 라이브 에디트 워크 플로우 플러그인 기능을 통해서 통합 편집을 가능하게 해준다.

한국어도비시스템즈의 이호욱 대표는  “우리고객들은 그들의 디자인, 광고, 출판 작업에서 매일 새로운 세계를 창조해낸다. 우리의 목표는 이러한 창조적 커뮤니티가 그들의 아이디어를 펼칠 수 있도록 기술적 플랫폼을 지원하는 것이다. 디자이너들에게 가장 필수적인 도구가 될 CS2는 그들이 온라인이나 프린트 혹은 최신의 휴대용 기기로 작업을 할 때 가장 효과적으로 아이디어를 실현시켜 줄 수 있는 완벽한 도구가 될 것이다.”라고 말했다.

A new file browser: Adobe Bridge Probably the most dramatic change to the suite elements has to be the new version of the File Browser. In the previous version of the Creative Suite, the File Browser was a window called up within Photoshop . Now, however, it’s a standalone application that can be called up anytime and can be used to drag and drop elements to any of the CS2 applications. The new, stand-alone version is called Adobe Bridge.

Here’s a look at the main Bridge interface using one of the four interface options: Film Strip.

The other view options include Thumbnails, Details and Versions & Alternates. And there’s also a Compact Mode options, which collapses the sidebar panes in the browser and places the Bridge interface in the frontmost window position (on top of any document windows), regardless of which application you’re using. (In this mode, it will also remain the frontmost window even when switching to non-Creative Suite applications.)

But beyond this, the Bridge adds further tools for manipulating images in your collections before you even open them up. This can include batch conversions to different file types and color spaces; batch renaming; running Photoshop scripts; applying Photoshop services; and applying functions from individual applications in the suite. This last category includes preflighting, Flash export; PDF export; and other functions.

From the new Bridge, you can drag and drop files into documents in the Creative Suite or even use it as a general-purpose tool for bringing documents into any application that provides drag and drop import capabilities for images, such as Adobe After Effects , Apple DVD Studio Pro, Macromedia FIreworks , etc., etc. And, because the Bridge can be used as a floating palette, you can always have your images easily accessible.

In fact, with the new capabilities of Bridge, it makes sense to incorporate it into every aspect of your workflow. I’ve set it up as one of the start-up items on my computer so that I’ll always have it handy. It’s just plain too useful now to ignore!

But the new feature of the Bridge don’t end there. You can place items into Creative Suite applications from the File menu.

You can apply Camera Raw settings from the Edit menu.

You can even access and edit full XMP File Info on any image at any time, just like in Photoshop ‘s File Info function.

There are tons of other refinements in the Bridge, including support for QuickTime movies (with video previews) that can be dragged and dropped into applications. (In fact, it even works with audio files.)

And there’s even an option for searching for and purchasing stock images using the new Adobe Stock Photos service. This service incorporates the royalty-free stock collections of a number of providers, including Comstock, Photodisc (Getty Images), Digital Vision, Imageshop and Amana, for a total of some 230,000 images as of this writing. You can search for images, browse categories and download comps directly from the Bridge. (Double-clicking any thumbnail image in the Bridge opens up the comp in Photoshop .) And you can get instant quotes on the images at various resolutions and purchase the images on the spot, adding them to your shopping cart within Bridge.

Synchronized color management The Creative Suite now includes synchronized color management between Photoshop , InDesign and Illustrator so that you can have consistent color between these applications. From the Bridge application, you can access “Creative Suite Color Settings” from the Edit menu, where you can then choose the default settings for all applications.

This automatically synchronizes the Creative Suite apps. But you can also still adjust these settings manually in each application through their respective Color Settings dialogs.

And, if you choose to make changes, you can save these changes to a new settings file (complete with your own description), which can then be used for all of the CS2 applications.

Beyond this, there are also individual color enhancements for InDesign and Illustrator, which we’ll discuss separately.

Other suite-wide changes Version Cue CS2 also gains several improvements, but far more minor than those of the Bridge. These include access through Bridge of Version Cue documents (with search capabilities and project creation); simplified versioning; simplified administration; and online, browser-based PDF review.

In addition, all of the applications in the suite gain access to common PDF export presets for more consistent PDF creation. This is a great little addition not just to the suite, but to your workflow as a whole. The new PDF presets in the Creative Suite provide for consistent PDF creation throughout the applications. But, in addition, they can also be accessed by non-Adobe applications in Mac OS X whenever you choose to print to PDF!

Finally, Help in the new suite has been redesigned into a new Adobe Help Center, which includes the ability to access Adobe Expert Support.

The core CS2 applications Regardless of the great changes in the CS2 suite components, nothing can compare to the new, sometimes breathtaking features introduced in the applications themselves– Photoshop , InDesign and Illustrator. I’ve had this suite in my hands since January, and I still haven’t fully explored all of the new functionality.

And when I say “new functionality,” I don’t mean those kinds of little application tweaks that developers of late have been trying to pawn off as full version upgrades. I’m talking about some significant enhancements. I’m going to touch on these briefly here. Please see the individual articles covering these features in depth. (And don’t forget to stay tuned for even more articles spotlighting the individual new features as well!)

Photoshop CS2 Just when you think there isn’t a whole lot more that Adobe could do to Photoshop , along comes Photoshop CS2, the most expansive, innovative and feature-packed update in the entire suite. Here’s a short look at these new features. Remember, for a more detailed exploration of Photoshop ‘s new capabilities, please see our article, entitled First Look: Adobe Photoshop CS2.

Vanishing Point. Among the more major of Photoshop ‘s new crowd pleasing features is one called Vanishing Point, which is really Adobe’s first step toward bringing 3D editing and compositing to the world of 2D still graphics. Vanishing Point allows users to create perspective grids in an image, then paint, clone, transform and copy and paste elements while updating the perspective of these elements according to the perspective of the image.

Image Warping. In previous versions of Photoshop , it was possible to to apply warps only to text. Now, however, it’s possible to warp images as well. The new capability is a transformation function (Edit > Transform > Warp) and includes all of the same preset warp styles as the previous text warps (arc, bulge, etc.), as well as a fantastic new grid warp. The grid warp allows you to manipulate pixels in a layer in the same way as a grid-based envelope distortion in Illustrator–that is, you can move around points and tangents in the grid to manipulate the warp of the object.

Animation. Yes, animation. Like ImageReady, Photoshop gains a new Animation palette, so you can create and play back animations and export them to the GIF format or to image sequences using the “Export Layers to Files” script. There are some limitations to animation in Photoshop (at least in the present pre-release build), which we address in our separate First Look article on Photoshop . (See link at the end of this section.) But it does provide most of the same functionality, such as tweening frames.

And it doesn’t end there. Photoshop also includes several more major enhancements, as well as some minor ones.

Smart Objects. This new capability allows you to save entire compositions within a single layer of a document. In other words, subcomps. These subcomps can be edited and manipulated non-destructively.

Multi-layer functionality. You can now select and manipulate multiple layers in the Layers palette.

New filters. Photoshop CS2 includes three new filters in addition to Vanishing Point. These are Smart Sharpen (for correcting image blurs), Reduce Noise (for eliminating channel noise and JPEG artifacts), Lens Correction (for lens distortion), Shape Blur (for applying a blur based on an object shape) and Surface Blur (for blurring based on threshold).

Smart Guides. This feature provides contextual guides that show you when one layer’s contents are aligned to another’s.

New tools. These include a one-click red-eye removal tool and a Spot Healing brush.

Enhanced Camera Raw. The new Camera Raw feature now lets you work with multiple raw images.

Variable data. You can now create data-driven graphics directly within Photoshop , using data from spreadsheets or databases, as well as data defined directly within Photoshop .

32-bit HDR support. Ah, high-dynamic range.

The rest. Want more? Okay. Photoshop CS2 also includes:

• Enhanced 16-bit filter support • Video previews via FireWire • CMYK support for the Shadow/Highlight function • Enhanced automation with additional Actions and image processing commands • Event-based scripting • Enhanced PDF engine with support for PDF 1.6 • Support for up to 3.5 GB of RAM • PDF presets • Menu customization (to hide or show menu commands) • A WYSIWYG font menu.

Illustrator CS2 The new Illustrator CS2 isn’t as expansive in its new features as Photoshop CS2. But it still offers some major new functionality, as well as some nice little tweaks throughout the workflow.

Live Trace. Ever wanted to convert a raster image to vectors? Well, now you can do it in Illustrator with Live Trace. And it’s about time! Beyond simple raster to vector conversion, Illustrator’s Live Trace feature holds the conversion in a live, editable state so that you can continue to manipulate the conversion process even after the initial conversion is completed.

Live Paint. This new feature lets you combine multiple objects into a single Live Paint object. With Live Paint applied, Illustrator allows you to apply fills to intersecting objects, treating intersections as independent objects for manipulation. Like Live Trace, Live Paint is a live feature that lets you continue manipulating the objects until you’re ready to expand them.

Tighter Photoshop integration. Illustrator CS2 supports Photoshop layer comps. It also allows you to apply Photoshop CS2 filters to raster images, either as standard filters or as live, non-destructive effects.

Stroke placement. Choose to align your strokes to the middle, inside or outside of paths.

Flash export improvements. The new version of Illustrator gives you more options for exporting animated Flash files, plus compression options.

Workflow. In the workflow department, Illustrator CS gains several more minor improvements and enhanced capabilities. These include:

• Custom workspaces, offering several preset workspaces for specific workflows (packaging, Web, titles, etc.), as well as the ability to save and manage workspaces. • A new Control palette for accessing context-sensitive parameters for selected objects. • New color management capabilities, including a synchronized color workflow throughout the CS2 applications, plus the ability to maintain CMYK numerical values when importing graphics. • The ability to swap color swatches with Photoshop CS2. • Various PDF enhancements, including support for PDF/X and access to the global PDF enhancements available in the entire Creative Suite 2.

And the rest. In addition to all of these changes, Illustrator CS gains several more enhanced capabilities. These include:

• Improved support for Wacom tablets, including Wacom’s latest devices, like the Intuos3 line of tablets. • Several typographical enhancements (175 of them, according to Adobe), such as underline and strikethrough. • Improved support for mobile devices, including support for SVG 1.1, SVG Tiny and SVG Basic. • The ability to specify how tiles overlap when printing oversized images. Illustrator can also now save tiled images as multi-page PDFs, rather than as large, single-page documents, if desired.

InDesign CS2 And, finally, we arrive at the relative newcomer to Adobe’s creative lineup: InDesign. This program has quickly become one of the most popular page layout apps on the market, and deservedly so. From the day of its first release, it was jam-packed with more creative features than virtually anything on the market, and, over the course of its relatively short existence, it’s gained even more. So what direction has the development of InDesign CS2 taken? Refinement and maturity.

Compared with Photoshop CS2 and Illustrator CS2, InDesign CS2 doesn’t offer any truly gigantic new features. What it has are loads of improvements on existing features, workflow enhancements and a few new creative tools.

Snippets. InDesign now offers a feature called Snippets, which lets you store images in a way that’s similar to symbols in other programs. Snippets can be reused in a document and saved for use by others. Snippets can be created by exporting them from the document, or by simply dragging and dropping them to the Desktop or the Bridge application. These elements can then be dragged back into the existing document or a new document, where they will be placed automatically according to their ortiginal position when they were created. (The elements can be further modified after placement.)

Photoshop and PDF layer options. With InDesign CS2, you can now control the visibility of individual Photoshop or Adobe PDF files placed in your InDesign documents. You can also control the visibility of layer comps.

Style enhancements. Also making their way into InDesign CS2 are several enhancements to styles, including Object Styles, which allow you to apply and save styles to and from object, just like applying styles to text. There are also several workflow improvements related to regular styles, including:

• The ability to load styles selectively from existing documents. • A keyboard shortcut to open up the Styles palette and search for a style by name. • A new “Apply Next Style” button for applying a succession of styles to selected text. • The ability to reset a modified style to its base style. • The ability to override character and paragraph styles with a single click of the mouse. • And the ability to remove or preserve styles and formatting on imported Word and RTF files (plus the ability to save Word import presets).

Anchored objects. Inline objects can now be positioned anywhere after initial insertion and will follow along with the text at the original insertion point. These objects can even be placed entirely outside of the text frame, while still maintaining their relative position.

Improvements to text handling. These include dragging and dropping text between frames, documents, instances of the Story Editor and multiple document views; the new ability to paste without formatting; an overset text indicator in the Story Editor; and automated removal of extra spaces.

Footnotes. You can now create footnotes within InDesign or convert footnotes from Word and RTF documents.

New spell-checking capabilities. InDesign CS2 offers “dynamic” spell checking (where InDesign highlights words it thinks are misspelled); the ability to add words to the dictionary with a single click; support for multiple user dictionaries; and automatic spelling correction. InDesign also now includes a total of 28 dictionaries.

Frame-based baselines. This new feature lets you set baseline grids at the text frame level.

Transform Again. If you apply a transformation or series of transformations on an object, you can reapply those same transformations again with one of four new commands: Transform Again, Transform Again Individually, Transform Sequence Again and Transform Sequence Again Individually.

Multi-page PDF import. Now, as one of the options available when placing PDF files into InDesign documents, you can choose to place all of the pages in the document.

And the rest. The rest of InDesign’s new features are generally minor workflow improvements. These include:

• WYSIWYG font menus. • Enhanced XML support, including cloning repeating text elements, linking InDesign files to XML files, importing text elements to tables and more. • Object and path shape conversion (converting from one shape to another with the click of a button). • Noise and spread options for drop shadows. • The ability to fill a frame proportionally with its content. • JDF support. • Enhancements to the Package for GoLive function. • The ability to create pages that are backward-compatible with InDesign CS.

And, of course, like all of the other programs in Adobe Creative Suite 2, InDesign 2 benefits from Adobe Bridge support (including synchronized color workflow) and PDF enhancements, including support for global PDF presets.

We will be covering more InDesign CS2 features in the near future, along with spotlights on features from the other programs in Creative Suite 2. If you have any questions in the meantime, be sure to visit me in the Adobe InDesign forum by clicking here.
