Event DetailsOn Tuesday evening, November 18, over 40 excited Indianapolis chapter members gathered to see the brand-new Adobe Creative Suite 4.
Noha Edell, Business Development Manager for Creative Pro products at Adobe, did a spectacular job presenting the latest features of CS4, including the new tabbed interface that can help you jump between multiple documents.
Noha showed Photoshop’s content-aware scaling, nondestructive corrections with the Adjustments panel, enhanced auto-align, auto-blend, 360° panoramas, and 3D interactivity. We saw Illustrator’s awesome multiple artboards and improved gradient features which now include transparency.
She went on to demonstrate the newest Adobe InDesign CS4 features, including:
• Live preflight. You can now see as you are working if there are any potential production errors in your document, allowing you to correct the problems at any time and see updated preflight information change on the fly.
• Links panel. Customize to view image thumbnails, scale, resolution, metadata, and more.
• Smart Guides and proportional place. Quickly align, space, and rotate images based on other images in the document with the smart guides giving the user visual placement cues.
• Spread rotation. No more turning your head sideways to view rotated type.
• Interactivity. There is a library of buttons with actions (states) already attached. Create page transitions in your document that can be viewed in Adobe Acrobat and Flash, then export your document as SWF or SFL files (Flash CS4 will maintain the appearance of your document).
One lucky member won a copy of InDesign CS4!
