IPA has the objective inside track on what's new, what's great, and what you need to know in the Creative Suite 3 applications! Our applications guru Steve Werner shares his expertise and show us the host of productivity and feature enhancements in the new CS3 programs; InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator.
Session 1 - InDesign
In InDesign CS3 you can now place multiple files in a single step with thumbnail preview of each file in the Place cursor. He’ll discuss new Quick Apply and fitting commands and how they can be automated. Steve Werner will cover table and cell styles which can be applied the same way as paragraph and characters styles. Plus, Find/Change has been enhanced and now includes the ability to search and change objects, making it easier when you need to edit your client’s files.
Session 2 - Photoshop
Photoshop CS3’s new palette arrangement to use space for efficiently (also shown in the other Suite applications). He’ll cover how to use the revolutionary Quick Selection tool to make selections interactively, and then refine the edge of a selection with the Refine Edge feature. Vanishing Point is enhanced so you can now add planes other than 90° and edit in perspective on more than one plane.
Session 3 - Illustrator
Illustrator’s application of creating and editing vector graphics has been a fundamental part of the creative workflow, being tightly integrated with the other components of Creative Suite. Like the other members of the Creative Suite, Illustrator CS3 has a new interface featuring streamlined palette management. In addition, emphasis has been placed on enhancing Illustrator’s performance both when navigating and drawing.
