Adobe Illustrator CS3

Illustrator is Adobe's long-running graphics software. Illustrator is now part of their integrated Creative Suite (CS3) family of products. Illustrator CS3 is available for Intel or PowerPC based Macintosh computers, as well as for Windows XP and Windows Vista systems. Some of its features include:

• Live Color lets you select any artwork and interactively edit the colors to see results immediately. The Color Guide panel lets you quickly choose tints, shades, or harmonious color combinations.
• Import native Illustrator files into Adobe Flash CS3 Professional software, 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.
• Easier and more flexible anchor point selection, improved operating performance, and a new Eraser tool help you create artwork efficiently and intuitively.
• 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.
• More responsive drawing and editing with improved performance in key operations, including faster screen redraw, object moving, panning, scaling, and transformations.
• New prebuilt document profiles are available for various types of media, and the ability to save custom profiles that specify such setup parameters as artboard dimensions, styles, and color spaces.
• Crop Area tool that allows you to define crop areas interactively for print or export. Choose preset web ratios or video formats with safe areas, and set crop marks intuitively.
• Isolation mode where you can 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.
