Features

Adobe® Creative Suite® 5 Design Premium software gives you powerful new creative tools for crafting artwork that stands out. Finish work faster with feature-packed releases of Adobe Photoshop® Extended, Illustrator®, and InDesign®. And extend the reach of your work by creating interactive content with new Adobe Flash® Catalyst™ - without writing code.

Realistic painting effects

Easily paint with lifelike brush strokes to create beautiful, expressive images in Photoshop CS5 Extended. Blend a photo's colors; use bristle properties such as shape, length, and stiffness; or define multiple colors on a single brush and blend them into the underlying colors on your canvas.

Fluid vector painting

Combine the expressiveness of painting with the editability and scalability of vectors. Paint freely with vectors that resemble real-world brush strokes, controlling paint opacity and bristle characteristics such as shape, length, and stiffness, with Illustrator CS5.

Easy 3D extrusions

Create stunning 3D logos and artwork from any text layer, selection, or layer mask with the Adobe Repousse feature in Photoshop CS5 Extended. Twist, rotate, extrude, bevel, and inflate these designs, and then apply materials such as chrome, mud, and grass to achieve different looks.

Truer Edge selection technology

Produce highly accurate masks and make selections faster with Photoshop CS5 Extended. Even the trickiest image elements, such as hair and foliage, can be masked quickly and accurately to produce realistic composite images.

Beautiful strokes

Avoid time-consuming workarounds by using convenient width handles to adjust stroke width interactively in Illustrator CS5. Precisely size and position arrowheads, and align dashes symmetrically. Control stretch at any point when scaling art brushes on a path, and see how strokes join intelligently at corners.

Simplified object selection

Save time by performing finicky layout tasks efficiently. Manipulate frames and frame content without switching tools in InDesign CS5. Dynamically adjust white space between objects to reposition page items. Use on-object controls to modify frame corners directly in the layout.

Multiple page sizes in a single file

Streamline design and production for projects with multiple pages sizes in a single InDesign CS5 file, such as brand identity, marketing collateral, and complex magazine folds. Include different page sizes in a single document and intelligently apply the same master page to each.

More efficient CSS-based design

Design web pages more easily using cascading style sheets (CSS) in Dreamweaver CS5 - without diving into code or using additional software. Quickly inspect pages and individual components to understand how they are structured.

Crisp graphics for web, interactive, and mobile delivery

Create resolution-independent vector graphics in Illustrator CS5 that appear crisp in Adobe Fireworks® CS5, Dreamweaver CS5, and Flash Professional CS5 - on virtually any screen.

Convenient asset handling

Access all your creative assets within the context of what you're working on with Adobe Mini Bridge. Use a customizable panel in Photoshop CS5 Extended or InDesign CS5 to sort and filter files, and then drag them directly into your layout.

Roundtrip editing with Flash Catalyst

Edit artwork in Illustrator CS5 while maintaining structure and interactivity added using Flash Catalyst CS5.

Interactive content without code

Design compelling interactive content without writing code with Flash Catalyst CS5. Start with artwork created in Photoshop CS5 Extended, Illustrator CS5, or Adobe Fireworks® CS5 and transform it into high-quality interactive content for web pages, user interfaces, and applications, or into finished content for viewing with Adobe Flash Player.

Dynamic digital documents

Add attention-grabbing interactivity, animation, movies, and sound to your digital documents and presentations with InDesign CS5. Use enhanced tools, motion presets for easy animation, and support for importing FLV and MP3 audio files. Export to the SWF file format for playback in Adobe Flash Player.

Enhanced eBook document design

Create compelling eBooks with enhanced support for the EPUB format. Use InDesign CS5 to author eBooks that can be read on a variety of devices such as the Apple iPad, Sony Reader, and Barnes & Noble nook. Enjoy more consistent text and image placement, more accurate translation of page breaks, and support for text and table formatting.

Superior onscreen typography

Make sure your typography looks as good on screen as in print - preserve high-quality typography when handing off layouts from InDesign CS5 to Flash Professional CS5. A new text engine in Flash Professional supports text styling, text layout control, multiple columns, and more.

Simplified mobile-content design

Easily experiment with designing for mobile devices with Fireworks CS5 and Adobe Device Central CS5. Use Device Central and Fireworks to quickly set up a project with the correct specifications, design visually in Fireworks, and hand off your prototype for development in Flash Professional CS5 or Adobe Dreamweaver® CS5.

Streamlined reviews

Maximize your design time by streamlining inefficient review processes with Adobe CS Review, part of CS Live online services. Initiate shared reviews from within Photoshop CS5 Extended, Illustrator CS5, and InDesign CS5. Invite colleagues and clients to comment using easy-to-use annotation tools, and view comments directly in the context of the design.

Web-based meetings

Choose File > Share My Screen from your design software to initiate an Adobe ConnectNow web conferencing session to quickly share ideas with others, all online. ConnectNow is a feature of Acrobat.com, part of CS Live online services.

Web page testing

Efficiently preview web pages on multiple browsers and operating systems with Adobe BrowserLab, part of CS Live online services. Save time and money by eliminating the need for buying costly testing hardware, installing multiple browsers, and maintaining testing labs.

Personal online workspace

Easily share and collaborate on a set of documents with individuals or teams outside your organization using online Workspaces on Acrobat.com. You decide who has access and the level of access to each document.
