Design Collection 3
Unleash your creativity with powerful, professional Adobe design tools
The Adobe® Design Collection brings together four award-winning, next-generation design and publishing applications for design professionals:
Adobe InDesign™
Adobe Photoshop®
Adobe Illustrator®
Adobe Acrobat®
Together, these programs give you everything you need to create and produce professional images, illustrations, and layouts, and to publish documents across media. Plus, the collection offers substantial savings over the cost of buying the programs separately.
Unmatched creative freedom
The extraordinary breadth of tools included in the Adobe Design Collection extends your creative possibilities. Use Photoshop — the world-class image editing software — to retouch, enhance, color-correct, and apply special effects, and take advantage of enhanced color management, an expanded Actions palette, and the ability to create editable vector shapes and text. Draw and edit detailed illustrations in Illustrator with its versatile transparency capabilities, blending modes, powerful object and layer effects, editable text, and other innovative features. Produce sophisticated page layouts and elegantly composed text with the innovative design and typographical features in InDesign, including built-in trapping, inserting text along a path, copying text and graphic formatting with the new eyedropper tool, plus dozens of new streamlined editorial and production features. Exchange, review, and output Adobe PDF files with precision using the powerful tools in Acrobat.
Increased productivity
Integrated Adobe technologies in the Adobe Design Collection provide consistent font handling, color management, on-screen graphics display, and Adobe PDF support across all four programs. Moreover, InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator share common palettes, tools, commands, and keyboard shortcuts, so working among them is simple. Together, they form one smoothly integrated design environment, and each of the programs takes full advantage of the power of a PDF workflow to take your concepts from design to print. Automate production and creative tasks using the Actions palettes in Photoshop and Illustrator, or with scripts in InDesign. Undo and redo multiple steps at any time and organize elements on layers for easy management. E-mail documents to clients as PDF files for review and markup using annotations, highlights, strikethroughs, electronic sticky notes, and other editing tools in Acrobat. You can event annotate Photoshop files with voice or written comments, then export to PDF for review. When you're ready to print, use Acrobat to produce PDF files optimized for high-resolution output by your service provider.
