CNET’s quick pass though some new Adobe Creative Suite tools.
C&I Graphics Manager Dave McPherson made the trip to SF to see Adobe’s unveiling of the latest, and arguably the greatest version of its flagship Creative Suite. The event was for service providers only, but everyone can now take a quick feature tour online at Adobe TV. You’ll see some amazing stuff.
The new Creative Suite is just now hitting the shelves, and if you’d like to get a closer look at InDesign CS4, check out our upcoming workshop, with special guest speaker Kelly McCathran direct from Adobe Systems. Read about it on our events page.

The Holy Grail of Graphics
September 2, 2008
Not all file formats are created equal. For maximum quality and flexibility, true vector format files such as EPS or AI are often your best choice. Need a logo or drawing in your brochure or business card? Use Adobe Illustrator, Freehand or Corel Draw for the job. Or ask your graphic artist/designer to do the same.
Better yet, these EPS items (also called paths/shapes) can now be freely and directly placed and edited in Adobe InDesign. Here’s how, according to David Watterson, art director of the Graphic Arts Technical Foundation.
Simply copy the item(s) from the source application and paste into you InDesign document via the clipboard. To copy paths from Illustrator 10 and up, be sure that AICB is checked and the “Preserve Paths” button is selected in Illustrator’s file handling and clipboard preferences.
And speaking of Adobe InDesign, be sure to sign up for our latest Copies&Ink event, sponsored by the nice folks at Adobe Systems.
