Craft artwork that stands out
Discover powerful new creative tools in Photoshop and Illustrator for crafting artwork that stands out in a wide range of media.

• 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.

Express your ideas faster
Design Premium includes dozens of features designed to reduce the number of steps required to complete common tasks. Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Dreamweaver -- the tools you use every day -- all offer numerous enhancements to help make fast work of your next project.

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

Create interactivity without writing code
CS5 Design Premium equips you to tackle the creation of interactive content using familiar tools, skills, and design processes -- without writing a line of code.

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

Streamline critical processes
