Top new features in Adobe® Creative Suite® 6 Design & Web Premium

Retouching magic in Photoshop® Extended

Retouch images with astonishing ease and precision. Patch images with greater control using Content-Aware Patch, which allows you to choose the sample area Content-Aware will use to magically create your patch.

Mercury Performance System in Illustrator®

Work blazingly fast - even with processing-intensive effects such as blurs, glows, and drop shadows that used to slow you down. Access all the RAM on your system thanks to native 64-bit support on both Mac OS and Windows.®

Multiple versions in one InDesign® file

Efficiently manage multiple layouts based on a single set of content. Use Alternate Layout to create multiple versions in one document. Use Liquid Layout to automate layout reformatting based on page size.

Linked content across InDesign documents

Link content within or across InDesign documents, so that changes (including interactivity) made to the parent text or object are applied automatically to all linked children objects.

Adaptive web layouts in Dreamweaver®

Use fluid grid layout to define styles and rules for adaptive web layouts that scale and look great on screens of virtually any size. It's now easier to design complex layouts without drowning in code.

Gradients on strokes in Illustrator

Apply gradients to your strokes - along the length, across the width, or within the stroke itself - all with complete control over gradient placement and opacity.

PDF forms in InDesign

Create form fields directly within Adobe InDesign before you export to PDF. You can also assign the tab order in InDesign using the Articles panel.

Blur Gallery in Photoshop Extended

Quickly create photographic blur effects using a simple interface with on-image controls. Create tilt-shift effects, blur everything and then sharpen one focal point, or vary the blurriness between multiple focal points.

Improved auto-corrections in Photoshop Extended

Enhance your images with improved Auto Curves, Levels, and Brightness/Contrast controls. Intelligence from thousands of hand-retouched images is built in to provide a better starting point for making adjustments.

Background save in Photoshop Extended
