Adobe Illustrator is
a vector graphics editor developed and marketed by Adobe
Systems. Illustrator is similar in scope, intended market, and functionality to
its competitors, CorelDraw, Xara Designer
Pro and Macromedia Free Hand. The latest version, Illustrator
CS5, is the fifteenth generation in the product line. Illustrator CS was the first version to include
3-dimensional capabilities allowing users to extrude or revolve shapes to
create simple 3D Objects. Illustrator CS2 (version 12) was available
for both the Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows operating
systems. It was the last version for the Mac which did not run natively on Intel processors.
Among the new features included in Illustrator CS2 were Live Trace, Live Paint,
a control palette and custom work spaces. Live Trace allows for the Conversion
of bitmap imagery into vector art and improved upon the previous tracing
abilities. Live Paint allows users more flexibility in applying color to
objects, specifically those that overlap. In the same year as the CS2 release,
Adobe Systems announced an agreement to acquire Macromedia in a stock swap
valued at about $3.4 billion and it integrated the companies' operations,
networks, and customer-care organizations shortly thereafter. Adobe now
owned Free Hand along with the entire Macromedia product line and in
2007, Adobe announced that it would discontinue development and updates to
the Free Hand program. Instead, Adobe would provide tools and support
to ease the transition to Illustrator. CS3 included interface updates to
the Control Bar, the ability to align individual points, multiple Crop Areas,
the Color Guide panel and the Live Color feature among others. CS4 was
released in October 2008. It features a variety of improvements to old tools
along with the introduction of a few brand new tools acquired from Free
Hand. The ability to create multiple artboards is one of CS4’s main additions
from Free Hand. The art boards allow you to create multiple versions of a
piece of work within a single document. Other tools include the Blob Brush,
which allows multiple overlapping vector brush strokes to easily merge or join,
and a revamped gradient tool allowing for more in-depth color manipulation as
well as transparency in gradients. CS5 was released in April 2010. Along
with a number of enhancements to existing functionality, Illustrator CS5's new
features include a Perspective Grid tool taken from FreeHand, a Bristle Brush
(for more natural and painterly looking strokes) and a comprehensive update to
strokes, referred to by Adobe as "Beautiful Strokes".
