Express ideas faster and accelerate key project workflows. Save time using dozens of features that make quick work of everyday tasks in Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Acrobat. Streamline critical project workflows such as creative reviews through integration with CS Live online services.2,3

Who uses Design Premium?Graphic designers use Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium to design and develop content for a wide range of media, including print, web, interactive, and mobile devices.

Graphic designers are versatile professionals who apply their visual communication skills to a rapidly expanding array of projects. With the explosion of new media and devices, from the Internet to smartphones, tablets, e-readers, and Internet-enabled televisions, designers face tremendous pressure to continually adopt new tools and learn new techniques to efficiently and consistently deliver high-impact content across a wide variety of media. Design Premium eases these challenges by providing a set of integrated tools for editing images, creating vector graphics, laying out print and web pages, authoring digital publications such as digital magazines and eBooks, crafting interactive designs, delivering content for mobile devices, and more.

Designers also face obstacles to preserving the integrity of their designs when collaborating with technical colleagues such as developers. Communicating design intent to web, interactive, and application developers can be challenging—designers and developers speak different languages, and important nuances of designers’ vision can be lost in translation. Design Premium enables designers to express their vision directly using robust tools that draw on their existing skills and don’t require them to master writing code. Now designers can preserve the quality and integrity of their designs much further into the development process, handing off content without fear that the final result will look very different from what they envisioned. And for some types of projects, designers can even finish the work themselves.

3Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium What’s New

Top new benefits in Design Premium

Improved support for HTML5 and CSS3 in Dreamweaver CS5.5Enhancements to Dreamweaver CS5.5 coding tools and workflows enable you to work more efficiently to produce websites based on HTML5 and CSS3 specifications. Code hinting and code completion, updated Live View, and updates to the CSS panel help you design and develop websites that look outstanding and function well whether viewed on a desktop computer, tablet, or smartphone.

• HTML5 and CSS3 code hinting and code completion. Now you can quickly write code that meets the very latest web specifications thanks to rich HTML5 and CSS3 code hinting, code completion, and in-context prompts for required values for new CSS3 properties. Code hinting for some vendor-specific rules, such as -webkit, -moz, and -o, is included for full browser support.

• Updated Live View. Live View in Dreamweaver CS5.5 supports popular CSS3 attributes such as border-radius (rounded corners). You can render the border-radius property, as well as the transform and transition properties, on most elements in Live View.

• Enhanced CSS panel. The updated CSS panel supports editing of new CSS3 properties and enables you to quickly parse and edit complex sets of styles. New interface elements simplify adding CSS3 properties such as border-radius.

Applying popular CSS3 attributes such as the border-radius property for rounded corners is easy in Dreamweaver CS5.5. On devices such as smartphones with limited processing power, objects with properties defined in CSS load faster than placed images.

Multiscreen Preview in Dreamweaver CS5.5Dreamweaver CS5.5 provides tools for rapidly adapting existing websites and applications for multiple devices using the same code base. Enhancements to the Multiscreen Preview panel enable you to quickly and easily preview your designs for smartphones, tablets, and desktop screens side by side, and run your code in real time. You can also preview custom screen sizes and styles for each device.

The Multiscreen Preview panel helps you create CSS media queries and display separate style sheets for each device. Design View has been updated to read your media queries. As you resize Design View, the corresponding media query is applied, enabling you to switch between styles in real time. Simply resize Design View for the desired device, and then craft your design. The new Advanced Media Query Manager provides a robust way to generate and apply multiple media queries to a page or a site-wide media query file.

4Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium What’s New

Expanded platform and device support in Flash Professional CS5.5Flash Professional CS5.5 makes it easier to reach audiences on the latest Flash Platform runtimes, including Flash Player 10.2 and Adobe AIR 2.6; you can also reach audiences on Android™, iOS, RIM BlackBerry, webOS, and Adobe Digital Home devices.

• Deliver to desktop computers. Take advantage of the ubiquity of Adobe Flash Player within browsers and of Adobe AIR® on desktops to deliver content that displays more consistently across operating systems and browsers.

• Deliver to mobile devices. Deliver content that plays back on millions of devices worldwide, and reach audiences on smartphones that run Android and webOS. Use the Adobe AIR for iOS Support tool, included with Flash Professional CS5.5, to compile ActionScript® bytecode into native iPhone application code, which can be distributed via the iTunes store.5

• Deliver to tablets. Produce immersive content optimized for tablet devices. Take advantage of touch input and gesture-based actions that enhance readers’ experience.

• Deliver to Internet-enabled televisions. Extend the reach of your content with immersive experiences and applications that run on Adobe AIR 2.5 and Adobe Digital Home.

New templates, including those for AIR for Android, are available from the New From Template dialog box in Flash Professional CS5.5.

Greater precision and more creative options for interaction design in Flash Catalyst CS5.5Preparing content that displays optimally on screens of different sizes and resolutions is a continual challenge for designers. Flash Catalyst now enables you to deliver layouts that specify how objects respond when the application window is resized. Using on-object controls, you can specify how each object will move or stretch, and then preview the results by resizing the artboard directly within Flash Catalyst.

For designers who want to choreograph their own transitions between states, new animation options such as transformation point controls, auto-reverse, and font sizes within filter effects provide precise control. You can also save and reapply your custom transitions across effects and objects.

5Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium What’s New

Enhanced eBook authoring in InDesign CS5.5As eBook reading devices grow ever more sophisticated, InDesign lets designers keep pace. Create visually compelling eBooks that take advantage of advanced capabilities in devices such as the Apple iPad, Sony Reader, and Barnes & Noble nook.1

• Transform the eBook reading experience with compelling video and audio—whether it’s a soundtrack in a children’s book, a virtual-walkthrough video in a travel guide, or contemporary news footage in a history book. In InDesign CS5.5, add video and audio for eBook reader applications that support HTML5 video and audio tags.

• Deliver eBooks with images that resize automatically to look crisp on a wide variety of screens. Set conversion options for the entire document or for individual images when you export to EPUB format. You can also rasterize InDesign shapes, text frames, placed graphics, and groups created in InDesign so that they export as dynamically resizing images.

To make images resize automatically to fit difference

device screens, use the Object Export Options dialog box in

InDesign. Select Custom Conversion, and then choose

Relative To Page Width from the Size menu. (If you don’t want the

image to resize, choose Fixed from the Size menu instead.) The image size automatically adjusts

to the page width in different layouts (right), displayed here on

two different devices in Adobe Digital Editions—digital reading

software from Adobe.

An intuitive user interface in Flash Catalyst CS5.5 enables you to easily

set constraints—settings that determine how your content will adjust when viewed

on screens of different sizes—for the entire artboard or for individual components.

6Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium What’s New

• Save time and improve consistency by using styles to automate text formatting. Now you can map paragraph and character styles directly to HTML, EPUB, and PDF tags to help ensure that styles you define in InDesign are correctly exported to the appropriate specifications. Drop caps, bulleted and numbered lists, and tables are handled automatically, and other text formatting appears as desired in exported documents. For more advanced workflows, you can add CSS class names and enter your own tags.

• Use the new Articles panel to provide a coherent reading experience when you export a complex layout—for example, a textbook or children’s picture book—that includes a variety of elements such as images, captions, sidebars, and block quotes. Drag layout elements into the Articles panel to define the order in which they’ll export—without rearranging your InDesign layout.

Increased efficiency for delivering more accessible publications in InDesign CS5.5Use enhanced features in InDesign CS5.5 and Acrobat X Pro to help you deliver publications that meet Section 508 and WCAG 2.0 standards and improve accessibility for people with disabilities. In InDesign, apply features such as high-contrast colors and large-type display more easily, and more easily add, edit, and view alt text attributes associated with an image or object. For example, instead of creating new alt text, use alt text added to an image in Adobe Bridge or attached to an object imported from Microsoft Word. Also use the new Object Export Options dialog box to more easily add alt text directly in InDesign. When you’ve completed the accessible layout in InDesign, export it in PDF and then check, adjust, and validate it in Acrobat X Pro.

You can map styles to HTML, EPUB, or PDF tags in the Export Tagging pane of the Paragraph Style Options and Character Style Options dialog boxes. Though the tags don't affect the appearance of the layout in InDesign (upper far right, in color), they're mapped to the correct specifications when you export HTML, EPUB, or PDF documents for display in Adobe Digital Editions (upper right, in black and white).

Drag content from your InDesign layout (right)—

including images, threaded text, or separate text blocks such as

captions and block quotes—into the Articles panel (above).

Then drag them so that they appear in a logical reading sequence when exported.

7Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium What’s New

Next-generation interactive documents in InDesign CS5.5Create innovative digital magazines, newspapers, annual reports, manuals, and other documents that incorporate eye-catching elements such as 360° rotation and panoramas, using new Folio Producer tools in InDesign CS5.5 and integration with Adobe Digital Publishing Suite.4 These interactive documents can be played back on a range of tablet devices such as Apple iPad, RIM BlackBerry PlayBook and a wide variety of Android tablets including the Motorola Xoom.

8Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium What’s New

Powerful new and enhanced PDF features in Acrobat X ProPrevail over deadlines with professional PDF workflows using Adobe Acrobat Pro. Automate routine tasks, streamline document reviews, and assemble a variety of file types into a polished PDF Portfolio.

• PDF Portfolio customization. Easily customize PDF Portfolios with included layouts, visual themes, and color palettes. Add corporate logos and colors to reflect your branding. Import custom PDF Portfolio layouts and themes developed by third-party designers and developers.

• Action Wizard. Automate routine, multistep tasks using the new Action Wizard to more easily create, manage, execute, and share Actions. An Action is a sequence of steps that can be applied to a single PDF or batches of files.

Impress a client or prospect with an easy-to-create, customized PDF Portfolio. Brand new

in Acrobat X Pro, visual themes provide many options for quickly changing the look and feel

of a PDF Portfolio—without custom coding or writing scripts. You can also create custom

visual themes using Adobe Creative Suite applications such as Illustrator, and easily

share your visual themes with others.

In the Acrobat Tools pane (left), the Action Wizard enables you to create new Actions and edit existing Actions. The Edit Action dialog box (above) enables you to drag steps into an Action, or sequence, that you can apply repeatedly in order to save time.

9Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium What’s New

• Optimized viewing mode. Maximize your screen for optimal reading and presentation of PDF files with the new Reading Mode. Menus and panels disappear, and a transparent floating toolbar appears, to help you navigate PDF files more easily.

• Improved web experience. Open and view online PDF documents from within websites with a streamlined loading and viewing experience.

Still using Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium?If you’re considering upgrading to CS5.5 Design Premium, remember that you’ll benefit from all the new features described above, as well as all the new features in CS5 Design Premium. They include:

Features for exploring new creative realms

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

• Realistic painting effects with Photoshop Extended. New tools enable you to paint in much the same way you would using real-world brushes and paints. With a new Mixer Brush tool, new bristle qualities, and new ways to blend colors, Photoshop Extended offers virtually endless possibilities for creating outstanding expressive effects, from enhancing photographic images in unusual ways to painting directly on a blank canvas.

• Fluid vector painting with Illustrator. Enjoy the editability and flexibility of vectors along with the experience and expressiveness of painting in natural media. Paint freely with the vector-based Bristle Brush to produce lifelike brush strokes. Each brush stroke creates a path that can be edited just as easily as if it had been created with the Pen or Pencil tool in Illustrator. A preview window shows you how the Bristle Brush and its brush stroke will look.

• Easy 3D extrusions with Adobe Repoussé in Photoshop Extended. Repoussé is an ancient metalworking technique for embossing artwork on the surface of metals such as gold, silver, copper, tin, and bronze. Inspired by this technique, Photoshop Extended offers a powerful new Repoussé feature for creating attention-grabbing 3D content for print or interactive content, animations, or immersive environments.

Features for expressing your ideas faster

CS5 Design Premium includes dozens of features designed to reduce the number of steps needed to complete common tasks. Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Dreamweaver—the tools you use every day—all offer numerous enhancements to help you make fast work of your next project.

• Truer Edge selection technology in Photoshop Extended. Take advantage of a faster way to extract subjects from their backgrounds and create realistic composites. New intelligent selection technology offers better edge detection and faster, more accurate masking for complex subjects, such as hair. Automatic color decontamination helps you eliminate background color around the edges of a selection, resulting in more seamless compositions when placing extracted subjects on new backgrounds.

• Content-Aware Fill in Photoshop Extended. Remove any image detail or object and watch as Content-Aware Fill magically fills in the space left behind. This breakthrough technology matches lighting, tone, and noise so it looks as if the removed content never existed.

• Beautiful strokes with Illustrator. Whether you’re designing a complex infographic or a simple icon, finessing the details of strokes is an essential task. Illustrator includes several powerful features that make working with strokes more precise and flexible, including variable-width strokes, precise arrowheads, dashed-line controls, stretch controls for brushes, and brushes with corner controls.

10Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium What’s New

• Simplified object selection and editing in InDesign. Whether you’re designing a document that will be printed, viewed onscreen, or both, everything from aligning and distributing space between objects to adjusting corner effects is faster and easier in InDesign. Perform multiple transformations with a single tool, adjust the white space between objects, create corner effects directly on a frame, and create grids by simply pressing arrow keys to add columns and rows.

• Multiple page sizes in a single InDesign document. Streamline design and production of projects with multiple page sizes by including different page sizes in a single InDesign document. Use the Page Selection tool to select and resize individual pages, applying resizing options in the Control panel. Easily share design assets by applying the same master page to different-sized layouts while controlling the placement of master elements in each individual layout.

• More efficient CSS-based designs with Dreamweaver. If you’re an aspiring or novice web designer who prefers designing pages to writing code, you’ll appreciate CSS Inspect. CSS Inspect lets you lay out web pages based on Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) more easily—without diving into code or using additional software. For designers who are new to web design or who want to deepen their knowledge of CSS, CSS Inspect makes it much easier to learn about and work with CSS-based web pages.

• Convenient visual browsing and asset handling with Adobe Mini Bridge. Take advantage of a customizable panel in Photoshop Extended and InDesign to sort, filter, and drag files directly into your artwork or layout without ever leaving your design software.

Features for extending the reach of your designs to digital media without writing code

When designers collaborate with developers to produce interactive content, they sometimes have to compromise their creative vision. With CS5 Design Premium, designers can work on interactive content and media-rich projects themselves using familiar tools, skills, and design processes—and without touching a line of code.

• Interactive content with Flash Catalyst. Built specifically for designers, Flash Catalyst enables you to create interactive content without writing code. Transform artwork created in Photoshop, Illustrator, or Fireworks into high-quality interactive content. Design simple projects, such as an interactive portfolio or product brochure, that you can complete yourself in SWF format. Or tackle more complex projects such as a user interface for a web application built in collaboration with a developer.

• Dynamic digital documents with InDesign. Add attention-grabbing interactivity, animation, video, and sound to your digital documents and presentations in your familiar design software. InDesign CS5 includes support for FLV video and MP3 audio files, as well as dozens of motion presets that make it easy to create animations. Export a document or presentation from InDesign to SWF format for playback in Adobe Flash Player or a web browser. Or export a document as an interactive PDF file, complete with video and sound. Five panels introduced in InDesign CS5 provide intuitive controls that enable you to create a wealth of dazzling effects.

• Deliver crisp graphics for web, interactive, and mobile designs in Illustrator. Create resolution-independent vector graphics that appear sharp in Dreamweaver, Flash Catalyst, Flash Profes-sional, and Fireworks—and on virtually any screen. With Illustrator, you can create clean, crisp artwork that aligns accurately on pixels, letting you confidently take your artwork to PNG, JPG, GIF, or other raster formats. Precise controls streamline artwork creation for the web by auto-matically correcting drawn artwork to make sure it aligns to the pixel grid, eliminating blurred edges and “split pixel” lines. Text anti-aliasing options provide exact control over the appearance of different fonts and type sizes, and each text frame can have its own anti-aliasing setting for optimal readability.

• Superior text layout and typography in Flash Professional. Now your typography can look as good onscreen as in print with a text engine in Flash Professional that preserves the type you create in InDesign. When you hand off InDesign pages to Flash Professional CS5, the text flows into threaded text frames, making it easy to do last-minute edits. Also enjoy advanced typo-graphic control directly within Flash Professional CS5, including advanced text styling and advanced text-layout control.

11Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium What’s New

• Simplified mobile-content design with Fireworks and Device Central. Easily experiment with designing for smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices. Integration between Fireworks and Device Central makes it easy to set up a Fireworks project and preview it in Device Central.

Features for maximizing your design time by streamlining critical non-design tasks

CS5 Design Premium integrates with Adobe CS Live online services2,3 to help you bring efficiencies to design and production activities.

• Accelerated reviews through integration with Adobe CS Review. Enjoy faster, more efficient creative reviews with CS Review, an Adobe online service2,3 that integrates with components of CS5.5 Design Premium. Initiate shared reviews with just a few clicks from within Photoshop, Illustrator, or InDesign—simply click Access CS Live in the Application bar to open the CS Review panel. Then create a new review, add your layout or artwork, and invite colleagues or clients to view it online. They receive an email invitation with a link—one click and they see the document displayed in their web browser.

• Web-page preview with Adobe BrowserLab. Adobe BrowserLab, another CS Live online service,2,3 is a fast, easy solution for previewing web pages on leading browsers and operating systems—on demand. Whether you’re creating web pages yourself or previewing pages that you’ve designed and handed off to a developer for production, BrowserLab enables you to ensure that your work will appear as you intend.

Still using Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium?If you’re considering upgrading to CS5.5 Design Premium, remember that you’ll benefit from all the new features described above, as well as all the new features introduced in CS4 Design Premium. They include:

Features to help express your ideas faster

• Content-Aware Scaling in Photoshop Extended. Automatically recompose an image as you resize it, smartly preserving vital areas as the image adapts to the new dimensions. Get the perfect image in one step without time-intensive cropping and retouching.

• Smoother panning and zooming and fluid canvas rotation in Photoshop Extended. Navigate gracefully to any area of an image with new, ultra-smooth zooming and panning. Just click to smoothly turn your canvas for distortion-free viewing at any angle—no more tilting your head while painting and drawing.

• Multiple artboards in Illustrator. Create files containing up to 100 artboards of varying sizes and display them any way you want—overlapping, side by side, or stacked. Save, export, and print artboards independently or together. Save a selected range or all artboards as a multipage PDF file.

• Blob Brush tool in Illustrator. Sketch with a brush that generates a single clean vector shape, even when strokes overlap. Draw naturally, using the Blob Brush tool together with the Eraser and Smooth tools.

• Customizable Links panel in InDesign. Find, sort, and manage all of your document’s placed files in the customizable Links panel. View attributes that are most critical to your workflow, such as scale, rotation, and resolution.

• Live Preflight in InDesign. Preflight while you design. Continuous preflighting alerts you to potential production problems in real time so you can quickly navigate to a problem, fix it directly in layout, and keep working.

• PDF Portfolios in Acrobat Pro. Assemble layouts, drawings, images, video, audio, and other files into a single dynamic PDF Portfolio. Customize the PDF Portfolio interface using professionally designed templates and interactive navigation.

• Enhanced preflighting in Acrobat Pro. Control costs and reduce errors more effectively. Provide preflighting instructions and custom PDF export presets. Automatically validate files and easily fix issues from faulty hairlines to transparency handling, and more.
