Adobe Illustrator
Adobe Illustrator is a vector graphics editing program developed and
marketed by Adobe
Systems Incorporated.
The very first version of Adobe Illustrator was developed during 1986,
released to public in January 1987, and was
only available for the Apple Macintosh.
Today, current versions of the program are available for PCs
using the Microsoft Windows operating system, and for
Apple Macintosh computers, but
in the past, older versions of software,
were once released (admittedly on a somewhat sporadic basis)
for Solaris and some other UNIX operating systems.
From its inception, Adobe Illustrator
has been based around the concept of Bézier curves as the main element of
documents - in fact degenerate Bézier curves are used to represent lines,
and the curves are even used to emulate circles and arcs.
Additionally, Adobe Illustrator has incorporated technologies derived
from PostScript and Adobe's
font technology. However, despite the sophisticated
technology behind the product, Adobe Illustrator has always been relatively ease
to learn and use, making it accessible and suitable for graphics and design
professionals who are not necessarily technical wizards.
Over time, successive versions of Adobe Illustrator have gradually been enhanced
with more and more features. For example, Internet-orientated features to support
web publishing have been added, as have advanced rasterization and PDF features.
Recent versions of Adobe Illustrator have even added capabilities for extrude
and revolving shades in 3D, thus allow you to use the program to create simple 3D
objects. Additionally, a relatively new feature known as "Live Trace" provdes
a powerful method of converting bitmap images into vector art
("vectorization").

Click Here | Product Description:
There are three choices for anyone wanting to create vector illustration on a PC or Mac--CorelDRAW 9, Macromedia FreeHand 9, and Adobe Illustrator 9. This latest release of Illustrator puts it on equal terms as far as version numbers are concerned; in every other respect, it far surpasses what the competition has to offer. The big issue for existing users has always been transparency. Because vector packages are not supported by PostScript, this lack of transparency has always been a problem. Illustrator 9 allows you to apply transparency to layers, groups, and individual objects, including bitmaps and type. Individual letters, words, or entire paragraphs can be made transparent; the text is not converted to paths and so remains fully editable. Illustrator 9 introduces new tools for Web authoring. Flash export options closely match those available in FreeHand 9, allowing you to easily create layer-based animations. Similar support is provided for the new SVG standard for Web vector images. There's also a Photoshop-style Web-optimization module for bitmap export. New lasso tools, improved integration with other Adobe products, live shapes, graphic styles, Web-safe RGB workflow, and better PDF integration complete the most comprehensive upgrade in Illustrator's history. --Ken McMahon, Product Description Adobe Illustrator 9.0 expands your creative freedom and enhances your productivity with its new Web graphics tools, versatile transparency capabilities, powerful object and layer effects, and other innovative features. Now you can use these fast, flexible tools to transform your creative ideas into sophisticated graphics for use on the Web, in print, or in dynamic media projects. |
