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.

 Easy 3D extrusions

Create stunning 3D logos and artwork from any text layer, selection, or layer mask with the Adobe Repoussé 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.

 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.

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.

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.
