This is something for designers! Terry White presents new CS5 features on Adobe TV. Some of the new features are really cool and Terry is an awesome presenter. I watched:
- Illustrator (Best feature: new line-width/stroke options.)
- Photoshop (Best feature: new selection/edge tools)
- InDesign (Best feature: new Illustrator-like layer/elements palette.)
By the way:
A good part of the new features concern Flash and interactive electronic content. Though I don’t like Flash and can understand some of Apple’s motives to not let Flash run on iPads/iPhones, it is very interesting to see Adobe’s very design centric approach to user interfaces created in CS5/Flash. I can imagine Adobe’s tools to be attractive to print publishers who want to put their content on mobile devices. Apple and Adobe might eventually become direct competitors as software platform providers for an emerging market for electronic publishing on iPads and other slate devices.
Addendum:
Obviously Adobe is already working on a native publishing solution for the iPad: »Introducing WIRED Magazine on iPad«. IMHO that looks much more promising than any Flash-based approach.
