Illustrator CS3

http://www.creativepro.com/story/news/25325.html
Illustrator CS3
Another part of the feature set not listed. Illustrator CS3
can open native Freehand 9,10 and MX(including Multi page) files
but you have to import Freehand 8 and below. Does this mean
Freehand is Dead? Only Adobe knows that one.Illustrator CS3
%26gt; Only Adobe knows that

%26gt; one.



I think we all know. It's just that a bunch of us are afraid
to admit it.

I have to admit that I fall into that category.
Little review over at macworld:
http://www.macworld.com/2007/03/firstlooks/illustratorcs3/index.php



Some highlights are:

Point level alignment

Better point selection tools

Better colour selections

Control Panel for many point/path operations



The new path editing adjustments make it sound more like
Freehand. Dealing with paths has always been the most frustrating
aspect of my switch from Freehand to Illustrator.
Has anyone heard if the new Illy will include multipage? If
not ,has anyone heard if Indesign will offer multisize/multipage?
If either application would offer multisize/multipage then life
might be liveable, especially if Illy has improved some of its more
annoying problems.

Nope on both fronts.... There is a plugin for InDesign that
does offer this functionality though.



However, not all is lost as Fireworks will offer
multipage/size layouts. That'll work for me and the rest of the web
design community. Not sure if that will work out for print artists
though since Fireworks doesn't live in CYMK colour space.



Cheers,

Why would they do that? Then they couldn't sell you Indesign.

Fireworks? Really? That's odd. Potentially useful, i suppose.
Have any info

on that?
