Manufacturer description

Adobe Illustrator CS3 software allows you to create sophisticated artwork for virtually any medium. Industry-standard drawing tools, flexible color controls, and professional type controls help you capture your ideas and experiment freely, while timesaving features such as easier-to-access options let you work quickly and intuitively. Improved performance and tight integration with other Adobe applications also help you produce extraordinary graphics for print, web and interactive, and mobile and motion designs.

Product summary

The goodThe good: Live Color; streamlined interface.

The badThe bad: Still no multipage support; grouping objects forces them all to the same layer; can't manipulate multiple Bezier handles.

The bottom lineThe bottom line: Though it remains an excellent vector drawing tool, there's not a lot in Adobe Illustrator CS3 to compel CS2 users to upgrade.
