New features
Creative
• Gradient and Bitmap Fills and Transparency on Outlines (see p. 234)
Get even more creative with your object outlines! Apply linear,
elliptical, conical, and bitmap fills and transparency around shapes
and text frames for eye-catching design.
• Colour Scheme Designer (p. 229)
Create your own schemes from colour spreads based on accepted
colour theory (Monochromatic, Complementary, Triadic, and
more). You can add suggested colours automatically, or mix your own
colours to create the new scheme.
Ease of Use
• Enhanced Layers (see p. 47)
Objects and groups now display under their layers in the new-look
Layers tab. Great for selecting, reordering, naming, and managing
text, graphics, and other objects in more complex layered designs.
• Lasso Selection (see p. 64)
The Lasso Tool selects specific objects in complicated designs more
easily. Simply drag around the "target" object to include in selection.
Use Alt-drag with the Pointer tool for the same effect.
• Hover-based indication of Selection (see p. 63)
For use in more complex multi-object page designs, objects "glow" on
hover over to indicate selectability.
• Easy Object Rotation (see p. 77)
Once selected, objects can now be rotated using a "lollipop" rotation
handle, preventing accidental rotation.
• More powerful Master Page control (see p. 41)
Assign multiple master pages to your page for even more flexible page
design. For more design freedom, promote master page objects to your
page, making them detached and available for independent editing.
