<B>Efficient, powerful page design with Adobe InDesign CS3</B>
- Finer transparency controls. Adjust transparency and blending modes globally on entire objects, or independently on strokes, fills, and content.
- Creative effects. Apply new visual effects, such as inner glow or bevel and emboss, using an interface that's consistent with Adobe® Photoshop® software to specify offset, angle, and other options. Apply effects independently to an object's stroke, fill, and content.
- Gradient feathers. Create beautiful effects by applying masks that contain gradients so the objects fade into the background. Customize options such as gradient angles and fade rates, all within Adobe InDesign® CS3.
- Productivity enhancements. Perform a variety of tasks more efficiently using new and enhanced productivity features, including Multi-file Place, Quick Apply, faster frame fitting, and the visual Pages panel.
- XHTML export. Enable multiformat publishing, including print-to-web workflows, by exporting styled InDesign content as XHTML. Edit the exported content in Adobe Dreamweaver® CS3 software and automatically format it using cascading style sheets.
- Professional typographic controls. Compose beautiful typography using professional controls including Paragraph Composer, OpenType fonts, drop caps, glyphs, and optical kerning and margin alignment.
- Comprehensive styles. Create consistent designs and speed up production by saving graphic, text, and frame-level formatting attributes as styles for text, objects, and tables. Efficiently apply and globally update object, paragraph, character, table, and cell styles; organize styles in groups; and share styles with others.
- Smart text handling. Control your text with intelligent text-handling features including the ability to import styled text from Microsoft Word files, apply complex text wraps around objects, and comprehensively replace fonts.
- Full-featured tables. Create richly formatted tables. Import tab-delimited text files and styled Microsoft Word or Excel tables, or build tables in InDesign. Apply a wide variety of formatting options manually or using new table and cell styles.
- Robust long-document support. Maintain consistency and streamline the production of long documents using advanced bullets and numbering, running headers and footers, and synchronized master pages.
- Reliable prepress and printing. Get accurate, consistent, and reliable results every time you print using sophisticated preview capabilities, exporting reliable Adobe PDF files, and sharing custom presets.
- Flexible XML workflows. Use XML rules to dynamically generate documents with formatting and graphics based on imported XML, and apply XSLT style sheets when importing or exporting XML content.

- Advanced compositing. Create more accurate composites by automatically aligning multiple Photoshop layers or images based on similar content. The Auto-align Layers command quickly analyzes details and moves, rotates, or warps layers to align them perfectly, and the Auto-blend Layers command blends the color and shading to create a smooth, editable result.
- Enhanced Vanishing Point with 3D support. Edit in perspective on multiple surfaces — even those connected at angles other than 90 degrees — with the enhanced Vanishing Point, which also lets you measure in perspective; wrap graphics, images, and text around multiple planes; and output 2D planes as 3D models.

Process raw images with increased speed and superior conversion quality using the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in, which now adds support for JPEG and TIFF formats; new tools including Fill Light and Dust Busting; compatibility with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom™ software; and support for over 150 camera models.
- Flexible layers. Composite images, text, and effects on hundreds of layers for extraordinarily sophisticated results. Organize layers with up to five levels of nesting, and save them in different combinations as layer comps.
- Smart Objects. Perform nondestructive scaling, rotating, and warping of raster and vector graphics with Smart Objects. Even preserve the editability and scalability of vector data from Adobe Illustrator CS3 software.
- 3D compositing and texture mapping. Easily render and incorporate rich 3D content into your 2D composites — even edit textures on 3D models and immediately see the results. Import, view, and interact with 3D models created in Adobe Acrobat® 3D software as well as AutoCAD, Maya, and other modeling applications.
