Creative Suite 3 Design Standard (IT) Win32 Educational Design with essential tools
Take your designs from concept to completion with creative tools that help you easily express and output your ideas.

Efficient, powerful page design with Adobe InDesign CS3
- Finer transparency controls. Adjust the 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 on 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.
- Multi-file Place. Speed up document creation by importing multiple files at once from within InDesign or by dragging them in from the desktop or Adobe Bridge CS3. Preview selected files as you place them in any order or location in your layout.
- Productivity enhancements. Perform a variety of tasks more efficiently using new and enhanced productivity features, including Placed InDesign Files, Quick Apply, and faster frame fitting.
- Professional typographic controls. Compose beautiful typography using professional controls including the Paragraph Composer, OpenType® fonts, drop caps, glyphs, and optical kerning and margin alignment.
- Comprehensive styles. Create consistent designs and speed up production by saving text, graphic, and frame-level 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.
- 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 table and cell styles.
- Smart text handling. Control your text with intelligent text-handling features, including the ability to import styled text from Microsoft Word files, apply complex wraps around objects, and comprehensively replace fonts.
- 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.

Powerful digital imaging with Adobe Photoshop CS3
- Quick Selection and Refine Edge tools. Make selections in a snap. Loosely draw on an image area, and the Quick Selection tool automatically completes the selection for you. Then fine-tune your selections with the Refine Edge tool.
- Smart Filters. Add, adjust, and remove filters from an image without having to resave the image or start over to preserve quality. Nondestructive Smart Filters allow you to visualize changes without altering original pixel data.
- Advanced compositing. Automatically align 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. Take perspective-based editing to a new level with the enhanced Vanishing Point, which lets you create multiple planes in an image; connect them at any angle; and then wrap graphics, text, and images around them to create packaging mock-ups and more.
- Better raw-image processing. Process raw images with increased speed and superior conversion quality using the Adobe 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.
- Color-correction enhancements. Take advantage of precision color correction made faster and easier. Brightness/Contrast now provides better results from the same intuitive interface, and enhanced Curves controls let you make automatic adjustments with included presets or those you create; convert to black-and-white with point sliders; and use a histogram, color channel lines, and a clipping preview.
- Rich painting and drawing toolset. Create or modify images with a wide assortment of professional, fully customizable paint settings, artistic brushes, and drawing tools.
- Enhanced 32-bit high dynamic range (HDR) support. Create and edit 32-bit images, and combine multiple exposures into a single, 32-bit image that preserves the full range of a scene — from the deepest shadows to the brightest highlights. New image processing and alignment algorithms deliver superior results.
Inspired vector graphics creation in Adobe Illustrator CS3

- Control panel. Discover more options faster and free up screen space by accessing anchor point controls, clipping masks, envelope distortions, and more from the context-sensitive Control panel.
- Live Trace. Quickly and accurately convert photos, scans, or other bitmap images to editable and scalable vector paths.
