The Best New Features of Illustrator CS6

Can't wait to trap a gradient stroke!

[gnubler]

Ditto.

That's new? Or am I thinking of Photoshop?

[Duffy]

Can kind of do it in InDesign, do not remember any kind of control like this in any product before.

Must be making all of the designers happy!

and still no true mixed ink swatch? Why should I care about a gradient stroke? It just gives fools more tools to break my rip with. Those patterns ought to be a treat too, I hope you can still "expand" them so they will behave like something appe can understand.

true - you know some idiot will make a 8x10 wall paper background of a portion and repeat it like 5000 times, good times for the RIP indeed!

I tend to get the packaging jobs that are full 28.375x40.5 coverage of some ridiculous pattern.

Gradient strokes look amazing, a lot of potential there. I am also taken by the hi fidelity photo as this is one of the most crisp vector transitions that I've seen. There is a lot of awesome stuff in CS6 I will say that.

Gradient strokes? I see the potential for me to have a gun in my mouth. Give a child a knife and he will cut himself. Goddamn Adobe...

Oh HMJ...please say it ain't so...

IMHO, that article missed the best new feature, which is 64 bit architecture support. If you've got the ram, it can be utilized to make effects, rasterization, go a heck of a lot faster. Makes the "image trace" feature actually useable and previews in almost real time.

We got the ram. Serious Ram.

You can never have too much RAM. Always max it out, and then, add more.

16 gb of apple ram in this box, still seems slow
