today we're going to be looking at a Adobe illustrator CC 2018 updates for you
to use in your graphic design workflow
what is that people it's Tom with satori graphics the home of graphic design content another graphic
design tip video today we're looking at Adobe Illustrator CC 2018 updates for you
to use on your graphic design projects and your workflow so this video today is
totally cleared towards Illustrator CC and if you don't actually have CC then
you know I don't think you can be privy to the adobe illustrator 2018 updates
in today's video but if you do have CC and you have an update to the
illustrator yeah go ahead and open up the Creative Cloud app and you're gonna
be informed as to what updates you actually have available to you so as you can see here
I can update Photoshop and many other programs but you need to make sure you
close the program so you can actually activate the update I have a few cool
functions to show you today but there was a slightly earlier update with the
puppet transform tool illustrator and I've already showed that on this
channels I'm not gonna included today as well the first new cool function Adobe
Illustrator 2018 relates to the anchor points and the pen tool handles thanks
to the new updates we can now adjust the size of the anchor points and the
handles which is really really helpful to do this go ahead and open up
illustrator preferences and locate the selection and anchor display
in the new debilitated updates for CC we have a slider that would change the size
of the anchor points and the handles so
as you can see now in the square here the anchor points are enlarged as well
as the pen tool handles for me I personally set them in between the
maximum under standard size the majority of my work so that is the first update
for Adobe Illustrator 2018 let's check out the next one adobe has given us a
very handy properties window where we can now have a quick access to specific
tools and functions this will relate to the current object or the design that
you're actually working on so I open up the properties window and illustrator CC
2018 and either Salinas logo here you can see the window stamped specific
information on this design he gives me vector coordinates where location on the
graphics and I can quickly add a stroke to my design as well as increase the
stroke weight I can me reflect the design and add effects and they're
really so much more essential functions here in this window and it allows you to
access them all in QuickTime
what do you think of this specific update Let me know in the comment section
below if you think is handy and if you actually already use it in Adobe
Illustrator 2018 so the last function in today's video I'm going to show you guys
the new feature Adobe isalud relating to importing PDF files now let me go ahead
and import PDF of multiple pages we can select specific pages to upload we can
of course flick through the preview viewer and then type in exactly what
pages to open so I'm gonna choose pages 1 through 4 for my magazine layout then
also import it into this traitor we have multiple options at the top here we can
image trace we can embed which is super helpful and also we can edit the
original artwork so that was a quick video showing you guys the new features
