Adobe Illustrator has long been the choice for illustration professionals, designers, and anyone who wants to work with infinitely scalable vector graphics. Over the years it’s gained some highly impressive features, such as mesh tools for drawing photorealistic objects, perspective tools for taking the pain out of vanishing points, and much, much more. So, what can CS6 bring? Oh, just plenty of new features and an all-new interface.
The charcoal-gray interface, like Photoshop’s by default, gives Illustrator a more refined, professional feel. If it’s a little much, you can change the interface color via Preferences (unlike Photoshop’s theme-based approach). It’s a minor, but lovely touch. But the real thing you notice about Illustrator is its blazing fast speed. Mainly thanks to the Mercury Performance System and native 64-bit support, complex documents with meshes, gradients, and many points can be manipulated with relative ease. Redraw certainly seems snappier as well.
