To overcome this, Adobe has added a new option called 'Protect Tones'. Now, while modifying the skin of a person, select the option 'Protect Tones', which lets you apply a closer-to-real skin color.
Another related change is with the keys used to modify brush size. Earlier versions, used bracket keys for making brush size smaller or bigger. In CS4, the process takes lesser time as you just need to press Alt + right mouse click and drag to reduce or enlarge.
InDesign CS4 The popular layout software has been upgraded with a live 'Preflight' option. This is really useful for magazine and newspaper designers. Currently, the 'Preflight' check happens for PDF files that have been created. In case of errors, such as an image in RGB settings or with a low resolution, the designer has to go back to InDesign, replace with the high resolution CMYK color image and create the PDF again.
At the time of sending the magazine or newspaper to the press, this is very tedious and time consuming. The live 'Preflight' window shows errors while the image or the text is being inserted in the layout. It also points out text that is exceeding a text box. So, basically all the errors are alerted for during the layout.
Another new feature in InDesign is 'Conditional Text'. Using this feature you can create different versions of the same document. Suppose you are working in a large organization and want to circulate a blank form where different depts would fill different parts. Some parts could contain sensitive data. The software provides you the functionality to hide the lines that contain sensitive data and then circulate amongst others. This saves time as you need not make multiple copies.
You can also apply, create or modify colors with the new 'Kuler Panel' or create a new color online, inside the 'Kuler' web site and import it into InDesign CS4. You can also export a layout as an XLF file, open it in Flash with full quality and create an animation with the help of Flash tools.
