Arrival of Phantasm CS version 2 |
|
Astute Graphics are pleased to announce the release of Phantasm CS version 2, a major upgrade to the critically acclaimed Adobe Illustrator color control plugin. Following on from Adobe's release of Illustrator CS3, Phantasm CS further integrates and compliments every designer, publisher and printer's workflow with a range of essential new tools and user-focused improvements. Significantly, Astute Graphics has been working closely with Adobe to ensure that Phantasm CS version 2 is fully Illustrator CS3 compatible on both Apple Mac (Intel and PPC) as well as Windows (XP and Vista). This is in addition to equally-updated versions which operate with Illustrator CS and CS2. Bringing a wealth of controls designed for professional users, from graphic designers to publishers and printers, Phantasm CS maintains its crown as the essential color tool of choice. |

High-end controls and workflow improvements |
|
A quick overview of the new options and associated controls:
To further emphasise Phantasm CS' professional credentials, all color Filters can now be automated using Illustrator's Actions system. This represents huge potential for power users who need to batch modify artwork or ensure that certain color control tasks are swiftly and faithfully repeated. With Illustrator CS3 came the new color experimentation tool "Live Color". Every care has been taken to ensure that the color workflow introduced with Phantasm CS compliments Adobe's new system as well as maintaining best interchangeability with Photoshop. Details of how all components work seamlessly together can be found in the Workflow table.
All these features are naturally in addition to the excellent range of color control tools already offered in version 1.5. These included Brightness/Contrast, Curves, Desaturation, Hue/Saturation, Invert, Levels and Shift to Color Filters and live Effects, the ability to load and save Photoshop-compatible color setting files and new object selection types.  |
