Illustrator CS6 update for Creative Cloud Members

Adobe Illustrator CS6 update for Creative Cloud is now available. As we said when we launched Creative Cloud earlier this year, one of the biggest benefits for customers would be early access to the latest innovation from Adobe, including VIP access to new features in the desktop software. With this update to Illustrator, Creative Cloud members have access to three brand new features! Check out the Illustrator team blog for more information and videos on these features and how they can be used: http://adobe.ly/Orq9mI

The updates will reach you automatically next time the Application Manager/ Updater checks with Adobe.com. If you’re in a hurry, choose Help > Update.

These features are available in Adobe Illustrator CS6 for Creative Cloud members only. To join Adobe Creative Cloud, see Adobe Creative Cloud.

Gather all the files used, including linked graphics and fonts, into a single folder for quick hand-off. Choose File > Package to collect all assets in a single location. See Package Files.

Replace embedded images with linsk to their extracted PSD or TIFF files. Select an embedded image and choose Unembed from the Links panel menu or click Unembed in the Control panel. See Unembed images.

View and track additional information about placed artwork directly in the Links panel. See Links Information.

If you are interested in getting access to these features now, you can become a Creative Cloud member. See if you qualify  for a special offer.
