Adobe Creative Suite 2 Workflow

It's pretty difficult to be an expert in any one product within the Creative Suite, let alone all five productssix if you're counting Bridge, and you probably should. This book isn't meant as a substitute for any or all of the thousand-page tomes out there about the intricacies of each product (which may or may not provide you with answers you're looking for). Instead, this book is designed to get you thinking about how the Creative Suite products interact with each other. You'll learn which products to use in certain situations, and how to shift your focus from the product you know best to the entire Suite (and become much more productive in the process). The focus of this book is on learning about optimal workflows:

How to move between the products and when

Why sometimes it's better to use Photoshop for certain tasks

Why sometimes those tasks are better done in Illustrator

How to take advantage of the powerful integration capabilities between the products (such as keeping files in their native formats when transferring them from one application to another)

When creating a PDF is the right choice, and when to use Acrobat for the task rather than the application you're working in

The Creative Suite isn't just a bundle of Adobe creative products; it's a product in and of itself. Once you start using it that way, you'll become immensely more efficient and realize all sorts of capabilities you never knew were there.

This is the book that treats the Creative Suite as what it is: the ultimate creative product.
