Building on tools introduced in Illustrator 9.0, Adobe Illustrator 10.0 delivers integrated tools for laying out Web pages and creating superior vector- or raster-based Web graphics. Exercise your creative freedom with new live distortion options that let you bend, twist, warp, and otherwise distort design elements while retaining their editability. Add realistic-looking lens flares to your artwork that are fully editable with the new flare tool. Adobe Illustrator 10.0 also adds numerous new features that help you produce quality artwork in record time.

Produce graphics for the Web and other emerging media, like wireless devices, using symbol tools that easily create repeating graphics and keep file size small. Illustrator 10.0's image map generates URL links quickly and easily. New slicing options create object-based slices that update automatically if you make changes. You can also custom optimize slices in a Web layout and even specify CSS layer options when exporting sliced HTML pages. Improved export support for SVG and Macromedia Flash files, as well as other enhancements to existing features, further streamline workflow.

A variety of viewing settings allow you to preview in real time how elements will be rasterized and look on the Web, which text and strokes will overprint or be converted to outlines, and more. You can also control anti-aliasing of text using a new rasterize live effect. New path direction options in Illustrator 10.0 offer better consistency with Photoshop. With full support for data-driven graphics and tighter integration with other Adobe applications, Illustrator 10.0 comes packed with practical features that automate complex tasks and help you meet impossible deadlines.
