Creative tools bring you the power to design - Part 1

Sophisticated vector drawing controls
Explore multiple design options and generate intricate graphics using robust creative features. Industry-standard drawing tools and powerful effects allow you to experiment freely and quickly achieve just the look you want.

Blob Brush tool
Create a single, clean vector shape as you sketch, even when strokes overlap. Use the Blob Brush tool together with the Eraser and Smooth tools for natural vector painting.

Eraser tool
Remove areas of artwork with the Eraser tool as easily as you erase pixels in Adobe® Photoshop® software, and enjoy complete control over the width, shape, and smoothness of the erasure.

Precise positioning
Position objects and anchor points with expert precision using the Align, Transform, and Control panels along with newly refined Smart Guides. Align to the artboard, key object, or crop area with visual feedback, thanks to on-object readouts.

Flexible brushes
Add flair to paths with customized brushes. Choose from calligraphic, scatter, art, and pattern brushes, or make your own custom brush. For tablet users, pressure sensitivity is even more subtle and controllable in Adobe Illustrator® CS4.

Smooth tool
Reduce or eliminate unwanted bumps in a path using the Smooth tool. Use together with the Blob Brush tool and the Eraser tool to sketch naturally and refine your shapes to perfection.

Live Trace
Quickly and accurately convert photos, scans, or other bitmap images to editable and scalable vector paths. Define the look of your artwork with a variety of creative options and enjoy full control over the complexity of the resulting paths.

Path editing
Remove, connect, and split paths — and convert anchor points — using options in the Control panel. Select points more easily with rollover enlargement and toggle the visibility of your curve handles.

Point alignment
Align and distribute anchor points with one click using options in the Control panel. It's as easy as aligning and distributing objects.

Pen tool
Draw with precision using the Pen tool, which provides full control over anchor points and Bezier curves.

Pencil tool
Draw onscreen as you would on paper using the Pencil tool. Smooth out paths by simply drawing a new line near the path you want to alter.

Stroke options
Define solid and dashed lines in the Stroke panel. Specify weight, miter limit, the style of joins and caps, and whether the stroke is inside, centered on, or outside the path.
