Tighter integration with Adobe Photoshop


    Move layered files between Photoshop and Illustrator more easily. Text editability has been improved because the two programs now share the same underlying text composition technology. Plus, multiple spot channels can be imported and 16-bit color data can be converted to 8-bit on import, so you no longer have to keep two versions of your original file. Also, you can link Photoshop duotone and tritone PDF images and print them accurately from Illustrator.
