Still using Adobe® Creative Suite® 4 Design Premium software? Upgrading to CS6 Design & Web Premium lets you catch up on hundreds of creativity and production features introduced in CS5, CS5.5, and CS6 so you can deliver great work faster than ever.
Discover a host of high performance drawing, painting, pattern, and image manipulation tools designed to help expand your creative freedom.
Patch images with greater control using Content-Aware Patch, which enables you to specify the sample area from which it creates a patch.
Experience blazing-fast interactions when editing with key tools such as Crop, Transform, Liquify, and Puppet Warp. The Adobe Mercury Graphics Engine delivers unprecedented speed and responsiveness for a fluid feel as you work.*
Finesse details quickly with new and reengineered tools. Apply type styles, use vector layers to apply strokes and add gradients to vector objects, create custom strokes and dashed lines, quickly search layers, and more.

Work blazingly fast — even with processing-intensive effects such as blurs, glows, and drop shadows that used to slow you down. Access all the RAM on your system thanks to native 64-bit support on both Mac OS and Windows®.
Easily create seamlessly tiled vector patterns. Experiment freely with repeating patterns that can be edited at any time.
Convert raster images to editable vectors with a completely new tracing engine. Get clean lines, accurate fitting, and more reliable results without dealing with complex controls.
Apply gradients to your strokes — along the length, across the width, or within the stroke itself — all with complete control over gradient placement and opacity.
Crop images faster and more precisely using the hardware-accelerated, nondestructive Crop tool. Manipulate your images on canvas and see the adjustments live.
Quickly create photographic blur effects using a simple interface with on-image controls. Create tilt-shift effects, blur everything and then sharpen one focal point, or vary the blurriness between multiple focal points.

Enhance your images with improved Auto Curves, Levels, and Brightness/Contrast controls. Intelligence from thousands of hand-retouched images is built in to provide a better starting point for making adjustments.
Paint with lifelike brushstrokes to create expressive images. Blend a photo's colors, use bristle properties such as shape, length, and stiffness, or define multiple colors on a single brush and blend them into your canvas.

Work on up to 100 artboards of varying sizes in one Illustrator file — named, organized, and viewed the way you want.
Dynamically create and edit strokes with infinitely adjustable widths, precisely position and scale arrowheads and dashes, and finely control the scaling of art brushes along a path in Illustrator.
Draw shapes in accurate 1-, 2-, or 3-point linear perspective to create the look of realistic depth and distance.
Intuitively combine, edit, and fill shapes directly on your artboard without accessing multiple tools and panels.
Remove any image detail or object and watch as Content-Aware Fill in Photoshop magically fills in the space left behind. Match lighting, tone, and noise so it looks as if the removed content never existed.
Precisely warp or stretch graphics, text, or image elements to create unique new looks for your designs.
Get better edge detection and masking results in less time with the Quick Selection tool — even when you're selecting the trickiest image elements, such as hair.
Explore an almost endless variety of black-and-white looks. Use the integrated Lab B&W Action to interactively color images, create gorgeous HDR black-and-whites with greater ease and speed, and experiment with a variety of presets.
Use familiar tools to easily apply your creative expression to an expanded world of design applications.
Edit video to include in your digital publishing projects. Quickly combine clips and stills using transitions, audio, and effects such as pan and zoom.

Create eye-catching 3D artwork more easily with intuitive on-canvas and in-context scene editing. Easily drag shadows into place, animate 3D objects, give 3D objects the look of sketches or cartoons, and more.

Use InDesign to create media-rich publications for iPad and other tablet devices. Add interactive elements such as pan and zoom, slide shows, audio, and video. Upload to Adobe Digital Publishing Suite† for distribution.
Efficiently manage multiple layouts based on a single set of content. Use Alternate Layout to create multiple versions in one document. Use Liquid Layout for a head start adapting content for a new page size or orientation.
Link content within or across InDesign documents, so that changes (including interactivity) made to the parent text or object are applied automatically to all linked children objects.

Apply accessibility rules in InDesign — including tab and read-aloud order — and then check, adjust, and validate accessible PDF documents in Acrobat X Pro.
Use Fluid Grid Layout to define styles and rules for adaptive web layouts that scale and look great on screens of virtually any size.

View website designs as they would appear on screens of different sizes and resolution, all within a single, easy-to-use panel.

Take advantage of support for the latest web standard updates. Bring pages to life with CSS3 transitions, and test pages with a WebKit rendering engine that supports display of HTML5 content.

Create form fields directly within InDesign before you export to PDF. You can also assign the tab order in InDesign using the Articles panel.
Stay focused on creativity with productivity-boosting improvements in Photoshop Extended, Illustrator, InDesign, Dreamweaver, and Fireworks.

Help protect against losing your work during unexpected shutdowns. Auto-save your edits without interrupting your progress, and keep working while saving even the largest Photoshop files in the background.

Generate geometric pattern fills more easily with new Scripted Patterns.

Easily migrate your presets, workspaces, preferences, and settings so you can experience Photoshop in the same way on all your computers.
Automatically recompose an image as you resize it, preserving vital areas as the image adapts to the new dimensions. Get the perfect image in one step without cropping and retouching.
Gracefully navigate to any area of an image with ultra-smooth zooming and panning. Maintain clarity as you zoom to individual pixels, and easily edit at the highest magnification using the Pixel Grid.

Experience more than 50 creativity and productivity boosts directly requested by users.

Efficiently edit layers, swatches, brushes, artboards, and more directly in panels without intermediate dialog boxes.

Sample colors faster and more precisely using an expandable color spectrum in the Color panel. Quickly copy and paste Hex values into other applications.
Create and align vector objects precisely on the file's pixel grid for clean, sharp raster graphics that look great on any screen. Use text anti-aliasing options for individual text frames.

Interact with gradients directly on your objects and control the transparency of individual colors in gradients and gradient meshes.
Draw behind elements, disregarding stacking order. Draw or place an image inside an element, instantly creating a clipping mask.
Use the Blob Brush in Illustrator to draw a stroke that generates a clean, filled, vector shape as you sketch, even when strokes overlap.
Experience numerous refinements for crafting beautiful graphics and illustrations in fewer steps and less time.

Set frames that grow to accommodate additional text, using simple parameters. Grow and shrink frames automatically for headlines, callouts, or other variable content.
