Just about everything feels faster and more responsive.
  • Pattern Creation: Easily create seamlessly tiled vector patterns. Experiment freely with different types of repeating patterns that can be edited at any time for maximum design flexibility.

  • Gradients on Strokes: 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.
  • Inline Editing in Panels: Efficiently edit names in layers, swatches, brushes, artboards and other panels directly in the panels themselves without using intermediate dialog boxes.
