Hello :) Latest Beta Build 30.5.41 is now available on CCD.We’re excited to introduce two new features in the Illustrator (Beta) app. Both are available now for testing — your feedback will help shape these features before general availability.Remove BackgroundQuickly isolate subjects in raster images without leaving Illustrator.
