Got an idea for Illustrator???

Ability to select all instances of a color (and tints of a color) in a design and change them to another color (while maintaining tint percentages) without having to make multiple selections via the menu item. Take a look at Freehand for how this is done.

Truth told, if Adobe were to change their way of dealing with colors to be more like Freehand, I'd keep my entire workflow in Illustrator.

Ability to embed images from photoshop with spot colours eg duotones without them converting to CMYK instead of having to link them. It is really hard to work precisely with the low res link.

Why on earth do you limit the drawing space to only 120" x 120"? Quark limits their software to only 48" x 48". Most other software allows for huge art areas. This is a big limitation. I have to scale everything before I rip it.

It would be great to be able to work in L*a*b* color. My spectrophotometer is Lab. I am now familiar enough with the color space to where it would be of great use to me especially regarding precision color work.

Also, could you make the transform box consist of a check mark to determine whether we want proportional size adjustments vs separate height and width adjustments? Having to hit all those special keys for a proportional precision scale is the pits.

I don't know what you did with postscript in v9, but all the RIP makers that I know tell us to use v8 because v9 does something to the postscript. These RIP programs cost multiples of what Illustrator costs so I can't really just up and change RIPs like I can change Illustration software.

On another note, some help with SVG would be nice. Either do that in LiveMotion, GoLive or Illustrator. It's kinda tough figuring all that stuff out. Your SVG links on your web site are pretty good.............More SVG stuff!!!!!!!

Support for Multipage documents or multiple drawing boards in one file similar to freehand.

Feature list?

1. Spot color to Spot color Gradients.
(And NO CONVERTING to CMYK!)

2. Expanded Pantone Colors.
(Metalics, Pastels)

3. SPEED IT UP!!!
(Not Just wait for systems to get faster...)

Oh well, hopefuly I can give you some good ones..

Please add the high number Pantone colours(like PMS7459cvc) and make a pallette for the solid matte book.

Illustrator 10 Color Wish List

The Pantone libraries MUST be stored in a device-independent colour space (Lab ??)
Enabling soft proofing and color management (optionally) permits both Swatch Library and created art to simulate RGB or CMYK destinations. I believe if you simply copied the outstanding soft proofing features from Photoshop 6 you'd have it right.

Another option is to incorporate Pantone's (now defunct ?) ColorDrive product right into Illustrator 10 AND Photoshop 7. This will permit the creation and export of device-dependant Swatch Libraries right within the apps.

Please add full expert font support as in InDesign and
Photoshop 6.0 to Illustrator.

Thanks!
