Hi everyone, 

We're excited to announce that Adobe Illustrator's latest update (version 27.3) is now available for download via Creative Cloud Desktop. This release offers a range of new features, including the ability to adjust the lighting on 3D objects, as well as improvements to Image Trace, Intertwine, and 3D Wireframes.

Adjust the lighting on 3D objects using multiple lights

You can now incorporate up to ten light sources onto your 3D model and manipulate their angles to effectively depict the time of day and atmosphere in your creation. Additionally, you can enable your object to cast multiple shadows for a more authentic appearance.

Reveal the structure of 3D objects using wireframes

View your 3D model as a wireframe for a better understanding of its internal framework and to concentrate on its proportions, angles, and viewpoints. With your object as a wireframe, adjustments to its 3D attributes are effortless.

Enhancements to Image Trace

Illustrator offers an improved Image Trace experience by automatically selecting the appropriate tracing preset based on the art type, which includes High Fidelity Photo, Low Fidelity Photo, Sketched Art, Line Art, and Logo. Additionally, it enhances the tracing results for small-sized images.

 

 

Improvements to color settings

Illustrator's color settings have been upgraded with the following features:

*Illustrator retains the most recently used color mode, allowing you to maintain your preferred color scheme every time you open it.
* The Gradient panel now reflects the color mode selected in the Color panel instead of starting with Grayscale.

Improved pan, zoom

With the latest updates to Illustrator, you can expect faster and more responsive performance when panning, zooming, and scrolling through your projects. Enjoy an improved workflow as you navigate your designs with ease, without any lag or delays.

Sample colors using the Color Picker

The Color Picker in Illustrator provides a convenient way to select colors. By using the eyedropper tool within the feature, you can quickly sample colors from any location on the canvas. Check out the "Select colors" section in the Illustrator help documentation for more information on how to make the most of this feature.

Locate linked or embedded files on the computer

In Illustrator, finding a file that has been placed in a document is made easy by utilizing the Links panel. Simply access this panel to quickly locate the file on Windows explorer (Windows) or Finder (macOS), depending on the operating system being used.

For information on how to locate files on your computer, see Manage linked and embedded files.
