You can use a touchpad or other touch-enabled device, as well as your mouse or stylus. Click on any character and the selected character now sports a bounding box ready to use for your transformations. Now you can use the new Touch Type Tool to interactively manipulate the size and position of individual characters, while the text object stays editable. Transform Characters in Text (with Touch support)īefore Illustrator CC, when we wanted to scale, rotate, or reposition the individual characters within a text object, we were limited by numeric input in the Character panel, or first had to cut, then paste the letters as separate text objects to use the Transform tool, but no more.
Sharon Steuer painted this image with brushes she created (top) after extracting them from her original photos inside Photoshop. Once you’ve taken all this into account, you’ll enjoy this expansion to your arsenal of brushes, letting your creativity flow in new directions. You’ll have the most control if you scale the image in Photoshop first, but you can scale it on the artboard, then choose Object > Rasterize, picking a lower ppi if necessary, if you don’t want to scale it before entering Illustrator.
Illustrator limits the size to roughly a million pixels for pattern and art brushes (pixel width X pixel height), and where possible attempts to downsample for you or pops up the warning that you must resample. Your raster images must also be embedded, which can rapidly degrade Illustrator’s redraw performance.
