Lynda.com Announces Release of Migrating from FreeHand to Illustrator CS3 Five Hours of Hands-On Tutorials on Switching Vector A
lynda.com, the leader in self-paced digital media and design training, today introduced Migrating from FreeHand to Illustrator CS3.
Coinciding with the CS3 updates, Migrating from FreeHand to Illustrator CS3 explores the intricacies of making a smooth transition to Illustrator CS3 from FreeHand. Instructor Mordy Golding approaches the lessons from the perspective of FreeHand users who want to work in Illustrator for small or large projects. The tutorials demonstrate the fundamentals of importing FreeHand files into Illustrator CS3 without losing detail, editing paths and changing object attributes, using advanced creative effects, and creating and editing vector graphics. Mordy breaks down Illustrator-specific tools using FreeHand terminology to make the switch as seamless as possible. Exercise files accompany this training.
“With Adobe’s recent launch of CS3, it became clear that Macromedia FreeHand would no longer be upgraded, causing understandable trepidation in loyal FreeHand fans. This title will help legacy FreeHand users migrate to the amazingly powerful new Illustrator CS3. Of importance is the great Adobe Illustrator CS3 support for Flash, as this was one of the key benefits of FreeHand,” says Lynda Weinman, CEO of lynda.com.
