It’s official! Steve Forde has been named the new product manager for Adobe After Effects.

Vector based graphics are scaleable – allowing you to easily resize or zoom in without loosing image quality. If you’re a CS5 Photoshop or Illustrator user, Adobe Ideas is a great companion. Here’s the best part:
- create a sketch in Adobe Ideas and save it as a PDF file
- email it from your iPad/iPhone
- open this PDF is Illustrator or Photoshop for further editing!
