[ADOBE® CREATIVE SUITE® 5.5 DESIGN PREMIUM] [USING CS REVIEW TO SIMPLIFY THE CREATIVE PROCESS] Hello. My name is Terry White, Worldwide Design Evangelist for Adobe Systems, and it's my pleasure to walk you through CS Review. CS Review is a part of the CS Live set of web-based services that are integrated into your Creative Suite products, whether they're Creative Suite 5 or Creative Suite 5.5. And again, these products--or the products that are integrated-- are InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, and even Premiere Pro for video, so how do you get to your CS Live services? Well, there's a menu in those respective applications in the upper right-hand corner, and you can sign in with your free Adobe ID. Once you're signed in, you can go to your CS Review panel in your respective applications and with any document open or video open, you have the ability to submit it for review by your clients, colleagues, and coworkers. So what I'm going to do is go ahead and create a new review for this one, and I also have the ability to send it right off the bat to a shared workspace. So if there are colleagues that I work with or my art director that I need to review things on a regular basis, I can send it to that shared workspace and they immediately have access to it. So we'll click OK. We get the ability also to dictate which page this will go up for the review, so I want pages 1-3, and note that I have the ability to choose the quality. That's because it's not actually sending the entire InDesign file up; it's sending a high-resolution, high-quality preview that I can even zoom in on or my clients and colleagues can zoom in on to make changes or to make comments for the files or the parts they would like changed. Once that review is up, it will take me over to my browser and actually show me the review online, the way my clients and colleagues will see it as well. So once it takes me to the review, the other thing is, again, I said it was high quality, so I have the ability to zoom in on it and look at that typography. It's very crisp, very clean, even on my web browser. Now, let's share it. I've already seen the document. I know what it looks like. I would love others to review it and tell me what they think, so we'll send it over to Mr. Wallen and I'll just type a personal message here. And we'll go ahead and share it and the beauty of this is it's sending that notification directly from the system. I can also see that Mr. Wallen has joined the review and he's actually viewing the document, and I can even see that he's making comments, but I don't have to wait here for the comments to come in. I can actually head back over to InDesign and keep working because as long as I have the CS Review panel open or if I go check it, it will show me in real time any comments that are being made. So he says that he likes the cover. I have the ability to reply to that and say, "Thanks," and we'll just go ahead and save that comment back, and again, anyone else looking at the review will see his comment and my reply back and even the fact that he approved it. I also see that he made a comment on page 2, so I can jump to page 2, and it says, "Please change to rain." I have no idea what he's talking about, but I can click and actually see a preview of his comment, but again, I may not remember where that is in a document or which instance he's talking about, so I have the ability to show the comment or go to the comment directly inside the InDesign document. And again, this is what sets CS Review apart from any other review process or service that you're using today. Now, not only can I see the comment that he's proposing, but I can go ahead and make that change as well, and once I make the change, I also have the ability to send that change up as a new part of the review. So now, not only will it keep the original 3 pages for people to see what the progression has been, but it will also keep or show my changes as additional parts of the review. Now that I'm going back to the review inside of the browser-- and again, that was my option to do that-- the reason I did that is because I wanted to show you that once all of the comments and parts of the review have been made, I also have the ability to export it as a PDF, fully intact with all the comments and the entire transcript of what has happened. Once that PDF has been exported, I'll actually be able to look at it, and again, go through the pages, see the markup, and more importantly, see the comments and everything that has happened from all the reviewers. So as you can see, CS Review is an integral part of the review process and again, as a designer, I would not want to be without it. Thanks for your time. My name is Terry White.
