Adobe Design Interface (cont.)5

Application bar, Tools panel, and other panels are arranged the same way in all applications.

The Tools panel at the left side of the window organizes tools.

A panel dock at the right side of the window organizes groups of panels.



Adobe Design Interface (cont.)6

The CS5 Design Standard applications display open documents as tabbed document windows.

The active document’s tab is light gray; inactive document tabs are darker gray.

The Arrange Documents palette allows you to display multiple documents in the workspace.

Workspaces and Zoom7

A workspace is an application window with a specific arrangement of panels.

The Workspace Switcher on the Application bar is available in all Adobe Creative Suite programs.

To zoom in on a specific area, use the Zoom tool to drag a marquee around the area, as shown in the image at the right.



Understand File Formats

Adobe Default File Extensions Graphic File Formats

8

Illustrator files are saved by default with the .ai extension.

InDesign files are saved with the .indd extension.

Photoshop files are saved with the .psd extension

GIF (Graphics Interchange Format)Used for graphics that have up

to 256 colors. Can include transparent areas.

JPG or JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)Used for continuous tone images

such as photos. JPG keeps file sizes low by

discarding some image data when the image is saved.



Adobe Bridge9

Adobe Bridge is one of the Creative Suite shared programs.

Bridge is a file management utility that has the capability to show thumbnail images of a wide variety of content.

Access Bridge by clicking the Bridge button on a program’s Application bar or by using the Browse in Bridge command on the File menu.



Adobe Mini Bridge10

Photoshop CS5 and InDesign CS5 also offer the Mini Bridge.

Mini Bridge is a panel that allows you to access files and folders as in Bridge, without leaving the application.

Use this panel to preview files, or drag files from the panel to the workspace.

About Adobe Illustrator12

Start a new drawing in Illustrator using the Welcome screen or the File > New command.

Illustrator displays the New Document dialog box.

This illustration shows the dialog box with all options (including advanced options) displayed.

Lesson 1: Exercise 4


Bitmap vs. Vector13

Illustrations produced in drawing or painting programs create either vector graphics or bitmap images.Vector graphics are created

using mathematical expressions called vectors and retain their detail and clarity if the graphic is resized.

Bitmap images are formed of tiny squares called pixels. Pixels remain the same size when a bitmap image is resized.

Rulers and Guides15

Display the rulers using the View > Rulers > Show Rulers command.

To display a horizontal guide, click on the horizontal ruler and drag downward to display the guide and then drag the guide into position.

Use the same process to drag a vertical guide from the vertical ruler.



Bounding Boxes and Anchor Points16

If an object is rectangular, the bounding box is the same dimensions as the object.

For an ellipse, line, or irregular object, the bounding box creates a frame around the object.

When bounding boxes are hidden, a selected object shows a colored path and small colored squares called anchor points.



More Drawing Techniques17

Rather than size an object as you draw it, you can display a dialog box and specify measurements and in some cases other options for the object.

Display a tool’s dialog box by selecting the tool and then clicking in the work area.



Paintbrush Basics18

Use the Paintbrush tool to draw a line that looks as if it has been brushed.

Paintbrush paths can have thick and thin areas such as those that would be created by a paintbrush.

Double-click the Paintbrush tool in the Tools panel to display the Paintbrush Tool Options dialog box.



Blob Brush19

Blob Brush tool paints like a brush (left) and creates a closed shape (right).

Anchor points can be adjusted with the Smooth tool for a smoother outline.

The Blob Brush can also create objects that intersect with other objects, sharing attributes such as fill and effects.

The illustration at right shows how a Blob Brush path has been merged with a star shape.



Fill and Stroke20

Select the Fill or Stroke box and then:Apply a color or other attribute.Restore default colors by

clicking the Default Fill and Stroke icon.

Click the Swap Fill and Stroke icon to switch fill and stroke attributes.

Eliminate the fill or stroke color by clicking the None button.

Use the Swatches and Color panels to apply color to fill or stroke.

Copy and Select Objects21

Illustrator offers an easy keyboard shortcut for copying an object:Select the object and hold down Alt while dragging the object.

Use the Selection tool to drag a marquee that touches all items to be selected.

The marquee does not have to surround the objects, merely intersect them at some point.



Align and Distribute22

When you select more than one object, the align and distribute options become active in the Control panel.

Or, use the Align panel to select alignment and distribution options.

You can also align to a key object (the middle, blue-bordered object in the illustration at right).

Work with Text25

Click to place an insertion point to type text on a single line.

Or, drag with the Type tool to create a type container to hold text.

Use options on the Control panel to change font, size, and style.

All Creative Suite applications offer similar text formatting options.



Lesson 2

Work with Paths and Layers

26


Modify Stroke Attributes27

The Stroke panel has four sets of options: The top section lets you change

stroke weight, apply a cap option, choose a corner style, and control where the stroke sits with relation to an object’s path.

Use the second section to apply dash formatting to a path.

Use the third section to apply arrowheads of various types to paths.

The last section lets you choose a profile for a path.


You can adjust a dashed line so that corners or line endings do not fall in a gap.

You can adjust a dashed line so that corners or line endings do not fall in a gap.


Variable Profiles and Width Tool28

Variable Width Profiles can be accessed from the Stroke panel or the Control panel.

These profiles can add visual interest to most paths, include line segments and object strokes.

Use the Width tool to adjust the width of a path by dragging at a specific point.

Use the Width tool on any path created with the Line Segment tool, Pencil tool, and shape tools such as Rectangle or Star.



Eyedropper and Direct Selection Tools29

Use the Eyedropper tool to copy attributes from an unselected object (such as the yellow box) to the currently selected object (the unfilled ellipse).

Use the Direct Selection tool to select a single point on a path or a single line segment.

Selected points or segments can be dragged to reshape an object.



Draw Behind and Inside30

Use Draw Behind to draw an object behind another, selected object.

This tool makes it unnecessary to use Arrange options to reorder objects.

Use Draw Inside to place one object inside another object.

The two objects are linked so they stay together, and each is separately editable.



Select Objects from Groups31

Use the Group Selection tool to select a single star from the grouped object.

Click the Group Selection tool again to select all items grouped with the first item selected.

Hold down the Ctrl key while clicking the left mouse button to select an object behind other objects.

Continue to click to select objects further back in the stack.



Pen Tool32

To create a line or shape, specify a starting point and direction and then click and/or drag the pointer at a new location to continue the line.

To create a closed shape, return the Pen tool pointer to the first endpoint.

Use the Direct Selection tool to move an anchor point on a curve.


To turn off the Pen tool after drawing one or more lines, select another tool, such as the Selection tool.

To turn off the Pen tool after drawing one or more lines, select another tool, such as the Selection tool.


Use Brush Libraries33

Illustrator offers many brush libraries that you can open to select a variety of calligraphic, scatter, art, and pattern brushes.


Libraries are available for many Illustrator features, including swatches, gradients, and graphic styles.

Libraries are available for many Illustrator features, including swatches, gradients, and graphic styles.


Modify Brush Formats34

You can modify the default formats of any brush in the Brushes panel.

The five types of brushes offer different options for customizing.

The illustration at right shows options for a scatter brush.



Use Live Trace35

Use Live Trace to create a vector object from sources such as GIF images or raster objects created in Photoshop.

Live Trace can reproduce not only outlines but the detail inside the object.



Work with Layers36

A layer is a level in the stacking order that can hold one or more objects.

To the left of the layer name is a small thumbnail that shows the objects on the layer.

To the left of the thumbnail is a right-pointing arrow that, when clicked, expands the selected layer to show the objects on the layer.


Click to expand the layer


Work with Layers (cont.)37

Clicking the target symbol at the far right of the layer name selects all objects on that layer and displays the colored selection square on the Layers panel.

Selecting an object in the work area will also select the layer on which it appears in the Layers panel.


Click to select all items on the layer



Dragging a layer’s selection square to another layer will move all objects from the original layer to the new layer.

To move a layer in the panel, click the layer to select it, hold down the mouse button, and drag the layer to its new position.

You can also move objects on layers to different positions by dragging.




By default, all layers and sublayers are visible.Click the visibility eye to hide a layer.Click in the empty visibility box to redisplay the

layer.

To prevent changes to a layer, you can lock it.Lock a layer by clicking the edit box.When a layer is locked, it cannot be selected or

edited.



Lesson 3

Work with Colors, Effects, and Styles

40


Color Models and the Color Panel41

The Grayscale Color panel shows 100% black (K) at the right end and 0% black at the left end.

The CMYK model shows the four basic ink colors—cyan, magenta, yellow, and black.

A spot Color panel displays only one color, similar to the Grayscale model.

The HSB model displays settings for hue, saturation, and brightness.



Opacity and Masks42

By default, colors are 100% opaque when applied from the Swatches panel or Color panel.

Use the Opacity box in the Transparency panel to adjust opacity.

Create an opacity mask by placing one object on another and adjusting its opacity to allow the artwork below to display in the top object’s shape.



Normal

Darken

Color Burn

Blending Modes43

You can also set a blending mode from the Transparency panel.

A blending mode combines the blend color of the current object with the base color of the underlying object to create the resulting color.



Shape Builder Tool44

Use the Shape Builder tool to merge shapes or portions of shapes to create complex objects.

Drag in the direction you want to merge to combine portions of an object into a single object.

Click on a region rather than dragging to break the object into separate shapes.

Erase a region by holding down Alt while clicking the Shape Builder tool on the area.



Paint a face using Live Paint

Bucket

Paint a stroke using Live Paint Bucket

Use Live Paint45

The Live Paint feature allows you to pour color into any portion of a Live Paint object.

First create a Live Paint object, and then use the Live Paint Bucket tool to paint faces and edges.

To control the flow of “paint,” use the Live Paint Selection tool to select and delete lines.



Work with Live Color46


Use Live Color to edit colors in an illustration.

In the Recolor Artwork dialog box, you can:Display colors in the current

illustration.Modify any color.Use a color wheel to edit colors

by changing hue, saturation, and brightness of any or all colors simultaneously.


Radial gradient (left) and linear gradient (right)

About Gradients47

A gradient is fill created from gradations of one or more colors.

Gradients may be radial, linear, or elliptical.

Use the Gradient panel to create and edit gradients.

Apply color to gradient stops, then move the stops to the desired location.

Opacity settings may be applied to gradient stops to allow background to show through.



Adjust color of gradient stop on the gradient bar

Change gradient angle with the Gradient tool

Adjust Gradients48

You can adjust gradient colors, stop position, and angle by editing directly on an object.


Gradient bar displayed on a linear gradient


Distort & Transform effects: Pucker & Bloat, Roughen, and Tweak

About Effects49

An effect is an attribute that changes the appearance of an object without changing the object itself.

The Effect menu offers Illustrator effects and Photoshop effects.


Stylize effects: Feather and Inner Glow


Use the Effect Gallery50

Choosing a Photoshop effect opens the Effect Gallery dialog box, where you can select from a number of categories and specify settings.



Stroke, fill, and stroke and fill graphic styles

Graphic Styles51

A graphic style is a group of appearance attributes that can be saved and named.

A graphic style can consist of a fill, stroke, pattern, gradient, transparency setting, or effect.

Use the Graphic Styles panel to create new styles, display how an object will look with a style applied, and delete styles.



The Appearance Panel52

The Appearance panel shows appearance attributes applied to objects, groups, and layers in an illustration.

You can hide any attribute using the eye symbols.

Use the Appearance panel to adjust object attributes such as stroke, fill, and opacity.

Effects can also be applied and modified from this panel.

Lesson 4

Work with Drawing and Selecting Tools in Photoshop CS5

53


Create a Photoshop Image54

Unlike other CS5 applications, Photoshop does not display a Welcome screen when the program starts.

To create a new image, use the File > New command to open the New dialog box.



Photoshop Tools55

Many Photoshop tools are the same as those used in Illustrator.

Photoshop also has tools on hidden toolbars.

In Photoshop, it is often necessary to select a tool, specify settings for the tool, and then use it.



Work with Colors in Photoshop56

By default, the foreground color is black and the background color is white.

To choose a new foreground or back-ground color, click the appropriate box in the toolbox.

Photoshop also offers a Color panel and a Swatches panel, like Illustrator.

Rest the pointer on a swatch thumbnail to see the swatch name.


Background color

Foreground color


Photoshop Brushes57

Use the Brush Preset menu to select size and hardness of a brush.

Scroll down the menu of brushes to find various diameters and brush tips that provide special effects.

The Mixer Brush lets you apply color as if with wet paint, mixing colors on the canvas.

The Mixer Brush can also be used to mix colors on images for a painterly effect.



Draw Lines and Shapes58

Photoshop offers some familiar tools for drawing lines and shapes on the toolbar stored below the Rectangle tool.

After selecting the Custom Shape tool, select from many different shapes using the Custom Shape picker on the options bar.

When using any of the shape tools or the Pen, select the desired drawing mode before drawing the shape.

Shape layers mode creates both a vector object and a fill layer, as shown in the Layers panel.



Insert Text59

Photoshop always adds text (type) on a new layer in the image.

Type objects are vector objects rather than raster images.

Select options such as font, font size, font style, and color in the options bar before typing.

After inserting text, click the Commit current edits button to finish the task.


Use the Move tool to move a type object to the desired location on the image.

Use the Move tool to move a type object to the desired location on the image.


Layers Panel60

The background layer always appears at the bottom of the Layers panel, and it cannot be moved to a different position in the layer list.

If the background layer contains the entire image content, as shown to the right, it is good practice to copy the layer and then hide the original background layer.



Eraser Tools61

Photoshop’s Eraser tools let you remove portions of an image. Use the Eraser tool to remove or

change pixels on a layer using brush or pencil strokes.

Use the Background Eraser tool to erase pixels to transparency on any layer.

Use the Magic Eraser tool to delete areas of color by clicking on a specific color, as shown at left.



Make Selections62

Use the Rectangular Marquee and Elliptical Marquee tools to make simple rectangular or oval selections.

Hold down Shift if desired to make perfect squares or circles.

Use the Lasso tools for freeform selections.The Lasso tool makes a selection with a

freeform shape.The Polygonal Lasso makes a selection of line

segments and angles.The Magnetic Lasso (right) makes a selection

that follows the contours of an object.



Work with Selections63

You can manipulate a selection in a number of ways:Delete the selected area.Move or copy the selection.Transform the selection by

scaling, rotating, skewing, distorting, and so on.

Feather the selection.Apply a fill or stroke to the

selection.Save the selection to be loaded

for future use.



Magic Wand and Quick Selection Tools64

Click the Magic Wand tool on an area of color to sample it and select all similar colors.

To select a color throughout an image, deselect the Contiguous option on the options bar.

Adjust Tolerance to select more or fewer pixels.

The Quick Selection tool allows you to “paint” a selection using a brush.

Use the Add to selection and Subtract from selection buttons to refine the selection by adding to it or deleting from it.



Refine Selection Edges65

Use the Refine Edge dialog box to improve a selection outline.Choose a different view mode to

see the selection against a different background.

Turn on edge detection to refine according to hardness of edges.

Select adjustment options to smooth, feather, adjust contrast, or shift edge.

Choose an output option to decontaminate colors and create a new selection or layer.



Lesson 5

Correct and Modify Images

66


About Image Adjustments67

Options for adjusting image appearance:Adjustment options on the

Image > Adjustments submenu alter the actual pixels of an image.

Adjustment layers apply adjustments to a layer that will affect all layers below it; modifying the look of an image without actually changing it.

Whenever possible, adjustment layers should be used rather than the Image > Adjustment commands.



Apply an Adjustment Layer68

Select the desired adjustment from the Adjustments panel.

A new adjustment layer appears in the Layers panel.

Adjust settings as desired using the Adjustments panel options.

Use the buttons at the bottom of the Adjustments panel to:Return to the Adjustments panel

list.Turn visibility on or off.View the previous state.Restore default settings.



Use Correction Tools69

Commonly used correction tools:The Red Eye tool corrects the

flaw created when a flash bounces off a retina.

The Healing Brush tool samples an image area and then paints the sample over another area.

The Spot Healing Brush tool corrects by sampling the pixels around it and creating a matching fill or texture.

The Patch tool uses an area as a patch to repair another similar area in the image.


The Patch tool covers an image

flaw


Use Correction Tools (cont.)70

Content-aware corrections are new in Photoshop CS5.

Make content-aware corrections by:Selecting Content-Aware as a

setting for the Spot Healing Brush.

Selecting an area of an image, choosing Edit > Fill, and specifying Content-Aware in the Use list.



Use Correction Tools (cont.)71

Use the Clone Stamp tool to sample an area in an image, and then to paint all or part of the duplicate in another location.

Use the Clone Source panel to set options for how the clone appears, such as size and rotation.

Use the History panel to view the image at a particular point in the correction process or quickly reverse a whole series of changes by dragging the slider upward.

The History panel by default tracks 20 states during the current work session.



More Image Adjustments72

Use the Photo Filter adjustment to correct color balance and temperature.

Use the Exposure adjustment to correct flaws such as over- or underexposure.

Use the Vibrance adjustment to increase saturation (right), while minimizing color clipping.

Use Image > Adjustments > Shadows and Highlights to correct for backlighting.



Dodge, Burn, and Sponge73

Use the Dodge tool to reduce exposure or lighten shadows, midtones, or highlights in an area of an image (see top left).

Use the Burn tool to increase exposure or darken shadows, midtones, or highlights in an area of an image (see bottom left).

Use the Sponge tool to enhance or reduce the color saturation in a particular area in the image.



Blur, Sharpen, and Smudge74

Use the Blur tool to paint blurring onto an image to soften edges (top right).

The Sharpen tool can help enhance detail, particularly in an edge where two colors abut in the image.

Use the Smudge tool to distort and reposition content in an image, as if the image is a puddle of paint that you drag your finger through (bottom right).



Crop an Image75

You can crop to any selection (top left), or you can use the Crop tool to draw a rectangular marquee that defines the crop area.

By default, the crop marquee displays the Rule of Thirds grid (bottom left) to help you crop attractively.

Drag the crop marquee handles and then commit the change to crop the image.



Resize an Image76

Use the Image Size dialog box to adjust image size and resolution.If you change pixel dimensions

first, document size changes but resolution does not.

If you change document size first, pixel dimensions also change and file size increases or decreases.

If you change resolution first, only pixel dimensions change; you can then adjust them to change document size.



Other Image Transformations77

Content-aware scaling allows you to adjust image size without cropping.

This feature recognizes some content and preserves it from scaling, or you can create a selection of content to preserve.

Puppet Warp allows you to rearrange content of an image by dragging at specific areas on the image.

Set pins as desired in a warp mesh and then drag the pins to pull portions of the image into new positions.



Lesson 6

Explore Advanced Image Techniques

78


Path created using a Custom Shape

Work with Paths79

A path is a vector-based outline used to add content or save selections in an image file.

To create a path:Draw a line or shape with the

Paths button on the options bar active.

Convert any selection you make in an image to a path.

Use the Pen tool to draw a path.Work with paths using the Paths

panel.



Fill Layers and Layer Styles80

Fill layers can consist of solid color, a gradient, or a pattern.

The fill can be confined to a selected area; fill layers can be easily edited when changes are necessary.

Layer styles are special effects applied to a layer to modify the look of the layer’s contents.

Layer styles include options such as shadows, glows, overlays, and even an option that makes layer content look embossed.



Use the Filter Gallery81

The Photoshop Filter Gallery is similar to the Illustrator Effects Gallery; more than one filter can be selected in this dialog box.



Masks and Channels82

A mask protects one area of an image while leaving other areas available to be modified.

Any selection is also a mask, as shown at right.

Saving a selection stores it as a channel

Photoshop’s channels display information for each color in an image.

Saved selections such as Flower and Vignette at left are stored as alpha channels.

Each channel can be viewed or hidden to allow you to work with colors separately.


Mask created by selection


Types of Masks83

A layer mask is used to conceal part or all of a layer.

Create a layer mask by selecting an area and then clicking the Add layer mask or Add a pixel mask button.

A clipping mask uses pixels on one layer to clip another layer into the shape of those pixels.

The layer to be clipped must be above the layer that provides the clipping shape.



Types of Masks (cont.)84

A vector mask is created using a vector object such as a shape or Pen path.

A vector mask looks similar in the Layers panel to a layer mask.

Use the Masks panel to modify masks:Adjust density and feathering.Refine the mask edge.Use Color Range to refine a

mask selected by color.Use Invert to display everything

except the mask.



Optimize Images for the Web85

Use the Save for Web & Devices dialog box to optimize images as GIFs, JPGs, or PNGs.



Color Management86

By default, color management is turned on in the Adobe Design Creative Suite so that all applications in the suite share the same color settings.

To adjust color settings for an application, click Edit > Color Settings to open the Color Settings dialog box.

To adjust color settings for the suite, click Edit > Creative Suite Color Settings in Adobe Bridge.



Lesson 7

Work with Basic Layout Tools in InDesign CS5

87


Start an InDesign Document88

Adobe InDesign is a page layout application that allows you to create a wide variety of sophisticated publications.

Use the New Document dialog box to set up a new document. The Facing Pages option is

selected by default. Choose the page number to start

on.Select the desired number of

columns.Specify settings for margins,

bleed, and slug areas.



Document and Ruler Guides89

Document guides are color-coded to differentiate them: the slug guide is a light blue, the bleed guide is red, the document border is black, margin guides are magenta, and column guides are violet.

You can drag guides from rulers just as in Illustrator.



Insert Frames90

Text and graphics in an InDesign publication are controlled using frames.

Create a text frame by drawing with the Type tool; position the I-beam pointer where you want to begin the frame and drag to create the frame.

Create a graphic frame using the Rectangle Frame tool, the Ellipse Frame tool, or the Polygon Frame tool.



Work with Frames91

Add text to a frame by clicking in the frame and typing.

Or, use File > Place to import a text file. If there is more text than room in the

frame, the overset indicator displays.

Use the File > Place command or Bridge to import and place a graphic file.

Or, use the loaded graphic cursor to draw a frame as you place the file.

Use the content grabber to adjust the graphic in the frame.



Apply Fill and Stroke92

Frames may appear to be filled with white, but they are really transparent.

A stroke is the border around the outside of a frame or shape.

To apply fill or stroke color, use options on the Control panel or the Color and Swatches panels.

You can apply color to text much as you apply it to the fill or stroke of a frame.



Live Corners and Text Wrap93

The Live Corners feature, new in InDesign CS5, lets you round one or all corners of any rectangular object.

Click the yellow square and then drag the diamond to adjust corner roundness.

Text wrap options on the Control panel:Wrap around bounding box wraps text

around an object’s bounding box.Wrap around object shape wraps text

around the shape of the object . Jump object wraps text above and below

an object.



Pages Panel94

The Pages panel shows each page in a document as a thumbnail.

Facing pages are designated as recto (right) or verso (left).

InDesign CS5 lets you work with multiple page sizes in a single document.

A master is a template backdrop on which you can place elements that should repeat on each page.


You can modify the default master or create new masters for specific page layouts.

You can modify the default master or create new masters for specific page layouts.


Thread Text and Insert Page Numbers95

Every text frame has an in port and an out port that show how text is threaded.

To thread overset text, click the overset indicator in one frame and then click in another frame.

To insert a current page number, click Type > Insert Special Character > Markers > Current Page Number.

On master pages, the page number marker displays using the letter of the master, such as A or B.



Layers Panel96

The InDesign Layers panel assigns a color to each layer, as in Illustrator.

In InDesign CS5, the Layers panel now displays all objects on a layer in a stacking order so they can be rearranged easily.

The Layer Options dialog box allows you to make a number of decisions about layer display as you create the layer.

Work with Swatches99

The InDesign Swatches panel displays only six CMYK colors, plus black and white.

You can create new swatches, tints, or gradients to add to the Swatches panel.

Symbols in the panel identify the color mode and spot vs. process colors.



Transparency Effects100

Transparency effects are similar to Illustrator effects and Photoshop layer styles.

Use the Effects panel to apply transparency effects to the object as a whole, to the stroke only, to the fill only, or to text.

Use the Effects dialog box to specify settings for transparency effects.

Current effects applied are listed in the lower-left corner of the dialog box.



Work with Master Pages101

Modify a document’s master pages by:Changing the master nameCreating new masters from

scratch or based on other masters

Apply masters to pages by dragging the master to a page or use Apply Master Pages on the panel menu.

To override a master page element and make it editable, press Shift + Ctrl and click on the element.



Lesson 9

Text Flow and Find/Change103

When you place text, you can choose among these text flow options:Use the loaded text icon to click in a frame or drag to create a frame.Hold down Shift to display the autoflow icon and create any necessary

frames or pages as the text is placed.Hold down Alt to display the semi-autoflow icon that will fill a frame and

then reload so you can fill the next frame.


Use Find/Change to locate and change object formats, text and text formats, and characters (glyphs).

Search the current story, the entire document, or all documents and use options such as Whole Word to limit what is found.


Work with Fonts104

InDesign uses outline fonts such as TrueType and OpenType.

You can select font, font style, and font size on the Control panel with Character Formatting options displayed or from the Character panel.

If InDesign cannot find the font specified, it displays a warning.

Use the Find Font dialog box to locate or replace a font.
