iStockphoto introduces Adobe CS6 plugin with a one click comp replace and sizing feature

PRESS RELEASE

iStockphoto today launched an incredibly simple and intuitive pluginfor several programs in the new Adobe^® Creative Suite^® 6 (CS6), that enables designers to search and directly download images within the programs without interrupting their workflow. A one-click comp replace feature automatically exchanges comp images with purchased images, perfectly resized and positioned within the working page layout or design.

Adobe Photoshop^®, InDesign^® and Illustrator^® users can now easily search iStock’s millions of files, download multiple comps during the creative process, finalise their designs and then simply replace the desired comp with the purchased image in exactly the right spot and in the right dimensions, saving time and increasing productivity.
