Improvements in use

Retina display adaptation (symbols redrawn), the open dialogin Windows Explorer shows Illustrator files with preview image. Touch gestures: On screens with touch, you can zoom in with two fingers, for example, or with graphics tablets. The drawing area can also be rotated with touch or scrolled back and forth.

New colors with Kuler - with web connection + synchronization

Adobe Kuler is already available in CS6, but in CC all color schemes are created/managed online and can be synchronized in Illustrator with a click. Kuler is there to choose suitable colors for layouts, because not everyone finds it easy to choose appealing colors.

Placing several images

Place several images (preferably via File>Place, otherwise they will all be inserted too large via Drag&Drop ). You can use the arrow key to select different images for insertion (Esc deletes the image) as long as the images are attached to the mouse pointer. With File>Place I can also choose beforehand whether to link or not.
