What’s new in Version Cue CS2
In addition to enhanced performance and reliability, here are some key new features in Version Cue CS2:
Integration with Adobe Bridge
View Version Cue projects, work with versions, and make groups of alternates, all
from one central place. From Bridge, you can search for and view all Version Cue files without opening individual
Adobe Creative Suite components. You can manipulate files directly in Bridge to avoid delays as files open or as the
components start up.
Alternates
Alternates allow you to leverage an asset and take your designs in a different direction. For example, if
you want to radically transform a photo that is currently used in a project, but you don’t want to alter the original,
you can create an alternate and work with it instead. Use alternates, in addition to versions, to manage your assets.
See “About Version Cue alternates” on page 115.
Version Cue PDF Review
Host online PDF reviews from your own computer or another Version Cue Workspace. You
can include in the review any PDF file in the project, and use the Automatic e-mail generation to quickly invite users
to the review. Review comments are collected in the Version Cue Workspace where all reviewers can see and
reference them as the review progresses.
Ability to manage non-Adobe files
Store non-Adobe files, such as text documents, schedule spreadsheets, and
billing forms, in a Version Cue project. You can also create versions of non-Adobe files. See “To save a version of a
non-Adobe file” on page 111.
