Lynda Releases Migrating from FreeHand to Illustrator
How to Transition Smoothly from FreeHand to Illustrator
lynda.com, the company specializing in self-paced career and computer training in digital media and design, announced the release of Migrating from FreeHand to Illustrator.
Migrating from FreeHand to Illustrator shows how to smoothly make the transition to Illustrator, including how to create and edit vector graphics and how to use FreeHand files in Illustrator. Instructor Mordy Golding approaches the lessons from the perspective of FreeHand users who want to work in Illustrator for small or large projects. The tutorials demonstrate the basics of importing FreeHand files into Illustrator without losing detail, editing paths and changing object attributes, and using advanced creative effects. Mordy breaks down Illustrator-specific tools using FreeHand terminology to make the switch as seamless as possible. Exercise files accompany this tutorial, allowing viewers to follow along and learn at their own pace.
"Now that Adobe and Macromedia have merged, the future of FreeHand is uncertain, and a lot of users are migrating to Illustrator. It's easier to learn from the perspective of what you already know, which is the approach this training takes. Adobe Certified Trainer Mordy Golding is a gifted instructor who knows both products inside and out. We're very happy to offer this training to the huge group of FreeHand users who might be looking for a change," says Lynda Weinman, CEO of lynda.com.
