Reform v2 (Q2 2022)
Major, new plugin (we're keeping it secret for the moment!)
Beyond mainstream functional releases, a request-based beta programme opt-in via the Astute Manager is being planned. This will allow for the early deployment of "lab" style tools for testing.
Please refer to our social channels and website for updates.
Please read our Learning to Learn blog post for insights into the major changes we have planned for our training and learning material. We welcome your feedback!
Astute Manager v3 to bring power consumption improvements, UI/UX enhancements for both macOS and Windows users, plus native Apple M1 hardware compatibility. Expected early 2022.
Evolution of the Astute Manager to become a "service hub" for designers, connecting Astute Graphics and external resources.
Astute Graphics have been listening to suggestions from customers and users since our first plugin (Phantasm) in 2006. If you have a tool or enhancement that you think would be useful to your vector workflow and other Adobe Illustrator users, please get in contact.
We also actively seek feedback from customers via regular surveys. Our latest one has ensured many improvements are underway. Read about what actions we plan to take »
