Adobe Introduces InCopy CS2 With Enhanced Support for Collaborative Editorial Workflows

Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE) today announced Adobe® InCopy® CS2, a professional writing and editing program that integrates tightly with Adobe InDesign® CS2 software, also announced today (see separate press release). InCopy CS2 software streamlines and enhances collaborative editorial workflows for small creative teams. Adobe also licenses InCopy CS2 to systems integrators and third-party developers to design editorial solutions for more advanced, medium-to-large sized publishing workgroups.

InCopy CS2 introduces an innovative assignments-based workflow, which enables one or more editors to work in parallel with the designer on different parts of an InDesign file, without overwriting each other’s changes. New graphics controls and editorial enhancements further refine the collaborative workflow. Using InCopy CS2 and InDesign CS2 together enables fewer review and revision cycles between designers and editors, better editorial control over copy, and ultimately gets publications to market faster.

“With innovations such as the ability to place and scale images and artwork and the extremely robust INX exchange format, InCopy CS2 will enable our customers to collaborate even more effectively across the publishing workflow,” said Andreas Schrader, managing director of SoftCare, developers of the K4 Publishing System, in use at major magazines and newspapers such as Condé Nast’s GQ, Gruner+Jahr’s Capital and Metro Newspapers. “InCopy CS2 provides enhancements that will help our customers accelerate the editing process, promoting increased efficiency and quality across their publications.”
