   Adobe Illustrator's Multithreading Journey Begins!

    

   Dear Illustrator Community,

   
   

   I'm thrilled to announce that we've embarked on an exciting journey to bring multithreading capabilities to Adobe Illustrator. This significant undertaking will enhance performance and responsiveness across various aspects of the application.

   
   

   While this is a complex process that will take some time to fully implement, I wanted to share our progress so far.

   
   

   Our Approach

   We've strategically begun by focusing on the most computationally intensive operations—those that typically take more time and block the main thread, resulting in slower response times while you work. By moving these operations to separate threads, we aim to significantly improve your overall experience with Illustrator.

   
   

   It's important to note that you may see more noticeable impact in some areas than others initially. However, we want to assure you that this is just the beginning, and we will continue this journey to bring improvements across the entire application.

   
   

   What We've Accomplished So Far

   
   

   We've already moved a few areas to multiple threads:

   - Periodic document back-up

   - Snapping guide generation

   - Rasterization (currently for JPEG, PNG, and TIFF formats)

   - Thumbnail generation for layers

   - Linked/Embedded image (jpg, png, tiff) handling

   
   

   What to Expect

   These improvements will lead to more responsive and faster performance in several key areas:

   
   

   - Placing multiple images

   - Embedding linked images

   - Object > Rasterize

   - Export to PNG format

   - Document opening with heavy linked images

   - Simultaneous placement and drag-and-drop of multiple linked/embedded images (JPEG, PNG, and TIFF files)

   
   

   We're committed to enhancing your Illustrator experience, and this is just the beginning. While the full implementation will take time, we're excited about the improvements already in place and those yet to come.

   
   

   Stay tuned for more updates as we continue this journey. Your patience and support are greatly appreciated as we work to make Illustrator faster and more efficient than ever before.

   
   

   Try It Now in Beta!

   We're excited to announce that these multithreading improvements are available for you to try right now in our Beta builds. You can access these builds through the Creative Cloud Desktop App:

   1. Open the Creative Cloud Desktop App
   2. Navigate to the "Beta apps" section
   3. Look for the Illustrator Beta and download it to experience these performance enhancements firsthand

   
   

   We encourage you to try out the Beta version and share your feedback with us.

   
   

   Thank you for being part of our community!

   
   

   Best regards,

   Adobe Illustrator Team

   If anyone is in any doubt as to whether this is possible, bring up a CPU performance monitor and then try opening a large file in Affinity Designer. Zoom in and out, move things around, keeping an eye on activity across the CPU cores as you do so...

   Hmmmmm, Adobe?

   Absolutely, I want this.

   Additionally, some appearance elements can't be transferred between groups, eg. 3D effects. And if it *were* to work, you'd only want certain aspects of the appearance to transfer (eg. the 3D effect) and not others (stroke/fill). Or maybe you would, depending on what aspect of the appearance you want. Having to go into the eye-dropper tool preferences to adjust that stuff manually is a PITA (and then to still have it not work properly).

   So being able to drag-drop appearance elements onto objects from the panel would add a lot of power and usability to the whole system.

5. Improve features for generative art (like Hype and Processing) would be welcomed. Especially by using the Python programming language.
