Adobe rolled out a major overhaul to it’s Creative Cloud suite. This update brings in new features to all apps including the usual bug fixes and performance enhancements. Here’s what’s new with the Adobe Update for 2015:
Photoshop CC 2015:
The flagship product see’s a bunch of really cool additions including an overhauled export process and a revised live preview. Our favorite change is the new support for Multiple Art Boards. If you’re like our in-house designers you’ve battled the limitations of working with a single board when designing for multiple screens. The other big thing is, a actually a new addition. Say hello to a new design mode called Photoshop Design Space. It is crafted specifically for web & UI designers. This mode removes redundant panels and functions to give you an interface focused primarily on web & app design.
Adobe Stock:
Be afraid Shutterstock ‘cuz Adobe just entered the stock images game with Adobe Stock. Just launched with over 40 million images, courtesy of their recent acquisition of Fotolia. What makes this is a super duper move is you can now bring in low-res (water-marked) images straight to your design and if you’re satisfied, you can purchase the image straight from the app. The low-res version automatically changes to high-res once the purchase is complete.
That’s Not All Folks:
Illustrator got a dedicated design focused on charts & info-graphics.
Dreamweaver got a responsive built-in design which makes it’s code production-ready. It’s a potentially great update for mocking up responsive designs.
What’s more is some of these cool apps available earlier only on iOS are finally out on Android. Another cool update is, all of the Creative Cloud suite now features linked assets in CC Libraries. This means you can update a logo and choose to update it across all the files that use it.
We’ll end this with one of our favorite features from this update. You can now sync your work across all devices and work from anywhere. We think these are great updates to an amazing suite. Tell us what you think and if any of you have tried it out, do share your experience in the comments below.
