Creative Cloud Announcements Include New Mobile Apps, Touch
in Desktop Tools, Video Assets Coming to Adobe Stock
At Adobe MAX 2015, the world’s leading creativity conference,
Adobe (Nasdaq:ADBE) today outlines its vision for Creative Cloud --
a “connected creative canvas” where people create and share their
work from anywhere. With millions of members around the world,
Creative Cloud brings together essential desktop and mobile apps; a
growing marketplace for content, assets and talent; and a vibrant
community where creatives can showcase their work and find
inspiration. Adding to Creative Cloud momentum, the company today
shipped two new mobile apps, Photoshop Fix and Capture
CC, enabling quick retouching and asset capture on the go and
announced new Touch capabilities across Creative Cloud desktop
applications including Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC and Premiere
Pro CC. Adobe is also highlighting its patented CreativeSync
technology, which powers connections between desktop and mobile
apps and the assets creatives use every day. In addition, video
content is coming soon to Adobe Stock, the company’s
royalty-free collection of high-quality photos, illustrations and
graphics.
Nearly 7000 attendees, from across the creative spectrum, are
gathered in Los Angeles to learn, be inspired and network. This
year’s MAX will feature film director Baz Luhrmann; “Humans of New
York” founder and photographer Brandon Stanton; illustrator and
writer Maira Kalman; and artist, designer and author Elle Luna. To

“Creative Cloud has become the de facto platform for all
creatives, providing the tools and services to fulfill every
creative need. With this latest release, we’re giving our creative
customers the freedom they need to work and be inspired from
anywhere,” said Bryan Lamkin, senior vice president and general
manager, Digital Media at Adobe. “Being connected to your assets,
team and projects, at all times, is critical to today’s designers.
With this Creative Cloud update, Adobe’s signature CreativeSync
technology drives powerful connections between desktop and mobile
apps as well as essential creative assets.”
Mobile Apps Enable Design on the Go
Available today, Photoshop Fix offers a retouching and
restoration-focused image editing experience on a mobile device,
powered by Adobe’s world-renowned image-science technology. The
simple, intuitive touch interface makes legendary Photoshop desktop
features, like the Healing Brush and Liquify, available for real
retouching work on iPad and iPhone.
Creatives can now capture anything that inspires them with Adobe
Capture CC. This app combines the capabilities of Adobe Brush,
Adobe Shape, Adobe Color and Adobe Hue into a single, powerful,
simple-to-use app and the captured design asset can be used as a
brush, shape or color theme for professional work. In addition,
Adobe shipped updates to other essential connected Creative Cloud
mobile apps, including Photoshop Mix, Photoshop Sketch, Illustrator
Draw, Comp CC and Premiere Clip.
Touch and More Coming to CC Desktop Tools
