Adobe has just announced a number of new apps as well as
updates to existing software to give its products a better fit in the growing
mobile market of smartphones and tablets. The announcements were made at this
week’s Adobe Max conference in Los Angeles.
For the new apps, there were three that made a debut at the
event. First, there was the Brush CC mobile app that constructs brushes from
photos you took using your phone’s camera. Then there are the Shape CC and
Color CC apps that function the same way as the Brush CC app but this time extracts
shapes and colors from the photo in your smartphone.
For video editors, there’s the Adobe Premiere Clip that
works with videos taken on an iPhone or iPad. The app allows users to do some
editing on the go before finishing it off on the Adobe Premiere Pro CC for the
desktop.
For existing apps including Photoshop Sketch, Photoshop Mix,
Lightroom Mobile, Illustrator Line and Illustrator Draw will get fresh updates
to improve their productivity for designers on the go.
And to make things even better and more convenient, Adobe
has made the apps fully integrated with the Creative Cloud making all digital
assets including the brushes, palettes, fonts, etc. fully accessible from
different devices.
At the moment, the new mobile apps are an iOS exclusive and
there’s no word yet on when they’ll reach Android devices. The good thing
though is that the updates will be free for subscribers. Those with a Creative
Cloud account can already check if the update is available for download.
