Adobe Photoshop and its Creative Cloud are invaluable tools for graphic designers and photographers everywhere in the world. To meet the needs of its users, Adobe has rolled out new versions of its Creative Cloud every year since the product launched in 2012, and 2015 was no different. Other than the inclusion of two groundbreaking services, Adobe Stock and Adobe CreativeSync, there are many cool new Photoshop features\u00a0to explore.<\/p>\n
Integrated into Adobe Creative Cloud, the Adobe Stock<\/a> service gives designers access to over 40 million curated images. With a few clicks, Adobe users can search, manage, and buy stock imagery (photos and graphics) to enhance their designs.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat makes Adobe Stock unique is the extent of the integration,\u201d wrote ExtremeTech author David Cardinal<\/a> in June. \u201cFirst, if you download and edit a watermarked preview image, when you purchase a license your edits are transferred to the full version. That\u2019s an amazing time-saver for anyone who needs to do comps or proofs to submit for approval before licensing images or graphics for their final product. Second, as part of Adobe\u2019s CreativeSync capability, you\u2019ll have access to your licensed images from all your devices.\u201d<\/p>\n Exclusive technology developed by Adobe, CreativeSync stores all of your files, photos, fonts, vector graphics, brushes, colors, settings, metadata and stock images from Adobe Stock. This empowers users to edit work on their smartphones, desktops, and tablets without losing any asset in their workflow.<\/p>\n Macworld contributor J.R. Bookwalter shared in a June 2015 article<\/a>, \u201cCreativeSync marks the first time Adobe has branded the service, which now covers all files, design assets, fonts, settings, and other content used in a particular workflow. Creative Cloud has been moving gradually toward this type of universal sync for several years now, and the introduction of CC Libraries last fall provided a way for designers to access commonly used elements from key desktop applications.\u201d<\/p>\n Artboards were previously only available in Adobe Illustrator. Today, graphic designers are tasked with creating websites that not only function across devices, but also look good wherever the site is viewed. With Artboards<\/a>, designers are given preset layouts to help streamline branding and design across devices in Photoshop. View sites side-by-side for easy comparison and editing. As Harrison Weber from VentureBeat<\/a> surmised, \u201cAdobe is clearly catering to app designers (and maybe even lingering Fireworks fans<\/a>) with this feature, and this says a lot about Photoshop\u2019s evolution from general photo editor to a multifaceted design tool.\u201d<\/p>\nAdobe CreativeSync <\/strong><\/h2>\n
