Adobe Creative Cloud tools now available on Android

NEW DELHI, INDIA: Adobe has launched a range of updates to its Adobe Creative Cloud tools and services alongside new services Adobe Stock and Adobe Hue.

The creative cloud updates include Adobe’s desktop tools, including Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC, Premiere Pro CC and InDesign CC; as well as new connected mobile apps for iOS and Android.

Since Creative Cloud was introduced in 2012, Adobe observed that mobile devices should be integral to the creative process, with free companion mobile apps working seamlessly with desktop tools. Adobe has released Brush CC, Shape CC, Color CC and Photoshop Mix on Android. The company has also updated many of its popular creative cloud mobile apps for iPhone and iPad, including Adobe Comp, Photoshop Mix, Photoshop Sketch, Illustrator Draw, Brush, Shape and Color.

The company also shipped Adobe Stock, a stock content service to be integrated directly into the creative process and the tools creatives use every day.

In addition to these updates Adobe debuted Adobe Hue. Hue provides an easy way to capture and share production-quality lighting and color schemes -- for video, film and broadcast -- by using an iPhone camera and then applying these light and color moods into a Premiere Pro or After Effects project.

“The 2015 release of Creative Cloud is packed with innovation. Adobe Stock, our brand new stock service, makes 40 million photos, vector graphics and illustrations accessible directly within your favorite desktop apps.Our CreativeSync technology deepens the connections between desktop apps and mobile apps on iOS and Android; and major updates to Creative Cloud’s infrastructure and administrative capabilities make this an essential upgrade for enterprise customers,” said David Wadhwani, senior vice president, Digital Media, Adobe.

In addition, Adobe announced an expanded creative cloud enterprise offering that includes enterprise-grade administration, security, collaboration and publishing services for design-driven brands, businesses and large organizations.

“Enterprises of all sizes, SMBs, creative professionals and serious hobbyists will find this release of Creative Cloud most useful. Not only does it put the power of mobile in the hands of creatives and makes them much more agile and productive; with deep connections with Adobe Digital Publishing Solution (DPS) and Adobe Marketing Cloud it allows businesses to make, mobilize, manage, measure, and monetize content in a secure fashion thus transforming their own and their customers’ businesses,” said Umang Bedi, Managing Director – South Asia, Adobe.
