About Adobe Creative Cloud

Adobe Creative Cloud is a suite of photography, video, design and user experience tools that helps businesses create, source and publish content across devices. It includes desktop and cloud applications such as Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, and Premiere Rush, which allow enterprises to produce and edit pixel arts, videos, print or digital media and more.

Professionals can use Creative Cloud Libraries to sync and share colors, images, and other design elements across existing applications and devices.

Excellent comprehensive software management tool

In the beginning, it took some getting used to because if the frequent changes. As Adobe became more sure of what they wanted it to look like and I adapted to the potential of more changes, we became good friends. Once I had some settled experience, I kinda looked forward to what the might have dreamed up next - if I wasn't in a hurry. Overall, I really like this product for what it is: A comprehensive software management tool.

Pros:

What I like most about Creative Cloud is that it is a fully functional dashboard. Every product is displayed with it's release and update status. You can update by clicking a button; it will stack updates and notify you when each finished. And, it has access links to Adobe Fonts and Adobe Images, which I find very useful for those times when in a project I just need that one special thing.

Cons:

I don’t know that I have a thing I like least. I have been using it for years and I am so used to it's seamless functioning that I don’t think about it any more. For me now, it’s more utility than application.

Pros:

Compared to downloading software via CDs, etc - this subscription has changed my entire workflow for the better.

Cons:

I cannot say enough good things about Premiere, Photoshop, Illustrator, etc - and it is incredible to me that I can spend all day in a program - every week - and still only be scratching the surface of all the cool stuff it can do! There are a number of tutorials online for when you get lost.

Pros:

I like how it organizes all Adobe content/ products into one place. All though i mainly use 2 programs it is nice how easy it is to access other programs

Cons:

It automatically opens and runs constantly, kind of annoying because you'll close it and randomly a few minutes later it will be running in the background

Pros:

I actually didn’t like anything about it. The programs being in one place was cool but other than that it wasn’t something that I used.

Cons:

I didn’t like the programs to be honest, which I guess goes beyond the scope of the cloud. They were to difficult to use and expensive.

Reasons for choosing Adobe Creative Cloud

I didn’t. I switched to Canva. It’s much easier to use, cheaper and has more templates and fonts.
