Adobe announces Creative Cloud Express, a unified web and mobile app for quick, easy editing: Digital Photography Review

Adobe announced Creative Cloud Express, new tools available on the web and mobile devices that provide basic versions of Adobe’s image and video editing tools, some of which were previously included in Adobe Spark.

Adobe description Creative Cloud Express is a ‘fast and easy web and mobile app perfect for a tattoo artist to share her latest designs, a clothing designer to advertise her latest pop-ups. Then, a student creates an interactive history report, a real estate agent markets her latest listing, or an aspiring musician posts about her upcoming gig. ‘

Creative Cloud Express looks to build on existing Adobe apps, such as Photoshop, Illustrator, and Premiere Pro, while giving users some of that power in just a few clicks, without the need for any fiddling around. What is the learning curve? Creative Cloud Express includes thousands of templates and access to millions of images from Adobe Stock (with a paid subscription) to allow users to quickly – and easily – create something that looks good.

With Creative Cloud Express, Adobe continues to leverage the web as its platform. In October, Adobe has updated Photoshop on the web, added lighting editing, and full-fledged collaboration. Adobe writes, ‘The Web is rapidly becoming a powerful platform for creativity, and Creative Cloud Express takes full advantage of it to make the act of expression available anywhere, anytime, and to make things happen. easy collaboration.’

Creative Cloud Express is also included in the existing Single Creative Cloud Apps plans ($20.99 per month) and Creative Cloud All Apps plans, but it doesn’t appear to be included in the Photography Bundle, itself 9. $.99 per month.
