As a key Adobe distributor, Dax Data is pleased to announce the 2019 release of Adobe Creative Cloud. At the annual Adobe MAX conference held last month, Adobe unveiled a portfolio of next-generation creative apps that will expand what's possible by transforming creative workflows across devices and platforms.
Unparalleled innovation empowers you to explore new, creative frontiers in 3D design, voice prototyping, 360/VR video, and more.
Among the all new apps and prototypes, there are a number of updates and added features to your old favourites.
Photoshop CC
Adobe has unleashed a wave of innovation with Photoshop CC for the iPad, Project Aero, Project Gemini, Dimension CC 2.0 and a major update to Photoshop CC itself.
Photoshop CC on the iPad is the newest piece of the system, bringing real Photoshop to mobile devices with an approachable user experience and the power and precision needed for image compositing. Creators can use the mobile version of Photoshop on its own or as a partner to Photoshop on the desktop. The preview of this new tool is available now, with new operating systems and form factors to be added in future.
