If you are a photographer or illustrator you will be pleased to learn that Adobe will also be paying for stock photos and illustrations. Plus, as a Creative Cloud member, you will get access to reduced prices on the images. With this service, Adobe customers will be able to purchase stock photos and illustrations right from within the Creative Cloud products. Last year they purchased Folia, and now they are integrating that service into the Creative Cloud in the form of Adobe Stock.
The big news of interest to web designers is that Adobe is now entering the stock photo business. Thanks for listening Adobe! Adobe Enters the Stock Photo Business But if you just want your current version to update to the latest version, you can do that instead. In other words, if you want the old version side-by-side with the new, you can do that.
This year, Adobe has learned from that mistake and is making the way you install the new version an option. Yes, I appreciated the ability to check things in the old version of Photoshop CC and Dreamweaver CC, but when I couldn’t save any files because my hard drive was full, the duplicate copies of the apps got annoying. If you had a gigantic hard drive, you may not have noticed, but if your laptop is like mine, the 40GB you had free was suddenly not nearly enough. If you had Creative Cloud last year, you may remember the day when your hard drive space was sucked up by an entire new copy of all your Adobe applications. The biggest changes are that they are releasing updates to 15 apps within the Creative Cloud as well as including a new service: Adobe Stock. Adobe has announced a bunch of updates to the Adobe Creative Cloud.
