 At the recent Adobe MAX conference Adobe released an October 2018 update to Creative Cloud which appears as Desktop apps labelled 2019. In doing so Adobe broke the way most licensing and deployment happens for Creative Cloud for Teams users giving Adobe administrators a major headache. But end users only get the enjoyment of new versions! One new component is Adobe Premiere Rush CC, which Adobe bills as the first all-in-one, easy-to-use video editing app for social media creators, simplifying video creation and sharing on platforms including YouTube and Instagram. Other features include:
- Photoshop
An expanded Content-Aware Fill workspace in Photoshop CC that offers greater precision and control to save editors valuable time when working with their images. - InDesign
A new Content-Aware Fit feature in InDesign CC that intelligently detects an image and crops or fits it to an image frame automatically. - Illustrator
New Freeform Gradients in Illustrator CC that enable the creation of natural gradients.
Precursor will be updating our clients with the latest Creative Cloud 2019 apps soon. (But we have to completely revise our deployment technique now that Adobe has killed off Creative Cloud Packager - the previously Adobe recommended method for us deploying!) So look for CC 2019 soon!
