Today I was unable to make the adobe max event, I was so mad. Oh my lord ! I had to catch up on it on youtube, thank god there’s still a way to review the content because i had to babysit my niece, it was a family emergency that couldn’t be avoided. The video i watched was “What’s new in Adobe Indesign-October 2020 Abobe max release” the video was quite informative i was able to listen to the speaker Terry White who is a worldwide design and photography evangelist for adobe. He spoke about the new upcomings in the adobe max release of indesign.Such things in the update I found were quite vital that indesign needed. To be honest the points brought up were points that I’ve spoken about in the past and how indesign needs to make an update, or correcting, or something. Terry spoke very clearly and he took his time. He spoke of working with text around images. Text wrap is the ability to wrap the text around an image. With adobe max masking around the subject you’re able to vary the amount of space around the subject to get it to look right, usually done on photoshop but now indesign allows it in an update. I always wondered why that was possible, but i figured it was because photoshop deals more with photos. Well now Indesign lets you do that. The adobe max update allows idesign to detect photos better and understand what the user is trying to do.
He also informs us of the Indesign review workspace, to share with others, you are able to allow only certain people to see your work. You can switch to invite only so only selected people may view, or make it public which gives anyone the ability to see it. It gives the review the ability to comment while also Giving people without an adobe ID the ability to review your work, since not everyone is rich and can afford adobe am i right ?. You can also mark peoples changes as resolved and comment back to their statements, for an example if the reviewer says “Change this headline to a different font “ you can ask why and the non adobe user will be able to see your reply and communicate back to you. That’s kinda cool.
Last but not lease a color satch update, You can now work with color better on indesign, when you have a specific color now you can change it through the whole document, you can search for this specific color and everywhere you used it, once changed you are informed how many places that color was changed. Way faster than going through the document and going through each page. Thank god, I always felt like things needed to be easier on indesign and I knew I wasn’t the only one feeling a need for change. What else does adobe max have to offer ? Hmmm well have to wait and see im hoping for something cool with illustrator.
