I’m so happy I got the chance to attend the Adobe Max conference. All the new software updates and features are so exciting. They opened up a new spectrum of possibilities and made it less of a hassle to jump through hoops of tools to get the results we would want. Especially all the main programs I use are easier to manage.
Hearing the different teams developing the software and their main focus is having our work be sharable on a cloud-based system. We share files with links to get feedback, making sure we get credit for our work. They talked about the Ai they use called adobe sensei. According to adobe ” Adobe Sensei is an artificial intelligence (AI) tool which integrates with the Adobe Experience Cloud ā it’s designed to collapse the time between marketing ideation and execution. Sensei seamlessly connects to all of Adobe’s cloud services, and it can help you create better marketing experiences for your customers”. They added more shareable features on Behance, Behance didn’t just become a portfolio site but the type of social media one of its own now. They added stream service users can stream their work live and make money. They also created a hire me button for creatives to get work. I have Behance but never really used it much since it was a simple, comment system, I use to inspiration but now if I can do all this now I’m reconsidering cleaning my profile.
Then we talked bout the creative cloud being web-based with the new feature that lets you edit a shared file without damaging the original source. Photoshop, Behance, illustrator, lightroom, and premiere pro are heading towards more cloud-based and sharing capabilities for people to connect better.
Adobe Illustrator and photoshop got huge upgrades to work better together. An example if you move illustrator files to photoshop you can move its layers as well and they become editable too!!! Photoshop improved its selection tools and auto masking with a new tool called neural filters that can manipulate selections with ease.
One thing I thought that was super cool they added was 3D software using substance called Adobe stager. Here you can create 3d environments, objects with a lot of flexibility to create. I think this is something I definitely want to try and learn how to use since it will be something interesting. I had fun and learned so much from one day.
