Adobe on Monday updated its subscription-based professional image editing suite, bringing "hundreds" of new features to premiere offerings like Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign, among others.
As with the suite's debut in May, files created with the updated "CC" desktop apps can be shared across platforms and the online creative community Behance via Adobe's Creative Cloud.
“We’ve added a ton of new innovation to all our CC desktop apps like Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign," said David Wadhwani, senior vice president and general manager of Digital Media at Adobe. "These apps include new features that increase productivity, streamline the effort to build mobile content and showcase some stunning new imaging and video science."
One of the release's major features is a streamlined workflow experience. The new Creative Cloud app allows users to keep files synced and organized not only locally, but across websites and mobile devices. Adobe is also integrating the Behance community with CC, offering new portfolio publishing options that let users get feedback on works in progress from the community's over 1.4 million members.
Cloud storage and syncing remain the same, with 20GB of storage for individual members that can be used to share and edit work on a number of platforms, including iOS.
In addition, Adobe is launching the Create Now: A Celebration of Creativity initiative, which will host collaborative art projects, celebrate the birthday of a "design icon" and open up a forum for Adobe users to connect and collaborate.
Adobe's Creative Cloud update is available now through the company's website, with special pricing for educators and students starting at $19.99 per month. Individual pricing for new users is $49.99 per month, while customers using Adobe CS3 or higher get a discount down to $29.99 per month. Single-app access can is also avaialable for $19.99 a month.

Hello, Tallest Skil, enjoying your ban?
I see you still log in... not being able to "come back" with toxic one-liners must eat you up...
Well, I guess this will be of some interest to those who are in a "collaborative" environment but for me these features are worthless only adding to the back end bloat. I see with some amusement that their pricing reflects just how Adobe intends to post it's next quarterly results. This monthly tax can sure make it easy for the bean counters. Sad to see this pricing model being adopted by Adobe. They have made some top class software but this tax is the last straw - I can't see this working in the long term. People will turn away and look for alternatives. I guess I'll keep my standalone PS PR AE AI running until my machine dies. They've lost me as a customer. oh well,
Hey, Tallest Skil!
What will you do next?
Appeal your ban here?
Or will you pop up in another forum?
If so, will you use the same handle, and the same obnoxious avatar?
If they have actually added "hundreds" of features to each product (or even to them all together) then they have certainly ruined the product.
Adobe is just ridiculous nowadays. I'd be ashamed to work for them or be associated with them.
