Adobe Creative Cloud

My Creative Box

Pluspunten:

I have a variety of creative assets in one place, music, sound, graphic design, video editing, 2D and 3D animation, digital drawing, etc.

Minpunten:

I have no complains with the app. Everything is clean and useful.

Adobe Is My Daily Driver

Opmerkingen: I have been using Adobe tools for over 25 years and generally they have become better. I have recommended a variety of the Adobe tools to others depending on their needs and budget.

Pluspunten:

The cross-functionality between applications is critical and generally works very well. For example, I enjoy being able to create pieces in Lightroom, Photoshop, and Illustrator and compile them in InDesign. I was just using the tools today to build a variety of print and digital pieces.

Minpunten:

There are some silly quirks with the programs such as in Photoshop you can't paste the file path when opening or saving a file (they use an old file structure format), or in InDesign you can't export as an SVG. There are work arounds, so the software is still useable as a daily driver.

Not worth it

Opmerkingen: It's not worth it if you're a freelance, especially when you're starting now in the business. I will cancel my subscription once and for all when this year is over, and I'm only waiting because the idea of paying a fine to then not be able to use the apps until the very end doesn't sit right with me, so I'll just continue paying until the end and won't subscribe again unless the service actually becomes professional.

Pluspunten:

If you buy the Adobe Creative Suite you get all the apps you need for a fairly good price

Minpunten:

You can't actually cancel your subscription at any moment, you'll have to pay a fine that amounts to a year worth of usage of the apps. The apps crash constantly despite the constant updates, making it difficult to work with them and with a high risk of compromising the work you're doing if you make a living off of it.

Expensive but functional

Opmerkingen: Functional, necessary for clients work who have Adobe CC as company main software, I like the new updates around AI and the Fresco app and the changes to Photoshop Beta, but over time I have been choosing other software with lifetime licence.

Pluspunten:

I like the flexibility of accessing multiple tools in one platform, sharing documents, it can help the workflow process

Minpunten:

Subscription price is too high for individuals or small businesses, not all softwares are often used, some software have a long learning curve, are too complex or too long to use to achieve the same goals that are more easily achieved with other similar software.

Love My Adobe Creative Cloud

Opmerkingen: I love Adobe Creative Cloud. It has helped me to elevate my graphic design work to a new level, and I find new tricks and helpers almost every day to make my job easier.

Pluspunten:

Seemless integration between programs. I primarily use inDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator and I love them all. I use all three of these products, plus Acrobat, on a daily basis.

Minpunten:

I have no issues with Adobe Creative Cloud.
