I like that you can view the files such as eps, ai, pdf, and other files without having to open them by using the viewer in the program. I like how you can search a file not just based by its name you can also search its file formats. Offering a black or dark grey theme feels like a plus since it is less harsh on eyes compared to looking at the old outdated feeling light grey.The Dark theme gives it that futuristic feel oppose to the grey theme that feels like its from the 90's.
The latest version i did have some occasional freezing with the program compared to the older versions i had no issues.
Keeping client files super organized and being able to see the revisions i made by not just renaming the files but being able to view the file without having to open it by using the zoom tool.
Before Adobe had the Creative Cloud, I was paying upwards of $600 for each new version of the Creative Suite software. This could happen annually, and sometimes even more frequently than that, and in many cases the only real improvements were to one or two of the applications. With the Creative Cloud, I'm still paying about the same amount every year, but the monthly cost is much more budget-friendly than taking the huge hit all at once. The regular bug fixes and version updates are easy to install and typically just happen in the background so I never have to worry about it. Adobe has also improved the way in which the applications interact with each other, making it a breeze to design something in Illustrator and then put it into InDesign or Premiere, and if I need to make changes later in Illustrator the assets just update automatically wherever I used them.
Many of the new 3D Tools are an additional expense on top of the Creative Cloud, which has discouraged me from trying them because I don't have the budget for software that I may or may not use. If Adobe slightly increased the monthly cost of the Creative Cloud by $5 or even $10, I could more readily justify the expense than paying the additional $50 a month for just the 3D applications. .
Adobe Creative Cloud provides the industry standard in graphic design, photo manipulation, and video editing. It also has web development and audio engineering tools, complementing the other applications beautifully. By centralizing the application workflow through the Creative Cloud app, Adobe has made it easy to manage licenses and updates, reducing the time IT needs to attend to issues.
I love all the apps like Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, and so much more under one roof and the ability to share with my marketing team. We use all the apps and are really impressed by the price we pay. I love that you can access it from anywhere, too.
The only things that I dislike are that some of the apps are sometimes not updated at the same time as others and that the price is not always locked in. We experienced a price increase mid-year. Although it was only a couple of dollars more a month, they can increase at any time during a subscription.
Our marketing team can collaborate on projects and get feedback from each other. The fact that we can access it from anywhere while we travel is excellent. We can keep up with our projects no matter where we are as long as we have a good internet connection.
I love that all of the software can be dowloaded and updated through the Adobe Creative Cloud. The integration and online storage between programs makes me more efficient and allows me to work on my projects from any device, in any location!
The price point of an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription is perhaps the only downfall. I think lowering the subscription cost would encourage more people to use it!
Adobe Creative Cloud solves my storage problems, and allows me to work across multiple devices which, in turn, increases my productivity. I've been able to do more, while saving time, because I can work seamlessly between my MacBook Pro and my iPad Pro, as the creative cloud stores all of my files in one place!
Adobe Bridge shines in a handful of very specific instances. Cataloguing and searching image libraries (e.g. stock photos) is where I find it to be the most useful. Robust metadata features and customizable searches are also quite valuable, especially when sharing libraries of assets with other users. Another great advantage of Adobe Bridge is the ability to preview a wide variety of files. You can quickly view several different types of files quickly without needing to open individual files/applications (including images and documents but also more robust files such as photoshop files, adobe illustrator files, etc. even video files are viewable in Bridge). Apple and Microsoft operating systems are adding and developing that functionality as well but its not even close to the level of Adobe Bridge in terms of compatible filetypes.
Really my biggest dislike is the lack of development. A lot of the features within Bridge are somewhat deprecated at this point, and not being actively developed/improved. Its become a bit bloated and save for a few of the recent updates, can create slowdowns and tie up CPU/RAM resources. It could really use a spring cleaning to rid itself of some of its more 'elderly' features, and allow the useful features it does have to truly shine. The flip side is that some of my favorite features have actually been removed. I greatly miss the ability to easily generate contact sheets for example.
Our primary use for Bridge is in cataloguing and searching large image libraries -- we buy a lot of stock photography and being able to quickly locate images (we can tag images with specific keywords for example i.e. 'lifestyle' or 'product' in addition to the metadata already included in the file) is a huge plus for our high pace workflow. If your organization purchases (or produces) a lot of stock photography, Bridge can be very useful for sorting and tagging, especially in lieu of a cloud based DAM system, which can often be costly and a lot of work to maintain. The benefit of Bridge is that its already included in your Adobe CC subscription so there's no additional cost.
Adobe Bridge connects seamlessly with other Adobe Creative Cloud programs, but functions well with any assets across the board.
The user interface with Adobe Bridge doesn't feel as elegant as other Creative Cloud programs.
Using Bridge saves me more time than I ever expected. As someone who values efficiency, I quickly came to rely on Bridge for many needs, and that list continues to grow every month.
The tools which are provided by adobe are excellent, and it was really fun while your working on those tools especially on the designing tools
The pricing is the main dislike. If you want to purchase Photoshop and Illustrator separately, then you can purchase the complete suite at that price. For example, if photoshop is 2$, illustrator is 2$, and premier pro is 2$, then you will get the complete suite at 3.5$. If your planning to purchase the complete suite the it will work in you case if your planning to purchase individual the it will eat your money
it completed depends on the usage; for design, I would like to use Photoshop, illustrator and for video editing, i would like to your premier pro and after effects. It really simplifies my design and even on premier pro, i would like to edit the video for my blogs easily
The fact that it auto logs you into any adobe login quickly and seamlessly.
The high cost and the fact that you have to use it to use any adobe product. There are usually many issues and causes inecisssary stress.
Easily logging into adobe apps reducing time and stress. This is big.
