Adobe Creative Cloud Reviews & Product Details

The best Features I like the most are filters that enhance my photos.

Its limitations with special effects. It only focuses on enhancing photos. But all and all this is the best app I have ever used with editing pictures.

With capturing photos sometimes it has a blemish that I have to fix. And using this app I was able to enhance the photos good for posting on social media.

I have several years working with after effects and I consider myself almost an expert, the interface is friendly, besides offering the installation of plugins and scripts and this helps to improve the workflow for us in my case graphic designer.

I have two points that I don't like or could be improved in after effects, but I think an update is necessary. 1 Too high Ram memory consumption 2 If I don't have the latest driver for my GPU installed, I get an error.

It helped me in the creation of material for social networks, as well as advertising videos from very simple to very complex with the integration of 3D objects, what a great help!

Can create a best result if utilized properly

Not a user-friendly for common people but it can be a good start up for beginners

Editing pictures that is mainly used for product/advertising promotions

The depth of features and capabilities is impressive, and I think the After Effects team is very in-tune with the needs of the userbase in motion graphics, especially when it comes to integration with 3D platforms like Blender.

The learning curve is steep, and some of the best features, are implemented in a way that is very hidden / not-intuitive. But, the fact that these abilities and features are even there at all, more than makes up for this.

Compositing various types of footage - video from videographers, graphic components from graphic designers, 3D animations from 3D animators - these have always been daunting for one person to handle on their own. After Effects has matured to the point where it is conceivable to produce a very professional finished animation, video clip or special effect shot, as just a one-person show. The level of community support and expertise for After Effects is amazing; this is clearly a well loved product by many motion graphics pros and special effects compositors. This 'solves the problem' of official documentation from Adobe being a bit weak - the community of users more than makes up for it, and I think it's clear that After Effects is in-tune with their user base.

I like the flexibility of Adobe Illustrator - I find it can achieve such a wide range of styles. It is my go-to for layout & graphics concept development and production of finished work.

There is very little to dislike about Adobe Illustrator, but I do have a few "beefs" that I would like to see fixed: (and these are fairly minor quibbles that I can easily work around... ) - The default color swatch library. It's not really well setup to work optimally with the color management tools, and really I find I just have to delete it all the time. A basic default palette that had all swatches already set to "global" would be useful. - Pixel snapping is only accurate when you zoom in really closely. This makes Illustrator a bit of a chore to get pixel perfect graphics with. - Stop trying to add 3D tools! They are terrible. The extrude and rotate stuff is very weak. Just focus illustrator on the key strength - a 2D graphics tool. If I want 3D elements, there is much better software to use. - Pantone Color Bridge Swatch Library - the default library that illustrator comes with, doesn't have the right CMYK values. The Pantone Connect Plugin is expensive for what it is & for daily use... it would be nice if Illustrator at least standardized this swatch library between Photoshop and InDesign

Illustrator is useful daily for web and print design graphics. I find it to be a good balance between design production, and creative freedom. The workflow integration with Adobe InDesign is excellent. I like that I can just copy / paste SVG code directly to web code as well.

InDesign has matured into a feature-rich, professional design tool with a solid focus on print design and publication workflow. It is very flexible and stable. I would not likely consider switching to any competitive product.

The user-interface can be a little bit intimidating to new users. I work with many junior designers or people in communications roles who do not have formal training in design and layout for print. There are many aspects of the daily use of InDesign that you "just have to learn" - it is not 100% intuitive, and many key features and functional intentions take a lot of practice (or guidance by an experienced user). While the user community is vast, and free online help resources are abundant, there is a little bit of a tendency for experienced InDesign users to not be very knowledgeable outside of the primary focus that is InDesign (the print and publication design industries). Adobe also seems to have a bit of a vague focus for this product - sometimes touting it as a suitable tool for designing and producing a website (it is NOT), or rich media (it fails horribly at this). These are features that simply muddy the waters. Adobe InDesign should be about print layout, typesetting, and publication design. Full stop. It shines here, but pales in comparison in any other use-case - Ironically, compared to other Adobe products most of the time.

In print publication design, the biggest challenge is managing the workflow of text and graphics content from various suppliers. Adobe InDesign contains more advanced features that help automate this aspect of projects when working with teams of contributors who are often all over the world. While InDesign "on it's own" is not the solution entirely, it does a pretty good job of balancing more technical, at-scale projects along side the ability to handle simple, more common day to day layout and production tasks.

Easy to learn espeically if you have past experience with another Adobe product like photoshop.

There are quite a few icons presented on a single screen, take some away as a default so its cleaner to llok at.

Helping clients with logos

Media Encoder makes exporting videos easy. I can export one video through Encoder while editing another video in Premiere Pro. With an updated computer, Media Encoder will export your videos quickly and efficiently.

I have very little to discuss on the dislike section. The only issue I have run into on occasion is videos not exporting properly and sound results in a syncing error. Sometimes Adobe's updates run into compatibility issues with updates on my Mac, but those generally get fixed in no time. It's still exponentially faster to export through Encoder than through Premiere Pro or After Effects.

Media Encoder takes all of my exporting problems and channels it into a couple of easy buttons. This app allows me to focus on creating quality videos instead of trying to figure out how to make video MP4 capable for a standard widescreen TV, social media platforms, etc. It allows for me to also quickly choose exporting settings optimized for YouTube uploads and social media uploads in both 16x9, 1x1, and 9x16 formats.

I really appreciate the fact that I can send all my After Effects and Premiere projects to the Media Encoder and batch render them all from one software. It saves so much time in the exporting process.

The UI is not user friendly, as is the case with a lot of Adobe software. It could be cleaned up and simplified.

When we are finished with edits for clients in Premiere and VFX in After Effects, we always batch them out to Media Encoder and can batch render them all from there. This saves us so much time, instead of closing out each software and jumping back and forth between them.

HSL functions of Lightroom is really great.Also the ability to edit raw is awesome.I think they are the one who brought HSL for the first time. Since then I am in love with the software. It's the best software to retouch. I have desktop and a Mobile version and sync with cloud. It is very while you travel. You don't need your laptop, we can edit it in the phone as well.

Certain features that we have in Desktop version is missing in the mobile version. In Desktop in order to edit certain raw files, we need to install some third party software. If it can be changed to some plugin option then it would be great.

Lightroom is the Best color grading software I know for images. I mainly use it for color grading and retouching the photos.
