Updated with video and additional detail

Today at Adobe MAX 2014, Adobe released a new family of iOS mobile apps and enhanced Creative Cloud 2014.1 desktop tools that enable creatives to access, use and create from anywhere. Details on what's available today are available from the Creative Cloud Team at Creative Cloud: A New Era of Mobile Creativity.

The updates and more will be demoed in today?s keynote session at Adobe MAX, beginning at 9.30 am PT, available via a live stream at adobe.com/go/maxkeynote.

The release includes:

• Significant feature updates to 13 essential CC desktop tools that link to a new family of integrated Adobe iOS mobile apps

• New and enhanced iOS mobile apps extend CC desktop capabilities to mobile devices. For example, brand new apps Adobe Shape CC and Adobe Brush CC enable creatives to capture real-world shapes and textures and then use them as vector objects and brushes. The three new apps are built on the Creative SDK (built by the Aviary team), now available publicly as a free SDK for third-party developers.

• The new Adobe Premiere Clip (controls pictured above) brings advanced editing tools to iPhone and iPad video. You can work entirely on just one mobile device, or shoot on iPhone, edit on iPad, finish in Premiere Pro. Karl Soule posted excerpts on Adobe Clip from the keynote.

• The new Creative Profile, Creative Cloud Market and Creative Cloud Libraries (video) bridge access across desktop and mobile apps, to offer fluid access to files, photos, colors, brushes and more from anywhere. Creative Cloud Extract, new to Photoshop CC, allows Web designers and developers to share and unlock vital design information from a PSD file (such as colors, fonts and CSS) to use when coding mobile and desktop designs. read more...
