And the Creative Cloud Has Arrived!

Creative Cloud is here! As the way we work evolves, so has Adobe’s offerings. You can now get your Creative Cloud membership, which starts with the complete Creative Suite 6, as well as Adobe Muse, our new visual web design tool, and Edge, the HTML5 animation app. Add in Business Catalyst for web hosting, Typekit for fonts, and up to 20 gigabytes of cloud storage for syncing and sharing your files. Why is Creative Cloud so transformative and what does its future hold? Get the story from Jeffrey Veen, senior director of products.
A cocktail-style celebration at the AIGA National Design Center Gallery on 5th Avenue in New York City. Attendees were encouraged to get hands on with the new features in CS6 and Creative Cloud. They were able to sketch a design using Adobe Ideas on the iPad. The sketches were then sent (by syncing to Creative Cloud) to a panel of designers (3 designers from Coach Brands, and 1 from Limited Brands) who used the new pattern creation tools in Illustrator CS6 to turn the sketches into repeating patterns which we will then be printed on a custom messenger bag. We’ll be sending each attendee who participated their very own unique messenger bag in a few weeks.
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom: Available from Mac App Store

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4, the essential digital photography workflow solution helping amateur and professional photographers quickly import, manage, enhance and showcase their images, is now available in the Mac App Store.
Launched in March, Lightroom 4 is a major release, adding significant new capabilities and innovations.
New adjustment controls maximize dynamic range from cameras, recovering exceptional shadow details and highlights.
The software features new and improved auto adjustments to dynamically set values for exposure and contrast, and additional local adjustment controls including Noise Reduction, Moire and White Balance.
Lightroom 4 provides photographers the tools to create beautiful photo books with text controls and a variety of easy-to-use templates, as well as a direct link for photo book creation from within the new Book module.
A new intuitive Map module displays images already assigned a location, provides location tagging and reverse geo-tagging controls and saved locations for easy assignment of a photographer’s common locations.
Now, native video support gives photographers the capability to play, trim and extract frames from video clips shot on DSLRs, point-and-shoot cameras and smartphones.
Video-specific presets and many standard Lightroom image adjustment controls can be applied to video clips, and adjusted videos can be exported as a H.264 file or published directly to Facebook or Flickr.

Occupy HTML5

Flash is mature. It’s supported by all major desktop browsers. It’s stable when used properly. If not, it crashes a lot, just like every other technology. It requires constant security updates, just like every other web technology. It doesn’t work well on most mobile devices, and for good reasons. It’s a content plugin, developed during the era of closed standards and unilateral corporate control of web technology. Websites that rely on Flash can present a unique (and often unparalleled) experience for the massive percentage of users on a desktop browser. Flash powers some amazing experiences that work consistently across all of the major browsers in a way that cannot be replicated without Flash technology.
