Hi!
Welcome back to the PhotoshopTrainingChannel.com.
I'm Jesus Ramirez.
This video is going to be a little different than what you're used to.
We're not going to cover a Photoshop or Lightroom, but instead, we're going to focus on the brand
new Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app.
I'll cover some of the new features and give you a brief overview.
I think it's a huge improvement over the old app.
I would love to know if you disagree, or you agree.
Let me know down in the comments below after you watch the video.
So let's just get right to it.
This is the brand new Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app.
It's much bigger than the previous version.
It overtakes the entire screen, and it allows you to see all your Creative Cloud apps.
You can see which ones are installed in your computer,
and which ones are included in your subscription.
To open an app, you can simply click on the open button.
If the app is not installed, then you'll see an install button.
To check if an app has an update, click on the updates section.
And if you haven't set your apps to automatically update,
you can update each one by hand, or update them all at once.
Let me show you how you can set them to automatically update.
If you go into file and preferences, this window will come up.
Then you can click on apps, and you can set the auto update options in this window.
I'm gonna click on done,
and I'm gonna click on the 'all apps' section so that we can see how the apps are now organized.
They're organized by device type.
We have desktop, mobile, and web.
And the apps could also be organized by category.
Photography, design and layout, video and motion, illustration, UI and UX.
This is a great way of discovering new apps that can help you with the types of projects
that you're working on.
If you want to learn more about an app, you can click on this icon to open an overview
of the app and its key features, as well as streaming videos and written tutorials.
And actually, for the Lightroom section, these are my videos.
I have a photo editing course, seven tutorials.
How to remove distracting objects from a photo, which is just one tutorial.
And a local adjustments course, all on Lightroom of course.
So check those out, just go into your Creative Cloud app and click on those links.
I'm gonna click on this back button to go back into the previous photography category.
And I also wanna point out that on these boxes that contain the apps, you can find out on
what type of devices you can install that particular app.
For example, you can install Lightroom on a desktop,
a mobile device,
or you can use the web app.
If you want to install an older version of the app, just click on the three dot icon
and select 'other versions.
And you can install an older version of the app.
Below the category section, you have the resource links.
These will open up a web page to things like Adobe Stock, where you can download photos,
videos, and 3D assets.
Adobe Fonts, which of course allows you to download fonts that you can use in your designs.
Behance, which is a community for creatives.
Tutorials, and a support community.
This is this forum here.
For example, you can click on Photoshop, and if you have any issues with your apps, this
is a great resource.
You can get your questions answered, or you can help someone else by answering their questions.
Also, there's a 'Your Work,' tab.
When you click on that, you'll be able to see your Creative Cloud libraries.
This is one of my libraries, it contains 3D assets.
They're all here.
There's also a search bar where you can search for anything that you like.
For example, if I type in 'clone,'
and click on search, the app will first look through your libraries.
In this case, I don't have anything with the word 'clone,' but if I click on 'all,' the
search will apply to other categories, apps, help, stock, and your work.
For example, you will see tutorials on the clone tool, the apps that reference that keyword
inside of it - Photoshop and Lightroom in this case - forum questions and answers.
There's also Adobe Stock assets with that keyword.
So it's a really powerful search feature.
These are the basics of the new Adobe Creative Cloud app.
Let me know down in the comments below
if you like this version better, or you prefer the previous one.
Like I said earlier in the video, I like this version much, much better.
Also, don't forget to check out my latest tutorial on expanding and bending a building in Photoshop.
Even though you may never want to bend a building in Photoshop, I recommend watching this video
because I show a really cool technique with the mixture brush.
I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
And of course if this is the first time that you visit the Photoshop Training Channel,

Thank you so much for watching, I'll talk to you again in the next tutorial.
