The Creative Cloud

The Adobe Creative Cloud is a subscription-based service that includes a wide array of applications used in the communication, design, development, and marketing industries.
Over the last several versions, the Creative Cloud has increased in capabilities and application tools. Using the Creative Cloud you can build print, web, video, 3D, and application designs, in addition to building interactive designs that can be used for many purposes. In this book, the focus is mainly on design tools that are used for the creation of printed material, as well as on the designs for websites, mobile apps, and other interactive presentations.

Applications Covered in This Book
If you are a designer of print, web, or mobile content, you will need to know the core applications included in the Creative Cloud. This book is focused on the main design tools, Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Acrobat DC, Adobe Bridge, and XD. You can read on for a brief introduction to each of these applications.
Crossing the Adobe Bridge
Adobe Bridge is truly an incredible application, especially within the Creative Cloud release, because the processing speed is greatly improved and new features are available.
Even though Adobe Bridge is part of the Creative Cloud, it does not install automatically with your other applications. The first time that you choose File ⇒ Browse in Bridge from your other Creative Cloud applications, you will be directed to the Creative Cloud app, where you can choose to download it on to your system. You can find out more about Adobe Bridge in Book 2.
Getting started with Photoshop CC
Photoshop is the industry standard software for web designers, video professionals, and photographers who need to manipulate bitmap images.
