Want More Life In Your Pictures? Check Out Adobe Creative Cloud!

As I am doing a lot of edits to my pictures and photos taken on the daily basis, I am always looking for a quick and time-saving apps and tools that could contribute to my quality of work. Look what Best Buy has given us to try – Adobe Creative Cloud.

We all know that Adobe is big on enhancing our pictures and photographs and changing them in any way we like and want. What I am frequently looking for in my pictures is the crispiness and color intensity, and being able to do these changes quickly and without any complexities.

With Adobe Creative Cloud, I can do these changes in a couple of strokes.

Here’s my photo of the recipe ingredients BEFORE any enhancement and adjustment to the picture.

Here’s the photo AFTER all the changes I’ve implemented. Specifically, I’ve done the following:

• Increased the clarity
I wanted the kiwi seeds to really “pop” in the pictures, and that feature really added to that effect.

• Adjusted the contrast of objects in the image
Making pieces of fruit and towel in the background to contrast against each other brought more color into the scene.

There are some awesome functions in Adobe Creative Cloud that require no action on our behalf, just trial and error. They are called the Presets:

• General presents that have many options what a pictures will look like
• Creative presets allows us to make our photo shot more artsy
• Black & White presents would turn our image into different shades of greys, and
• Color presets will transform a photo into many looks with brights and colors and warm or cold look – you’re the one who will choose it!

Here’s what I did in a few strokes with another image. Here’s the BEFORE picture.

Here’s the AFTER example with quick manipulations done with the image.

My goal was to increase the size of the bowl with jam and flip the orientation of the image. I also did some touch-ups to enhance the clarity of jam scooped with the spoon. All of that does not require any training or sweat. Doable and completed within a couple of minutes. When it comes to time it takes to implement the desired changes, this is an awesome tool indeed.

We can do so much with Adobe Creative Cloud! The learning curve is there when you want to implement more difficult changes like planting image within an existing image, erasing objects in the image or any other imaginable task. All can be done.

And for those of us who love to share pictures – it can be done from the work panel as well! Share it to Twitter, Facebook, Google+. The images that are shared can be chosen by you as you organize them into collections and made-by-you selections.

If you are looking for tools that can do simple or more complex things with your photographs, Adobe Creative Cloud is one of them. I know that those people who have been using Adobe Photoshop for years, this is something to migrate to! Much easier to handle and share with your interest groups!

As the Adobe team says, “Take your best shot and make it even better with the Creative Cloud Photography plan.”
