How could something like the Creative Suite of just a few mainstay applications morph into an ecosystem of over a hundred distinct applications? Honestly, I use about six of these apps regularly.
#Problems with adobe revel update
It’s stunning actually, and as a Creative Cloud subscriber, I see 24 presented to me in my CC desktop application when I’m told it’s time to update something (or when I'm forced to click on it to shoo away a notification). That’s 117 different applications spanning across multiple platforms and a plethora of creative uses. There are presently 13 pages with nine different apps shown per page. In the time I stopped paying attention to every app they released, simply because I didn't have the capacity, their apps ballooned in number. I know I did recently, and as I clicked page after page, the situation of their app economy became even clearer to me. If you go to Adobe’s website today, you might stumble upon this page that lays out all of Adobe’s applications. There are eleven pages, each with nine apps, of Adobe Apps. At first, I was paying attention to every one, like Sketch and Draw and apps like Kuler which eventually evolved into Color.īut it wasn't long before I was not able to pay attention to every app and give each the attention they deserved. Recently, I was thinking back on the launch of Creative Cloud and how not long after, a steady stream of applications seemed to flow out of their California headquarters (I mean that as a plural headquarters, like San Jose and San Francisco, together). In short, I pay attention to and speak out about Adobe because I use their stuff every day. I use an Adobe app at least once per day, and my taskbar is one third Adobe apps, ranging from InDesign and Premiere to Photoshop and Lightroom. I want success for brands like Adobe and always hearing praise isn't how a company continues to evolve and succeed.



That outspoken dichotomy is a result of a fact about me: if I love your products, I expect the creators to love and respect them in kind. I’ve personally been following Adobe for years as both a big fan and a harsh critic of their products, dating back to the first time I ever opened an Adobe application in 2002.
