Sneak Peek! Adobe Creative Cloud Photoshop: Introduction

Creative opportunities abound with Adobe’s Creative Cloud.  Last year, Adobe announced that it would no longer release new versions of its Creative Suite.  The plans for a cloud based software service that was first suggested in 2011, became a reality.

The Creative Cloud has many of the same features as the suite version, but there are new features as well.  There are also new mobile apps that give the end user more power and mobility in their creative expression.

Adding to our extensive library, we have recently completed recording on courses for Adobe Creative Cloud Photoshop: Introduction and Adobe Creative Cloud Photoshop: Advanced.  These courses will be available in the coming weeks on our website: www.knowledgecity.com
