With inputs from Gyanesh Talwar. Videos and graphics by Kalika Arora.

Some of your favorite Adobe Creative Cloud mobile apps—Adobe Photoshop Lightroom for mobile, Adobe Post, and Adobe Premiere Clip—now support 3D Touch gestures, a new capability that Apple recently introduced on the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus models. This capability allows your iPhone to sense and respond to the amount of pressure you apply to the display. Adobe support for 3D Touch gestures is in addition to existing support for familiar multi-touch gestures, such as tap, swipe, and pinch.

Supported 3D touch gestures

Quick Actions let you access the most frequently-used actions right from the home screen. For instance, you can instantly bring up Lightroom’s in app camera, directly begin a project from within the camera roll in Adobe Clip, or quickly search for free photos in Adobe Post. You can perform these quick actions directly from your home screen by deep pressing your Creative Cloud app’s launcher icon.

The Peek and Pop interaction lets you quickly preview (Peek) your photo in the Lightroom mobile grid view with a light press, without having to actually open it. Then when you want to open it, press a little deeper to Pop it open in the Loupe view. Easy, isn’t it?

Note: Apple has introduced the 3D touch feature only on iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus models running iOS9 or later. Therefore, Adobe support for 3D touch gestures is limited to these iPhone models.

Making the most of 3D gestures in Adobe apps

So how do I use these new gestures in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom for mobile, Adobe Premiere Clip, and Adobe Post? We’re glad you asked!

Three new Asset sharing tips to get the most out of AEM

$

The ever-growing demand for personalized and immersive customer experience anywhere, anytime fuels the need for richer content across diverse devices through various channels.

It forces organizations to relentlessly look for ways to not only increase the quality and quantity of content but also the speed with which it is delivered.

For organizations that are nimble in their business, “content velocity” is the new philosophy that drives processes and technology around content.

The integration of Adobe Creative Cloud (CC) and Adobe Marketing Cloud (MAC) through Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), provides Marketing an efficient channel to collaborate closely with creative agencies. Marketing can quickly share approved content for editing or review jobs. The creative agency can return completed jobs through the same channel. Marketing can then quickly publish the content to multiple channels.

CC-MAC integration principally fosters seamless content collaboration between Marketing and Creative.

By itself, Marketing Cloud supports robust asset creation, editing, and approval workflows that enable you quickly source content and share it with channel partners and within the organization.

AEM Assets provides features that enable you to define different access levels and provide differentiated functionality around content for different parties you collaborate with. What’s more, you can define the access limits and the period for which the content is available to users.

Basically, you can categorize features based on access rights available to users, which supports different collaboration levels both inside of and outside your organization.

Collaborate with your extended team that has access to Assets

First Point

Consider a scenario where you want to share brand assets approved by Legal with the extended team to enforce uniform branding across all departments. To share the assets, you can place them in private folders and provide differential access to user groups within your organization.

Alternatively, you can use Collections to share assets with users.

Share assets with users who don’t have access to Assets

Second Point

Consider a scenario where, as a car manufacturer, you want to share first-cut product brochures/infographics for your latest SUVs with distributors ahead of the launch to provide a few brand positioning tips and seek feedback. AEM Assets’ Link Sharing feature comes in handy here. It allows you to share a URL from where distributors can preview and download the assets. Sharing assets through a URL ensures that users cannot edit your original assets in AEM. Also, you can configure the link to expire after a specific interval of time.

Provide a collaborative media platform to partners

Third Point

The options discussed above allow you to share assets with a closed group of users in a limited way. If you are a large/medium organization, building a secure platform to share/distribute digital assets in a controlled manner without exposing your core digital asset management system to external parties is a big challenge.

For example, you may want to share pics of a photoshoot featuring trendy summer fashion apparels that you plan to showcase as part of the upcoming launch of your summer apparels collection.

To meet this challenge, you require seek full-scale media portal capabilities to quickly share digital assets with channel partners to collaborate/seek feedback in an effort to design a stellar marketing campaign.

Adobe’s Brand Portal is best suited for such scenarios because it provides the following:

  • Seamless collaboration with creative partners
  • Browser-based self-serve environment
  • User personas

Create animations using Adobe InDesign

In collaboration with Gauri Arankalle / Panicker

Have you ever wondered why we remember the cartoons we watch but forget all textbooks we read? Imagine how easy it will be to teach and learn new concepts if they were animated!

Adobe InDesign, with great interactive features, empowers you to make your content engaging. You can not only move objects across a page, but also make them grow, shrink, fade, rotate, and spin. InDesign offers you the flexibility to use the available presets to create animations, modify their properties, and customize the paths along which you want to move your objects. Add to this the ease with which you can publish the content online.

Here’s a simple learning module created in InDesign. Keeping the target audience (restless little kids) in mind, we have used a variety of simple animations to make learning fun.

Click here to view the published document with animations.

Want to know how we animated these objects? Just follow these steps!

Create a document

  1. In Adobe InDesign, select File > New > Document to create a document. In the New Document dialog box, choose Web as the Intent from the drop-down menu. In this example, we have taken the page size as 800×600 pixels. Click OK.
  2. After opening the document, choose Digital Publishing from the workspace switcher in the Application bar.
  3. Add the text and graphics to your document.

Use and customize motion presets

Choose Window > Interactive > Animation to open the Animation panel. You can add motion presets, edit settings, and modify the properties of the animated object, such as opacity and transformations, using this panel. Now, let’s look at the following example to understand how we can use a motion preset and customize its properties.

  1. Select the object you want to animate using the Selection tool.
  2. Enter a name for the object you want to animate in the Animation panel.
  3. In this example, the ball bounces when you click the page. To achieve this, choose Bounce > Bounce Vertical from the Preset drop-down menu.
  4. Choose On Page Click from the Events drop-down menu.

Note: After you choose a preset, the On Page Load option is selected by default. To avoid the selection of multiple events, deselect undesired options.

  1. Click the Preview icon () in the Animation panel to see the outcome.
  2. When you select the object to which you have applied a motion preset, the motion path starting from the center of the object appears. To edit this path, select it using the Selection tool. Now, use the Direct Selection tool to adjust the end points of the motion path.
  3. Enable the Show Animation Proxy () option at the bottom of the Animation panel to display the proxy at the end of the motion path.
  4. Let the duration remain 3.125 seconds (default).

Note: The prefix Custom appears in the default preset name if any setting in the Animation panel is modified.

Now, let’s look at another example where we have applied multiple animations to the same object. For instance, we have animated the wings of one honey bee, saved this animation as a preset, and then applied the saved preset to animate the wings of other honey bees on the page. Later, we have animated the honey bees to fly along a customized motion path. The order of the animations was controlled using the Timing panel.

Save a custom motion preset and apply it on multiple objects

  1. Group the wings of each honey bee.
  2. Select the wings of the honey bee on the page.
  3. Choose Disappear from the Preset drop-down menu in the Animation panel.
  4. Choose On Page Click from the Events drop-down menu.
  5. Set the Duration of the animation to 0.125 seconds.
  6. Select the Loop option in the Animation panel.
  7. Under Properties, select From Current Appearance from the Animate drop-down menu.
  8. Choose Fade In from the Opacity drop-down menu to gradually increase the opacity of Wings_1 as it flies in from the bottom of the page.
  9. Choose Save from the panel menu to save the current motion preset.
  10. Specify the name of the motion preset as Wings_Animation in the Save Preset dialog box.
  11. Now, to apply this motion preset to animate the wings of other honey bees, choose Wings_Animation from the Presets drop-down list.

Note: Saved presets are listed above the default presets in the list of available presets.

Create a motion path

  1. Group the honey bee with its respective wings.
  2. Name the group as HoneyBee_1 in the Animation panel.
  3. Draw a motion path using the Pen tool as shown in the screenshot below.
  4. Select the drawn path and HoneyBee_1 using the Selection tool while holding the Shift key.
  5. Click the Convert To Motion Path () icon in the Animation panel to transform the drawn path into a motion path. The path created using the Pen tool loses its stroke color and weight after you convert it into a motion path. Additionally, the motion path appears as a green line with small dots and an arrow at one of the end indicating the direction of the path.Note: When you click the Convert to Motion Path icon, the path aligns itself with the center of the selected object.
  1. Choose On Page Click from the Events drop-down menu.
  2. Adjust the duration of the animation in the Animation panel. In this example, we have set the duration to 1.5 seconds.
  3. Choose the Ease In And Out option from the Speed drop-down list.
  4. Under Properties, choose To Current Appearance option from the Animate drop-down list.
  5. Change the orientation point of the animation proxy to direct the object along the motion path. In this example, we have adjusted the angle to 59 degrees in the Rotate box.11. Select the Hide Until Animated option.

Reorder the animated objects using the Timing panel

  1. Go to the Timing panel (Window > Interactive > Timing) to adjust the order of the animations. Objects with the same event selected from the Animation panel are displayed together in the Timing panel. You can choose the desired option from the Event(s) drop-down menu. Here, we want the honey bees to fly in one after the other. To do this:
    • Select Wings_1 and HoneyBee_1 in the Timing panel.
    • Click the Play Together () icon in the lower-right corner of the panel.
    • Repeat these steps for the remaining honey bees.
  2.  Click the Preview icon in the Animation panel or the Timing panel. The preview opens in the EPUB Interactivity Preview window.

Publish the document

You can save your document as an InDesign file (.indd), export it in SWF format (File > Export), or publish it online by clicking the Publish Online icon () in the Application bar. For more information, see Publish Online.

Some tips that come handy while animating objects in InDesign

  • You should accurately name the objects that you want to animate in the Animation panel. This helps you to easily arrange the order of animations in the Timing panel.
  • To reapply the same animation settings to other objects, you can save a custom animation as a preset. Choose Save from the Animation panel menu.
  • When you choose options from the Event(s) drop-down menu in the Animation panel, more than one event can be selected for a particular animation. To ensure that you select the desired option, deselect the default option.
  • To export animations to a PDF document, follow the steps below:
    1. In InDesign, export the animations in SWF format.
    2. Launch Acrobat.
    3. In Acrobat, choose File > Create > PDF From File.
    4. Browse and select the saved SWF file.
    5. Click Open.
    6. Preview the animations in Acrobat and save the file on your computer.

The examples in this blog post are simple illustrations to get you started with animations in InDesign. Play with the presets and properties in the Animation panel and the Timing panel and explore endless possibilities! Share the links of your documents with us in the Comments section.

Guest post by Siddharth Singh, Software Engineer, Adobe

Whether you are a photographer or a creative designer, you know the importance of having all your creative work lined up beautifully in the form of a portfolio to impress prospective clients. If you’re looking for the best way to build an online portfolio of your work, Adobe Bridge CC has a solution for you!

With the new Adobe Portfolio publish service introduced in the October 2017 release of Bridge CC, it is now super-easy to showcase your work to the world. You can now create and publish a website featuring your creative work in just a few clicks. If you are an existing Creative Cloud member, you can start using the Adobe Portfolio service right away. Adobe Portfolio is included in your Creative Cloud subscription.

Let’s get started

Before you begin using the Adobe Portfolio publish service in Bridge, make sure that you sign in to the Creative Cloud desktop app using your Adobe ID. Then, launch the latest Adobe Bridge CC (October 2017 release). You’ll see the Adobe Portfolio option in the Publish panel of the Essentials workspace.

Click the Adobe Portfolio option to open a section where you can drag and drop your files. Select multiple files and drag them onto the Publish panel. You can select images and audio and video files to create a project in Adobe Portfolio. For detailed steps, see Publish assets to Adobe Portfolio.

When your files have been uploaded successfully, Bridge displays a message on your screen with the link to your newly created Adobe Portfolio project. In case your network goes off during the upload, don’t worry! As soon as the network connectivity is restored, Bridge will retry to upload your files.

How Bridge handles RAW image files

If you shoot your photos in RAW format and have large image files, Bridge automatically converts your files into lighter JPEGs and uploads them to the Portfolio website. This saves you from the hassle of converting the files to RAW and speeds up the process of uploading files. Besides images, Portfolio also supports video and audio files. You can find a list of supported file formats here.

Upload is successful! Visit your website

One important thing to remember is that project created from Bridge does not get published automatically. You need to go to the Portfolio website to publish it.

When you open your project on the Portfolio website from Bridge (after logging in to the Portfolio website with your Adobe ID), you can choose how to display your work and customize as per your needs using the Portfolio project editor.

After making the desired changes, you can publish your project immediately and make it available to the world.

Great! What’s next?

Adobe Portfolio offers easy-to-customize layouts that are designed specifically with creative professionals like you in mind, so that you can showcase your best work. See what you can do with Adobe Portfolio to learn more about this service.

Give more power to your workflows: Adobe Bridge integrates CEP

Guest post by Siddharth Singh, Software Engineer, Adobe

Adobe Bridge offers many powerful features to effectively manage your digital assets and is used in many ways by the creatives. For smooth interoperability with the Creative Cloud applications, Bridge has become an essential part of the established workflows for the Creative community. Scripting in Bridge using ExtendScript enables users to customize Adobe Bridge as per their specific requirements. Whether it’s bulk metadata updating or image processing, Bridge has been used to perfect many different types of automated workflows.

With CEP integrated into Adobe Bridge CC 2018 (October 2017 release | 8.0), workflow automation has just got easier. With the arsenal of web technologies at your disposal, designing complex and beautiful extensions is a breeze. If you are a web developer or have a basic knowledge of HTML, JavaScript, and CSS, you’re all set to extend Bridge functionalities as per your requirements now!

So, what’s workflow automation?

In case you are wondering about the need for scripting or workflow automation, think of a scenario where you have to convert your latest photoshoot’s RAW photos to JPEGs, add watermark, tag keywords, add copyright in the metadata, and then upload the photos to a cloud-based web service for your client. This is a workflow! Now, if you have to do all these tasks every time you do a shoot, wouldn’t it be convenient to have an automated solution – you just select the files and the solution does all the steps of your workflow efficiently. That’s where CEP and Bridge scripting can do wonders.

What is CEP?

CEP or Common Extensibility Platform (formerly known as CSXS – Creative Suite Extensible Services) is a shared technology, which provides a rich platform to create and run HTML5-based extensions across Adobe Creative Cloud products. The extensions created using the CEP framework extend the functionality of the host application, using HTML5, JavaScript, ExtendScript, and CSS. With CEP in Bridge, developers having knowledge of web technologies like HTML5, CSS and JQuery can extend the functionality of Bridge and automate complex workflows easily. Just for the geeks, CEP makes use of Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) to render HTML, giving you the full power of a browser behind your panels.

With CEP, you can easily design your complex user interfaces for panels or dialogs using CSS and jQuery, just like any website. Moreover, Node.js\NPM support in CEP brings in the whole node ecosystem and tons of third-party packages to meet every requirement. In combination with these technologies, you can also use ExtendScript as before to automate Adobe applications-related workflows along with CEP. Adobe Creative Cloud Libraries, built using this technology, lets you communicate with other Creative Cloud apps, such as Photoshop and Illustrator.

Working with CEP and ExtendScript

ExtendScript was designed by Adobe to add more capabilities to JavaScript with a purpose to extend the functionality of Adobe applications. CEP and ExtendScript play well together and complement each other. While CEP provides the power of web technologies inside the Bridge panels, ExtendScript provides the automation capabilities needed to support your workflows.

And, you can sell your add-ons!

If you have designed a cool extension for Adobe Bridge that can help others as well, you have got a marketplace to sell your creation! Adobe Exchange portal is the marketplace for CEP-based extensions and now supports Adobe Bridge. To monetize your extension, all you have to do is to create and upload your extension on the Adobe Exchange portal.

What all can you do using CEP?

If you use Bridge to manage your processed creations, how about creating CEP extensions to share your content on Facebook, Flicker, Behance etc. directly from a Bridge panel? If you wish to share your creations locally in the form of an image gallery, Bridge and CEP are the tools to use. You can also store your assets in the cloud, like Adobe Creative Cloud Assets website, Google Drive, or similar web-based storage solutions from the Bridge panel using CEP. If you still use emails or shared drives to get peer feedback for your creations, how about creating a real-time asset review panel for it using web sockets? With the power of ExtendScript and features like XMP SDK and Vulcan APIs, it is easy to operate on the metadata of your files and communicate with other Creative Cloud applications. These are just a few ideas, the possibilities are endless with Bridge-CEP integration.

What all do you need?

If you have the latest version of Adobe Bridge CC and a text editor, you are good to go! There is plenty of documentation for CEP to help create and monetize your extensions. The best place to start is Adobe CEP GitHub page, which includes lots of CEP-related documentation and samples.

Bridge documentation is available here along with some samples to get you started. You can download the latest Bridge CC 2018 SDK from here. So, just expand your creative wings and start creating powerful extensions to enhance your workflows!
