Adobe Announces Creative Cloud Updates for Photoshop, Lightroom, Illustrator and Launches Premiere Rush

I loved Aperture but having migrated to Lightroom, it’s now clear to me that Apple was so far behind that they could never possibly catch up unless they built up a team the size of a dedicated pro photography company within Apple.

I like the route that Apple is on now. They rebuilt Photos from the ground up with a framework for allowing 3rd party apps to natively lend their resources to Photos. While I can’t imagine Photos being an app for professionals, it’s getting to the point that it’ll meet the demands of 99.9% of consumers and prosumers.

I’ll continue using Lightroom. Cloud editing is seriously fantastic for a professional. Shoot, wirelessly upload from my camera to my phone on location, do some culling on my iPhone X, edit and share a few photos from the field, then get to my iPad Pro back in my studio where the photos are waiting for me, edit them there, then go to my Mac to finalize everything and upload them to my site, ready for the client to download. It works seamlessly and incredibly well, with each device used according to its strengths.

I can imagine Affinity trying to make a run at Lightroom, not Apple. On the other hand, if Apple were to acquire Affinity...

Yeah...Apple buying affinity would be great but frankly I don't see that happening. I have to say I hate Lightroom. I tried and gave up. Im still using aperture. Im old school No need to wirelessly upload etc. Bunch of SD cards does the trick and I am not a great fun of cloud anything. Also I refuse to pay monthly fee so I will never jump on Adobe wagon again.

When they announced the discontinuation 4 years ago I was secretly hoping Apple would acquire Adobe and make it their pro-apps department. Combine the best of premier and final cut, after effects and motion... and more importantly introduce the buy once and upgrade forever model that Apple software has.

Lets face it. Adobe code is a joke and a mess. Apple buying Adobe would have to trash all applications and re-write them from scratch. I dont think it will ever happen.

So much complaining...
If you run a company that uses this software, it is great, no complaints.

No complain, I just do prefer perpetual licenses and I wish CS would come back as an alternative option to CC.

Another thumbs up for the Serif Affinity line, by the way. Very much looking forward to their publishing app.

I just tested Illustrator 2019, Adobe claims zoom is faster but it stutters more than before in GPU mode, and dragging objects around is also more 'laggy'. I'm going back to 2018 until Adobe fixes the responsiveness/performance issues.

Sorry it's ridiculous vector software in 2019 is this laggy. I'm on a 4ghz i7 16gb SSD, GTX 1060 hackintosh with High Sierra.
