Quote:Ask any creative about the favorite part of their job, and it’s unlikely someone will answer “the mundane tasks.” Things like adapting a single element across hundreds (if not thousands) of assets, or going through the pains of re-working a previewed stock photo after attaining the license. And yet, those same tasks are all-too-often a habitual part of what creatives still do today – and something Adobe has worked to streamline through the capabilities in and the tight integration of Adobe Stock and Creative Cloud Libraries.
The popular Adobe Stock service gives you high-quality, curated images, illustrations, vectors, graphics, videos, and more from a vast collection of over 100 million assets to choose from, integrated right into your CC tools. And powerful new collaboration features like CC Libraries allow you to access, share, and update assets everywhere across your desktop and devices as well as those of your colleagues, automatically.
Using Adobe Stock and CC Libraries Is up to 10X Faster
Content velocity continues to increase, and creatives now produce more content than ever before. But if you could save 90% of your time working with stock assets because they are now built into your everyday tools, would it be worth it? You can stop interrupting your creativity and instead search and license Adobe Stock assets directly inside your Creative Cloud apps… Use watermarked images to see how things look, and work with preview assets – and then later they’ll be replaced with high-res versions the moment you license them, so you can keep your ideas flowing.
And with CC Libraries, you can create and share images, colors, looks, text and character styles, brushes, patterns, videos, and more across your favorite Creative Cloud apps. This latest collaboration feature makes it easy to follow and share assets, as shared libraries automatically update across desktops and devices so that you and your team are always on the same page. Working with materials like style guides and branding elements has never been so fast and easy.

What the Research Says
Check out these recent Pfeiffer benchmark reports on Adobe Stock and CC Libraries to see how 10X productivity gains can be achieved. Streamlining a team’s frequent repetitive operations can end up saving hours over the course of a week.
Traditionally, stock imagery has been typically accessed through a web browser, downloaded to a computer, and edited with watermarks prior to sharing for approval, licensing, and re-editing of the finished asset. But because Adobe Stock is integrated directly into Creative Cloud desktop apps such as Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC, InDesign CC and more, you have access to the ever-growing catalog of assets without ever having to leave your design environment, and all edits made to a watermarked image are preserved once the image is licensed. In other words, a large number of steps are eliminated from the “traditional” process of working with and buying stock imagery.
