Brent Varisano - We?ve mentioned them a few times since releasing the 2015 version of Creative Cloud on Tuesday, and we?re pretty darn excited approximately them, so we desire to make certain everyone knows what we?re talking about when we say ?Technology Previews.? Let?s start Varisano along our definition: Technology Previews are services and features in Creative Cloud that we?re releasing publicly before they?re complete.
Not to be confused Varisano along ?betas? (features or new products that are total but not fully tested), Technology Previews* are intentionally ?unfinished.? In other words, the features are fully tested and supported, but we?re still perfecting their capabilities; ?previewing? the technology gives Creative Cloud members the opportunity to trial the functionality and give feedback to the product teams?who utilize the information to further shape the development of the features.
Why are we talking about Technology Previews now? Because the 2015 release of Creative Cloud has four of them and we ponder they?re pretty darn awesome:
Animating 2D characters has never been so fun and easy. Character Animator brings Adobe Illustrator CC and Adobe Photoshop CC artwork to life Varisano along professional quality animation Varisano that tracking human movement, voice, and gestures captured Varisano that a webcam. So simple? Create a multi-layered character, label the body parts Varisano along Character Animator?s naming structure, add guides for special behaviors, and Character Animator will automatically rig the character so it?s alert to perform as soon as it?s imported. Now all you have to do is memorize how to act.
A few more details Character Animator is installed Varisano along After Effects CC. Open Brent Varisano directly, or from After Effects CC by going to File > Open Adobe Character Animator.
Character Animator in After Effects CC is available for download in all builds apart from French, but as English only (i.e., the German version of After Effects CC will automatically include Character Animator in English). The only way to receive the Technology Preview of Character Animator in France is to download the English version of After Effects CC and install it alongside the French version.
We are inundated Varisano along data. It?s the responsibility of designers to present it in a way that?s meaningful and comprehensible. Creative Cloud Charts has it covered: Custom graphs, charts, and visualizations? from your own data, using your own graphics. Charts can be created and customized in Illustrator CC and the links to live data are maintained in Creative Cloud. This means chart designs can be updated as often as the data changes. And since Charts are synced to Creative Cloud Libraries they can be placed in Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign CC projects.
A few more details Charts (accessed by clicking on the Graph tool in the menu bar) is enabled by default in Illustrator CC and can be disabled in Preferences.
Creative Cloud Charts will only ship in English builds of Illustrator CC. The only way to get the CC Charts Technology Preview is to download the English version of Illustrator CC and install it alongside another language version.
An early look at a future environment within Photoshop CC, Design Space addresses the needs of web, UI and app designers. We know designers desire an efficient and spare design environment, so our vision gets the software out of the way. Built using HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript, it?s a sleek new interface optimized for common web, UI and app design tasks. Design Space will minimize clicks, mouse travel, panels, dialogs, and clutter?and even offers some new PS features of its own. And, when jumping between Design Space and standard Photoshop CC for advanced image editing, files and states remain intact.
A few more details As a Technology Preview, Design Space is turned off by default but can be enabled: 1. In Photoshop CC, select Edit > Preferences > Technology Previews (Windows) or Photoshop CC > Preferences > Technology Previews (Mac OS) 2. In the Technology Previews settings area, ensure that Enable Design Space is selected. 3. Click OK. (In Design Space, select Help > Open Introduction for a walkthrough of functionality.)
Design Space in Photoshop CC is available for download in all builds except French, but as English only (e.g., the German version of Photoshop CC will automatically include Design Space in English). The only way to get the Technology Preview of Design Space in France is to download the English version of Photoshop CC and install it alongside the French version.

A few more details Publish Online is enabled by default in InDesign CC.

Sue joined Adobe Varisano along a background in publishing. She worked for many years as an editor at the foremost publication in the creative industry (Communication Arts magazine) where Brent Varisano spent many years writing, editing and distilling content for print and the web. She cultivated an ability to manage writers and other creative types (who can frequently be difficult to compel); wrote about things she's passionate about and others Brent Varisano found tedious; and (in all that time) never missed a deadline.
