1.Adobe Photoshop
Adobe Photoshop is by far the most popular image manipulation program. Originally created to work in the field of printing and preparing images for printing. Now it is actively used in the areas of: Web design, Cinema, TV, Design, Drawing, Polygraphy, CG art.
Photoshop was originally a raster graphics editor, now provides a lot of opportunities to work with both raster and vector graphics. Despite its wide capabilities, the program is closely connected with other means of image processing.
Currently program supports most raster formats (JPEG, TIFF, BMP, PCX, PSD), as well as some vector image formats (WMF). At the same time, the main format of Photoshop (PSD) is compatible with many other graphic editors. FS supports color models such as RGB, LAB, Duotone, Multichannel, CMYK.
The functions of the Photoshop program are truly diverse . Photoshop is both a powerful photo lab and a tool for creating digital images. Using a set of basic tools such as Paintbrush, Airbrush, Pen, and Pencil, you can draw and colorize your images. All of these tools make it possible to configure a number of parameters: the width of the stroke, the degree of erosion of the edges, rigidity and softness.
When working with images, FS makes it possible to work with layers. You can create montages and collages from several images, editing each as a separate, independent layer.
The control panel provides access to the main menu commands and interface management. The toolbar contains all the tools that you can use to edit the image. The options panel displays which tool is currently selected for operation. The palette area contains all the tools for manipulating the image. For those who want to navigate the program seriously, we advise you to take a textbook and gradually study what this or that team is for.
If you have a rich imagination, Photoshop will be a great helper in the embodiment of the most daring ideas. But what would the implementation of these ideas look like if not in the world of Photoshop?

Adobe had a long history with Dreamweaver and web development. Over the years many features have been added to the software but many have been removed. With ever-changing web development trends its hard for software to keep up with the trends but this version seems to be a very cutting edge.
This release of Dreamweaver is packed with exciting new features focused on CSS3, HTML5 and mobile web applications and development. It continues the topic with site design on how to respond layouts for cross-device compatibility. Besides the new features they added to the application, the way they are also integrated is much better with the rest of the package, which is now called Creative Cloud CC or for short. Adobe decided to abandon the naming of Creative Suite and called its new collection of Creative Cloud tools. This is because all applications are available for installation from the cloud, your assets, fonts, collaboration and social portfolio with Behance are stored in the cloud.
Dreamweaver is now a serious contender as a web development tool. In addition to Dreamweaver, Poison has access to other web development tools that are in a creative cloud, such as PhoneGap, Typekit, Edge Code and Edge Flash.
It really doesn’t matter where you work. Whether you are at home, laptop, at work or even at the clients table, you just log in with your creative cloud account and all your settings will be synchronized through the machines. Configured and optimized for your work laptop can now be mirrored instantly the second you log on your work iMac. This makes it very easy to save your settings and files the same on multiple computers. In addition having all your creative assets available from anywhere is a very useful feature.
Rubber mesh layouts
This is not a new feature but worthy of the expansion of the feature they introduced in CS6. Designing sites with grids is much simpler and saves a lot of time. Whats how they are added in this version is ease of use. Theres a collection of new icons and buttons that will help you in creating layouts with minimal effort. In addition, they are satisfied with the development of sites that respond. All of this was a craze last year with Responsive Web Design [RWD] and website development in responsive Dreamweaver CC is quick and easy.
There are 3 icons at the bottom of each view: mobile, tablet and desktop. You can easily and quickly switch between them to see how your site looks and behaves in all three. Using the new grid layout system that ships with Dreamweaver, you’ll see that your site runs on all three platforms.
Dreamweaver CC is a great web development tool and has always been. In the new version it certainly did not lag behind the standards and performed the design and development of methods. He is up to date with all new technologies and adapting to the new structure and methodology in web design. This is definitely worth the upgrade considering you get this as part of your creative cloud membership.

5. Adobe Spark
Adobe introduced Spark, an application available not only for mobile systems, but also in the web version. According to the developers, this program is designed to help small businesses and non-profit organizations create and edit images, websites and media files. Spark is a collection of three main components: Page, Post and Video. Previously, these utilities were stand-alone and were known, respectively, under the following names: Slate, Post and Voice.
Using Page, the user can create landing pages (the so-called landing pages) for companies. The operating principles of Page largely copy such well-known landing page creation services as Squarespace or Weebly. With the unconditional popularity of the latter, Adobe is confident that its target audience will use exactly Page.
The Post utility allows you to create all kinds of images and overlays for text, so that you can use the results as flyers for stores or social media. Post allows you to combine different fonts, use your own source images or under a Creative Commons license. The Post program also contains data on the preferred image file sizes for various social media, whether it's Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest or Instagram. After editing the material is completed, Adobe will allow you to place and save it, then to share the link on social networks. Such publications can even be downloaded.

5. Adobe Lightroom
At the end of January 2007 , Adobe announced the program Adobe Photoshop Lightroom . The program was conceived as a tool to make life easier for photographers and this idea was implemented very successfully!
The program has 2 huge differences from competitors:
1) the "non-destructive" method of working with photos is used
2) it is possible to process a large number of photos in a short period of time.
All changes to the photos that you take in Lightroom are recorded in the so-called Catalog , creating a sort of processing script, but the original photos themselves remain unchanged. And some changes made with one photo can be applied to any other selected photos in just a few clicks of the mouse.
If you have a SLR (or another camera that has the ability to shoot in RAW format) and you take a lot of pictures (or plan to do this), then the task will be to process several tens / hundreds of photos. Processing such a volume of photos in regular Photoshop can take a very long time, but Lightroom can cope with this task much faster.
The Lightroom interface consists of five modules - Library, Develop, Print, Slideshow and Web (Fig. 1). Each module is focused on solving a specific problem: the Library module is designed to import, structure, compare and select images; Develop - for color grading, retouching and other transformations, and with the help of Print, Slideshow and Web, you can send pictures to print, arrange a presentation or export them as an elementary web page.
The central place in the interface is occupied by a window located right in the middle. It displays imported pictures in thumbnail mode or individually in full size. On the left is a panel with presets, and on the right with settings, and in case of a module change, the panels change. At the very bottom is the Filmstrip panel, which remains unchanged regardless of which module the user is in, and serves as a kind of guide to the image library. Under the central window are the main tools - sorting, comparing, cropping, retouching, etc. The Toolbar is context-sensitive and varies depending on the active module. It can be customized to fit your needs. Right-click tools are added and removed.

6. Adobe Fresco
When Adobe first announced its new drawing and drawing application for professional creators and artists at Adobe Max 2018, it was called Project Gemini. A stunning preview has whetted the appetites of many design software fans. Now, ten months later, the long-awaited moment has come: the launch of Adobe Fresco (its official name) is at least in a fully functional beta version. The interface is so clean and intuitive that even a novice can enjoy using Fresco.
When Apple introduced touch-screen drawing and the iPhone in 2007, they opened creative windows for artists to begin to push the boundaries of what you can draw with your iPhone. In fact, for the New Yorker magazine , released in June 2009, Jorge Colombo released the world's first case created on the iPhone using the Brushes app. With the release of the iPad in 2010, the canvas became larger, and stylus developers began to develop tools that would offer more accuracy than a finger.
Taking a step forward, Adobe identified an unused opportunity by introducing in 2015 the most expressive and accurate stylus available: Apple Pencil (now in the second generation).
With Fresco, artists and illustrators should no longer fall into the oddities of hands with an eyeball that occur when the hand draws in another place (on the tablet) where the image (monitor) is. Of course, there are clumsy hardware solutions to work around, but there has never been an application built from scratch to take advantage of the innovative features of the iPad-Apple Pencil.
Several noteworthy drawing and drawing apps compete for the attention of artists such as Procreate ($ 9,99), Tayasui Sketches Pro ($ 19,999), Concepts (free, with in-app purchases; $ 14,999), FiftyThree / WeTransfer Paper (free, with app purchases; Pro, $ 11, 99) and my favorite Writeon Inkredible handwriting app (free, with offers in the app). Let's look at what distinguishes Fresco from these.

7. Adobe Premiere Pro
Adobe Premiere Pro - software for non-linear video editing. The system works on any device, providing support for Microsoft Surface Dial and the ability to change the Touch Bar when working on a MacBook Pro.
This is a professional solution that is used by representatives of the television and film industries. Using the program, you can create a movie, a short video, an advertising video or a news story for broadcasting. The software is suitable for marketing specialists, professional operators, including freelancers and owners of their own business.
Adobe Premiere Pro allows you to trim using both the mouse and keyboard. Most operations are controlled by keyboard shortcuts that you can configure yourself. The service provides the ability to work with several projects simultaneously, instantly switch between scenes and episodes, as well as options for editing and copying one part of the video to another. Thanks to managed access, you can block projects in the development process so that other members of the editing group do not make unnecessary edits. Graphic layers added to the movie are automatically adapted to the position or changes in the proportions of the remaining layers of the frame. Using the Library section, you can download additional resources from Adobe Stock to get original screen background templates, various options for captions or screensavers. The elimination of noise, the addition of virtual reality effects, as well as blur, sharpness, radiance, chromatic aberration are provided. The system supports RAW, Sony X-OCN and WAV files, including more than 4 GB. The group project management section offers the Dynamic Link option, which integrates After Effects with Premiere Pro, which speeds up iterations and eliminates intermediate rendering.

Adobe has released a new version of the popular composer After Effects CC 2020. Design movie titles, screensavers, and transitions. Make a fire or cause rain. Liven up characters and logos. After Effects CC 2020, software for creating animated designs and visual effects that meets industry standards, brings the wildest ideas to life.
What's New in Adobe After Effects CC 2020:
- Improved playback and preview performance . Now, if necessary, to overlay or transform layers, you can use the resources of the GPU, rather than the central one, which speeds up the rendering.
Now, if necessary, to overlay or transform layers, you can use the resources of the GPU, rather than the central one, which speeds up the rendering. The rendering process in Adobe After Effects CC 2020 is also known as the transfer of bit blocks using software or hardware. DisplaySurface - the final stage of the transfer of bit blocks. It includes operations such as scaling frames, creating a checkerboard composition, and adjusting display colors. To display frames on the screen, Metal, OpenCL and CUDA technologies are used. Previously, Adobe After Effects CC 2020 used OpenGL to process image data. Additional enhancements to the preview system increase the stability of playback of cached frames in real time.
-Drop-down menu of effect controls . In the drop-down menu of effect controls (under the expression control menu), you can connect layer properties to the drop-down menu.
Create a drop-down menu to manage expressions, animation design templates, and basic properties. This menu provides users with more options for managing and setting properties.
Many users create expressions to perform several of the same tasks, such as binding properties. Adobe After Effects CC 2020 recognizes these expressions and performs the specified action immediately on all frames.
Create simpler expression controls to work with basic properties and create animation design templates. Take advantage of the new expression management menu, with which you can adjust many different settings at the same time and create templates that you can then modify in Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2020.
- Access text properties using expressions . Make global changes to text properties using expressions. Set a single font type, size, and style for multiple text layers in Adobe After Effects CC 2020 and animation design templates.
When using expressions, Adobe After Effects CC 2020 lets you make global changes to text properties. When working with any text expression and animation design templates, new expressions allow you to control text styles and the text itself. You can link multiple headers and change their style at the same time. This is important when you need to style headings in a single style. For example, in the title and final frames.
Set a single font type, size, and style for multiple text layers in Adobe After Effects CC 2020 and animation design templates. Link to the properties of a single text layer to easily apply changes throughout the composition.
- Alternative rectangular text blocks. If the .mogrt template in Adobe After Effects CC 2020 is created with the Alternate text fields for working with text option in the Edit Properties dialog box, use the specified replacement layer to define rectangular text blocks for the text layer.
In Adobe After Effects CC 2020, this alternate rectangular text box should be used for this text layer, and the red hover rectangle should be the same size or place as the replacement text; when the red hover rectangle is pressed, editing of the corresponding aeText text is activated.
The fallback text field information is stored in the aeMogrt template and assigned to the Adobe After Effects CC 2020 project.
When Adobe After Effects CC 2020 calculates rectangular text blocks for editing in the Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2020 software monitor, an alternate layer is used if one is configured.
- Increase the speed of working with figures . Create and edit shapes faster and more efficiently. Improving overall productivity thanks to projects containing shape layers.
This release has accelerated the response speed of the application when working with shapes in order to optimize the creative process. An improved function for managing a group of elements makes it easy to work with a large number of figures and switch between them.
Improving overall productivity thanks to projects containing shape layers.
Support for right-clicking to group or de-group grouping of shape layers (select multiple shapes in the timeline window, right-click and group or deselect grouping of shapes; or select multiple shapes in the preview window, right-click and through the Masks menu and shapes ”(group or ungroup the shapes).
- Time delay in shape layers . Streamline your work with an advanced feature group management feature. You can make the animation more dynamic by adjusting the time delay using the Loop tool.
- Improved support for EXR files. Do not waste time setting up. Import multi-layer EXR files (OpenEXR Bitmap) as compositions and start working on the composition. Edit each layer separately and add effects so that the images after rendering look more realistic.
In EXR format files with extended dynamic range, you can adjust colors and add multiple channels so that the graphic elements look as realistic as possible. EXR multi-channel files can contain all rendering passes that are necessary for working with composition layers. In the new version of Adobe After Effects CC 2020, you can import EXR files as a layered composition.
- Expression improvements. The following expression enhancements are offered in this release of Adobe After Effects CC 2020. Expression Editor Improvements:
New scroll function that prevents incorrect scroll adjustments when resizing a field using the carriage return character.

4. Adobe Acrobat Reader
Standard Windows tools do not allow you to open PDF files. In order to read such a file, you should download and install a third-party application. The most popular program for reading PDF documents today is Adobe Reader.
Acrobat Reader DC was created by Adobe, which is known for such graphics products as Photoshop and Premiere Pro . It was this company that developed the PDF format back in 1993. Adobe Reader is free, but some of the additional features are opened by purchasing a paid subscription on the developer's website.
Adobe Reader, like any other similar tool, can open PDF files. But in addition to this, it has convenient means for viewing a document: you can change the scale, expand the document, use the bookmark menu to quickly move around the file, change the display format of the document (for example, display the document in two columns), etc.
The program has a nice and convenient interface that allows you to quickly navigate between different sections of the document.
You can copy the text or image from the PDF, and then use the copied in other programs. For example, forward to a friend or paste into your presentation.
Adobe Reader allows you to add comments to the text of the document, as well as affix stamps on its pages. The appearance of the stamp and its contents can be changed.
Adobe Reader can scan an image from a scanner or saved on a computer, turning it into a page of a PDF document. You can also edit the file by adding, deleting, or changing its contents. The downside is the fact that these features are not available without buying a paid subscription. For comparison - in the PDF XChange Viewer program you can recognize the text or edit the original contents of the PDF absolutely free.
You can save the PDF document as a file of a different format. Supported saving formats: txt, excel and word. This allows you to convert the document to open it in other programms.
