 Welcome to Crash Course in Adobe Creative Cloud. My name is Becky Wiegand and I'm the Webinar Program Manager here at TechSoup Global. And I'm happy to be your host for today's event. Also joining us today is a preeminent expert in Adobe Creative Cloud, Paul Trani, the Senior Worldwide Creative Cloud Evangelist who is going to be talking to us today about his experience and his passion about helping designers build compelling content using their creativity and new technology with Adobe Creative Cloud. Whether it's using 3D printing touch devices or building cutting-edge web and mobile experiences, Paul is an award-winning designer and an Adobe Certified Instructor. And he's been doing this for 15 years. So I'm glad to have him here to help share his experience and excitement about Adobe Creative Cloud with you today. You'll also see on the back end Terry McGrath from Adobe. We also are joined by Clint Funk who's from Adobe and who will be our expert on the soup chat immediately following in our forums. And you'll see Sun Park, Karina Zubia, and Ali Bazdikian all from TechSoup who are on hand to help answer your questions and help you with any technical issues throughout the webinar. We at TechSoup are here in our headquarters in San Francisco. Go ahead and let us know where you're joining from. Paul is joining us from Colorado today. Chat in to let us know where you're on the line from. We have about 180 people in the room at the moment and that number is climbing quickly. While we do that and see where you're all from, a quick agenda look. We'll do an introduction to TechSoup for those of you who aren't familiar. We'll have a quick couple of polls to gauge your experience using Adobe Creative Cloud. And then we'll talk about the latest in print and web which is the way that we know that most nonprofits are using Adobe's tools right now. And so we'll talk about and be able to see in real time some of the great things you can do with Photoshop, Illustrator, Muse, and InDesign. And then Paul will also talk about mobile to desktop workflows. We'll have a few minutes just to talk about the Adobe Creative Cloud offer that's available through TechSoup. Have some time for Q&A. And then again, we'll have you join us in our soup chat in the forums immediately after if you have additional questions. So we're here at TechSoup Global, a network of 63 partner NGOs around the world serving 120 plus countries. And we do this all over this map, anyplaceuc.dot, serving 615,000 NGOs worldwide to the tune of nearly $5 billion in donated technology products and grants for the social goods, nonprofits, libraries, NGOs, foundations all across the board. And I'm happy to have been a recipient of many of those donations at 3 small nonprofits before I started at TechSoup. You can learn more about our programs at TechSoup.org. Now getting into the topic of the day with Adobe, this is a quick look at all of the different programs that are available in Adobe's Creative Cloud. And you'll see at the top of the page a link to where you can learn about the current offering. We'll talk more about this later on in the program, but if you want to skip ahead and look at that link you're welcome to go to TechSoup.org slash Adobe to see both the discounted Creative Cloud offer and some donated offers of specific Adobe applications that you can get through our donation program. It includes a lot of different applications that you may already be using like Photoshop and Illustrator and InDesign. And for those of you doing video production or audio work, there's just so much in this package. So we won't be able to cover everything in the course of an hour, but we want to make sure that you get a good overview of what the Creative Cloud has to offer. So before we do that, go ahead and click on your screen. What is your level of proficiency with Adobe Creative Cloud apps now? And we called it Adobe Creative Cloud here because that's what we're talking about today. But maybe you are a proficient user of Photoshop installed on your desktop or InDesign. And so if there's something like that, go ahead and chat into us to let us know because we know that people may be a pretty skilled expert in one tool and maybe not in the others. So let us know if there's some other that doesn't fit on this short list of options. A couple of people are commenting that they are skilled at most. We have a lot of people chiming in saying they understand the basics or use InDesign and Illustrator frequently. Thanks for chatting in. We are going to give just a couple more seconds so everyone can participate. Karen comments, I've hired people that know how to use the program. Totally have been in that boat too. Lots of people said that they use Photoshop and Acrobat on their desktop. It's skilled in the desktop or CS version, the Creative Suite version. So this may be the first introduction to the Creative Suite. I'm going to show the results really quickly and then I have one other quick question for you before I hand it over to Paul to show us what it's all about. So what is your level of proficiency? 58% say they understand the basics of some of those apps. So that's good to know. We do have quite a few people that have never used them at all, and a much smaller percentage, 7%, less than 7%, that feel like they are skilled at most of these apps. So we will probably spend a bit more time showing some of the cool things that can be done and maybe highlighting some of the cool things that you can do with the basics too because it looks like many people are basic or below in their skill level. And let's see, have you signed up for Creative Cloud membership at Adobe.com yet? And this is just for us to get an idea of who is already using it and who is not, or maybe you have signed up and you haven't actually begun using it yet. Maybe you are thinking about requesting it and haven't gotten there yet. So let us know, and this again helps inform us as your presenters today about where you are at and how you are feeling about it. Lots of people saying that they have a personal membership or somebody comments they have a team account, haven't signed up but used it yet. We know you can't see the chat messages coming in, so we will try and respond to those individually. And if there is anything useful that you share in the forums, sorry, in the chat window we will also try and chat that back out for the full audience. There are useful tips that you guys share. So just to show the results in so far, 42% of you have signed up, 31% have not, and maybe haven't signed up yet, and 18% haven't requested it yet, but maybe you will. So let's go ahead and have our expert today join us on the line. Thank you so much Paul for joining us. We are really glad to have you. Tell us a little bit about Adobe Creative Cloud and more importantly than that, show us what it can do. Thanks so much. Yeah, that's the plan guys. I'm just going to click through a couple of slides here. Welcome everyone. And again it's just a pleasure and honor to present to you. Going forward of course those resources on TechSoup, you guys can follow me online which is the best way to kind of see the latest. I would appreciate that. It kind of keeps the conversation going at PaulTranney, T-R-A-N-I dot com. So I'll try to speak as clear as possible. Hopefully I'm not blowing into the phone. I'll even pick up my receiver. All right guys, maybe this is a little better, but this is quite frankly the best I can do. So I will be as clear as possible. If you guys have any questions or if the audio cuts out just ping me online, PaulTranney.com or through Twitter which would be great. All right, thanks Karen. Thanks Dale. All right guys, let's move on. Because honestly, who is overwhelmed by all those icons when we showed the Creative Cloud apps or all of those Adobe apps? Chances are there's a lot going on that you may or may not be aware of. But at the end of the day we launched Creative Cloud which is a couple of years ago now. And it was just a way for people to have everything. And rather than me holding on to updates and teasing you with new features from year to year, as soon as things are built we give them directly to you. And even performance things. I can talk about performance in Illustrator, tapping into the GPU now rather than the CPU. So you're using hardware, it being hardware accelerated isn't, it is a feature but it's something you can take advantage of today. And so that's the whole idea around Creative Cloud is to get things to you as fast as possible. All right, so again it's everything you need to create your best work. As it says at the top there obviously written by a marketing person. I'm not a marketing person. I just want to show you what all this stuff does. I might bring up some other things like Creative Sync. I can talk about Adobe Stock as well. I can get into a lot of these new features which are seemingly kind of overwhelming. But I'm going to go ahead and just share my screen. So at this point I'm going to share my screen guys and we're going to dive right into this. So sorry about clicking through those slides but I didn't want anybody to go into a slide coma. So nonetheless let's just make sure I can see chat and all that good stuff. And let's kind of move on from there. All right, so you guys should actually be able to see my screen now. Let me know if you don't. Looks good to me, Paul. My screen, thank you. So literally guys when you log in I don't even know that I'm on the Creative Cloud site or Adobe site. It looks like it's my site because it gives you your icon and all of your apps and all of your apps that you can access. So check this out. This is where I like to go. I log in. Let me just turn off those chat notifications. And I can jump into desktops. I encourage you guys to do this. You'll scroll down. You'll see all of these desktop apps. You guys mentioned Photoshop and Design, Illustrator, things like that. But look at this long list and I really want to kind of highlight the top ones. But you can jump in and see what's new or start to download Photoshop for instance. And again, it's all these new features that we had to define by date. So if you click Download for Photoshop, what's going to happen is it's going to download to this desktop app and it will start to install Photoshop. I already have it installed and then you can go ahead and launch it. So that's how everything works. And you'll start to use, let me just minimize these two screens, you'll start to just use this more and more as well. So I can open up Photoshop. We have more than the desktop apps. If I go back into my browser and go back, we actually have mobile apps. So the whole idea of having your assets with you everywhere and really being able to work from anywhere, here are mobile apps. So your creativity is building places. So you have Adobe Brush shape, all these different apps. And it's really just enabling you to capture colors and shapes from the environment to draw different things like that. And you can get into more illustration and layout work. I'm actually going to start with Adobe Comp CC because this just kind of shows you that you can create say on an iPad and then you can sync or send this content directly to InDesign Illustrator or Photoshop. So I'm just showing you this kind of complete workflow. So what I'm showing you guys right now as I open up, this is actually my iPad. So here I am on my iPad. So if you do happen to be in a meeting or this out and about and you want to get started on a layout, you can do that in this case with Adobe Comp CC. So I'm launching it now. You can see a number of starter apps or examples. So everything from a website design to a print ad to an app design or make something custom yourself. So launching Adobe Comp CC, I could start just drawing. Like I know I need a headline, right? So I'll just do like a box with a period after it and it will give me a headline. I want some body copy. Well let's just do a box with some lines in it, so lame usually. And boom, it makes me look awesome. I need a big picture over here for this ad, maybe a smaller one. You guys get the idea using Adobe Comp CC. So I can also adjust this content as you'd expect. Shrinking that up, maybe moving this down over here, adjusting the depth, changing things like this. You guys get the idea. You guys might be bored with the fact that I'm using gray boxes. They are more precise than what I can draw but I can go beyond these gray boxes and I can start using some of the assets in my libraries. So this is where I'm going to mention something called Creative Sync. That's just a fancy marketing term for saying, hey, you know what? Your assets are going to be everywhere. Because typically if I wanted an image here I'd have to email it to myself and then download it to my camera roll and add it that way. But quite frankly I have Adventure Project right here. I can select Adventure Project and you'll see all of these various assets available to me on my iPad. So I can select say for instance that image and drop it in and do what I want for even this other one. You guys hopefully get the idea. So there's that. Again this could be any image obviously that says Adobe Stock. Maybe I want to change it. I'll change it to something else and I'll even change some of this text to type in something, whatever. You guys get the idea. Typing in some text, changing the color. I don't need to get into too much detail here but what I want to show you is that not only do I have my assets but I also have character styles available to me as well. So that's actually changing kind of in the background if you will. You can see it change. But all my text or fonts or character styles that I've defined previously are available on my iPad. So I made a quick layout guys. Check this out. I'm just going to show you that I could send this to InDesign Photoshop or Illustrator so I can decide later on if you're like me and you're indecisive. Hey you could decide later, push it to the app of your choice. I could send this to say for instance Photoshop is where I'll send it and it's going to come through as expected. And this is all free by the way like these apps all you need is an Adobe ID. So I'm not like, again, I'm not really selling you anything here. I'm just helping you take advantage of what you already have. Now where do these images come from? Let's go back. Let's go into Photoshop. And we'll just wait. We'll wait for our layout to pop up by the way. So it will when we get back to our desktop. But take a look right in here. This is probably the biggest and most important thing. If you guys even forget my name, I don't care. I don't want you to forget about CC Libraries. And this is that adventure project. In fact, those assets that I was accessing earlier are all right in here. So there's that RAM. So I encourage you to create a new library, call it my project, creating it. I can take for instance this image and drag it in here. And this could be my main hero image. And I could even have a logo for instance. Let me find a logo really fast. You know, once it's taken, say for instance. Ooh, never mind. So like I just mentioned, this is my composition that was made in Adobe Comp actually popped up on my screen while I was working. So that's what I was just working on my iPad. So you can see it here is on my iPad, here it is on my desktop. They're not connected in any way. It's just a send to. So this is a separate file. But the cool thing is, you guessed it, all this text is editable and changeable and all that fun stuff so you can change and do what you want and make it as neat as you want whichever way you want like I'm trying to do right now. I'm trying to impress you with my design skills and it is not working. But in general I can make that change. And again just showing you you can work from mobile to desktop thanks to Creative Sync. So I'm going to go back to what I was working on which was this. In fact I was working on this my non-profit project. And I can have for instance a logo or any imagery like this hiker right down here. I can bring him in here. And this could be another image or it could be anything. But I start to build this library based on different elements. And then I can not only have this content available in Photoshop, this content in fact I'm going to get rid of this second one. It's also going to be available to me pretty much anywhere. Again back on mobile or even if I'm an illustrator so I'm going to jump into Illustrator. I'm going to open up that same panel. I'm going to go into my non-profit project that I was working on and I can start to work with this content. So dragging that out maybe dropping on this image whatever I want to do and I can start making the poster. So again one layout might be one thing and then I could have a poster say for instance in Illustrator. And the cool thing is this stuff is all tied together. So even if I grab say for instance my adventure project, I actually have like a cooler logo right in here. I can drop this on. So this might be the logo that I'm working on for this project and whether I'm using it in Illustrator or even if I'm using it back in Photoshop if I drop on that logo this content is connected. So let's scale this up. There it is. And so if this logo changes in fact I'll just double click on it. If I change it to something else it's going to update and change everywhere. So I save that, I close it, you can see it updates here. Let's jump back into Illustrator. Boom, it's updated there as well. So if you could imagine just having one set of assets that you update and it updates across every layout that's pretty powerful. Now what if you're working with other people? Well hey we got you covered there as well because check this out right over here. I can select Collaborate actually. And with this Collaborate function I can basically send this library to someone else and they will have access to it as well. So if I update the logo I have the confidence they can't come back to me and say oh I don't have the correct logo. No you do, check your library there buddy. So like again, Clint, I'm sorry I don't want to give away your email but you know Clint Funk is going to be helping out with moderating questions after the session which is awesome. I can send this directly to him and he will have access to that same library and we're always on the same page. So that's probably the biggest thing and the biggest thing that helps me out personally as a designer just like it just helps me out. No nonsense, really straightforward work you can do. So I've talked about Creative Sync. I did air quotes there by the way. But let's start to work on some of these assets. Actually even for this asset over here let's just take a look at it. Back in here I'm not crazy about this zip line right here. I want to remove it. And this is a common thing you'll probably want to do. And if you're new to Photoshop or even if you've been using it a while chances are you're using some of the content aware technology. So content aware will actually it's aware of the content. So your tools are aware of what's around it. So I could use something like the spot healing brush. And I don't even have to worry about it. I'm basically saying hey you know what I want to erase this particular image somebody just increase the size and you know just kind of zip right down here and just run over it if you will to remove it. And then watch what actually doesn't happen there. And some of you that use Photoshop a lot know what's missing there. What's missing there is the progress bar. I could jump into Photoshop CC 2014 and show you how slow that is because it takes a lot of processing time and actually we cut that time into 1 tenth of the time. So it's actually 10 times faster if I want to start removing content or moving content around. Okay so there's no progress bar guys. I don't like progress bars. You know what? There's no more progress bars nor is there a zip line. So of course this guy is getting a little concerned at this point. So let's just put him out of his misery. But that's the content aware technology sort of at work 10 times faster performance tip as well as you know if you're new to Photoshop you should be using that as well. Alright some other things that are you know again content aware technology some things you need to be aware of. You know I can do content aware move because I have this dramatic scene okay and oftentimes you might need to move these people to make room for other texts or whatever the case may be but I can select them. I'm using content aware move so it will not only move them but eliminate them from that earlier position and also gives me the transform tools because we've discovered that after you move something you often want to scale it and make sure it works well for wherever you're moving it to. So we've thought a step ahead there. We can make them smaller, make this scene look much more dramatic, and again that's like 10 times faster. Okay I can just I can even get rid of this all together. Content aware move is right in here if I do a fill. Content aware, boom, get rid of it. You guys get the idea. I can start to work on this image. Content aware move, content, scaling it down, dealing with other images. I'm going to do another thing. This is kind of again for pro users. I will just brighten up this image. So here's a photo and a lot of times you want to add focus and we know that shallow depth of field like making parts blurry is a really hot look and I want to make sure you guys know how to do this in general and show you some of the new tools and capabilities. So for this photo I actually want to focus right here on the center right here and kind of blur out because I might put text over here for a brochure or flyer or something. So I can go into filter and you have blur gallery effects available to you. And just to show you I can go ahead and do an iris blur because that's going to basically it's a circle blur. I don't know why they call it iris blur. But check this out. I can start to blur out everything around it and I can adjust that blur, the blur controls and start to sort of expand this out any way I want or rotate it, whatever I want. So that gives me that very nice look. We sometimes have the issue of it's almost too smooth because the blur obviously blurs those pixels together. And if you can zoom in here I'm trying to show you there's actually a lot of pixelation here. So it doesn't match. The blur doesn't match this pixelation. And again this is a sort of a pro tip. But if I go back in here to noise I can add a certain amount of grain to make sure the blur matches the photo. So even if you're using a low-res photo or a photo that was once dark like this one, we can make sure it matches up. And that's exactly what I'm doing at that point, hiding her identity and his identity to the degree it looks like. So take advantage of blur gallery. It's right here. I made this a smart object. So it's always going to be editable. So again just showing you some quick things. I'm kind of focusing on Photoshop and I'll jump into some other apps. But I definitely need to do one more thing in here guys, check this out. Back to this design that I was working on. So whether it's an app design, maybe it's a print ad and you need to make multiple versions, typically that means multiple PSDs. So you'll have this choice number one dot PSD, choice number two, choice 2A, 2B, final, final, final dot PSD, right? And there's like 15 PSD files. And rather than doing that, what you can do is you can create different versions or different screens in the case of this app design all within one PSD. And what I'm talking about here are art boards. So I'm going to just select these layers because this is just easiest for me to do. I'll make a design and then I'm like, oh, I would like to make this an art board because I'd like to have the different screens. So selecting all those layers, right click, and I can make art board from layers. So art board from layers, selecting that, we'll call this home screen. Boom, there it is. Zoom out. You can see that that says home. I can take this art board and I can duplicate it and we'll call this hike just like that. I can move it over. And now we have the home one and then the hike one. Notice how I have that logo on both. Well, I can drill down in here because I like how everything is nice and organized. I can remove that logo for instance. And I like that Photoshop, it's hard to screw things up because let's say for instance let me show you this cool tip by the way, oops, sorry. Maybe I wanted this logo on the second screen instead. I can take this logo and I can just drag it up into this art board and it knows and is aware of the previous position and just puts it there. It's like, okay, thank you. Same thing if I was to select this logo and drag it over here. It's aware of that second art board and it will put it in that other art board, the first one right here. So that's what you'll do is you can create multiple layouts just like I have here, multiple layouts, multiple art boards allowing you to create what you want. There's even this little art board tool behind the move tool. So you can come over here and say, hey, you know what, I'm going to make an entirely new one dragging that out. That's the equivalent of making a new page or almost like making a new PSD and then you can start to add some little elements to it, whatever you want to do. And I'm not going to show this because I don't have time and there's too much other stuff to show. And I doubt there's that many people doing, I don't know, maybe you are doing this on a, maybe you're making mobile designs or you want to check your website on a mobile device. But I'm going to launch Adobe Preview on my iPad but basically this just allows you to preview your designs on a mobile device. That's what Adobe Preview does. So basically you have to get the app, install it on your mobile app, or excuse me, on your iPhone and then you'll be able to preview this content directly on your mobile device. So that's that. I'm going to move on because there's more I need to talk about. I jumped into Illustrator briefly as well. There's Preview CC. I'm not going to worry about covering it. Check it out if you're interested. I mentioned this earlier, like just the speed that Illustrator CC 2015 goes at for instance. So I can just easily show you that this is a very complex Illustrator file. So panning around this and working on this layout has been difficult in the past. So Preview on CPU, if I do that it's going to be slower. But if I change this to GPU Preview which it's selected by default if you meet the minimum system requirements. But check this out. Now if I want to like, you know, whether it's pan around or zoom in, look at how smooth that is guys. The redraw is awesome because what are we doing? We're tapping into the GPU. So I can zoom in here. And not only can I zoom in here, I forget the, you weren't able to zoom in this far before. Look at how close I'm getting in on this text for instance. 64,000% is how much I'm zooming in on this file which was just nowhere near impossible before. Huge thing. Alright, let's move on. In Illustrator, step back a little bit. As a nonprofit you want to show maybe like sort of your outreach or chances are you have to show a graph or some sort of chart on donations or who knows what. You could hardly be a graphic designer these days and not have to show a graph of some sort. Okay, which we're kind of tedious but I want to show you this. In Illustrator CC 2015 release, the CC charts tool. Okay, so I need to make a chart. I'm going to select the charts tool. I'll drop it right in here. And there are my three generic icons just as a, you know, placeholder, right? Well I want to replace that because again I'm working on my cool project and I want to use this, you know, tree. Oh, where did this – let me show you this. So much to show guys. I can show you Adobe Stock by the way so you can purchase images which is where most of these came from. I can search Adobe Stock, find those images, and either use the placeholder image or the actual one. We'll wait for it to load up. But if I'm doing, you know, nature, search on nature assets, if I want to use this asset, I can save this directly to my adventure project. Okay, so I'm saving a preview of it to my adventure project. In fact, if we jump over there real fast, coming right over here, adventure project, we'll see it pop up right here, okay? And I can drop it in and start using it, okay? In this case I'm going to put it in the background right back there, okay? And if I ever want to license it, I can use it wherever I want and then I can turn around and license it when I'm ready as well, okay? Oh, my – hold on a sec. I don't know if you guys can still see my screen but I'm monitoring right now. It's still showing up for us, Paul. So it went away for just a second, but it's back in live. Okay, well, that's not live for me. But – And it doesn't help you navigate around. Yeah, it's kind of – one thing you do need if you want to be good at design is have a monitor. So just being able to see your work is helpful. But check this out. Let's go beyond because again, you do have to pay. And we can look at licensing that image. Let me show you something else. This is absolutely free. Going into assets, you know, the fonts – I can add fonts again for free as a Creative Cloud member if you will, technically not free. But you don't have to pay anymore. You can have a bazillion fonts in here. It doesn't matter. But I'm going to go into market. So check this out. If I did want to use a tree, I could do a search on a tree. And I can add that to my adventure project like I'm doing right now. Free assets in Creative Cloud Market that you could use. So you look here it is. Wait for it. Wait for it. That will pop up and I can start using it. I am broadcasting my screen as well and just trying to pull down assets. So that's why this might take a second, okay? Whether I'm using this tree or another tree because I got this one the same way as well. Let's just drag that on and see what that is. That is a complex tree. Look at that. So here is my tree guys. And rather than using these images, I could use this tree just by dragging it on to that chart. And there it is. Now this is following data. So I can edit this data actually on Creative Cloud. Now you could edit it or you can have somebody else edit it because we are kind of separating the data from the design. So that's what's happening now. I'm sorry this is kind of slow but it's going to open up in a new browser that particular data for that image, right? If I click it again it's going to open up two instances. How many of you have done that? I know I have plenty. And just a shameless self-plug like on my site I talk about this as well since I'm waiting for this to pop up in a browser. A lot of this content is actually on my site paultranny.com, videos on how to do this. All right, so here it is. We'll see the graphics show up and render out. I can change the data. So I want the first one to be maybe five times larger. Let's insert an additional row for instance. Let's just make this new row 0.2. So one is really large, one is really small, and then the last one is just 0.5. So I can go back to the chart data and you can see it right there. I can stretch those trees. It doesn't look good. You basically have that sort of control scale proportionally or even adjust in a free form way. So this mimics the data that is going on for this file. So that data of course could be entered in a browser, but if I go back to data check this out. I can get that data from somewhere else and load it in. So that's what I've done. There's my data. I can click Save. It's going to save that content and it's going to come back here and it's going to be reflected back on this asset as soon as it's updated as well. So that's charts in Illustrator. I'm going to move on. Let's clear out of that. Let's talk about two more things, technically three, but let's talk about a couple more things. I'm going to just launch Lightroom. Actually no, I'm going to launch Muse because actually no, I'm going to launch InDesign. Sorry guys. I'm trying to stay on this path of creating graphics and then going into more of a print publication that you're making. So in your print publication, you're going to create the layout as you'd expect. It's all pretty straightforward there. But I want to go beyond that because I want to – those assets were updated by the way. I want to be able to publish content online because a lot of InDesign users want to go online but we don't want to sacrifice the integrity of our design. So here is what I have created and I wanted this to pop up as well because any time you're using fonts in Creative Cloud, if somebody else has Creative Cloud, it's just going to say, oh no, here's your fonts, no problem. Here's your missing fonts since that person was using Creative Cloud fonts or Typekit fonts which are available through Creative Cloud, you could use them and that will update them. Okay, in this case for this design, I can move around content and I have full control for my print layout but the great thing is is I can go beyond print and if I want to publish this online, it's really this easy. In fact, it's right up here, publish online, selecting that publish online icon, publishing it out. This is going to be available as a link for the rest of the world to review. So if you're doing a print layout and you want your boss to approve it or you just want to show it off to all your friends, you have that capability in InDesign. This is huge and something that we just have not talked about enough because this is kind of groundbreaking and you'll see it here in a second. Oh, by the way, so it's uploading it. It's saying, hey, you know what? You can go ahead and close and just kind of continue working. But I did want to show you this is a little more tricky, guys. Check this out. There's these motion paths because I'm like, hey, you know what? Online isn't a print brochure. It's not static. I can add all that fun stuff to it. This happens to be a video. This green line means there's a motion path so it's going to be moving. So there's all this really compelling content and you can find it if I go down to interactive. A bunch of this interactive content has already been added. So I encourage you to check those out. But the short of it is if I go into publish online, we can still see it working away. But I have the interactive content added. So if you guys have any questions, let me know. It looks like I think Clinton and others are kind of answering questions, which is awesome. Jenny actually asked a question about how do you use libraries if you don't have Internet access. It actually will have those assets available to you, but it's not going to be able to update them. So they're going to be available offline. And anytime I use an asset from my library, what's happening here is it's putting a copy of it in here. It's connecting it. So it's connected here, but it's actually embedded. So if I open up this file again, it will just check to see if it's updated. So that's what happens. So if somebody is using – and honestly, if you want to break the connection of this particular snorkel from the asset, you can do that as well by selecting embed. So you can embed that content if you want to break that connection, for instance. All right, guys. All right, Jenny, cool. So here it is. I'm going to copy that link. I'm going to view this document. Again, just went from InDesign directly to a web browser, and here it is. So if you could imagine this being your project, being able to jump in and page through those different pages, we'll see content slide out, and we can see those videos. Pretty darn cool, huh? Are you not impressed with this? I'm so impressed with this. I think it's so awesome. I'm going to share it on Twitter right now. So by all means, project. And the hashtag is soupchat, and this is the InDesign, published online during our soupchat. There it is. So follow me on Twitter, follow that hashtag. I certainly hope that gives me a shortened URL, but nonetheless I just tweeted that out so you guys can see that live because I think that's really powerful. It's 12.45. I definitely need to show you just two more things really fast because this will save the day for you, for a lot of people. If you're not aware of Muse, well, let me introduce you to your new best friend. Hey, Jake. Jake Butters, thanks for the profile picture, everybody. Awesome. I don't know if you guys are aware of Muse, but if you ever wanted to create a website but didn't want to write any code or just in a rush, you can do that using Muse. So literally you jump in, you can add whatever content you want. It's all pretty straightforward. It's like what you see is what you get with this stuff. It's pretty easy. You have fonts available to you. So this might be my home page, for instance. I'm just creating this color box. I can have my about page about this project. Here's another color box. Please forgive me for just not putting any design in this. But I can make as many of these pages as I want. Contact, that's the whole idea. And I have this master page. Works as expected. If I open up the widgets library, let's drop on, say this horizontal menu, boom, there it is. Oh look, thank you very much. You already labeled that home about contact. And hey, guess what? It's all linked together. So if I preview this, it's actually publishing it. And now I have this all working. So I can go from the home page to the about page. This is the fastest and easiest way to make a website, giving you full creative control, just like I've done here with this site. Again, it's more about biking, but in general this kind of shows the power of what you can do. As I scroll down you have those scroll motion effects, which look really nice. You can see obviously well laid out. And you can get into products or features or anything like that because you can add slideshows and different things as well. Alright, so hopefully that – oh yeah, in contact form, such a pain, right? Contact form will make your brain hemorrhage I think. It hurts. But when it comes to – this actually won't show up in this preview mode because it needs to be uploaded. But if you wanted to add a contact form to your snazzy website as you can see here, it's literally just jumping in here. Let's make a simple contact form, your welcome world, right? It's that easy guys. I don't know. I like it because I know it's been so painful for me in the past and hopefully you appreciate Muse. And that's even my email address and I'm not scared to show it. Alright, so feel free. Last thing I promise – I promise. Let me just do this one more thing. In Lightroom, let's not forget about Lightroom being our heavy hitter for content. I saw Jake Butters was on the line, Lightroom Master. You think you might create a sucky photo like this one, just one fancy enhancement. I want it to be clear well I can remove the haze as I take the haze out of that image. So there's plenty of Adobe magic in there that I can impress you with. But all in all, let's not forget about Lightroom and the many features that I did not cover. My apologies to all the – everybody internally at Adobe who worked so hard on the stuff that I didn't even get to show. But I'm going to wrap up because – I want to give time for questions although we do have a Q&A after this as well. So if you guys have questions, I'm also reading the chat if that's alright. Looks like a lot of questions have been answered. Yeah, that's great Paul. We have been working hard on the backend to answer questions as they come in. So we really appreciate the help of all the backend hands working hard to get those answered. I would love to take a couple of minutes just to talk about the Adobe Creative Cloud offer that's available. And then we can dive into more questions so feel free to keep shooting them at us and we'll do our best to keep answering them. And then for additional ones again we have that soup chat immediately following this event in our forums where you can continue to ask questions. So Paul if you don't have anything else that you need to share on screen right now we can have you go ahead and stop sharing and we'll jump back to the slide so I can show a little bit about how to access it, what the offer looks like, and answer questions about the program specifically if people have any. So with TechSoup there are two programs right now. There is an Adobe Creative Cloud discount offer and a donation program. For those of you who may be accessed to the donation program in the past or maybe tried to access the donation program in the past and found that your organization was not eligible, well the rules have changed for the Adobe Creative Cloud offer and they've opened up. For those products on our site that are still listed as donations which I'll point these to. So for Acrobat if you want the installed Acrobat or Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements or Acrobat for Mac those are still part of our traditional donation program that has the same eligibility requirements that it had previously. So if you were eligible for those before you're still eligible for those to access those as installed desktop products. If you were not eligible for those the latest offer is the Adobe Creative Cloud Complete Plan One Year Individual Membership and it gets you access to discounted rates. The admin fee is $5 and it gets you access to a discounted rate of $239. I can't read my tiny print there for the first year which is I believe 60% off of the retail price. So a huge discount on that. And this is wide open. So if you are in TechSoups, if you are already registered with us and you found that you weren't eligible for these other programs in the past that likely no longer applies and you can access this Creative Cloud Plan. So this is a subscription plan that you pay directly to Adobe.com. That $5 admin fee is just validating that you are part of our system and that you have access to those discounted rates. And then you pay that directly to Adobe.com for the actual subscription. So it includes, this is just some of the programs that we highlighted here today. Paul took the time to show us a little bit of Photoshop. Briefly jumped into Lightroom right at the end there. Illustrator InDesign. And he also showed Muse which we didn't list out here which is the super easy to use web building application. But it includes all of these other things too plus more. And the one subscription rate gets you access to all of those. The plan is a one-year individual membership. We currently don't have team membership so if that's something that you are using or hoping to use we don't actually have that available at this time. So it's an individual membership access, 60% off of the current market rate. Second year, 40% off the current market rate thereafter. That $5 membership fee or $5 admin fee to TechSoup gets you access to that discount. And this applies to all budget sizes are eligible, all 501c3 organizations and public libraries are eligible which was not the case with our prior specific donation program for the installed desktop products. And then you can also request an unlimited number of individual memberships. So if you have a designer, you have a volunteer, you have a marketing person and they all need access to it, they can all get individual memberships. I have a slide just highlighting some myths here that are debunked and I don't want to spend too much time reading through it but I just wanted to highlight that even though these are cloud programs that sync and have all of those great features of collaboration, many of them run directly still on your computer. So you don't have to be connected to the Internet all the time. That came up as a question in chat. For some of the library things, to share libraries you do still have to be online to actually get those libraries to sync but you don't actually have to do that to just use these programs. So if you're designing something and you don't want to be connected to the Internet, you're still running it directly on your computer and you're just syncing with the cloud to collaborate, share, get those libraries connected. You only need to be online to install your software. And then you do need to check in regularly and go online. I believe it's once every 30 days. If you're a monthly subscriber it's once every 90 days if you do an annual subscription. If I'm incorrect on that somebody chat out in the window but I believe that's correct. You continue to have access to the files that you save on your computer. So it's not like you put them in the cloud and then if you're disconnected from the Internet that you have no access, you can have them still saved to your workstation and installed and accessible locally. And your creative files will stay on your computer unless you choose to sync them to the creative cloud. So you can choose to sync or not sync based on your privacy. If you have documents that you create that have regulations that you need to privacy things that need to be followed or compliance things, you can choose to keep them not synced with the cloud or you can choose to sync them if it's convenient for you to be able to get those files off to a printer for your collateral documents, your invitations, your postcards, your newsletter. If you have a mailer that you send out you can choose to sync them to make it available to the folks that may need it or you can choose to keep them on your own desktop private. So that's just a little bit about that. I see lots of other questions coming in the chat and so I'll start to grab those in a second and I see folks on the back end already trying to respond. But I wanted to share some additional resources. These will be in the slide deck that you'll get access to in the follow-up email. So I've linked to Paul's YouTube channel which has fantastic videos. Lots of little short videos showing very specific tips and tricks and cool things you can do. It's a treasure trove. And I loved watching a lot of them before prepping for this webinar. Paul's website and again Paul, following Paul for the latest Adobe news on his Twitter. And then we have links to tutorials for the specific programs that we covered a little bit today. We tried to highlight the ones that we know meet the demands of the majority of the use cases that nonprofits come to us with. They come saying they need help designing websites, brochures, annual reports, newsletters. Those are the primary things that we are told that you're using. So we wanted to highlight the tools that would most apply to those. But we know that some of you are also creating amazing video content or audio content and podcasts. And so all of those other tools are available too. And there's a lot of resources. Adobe TV has its own channel with tons of resources and videos and clips to help you learn how to use those. And then I also wanted to just quickly highlight the Creative Cloud membership link, the donation program. So for those organizations that qualify for the actual donated desktop installed products, the three that we still have on our site, a link to those, and some of the resources we've created that just explain more about the program and how to use it. So with that, I'm going to go ahead and keep this screen up and that little bit we link at the bottom is where you can continue to ask questions in that soup chat that starts in just a few minutes here. But while we do that, I'm going to go ahead and ask a couple of questions. So Donna asks, and I think this is a question that a lot of people feel when they see just the huge amount of stuff available in Adobe Creative Cloud. Donna asks, my main concern and excitement is the overwhelming amount of features. How do you learn about them? How do you learn to use them all? Paul, what do you think is the best place for somebody to start with learning about Adobe Creative Cloud? Paul Yeah, so I think what typically people do is they go on YouTube, and I will as well. Not that I'm suggesting it, but I use my videos there. So please go there. There is something called Creative Cloud Learn, which is hard to get to, but any time you launch an Adobe app, there's links to learn new things. So that's a great area. And the reason that's good is because we pay people to make that content. So the quality is higher. And let's not forget some of the paid services like lynda.com. There are free videos there and just really high quality. And that's where I typically go. Donna That's great. I'm going to answer another question that you might have queued up or something I wanted to clarify. But when you publish online, that publishes obviously to like Adobe Hosted Service. That's where it lives. There's no current way to sort of extract that content and put it on your own website. It's just a link. So you don't pay for hosting for that. Same thing with news. If I publish a site out there, I'm going to get an Adobe URL, but you could customize that. So with Creative Cloud, you get up to five hosted sites where you can customize the URL. So I just wanted to point out those two things. Donna That's great and helpful. And we did have people asking where it lives. And Adobe is doing a lot I think to ensure that stuff in the cloud is managed well and secure. And all of these big companies have great privacy policies and are working hard to make sure that anything that you put in the cloud and that's hosted there is secure. So just keep that in mind. And again, for those of you that may have documents that you'd create or resources that you'd create that have privacy regulations about where it can live and whether it can be in the cloud or has to be locally stored, you have that option that you can keep them locally stored. We are just about out of time. So I'm going to go ahead and move us forward quickly into just asking you, our participants, to let us know one thing that you learned today that you're either going to try to implement or maybe one action you're going to take. Maybe it's going on to Adobe.com and finally activating the account that you requested previously, or maybe it's doing one of the skills, getting rid of the tightrope in your own images for those of you who have been trying to figure out how to do that. Let us know what you've learned because that helps us understand where the value comes from and what we can spend more time doing in our webinars coming up. And we'd also like you to share any of this information with your colleagues and friends who may benefit. Thanks so much to Paul for taking the time today and for everybody on the back end who's been helping plow through questions. I'd like to invite you to join us for our upcoming webinars and events. As mentioned, we have a live soup chat on Adobe Creative Cloud taking place in our forums and I'll just show that little bit we link once again. And we'll chat it out in the window so you can get there directly if you have questions we didn't have time to get to. Coming up next week we'll be talking about navigating payment processing for nonprofits. So if you are looking for tools to help you with credit card payments and taking donations, whether it be online or in person at events, join us for that because we'll be talking about the different options out there. Following that we'll be talking about how to crowdfund for libraries. So if you're joining us today from a library, this webinar is for you. And then we'll talk about Microsoft's OneNote and how to use that as a great collaboration, brainstorming, and note-taking tool that many of you already have on your desktop. And then in August we'll be talking about accomplishing more with social media. We hope you'll join us for more of those events. You can find all of them and our archives on our website at techsoup.org slash events dash webinars. You can join us and connect with us at TechSoup Global, techsoup.org, on our Facebook, and on our Twitter. Thank you so much everyone. Thank you Paul for your help today in sharing a little highlight of all the great things that we can do with Adobe Creative Cloud. We hope you'll come back to learn more as we will certainly have more on this topic and the specific programs in the Creative Cloud coming down the pike. Thank you so much too. Sun, Karina, Clint, Terry, who am I missing? Allie, who all helped on the back end in answering questions. And thank you to you, our audience, for joining us today. Lastly, I'd like to thank ReadyTalk who provides the use of this platform for us to present these webinars on a regular basis. When you close out please take a moment to complete the post-event survey that pops up so we can continue to improve our webinar programming. Thank you all so much and have a terrific day. Bye-bye.
