I was a little bit apprehensive about trying to figure out how this whole Creative Cloud thing worked since I do NOT like trying new technologies – weird huh? I am happy with my familiar way of doing things – even if I end up loving the technology later! These is a little bit of a learning curve, but I was able to figure out how to Import my photos and play around with them before watching any tutorials. I wish I had learned how to use these programs long ago! When we found out we were expecting our first child 9 years ago we made the decision to invest in a good camera and learn a little bit of photo shooting as opposed to spending the money for professional family photos each year. I prefer basic natural edits (mostly lighting perhaps with a pop of color) and the Creative Cloud is letting me totally revel in micromanaging how my pictures look. The Creative Cloud plan gives me the control I desire in editing my photos though which is really important to me because these are my memories and the memories my family has made. I shoot in manual only most of the time but am far far from a pro photographer. I like to think I know what I’m doing around my DSLR even though truly I’m in between novice and advanced. The photo above I need to re-do because I learned about the “magic tool” that will immediately take away that little shadow at the bottom of the photo! That perhaps may be my favorite feature of all! Automatic Presets RIGHT off the bat!Īlthough the Creative Cloud Photography Plan is geared towards advanced active photographers this is definitely the plan for me. I have thousands of photos so this is a great way to store it in the cloud instead of clogging a zillion edits on my laptop! I am definitely no PRO with photography editing so this review is strictly from an Adobe beginner’s view that dabbles in photography. It’s a 1 year subscription that lets you get the best of all worlds. I have always heard of Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom but the Adobe Creative Cloud Photography Plan was new to me – it includes BOTH which is really awesome! And not only that it allows you access to your images on any device (thus the cloud) which will come in handy when we’re visiting family and traveling. I felt limited by the generic computer program and thanks to Best Buy I have decided it was time to take the leap and try out the Adobe Creative Cloud Photography Plan. I have always used the basic editing program on whatever computer I am using but after seeing a few of my friends on Facebook use Lightroom I was increasingly interested in trying it out. And now as a blogger on this site, travel blogger, and mom of 3 I have a strong desire to take that amateur photography hobby one step further – to learn how to decently edit my photos. Over the past 6 or so years I have picked up tidbits of knowledge here and there and even went through a good core beginner skills course. Although I am totally an amateur I hope someday to expand my photography skills. I see the world in different angles and enjoy portraying that in my photography.
