And time is where Adobe Creative Cloud 2020 made some of its most significant gains. Even though we've come to expect regular performance boosts, some of the suite, particularly After Effects, Lightroom and InDesign were substantially hot-rodded by Adobe's development teams. Sensei, Adobe's blanket term for AI, continues to propagate through all the programs, taking up more and more of the grunt work and giving your imagination more time to do its thing. And, in terms of time, one of the most important things is being able to work where and when the inspiration hits, which may not necessarily be when you're at your desk. Bringing more tools to mobile devices and improving their links to the cloud and desk top is Adobe's way of making that happen. A Window of Opportunity Originally a compact and, to be quite honest, rather meager, accessory that was more of a complex menu than an application, the Creative Cloud Desk top App has grown significantly to become a gateway to a repository of shared knowledge and resources (and finally gaining the status of being an actual desk top window) Standing in front of a two-story high image of Bob Ross, art teacher to the world, Belsky revealed a new Bēhance capability available through the CC Desk top that will let an artist share their screens as they work on a project, something like Twitch for creatives. And the audience erupted in applause when he noted that the app will let us use our Adobe libraries in third-party applications like PowerPoint. Adobe Creative Evangelist Terry White showed how Sensei will make object selection for compositing in Photoshop a whole lot faster. Even a rough, rectangular box, will give the new tool all it needs to know and Sensei is able to figure out what it is you want to select and then jump in and do its thing. ( There still may be some tweaking and pixel-plucking needed, but this will get you surprisingly close in most cases.) Previewed a year earlier, Photoshop for the iPad arrived in its full glory. In terms of what it can to it is, well, very much like Photoshop. However, the inter face has been thought fully adapted for touch and tap, rather than drag and click. As we learned later in the keynote, the inter face was developed with Adobe's own XD, now the design
