The licensed media can be pooled and made available throughout the organization. The Pro Edition for enterprise includes additional resources for enhanced user management, security (including indemnification), and support. The price for Creative Cloud for Teams is $79.99/month per user for the first year of the All App version ($89.99 after that) and $33.99/month, going up to $39.99/month in the second year, for the Single App plan.

Geometry is one thing, the real world is another, so Fresco has an improved Shapes panel design that integrates much better with Capture. For those you draw by hand, Fresco has simplified how it interprets your input, reducing the number of anchor points to speed up editing.
