TL;DR

Adobe offers more than 20 apps across design, video, 3D, photography, and web. This guide breaks down the key tools, what they do, and how to pick the right ones for your workflow.

Short Paragraphs

Adobe’s Creative Cloud covers everything from illustration to motion graphics, 3D texturing to social‑media posts.
Whether you're a photographer, web designer, or video editor, there’s a specialist tool for your niche—though figuring out which apps you really need can be overwhelming.
The article categorises the software into major groups: digital art & design; video & animation; 3D & AI; photography; and web/UX & collaboration. It then highlights 13 of the most important apps, explaining platforms, use‑cases, and pros vs cons.

Highlights

  • Everything under one roof: From raster editing in Adobe Photoshop to vector work in Adobe Illustrator; layout in Adobe InDesign; and motion in Adobe After Effects.

  • Specialist vs generalist tools: The article outlines when to pick a specialised app (e.g., Illustrator for vector work) vs a broad‑use app (Photoshop).

  • Costs & hidden factors: Though many apps are included in Creative Cloud, additional costs like extra cloud storage or separate subscriptions for 3D suites (e.g., the Substance 3D Collection) can add up.

Tool Spotlight

Tool of the Day: Vivi

Vivi is an AI-powered design assistant that helps you write and visually enhance UX copy, generate interface text, and keep product language on-brand — all in Figma.

Scenario

When you're designing screens in Figma and stuck writing placeholder copy, or when you need your product content to feel more consistent, concise, and user-friendly — fast.

Value

  • Generates clear, user-centered UX copy directly inside Figma

  • Maintains brand voice and tone consistency across multiple screens

  • Saves time switching between writing, designing, and editing tools

How it works

Select any text layer or component in Figma, then ask Vivi to rewrite, simplify, or generate new copy (e.g., button labels, tooltips, empty states). It uses contextual AI to understand the UI and offer suggestions that fit your product’s tone. You can tweak the voice, length, and clarity — all within your design file.

Prompt of the Day

Today's Style: Neo-Classical Realism

Example:

/imagine prompt: A soulful portrait of a brilliant young female cryptanalyst from the 1940s, in the style of Neo-Classical Realism, emulating a timeless oil painting. The lighting is soft and dramatic, reminiscent of Rembrandt, casting gentle shadows that define her features. Her expression is intense and introspective. Hyperrealistic detail on a dark, textured canvas background with muted viridian and umber tones
