Adobe Assets

Add assets created in Adobe Illustrator CC™, Adobe Photoshop CC™, Adobe InDesign CC™, Adobe Premiere Pro CC™, Adobe After Effects CC™, Adobe Dreamweaver CC™, Adobe Muse CC™, Adobe Fuse CC™, or Adobe Animate CC™. You can also add assets created in Adobe™ mobile apps or downloaded from Adobe Stock™ or Adobe Creative Cloud Market™. To add assets to an Adobe Creative Cloud Library™ in your desktop app, go to Window > Libraries or Window > Adobe Creative Cloud Libraries™ to open the Libraries panel. To apply layer styles, colors, and text styles, select an object in your project and click the thumbnail of the desired library asset. You can use the Libraries menu to create a new library and name it, or simply add assets to the default library, named My Library. Click plus (+) in the Libraries panel to add graphics, text styles, colors, and effects from your document. You can also add graphic assets such as shapes and photos by dragging them directly from your project into the Libraries panel. Asset thumbnails are organized by category, so they’re easy to locate. Now that the asset is saved to a library, it’s easy to drag and drop it to add it to other projects.

Adobe Stock

You can access Adobe Stock™ directly from Adobe™ desktop applications. In the Libraries panel, type a term in the search field and filter by asset type. If you don’t find anything you like, click See more results on the web to go to the Adobe Stock™ website. When you find the right asset, drag it directly from the search results field to your document. This saves a copy of the watermarked asset to your current library. You can also download the watermarked version of the asset directly to your Libraries for use in any Adobe™ desktop application. To get rid of the watermark, mouse over the asset thumbnail in your library and click the License and Save to button. Assets are automatically converted to the right formats for use in your desktop or mobile apps. Once assets are saved to Adobe Creative Cloud Libraries™, you can reuse them in your designs—in the same file, another project, or another app—without worrying that you’ll grab the wrong versions. Pixel—perfect artwork creation—draw paths and shapes that seamlessly align to the pixel grid. Align existing artwork with a single click or by using simple transformations.

Collaboration

To add a graphic asset to your project, drag it directly from the library onto your Illustrator artboard, Adobe Photoshop™ canvas, Adobe InDesign™ layout, Adobe Premiere Pro™ or Adobe Animate™ timeline, or web page layout in Adobe Dreamweaver™ or Adobe Muse™. When an original asset is modified, all project files using the linked asset will be updated to the latest version. Assets dragged from the Libraries panel are linked assets by default. To add an unlinked asset from a library, press Alt (Microsoft Windows™) or Option (Mac OS™) while dragging it from the Libraries panel. You can then edit the asset independently from the original in your Library. Open the Options menu in the Libraries panel and choose Collaborate. In the browser window that opens, enter email addresses separated by a comma and click Invite. Your collaborators will receive an email invitation to use the private library. Select can edit to let collaborators view, edit, add, and delete assets from a library, as well as invite other collaborators. Spend less time searching and more time designing with more than 60 million high—quality images, graphics, videos, 3D objects and the Adobe Premium™ collection inside your apps.
