Although Adobe Creative Suite 6 shipped earlier this week, many were waiting on Creative Cloud as a way of upgrading to Creative Suite 6 for a low monthly cost with access to just about “everything!” That day has arrived as Creative Cloud is now available. Here’s a nice one page chart of the costs and what you get: 
Even if you don’t plan to go with a paid membership to Creative Cloud, you can still sign in and access your free Creative Cloud services here.
Adobe Lightroom 4 Now Available in the Mac App Store
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 is now available in the Mac App Store! This is good news for those of you who haven’t bought Lightroom yet. As with most things there are some pluses and minuses:
- This is a single platform license for Mac only. (The boxed version and the ESD offering on Adobe.com can be installed on Mac or Windows)
- Updates will take place through the Mac App Store, not via Adobe.com for this version of Lightroom. When we update Lightroom for new camera support(about 4 times per year), the Mac App Store version may be released at a different time than the update on Adobe.com
- There is no upgrade pricing available on the Mac App Store for Lightroom customers who own Lightroom 1, 2 or 3.
- Because there is no upgrade pricing or upgrade validation currently available on the Mac App Store, there is no guarantee that upgrade pricing will be available to Mac App Store Lightroom 4 customers when Lightroom 5 and future versions of Lightroom are released.
- Lightroom 4 is available on the Mac App Store in North America only
However, like all Mac App Store purchases you can install this version of Lightroom on as many Macs as you own.
Adobe CS6 Tour: Copenhagen – Thank You
We’re on tour here in Europe and I wanted to take a quick break to thank Copenhagen for coming out to our event yesterday! We had a great crowd of over 750 people and they were quite pumped up about Adobe Creative Suite 6 and Creative Cloud. My colleague Jason Levin put together this video (yes using Premiere Pro CS6, Audition CS6, SpeedGrade CS6 and After Effects CS6 🙂 <-yeah he’s crazy that way):
Today we’re in Helsinki Finland and once again showing CS6 & Creative Cloud to a packed house! Looking forward to Stockholm tomorrow!

Best App Site Gets a Make Over
Along with reviewing technology and gadgets, I also review mobile apps. When the App Store came out a few years ago I started doing an “App of the Week” here on my blog. However, I realized that one iOS App per week just wouldn’t cut it seeing how there there hundreds if not thousands of Apps being released every week. So I decided to setup a dedicated site Best App Site so that App reviews could happen more regularly and also not tie up space here for reviews that some may have no interest in. One of Best App Site’s co-authors and web designer Erik Bernskiold just overhauled the site with a new look and feel. Aside from making the site more appealing to the eye, Erik also did quite a bit a work on the backend to make it easier for us to post reviews and to make it easier for visitors to find the reviews they want. The New Best App Site also is even more mobile friendly with a fluid design that quickly adapts to tablets and smartphones.
A big thanks to Erik and I hope that all of you enjoy the new site as much as I do! Head over to bestappsite.com and check it out.
Wow (aka ¡¡moM) Gracias Ciudad de México
Although I’m on the go again, I had to take a moment to thank the great people of México City for coming out to our Adobe CS6 and Creative Cloud launch event!
On behalf of Greg Rewis, Paul Trani and myself, you made us feel very welcomed and we had a great time showing off Adobe CS6 and Creative Cloud. México City came out in full force and filled the venue. Although the event was several hours in length, practically everyone stayed till the end!
It was also a nice surprise to see Adobe Mexico go all out and get into the theme of CS6 with their very own CS6 Models
No matter how much time we have to present there are always things that we don’t get a chance to show. Therefore be sure to check out my Adobe Creative Suite Video Podcast and Adobe TV.
Imagine my surprise when someone handed me this sketch by @rayacosta! I was both flattered and honored. Thanks Ray!
This was a great start to the CS6 Tour, Thanks both São Paulo and México City! Home for a couple of days and then off to Europe, Argentina, Chile and South Africa! Stay tuned to the events section on the sidebar of my blog for details.
Thank You Sau Paulo Brazil!

Wow! What an amazing event we had here in Brazil last night. I wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of you who came out to our event. I had a blast showing Adobe Creative Suite 6 and Creative Cloud.
Both Greg Rewis and I always have a great time presenting to the Brazil audiences.
A packed house!
It’s always good to see my young friend Breno!
The crowd was really excited to see Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Muse and our new Web technologies. I had fun showing off the many of he new features including a live PS Touch demo with Creative Cloud.
It’s bright and early as we head to the airport and on to Mexico City!
