What is Adobe Capture?

 

Imagine an app that allows you to turn anything you see into an asset.

Ever wonder how you can turn landscapes, street art, leaves, tiles, and even your dog into a brush, a pattern, or even a 3D object?

Adobe Capture does just that. The app transforms images into customizable creative assets (vector graphics, brushes, patterns, color themes, and unique looks for use in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, After Effects, and more with just a few taps.

It harnesses the power of Adobe Color to create color themes in a simple, fun and intuitive way, right on your phone.

Looks: quickly edit the colors of your photos

With Adobe Capture, you can save the colors from any environment into a ‘look’.

You can use these looks to quickly edit any photo to match the colors of that environment, creating a custom-made preset.

In this example I used the colors from a landscape to edit a group photo.

But you can add 20 GB of storage to Creative Cloud for a monthly fee of $1.99.

If you already have a Creative Cloud subscription, then Adobe Capture is fully available for you. All you need to do is to download and sign in.

Adobe Capture vs Illustrator – What are the key differences?

Adobe Capture and Illustrator may be complementary but fit different purposes and have different functionalities and platforms.

While Illustrator is a desktop-based software, it provides users with advanced features and extensive control over design and illustration projects.

Adobe Capture, on the other hand, is a mobile-based software, allowing users to turn photos into creative assets, such as brushes, patterns, color pallets, and 3D models.

You may use assets you create with Adobe Capture on Illustrator, considering your assets will automatically sync between your software through your Creative Cloud.

These two software may complement each other but ultimately serve different purposes.

Adobe Capture is a mobile asset creation software and Illustrator is a full design workstation.

Final Thoughts

Adobe Capture is the perfect tool for people who wish to create using the world around them as an inspiration with unique personalized assets.

What before would take a more complicated workflow into Photoshop and Illustrator is now just a couple of clicks on your phone away. Personalizing your photos have never been easier.

This software really comes in handy for creators wishing to step up their online content and brand presence on their content.

While most creators are stuck with options available on social media apps to doodle and create captions on their content,

Adobe Capture gives you complete control over all of these features, making sure all items of your creation are tailor-made to your vision and creative brand.
