We Love Tablets

We've had some seat time with a few of these devices, and if you're only using one to surf the Web or read books, you would be surprised at how much more they will do. For example: the CloudOn app brings Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint to your iPad or Android tablet. Of course you can format text, change fonts and catch that typo, but imagine being able to track changes while editing Word documents, use pivot tables and insert formulas in Excel and present your PowerPoint slides complete with transitions. 

Another nifty little feature is the ability to view PDFs (including 3d PDFs) and fill out PDF forms on your workspace! You also have a universal viewer that lets you view virtually any file – from raw Photoshop images to everyday image files like PNG, JPEG and GIF.

Creative Suite 6 is Out!

Adobe just released their new Creative Suite. It offers an option to rent the suite rather than pay full price for the software, which Adobe calls Creative Cloud. Another advantage of Creative Cloud is the ability to store and share files across devices, including tablets. It improves upon familiar tools from previous versions such as Content Aware Fill, Patch and Move, Camera Raw 7.0, Adaptive Wide Angle, and enhanced ability to edit video in Photoshop. Creative People is ready to show you how to use this powerful suite of software.
