    Stream app can be used to view, search and share images to other consumers. Getty provides imagery that features sports and relevant topics which can be seen on most newspapers, and can now also be watched from the streams provided by Getty.

    The app is free to download from the iTunes App Store. Read this post to know more about the Stream app.

    Adobe recently announced a series of updates to its Creative Cloud software products in an attempt to better unite the desktop and mobile experience of users.

    Among the series of updates is a new profile setting that lets Creative Cloud users upload brushes, styles, fonts, and more so that they can access them on any device. Windows 8 and Microsoft Surface touch screen support has also been updated as well as 3D printing in Photoshop. Adobe has also introduced a Creative Cloud market which will feature extra brushes, vectors, icons and design elements in a freely accessible library.

    Also, a major update to Adobe’s Behance online portfolio will add a Talent Search feature which has a public job board and a recommendation engine for employers to easily search for creative editors and artists to hire.

    For a full list of Creative Cloud updates, read this article from PDNPulse.

    iOS8 Editing

    Along with the popularity of on the go editing apps comes the extensive upgrade to the photo-editing app shipped with iOS8.

    The editing app presents the user with 4 icons when opened. The first one an auto-enhancement, a crop tool for the second icon and the third some Instagram type filters. The bottom icon will reveal a second set of icons; Light, Color and B&W. These icons have sliders that can be adjusted up and down for the desired effect.

    Beneath each slider is a menu type icon which reveals another set of controls when tapped. These controls has similar features in editing software like the Adobe Lightroom or Adobe Camera Raw so users familiar to those software will not have trouble using it to their advantage.

    This is a great addition to iOS for quick edits, but for those looking for luminance values and Black and White conversions, there are still better apps out there.

    Take a look at the video below for a detailed editing workflow in iOS8.
