How do I create, edit, or delete a Look?
Adobe Capture CC captures the color and light in a scene or image and uses it to create a Look. You can capture inspiring Looks live from the camera or from an existing image in your camera roll or Creative Cloud account.
- First, you can select a color bubble to shift the midtones toward that color.
- If desired, you can move the intensity slider right or left to increase or decrease the impact of the resulting Look.
To learn more about looks, see this tutorial.
How do I manage my Capture assets?
Your assets are saved automatically in your Creative Cloud Libraries. You can choose an existing library to save individual assets to, or create a new library in the My Library menu.
You can manage your libraries, including sharing a library with another person, by logging in to your Creative Cloud account on a browser and selecting My Assets > Libraries.
How do I find assets created with Adobe Color CC, Shape CC, Brush CC, and Hue CC in Capture CC?
All of the assets that you created using these apps and saved to your Creative Cloud Libraries can be accessed within Capture.. When you open Capture and tap Colors, Brushes, Shapes, or Looks, the corresponding assets stored in your library are displayed on the screen. You can tap the required assets to begin editing them in Capture.
By default, Capture displays assets stored in My Library. If you want to change the library, tap My Library and then tap the required library.
How do I use assets created with Capture in other apps?
Now that you’ve built your arsenal of color themes, vector-based shapes, custom brushes, and Looks, you can start using them in final artwork in a desktop app or explore concepts further in other mobile apps. All you need to do is make sure you save your assets to a Creative Cloud library in Capture. From other supported apps, simply access your Creative Cloud Libraries, pick the one you saved your asset in, and select your asset.
For the list of Adobe apps that support Capture assets, see Support for Capture assets in other Adobe apps.
