After teas­ing Carousel a few weeks ago, Adobe seems to have more than just a photo library sync­ing plat­form up on its sleeves, dubbed the Adobe® Creative Cloud, is a membership-based cre­ative tools built upon Carousel’s base:

The ini­tial intro­duc­tion of Adobe Creative Cloud is cen­tered around an inno­v­a­tive col­lec­tion of Adobe Touch Apps that re-imagine cre­ative soft­ware for the mobile age and enable tablet devices to be an inte­gral part of the cre­ative process. Adobe Creative Cloud will become the hub for view­ing, shar­ing and sync­ing of files cre­ated by Adobe Touch Apps and Adobe Creative Suite, and includes 20GB of cloud stor­age. It will quickly develop into a ser­vice that will deliver access to Adobe’s flag­ship cre­ative appli­ca­tions and ser­vices and become an essen­tial resource for any­one inter­ested in creativity

No pric­ing scheme it being intro­duced now, but it is clear that Adobe is reimag­in­ing its future — in a big and bold way.

Remember the say­ing about ‘skat­ing to where the puck is going’ (Wayne Gretzky)? This is Adobe lay­ing its bricks of the past, for a future in the web of clouds.
