DLS Tutorials

Adobe Creative Cloud

All DLS computers have Adobe Creative Cloud installed to use in your class or personal projects. 


First, decide which Adobe product is best for your project:

  • Adobe Photoshop: basic image creation and manipulation
  • Adobe Illustrator: create vector graphics and images
  • Adobe Premiere Pro: video editing
  • Adobe Audition: audio editing
  • Adobe InDesign: graphic design, create files that contain text and images, booklets and documents with multiple pages

Once you are logged into Creative Cloud, check out the tutorials on this subpage.
