Annual Adobe MAX Has Much to Offer

Register Adobe Max for free. There is much value for folks of any skill level wanting to know about what the Adobe CC apps like Photoshop and Illustrator are about.

As Adobe launches its second virtual MAX event Oct 26 – 28 in the middle of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic I begin to realize that old fashioned analog conventions of the past may never be the same. I miss being in a crowd of 12,000 pumped up Adobe Max fans cheering live announcements of new Adobe CC app features.  That’s hard to replicate online. Still, that hasn’t stopped Adobe MAX 2021 from announcing some pretty cool stuff:
