    Petition to bring back Adobe CS Review features

    jeremy_jones Community Member

      My team is currently contemplating upgrading the office to Adobe Creative Cloud for Teams, and I'm the trigger man. It's up to me to convince my Creative Director and CFO that going this route would be a good idea. Unfortunately the more I read about the missing features, the more hesitant I am to champion what is my favorite collection  of software.

       

      I don't understand why Adobe got rid of Adobe CS Review. Remember that? It was almost perfect. You could upload your content straight from Premiere (or Iillustrator,Photoshop,Indesign) onto a review site, where your client could make comments and markup at the frame. Those comments would then update into Premiere and show up on the timeline as markers.

       

      What happened to that?  I remember when they got rid  of it they cited that they did so because of a lack of user interest. Yet Adobe turns around and comes out with Adobe CC!? Whose whole point is collaboration, some of which happens within a browser. Kinda like Adobe CS Review, but now without all the useful features like markup and comments that update within the app of origin.

       

      They've already had such a feature before (since CS4), and it worked really well.

       

      I want to start a petition to bring back these features. Being able to comment on a file is not enough and is hardly what anyone would call "collaboration" these days.

       

      We all realize that the Adobe Team is busy putting out fires started when it started the CC Subscription model. Trust us. We get it.You guys have a lot to deal with. But enough is enough.

       

      Being able to sync files to a cloud is nothing new.

       

      Being able to comment on what is essentially a browser preview of said file is nothing new.

       

      Being able to share that file with someone else is definitely nothing new.

       

      Its costs me $5 per month to do so with Google Drive, and it works much better than what Adobe Cloud offers.

       

      New features like "Hover Scrub" and "Live Corners" are definitely cool, and welcomed. But how about we focus on fixing the things that are broken. The things you promised your user base.Ya know...those things we decided to pay you for?

       

      Now I'm not going to just rant about how Adobe is ruining my life, or how ungrateful I am that all those talented engineers, and developers decided to make awesome apps for me to purchase. I want to also thank you for being so awesome. The Adobe Team has done so much to make the lives of creatives like me that much easier. Your developers and engineers are truly the unsung heroes of the creative world.

       

      With that said, please take heed to this petiton to bring back the features of Adobe CS Review.
