Today Adobe releasedÂ a revolutionary new app called Capture CC, which encompasses four of Adobe’s apps to make one mammoth app that can achieve it all. You’ll find the capabilities from Adobe Brush, Adobe Shape, Adobe Color and Adobe Hue all rolled into one app, meaning you can capture and create brushes, shapes or colour palettes within the one Capture CC app.

Capture CC is available on Android, iPhone and iPad from today, and a future update will also add Patterns into the mix, letting you capture a tiled pattern straight from your device’s camera.

Photoshop fix and Capture CC are two all-new apps that add to the already broad line-up of mobile software from Adobe, and many of its other existing apps were updated today too, bringing more desktop power to Photoshop Mix, Photoshop Sketch, Lightroom, Premiere Clip, Illustrator Draw and Comp CC.

With Brush, you basically take a picture with your phone, set parameters like alpha and crop and it syncs to Photoshop, Sketch or Illustrator. You can also use it in Flash!

There’s also another section of the app called Colors whereby youÂ take a picture of the room and create swatches based on those major colors.

A third section of the app called Looks allows you to import themes into Premiere for use there but I haven’t figured out what you do with it exactly.It’s pretty sweet!

Finally a fourth section of the app called Shapes allows you to take photos and turn them into vectorized shapes. Haven’t really figured out the usefulness of that one yet but it’s there for so you tell me what you’d use it for!
