Aviary’s Photo Editor app gets its first update under Adobe — and it’s worth up to $200


Aviary’s Photo Editor app gets its first update under Adobe — and it’s worth up to $200

When Aviary, the all-purpose mobile photo editor teamed up with Adobe, it seemed only a matter of time before the words Creative Cloud became part of its vocabulary. And now, the first Aviary update under Adobe — released for both iOS and Android — lets users sync with Creative Cloud to consolidate, use and preserve their image editing tools across devices and platforms.

While a great percentage of users just downloaded the free version of the app without bothering with purchase extras, that strategy may not serve you well right now. Until the end of November, Aviary is offering some $200 worth of stickers, effects and more free of charge when you sign into Aviary via an Adobe ID.

You do not have to be a dues-paying member of Creative Cloud to have an Adobe ID or to trick up your Aviary app with tons of interesting new stuff. There is a free level of the Creative Cloud service that you can use for this and other purposes.
