Adobe Capture is an Android and iOS application for transforming images into creative assets, color palettes, vectors, or patterns. Adobe Capture lets you use the photo sensor on your smartphone or tablet to capture images. The software then processes these images (which are raster images) and allows you to convert them into vector drawings (see our article DTP for more information on both types of images). The particularity of the latter is that there is no loss of quality when enlarged. Once your image has passed through Adobe Capture, it will look like a drawing.
But Adobe Capture takes you much further when it comes to using your photos. It lets you create physically realistic textures from these images and apply them to 3D modeling objects such as those you can create with Adobe Dimension. With Capture, you can also create shapes from the images you submit to it. The software also gives you the ability to capture text with a font you like from any medium, from a poster to a magazine, for example. The application then uses Adobe Sensei technology (see our article on Adobe Sensei, artificial intelligence to serve creation for more information) to match the fonts on Adobe Fonts and provide you with fonts similar to the one you’ve captured.
With Adobe Capture, you can also create custom designs using predefined shapes for reuse and, if desired, editing in Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator. Adobe Capture also lets you create themes and color gradients from the photos you take, much in the same way that Adobe Color lets you extract a color palette from an image. Finally, the application provides you with a tool for creating brushes and digital brushes for later use in other creative software in the Creative Cloud suite.
Whether you use Adobe Capture to generate vector drawings, shapes, patterns, color palettes, gradients, brushes, or to extract a font, you can import all of these elements into your library for reuse and use in projects developed using other compatible applications in the Adobe Creative Cloud suite or access them at any time by logging into your library on your Creative Cloud account.
