Advanced Search for Graphic Designers, and Drag and Drop from the Portal to Photoshop and InDesign

We are excited to announce the latest release of Wedia, which brings a significant enhancement to the Wedia connectors for Adobe Creative Cloud, specifically designed for Photoshop and InDesign users. This update introduces a new and powerful feature—an advanced search button.

With this new advanced search button, users can now effortlessly explore a vast array of media assets by seamlessly launching a browser directly into a specialized version of the DAM (Digital Asset Management) portal. This enhanced portal empowers graphic designers with the ability to perform targeted searches using advanced filters, ensuring they find the perfect media assets for their projects.

In addition to streamlined search capabilities, the DAM portal grants access to curated boards, allowing designers to efficiently browse and discover relevant media resources tailored to their specific needs.

One of the most exciting features of this release is the seamless integration of the web interface with Photoshop and InDesign. By leveraging the new advanced search functionality, designers can now conveniently drag and drop selected images directly from the DAM portal into their open Photoshop or InDesign documents. This eliminates the need for manual downloads and file transfers, saving valuable time and effort.

Thanks to the powerful Wedia plugin, the native version of the chosen media is automatically downloaded and seamlessly integrated into the Creative Cloud document.
