Lightroom, a cloud-based photography service for editing, organizing, storing and sharing photos; Adobe Spark, a collection of three apps empowering anyone with an idea to effortlessly create graphics, video stories and web pages in a matter of minutes; and Premiere Rush, an all-in-one, cross-device video editing app”>video editing app that makes creating and sharing online content easier than ever, are the perfect companion apps for fans looking to share their experiences.
“Live music fans are some of the world’s biggest influencers and are constantly looking for moments to drive culture,” said Maureen Ford, Live Nation’s President of National Sales. “The Adobe Creative Tour will help fans create and share unique, quality content to relive and inspire the magic of live music.”
The Adobe Creative Tour online hub will be the one-stop-shop for all participants to access benefits to live music events, sign-up for creative challenges (US only) and view inspirational work from other fans. To gain access to these benefits, participants will need to have a free Adobe ID.
The first creative challenge kicks off today in partnership with Lollapalooza and involves editing official Lollapalooza photos using the tools available in Lightroom mobile.
