Adobe Express Newsletter October 2025 (Adobe MAX) Wrap

October was a milestone month for Adobe Express, highlighted by groundbreaking updates unveiled at Adobe MAX.

  • 🧹 Desktop Editor UI Update: Simplify UI to reduce navigation complexity with a dynamic toolbar, a new “edit page” panel, and more.
  • 💬 Contextual Commenting: Give precise feedback by attaching comments directly to specific assets for faster collaboration.
  • 🌈 Gradients: Add stunning linear or radial gradients to shapes, borders, and backgrounds for polished designs.
  • 📏 Use rulers and custom guides: Align and organize your layouts effortlessly by adding guides directly from the ruler.
  • ✍️ SVG Support: Seamlessly incorporate SVGs from AEM Assets or local uploads for scalable, high-quality graphics.
  • 🔄 AEM Replace: Instantly replace images with assets from AEM for streamlined brand consistency.
  • ⬆️ HEIC Image Upload: Upload photos from Apple devices without converting formats—saving time and effort.
  • 🎞️ Show all video layers in the timeline: Gain full visibility into video layers for better editing control.
  • 🔢 Decimal Point Text Size: Fine-tune typography with precise font sizing down to decimal points.
  • ⬇️ Download PDFs with CMYK color profile: Export a print-ready PDF with the CMYK color profile of your choice to ensure color accuracy and quality in professional printing.
  • 🖊️ Display Author in View-only Links: Whether you're collaborating as a team, giving credit to someone else, or keeping your name on it, you can now decide who appears as the author or choose not to show one at all.
  • 🖨️ New Zazzle Print Products: Expand creative possibilities with mugs, pillows, tote bags, and stickers.
  • 🌉 Explore templates across Creative Cloud apps: Jumpstart projects using professionally designed templates in Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere Pro, and After Effects, then seamlessly transition into Adobe Express to edit, co-create, and share.

💡 Expand Tables Quick Tip: Currently, you can't set fixed cell sizes, so it's important to be mindful of how you expand or contract your table. To maintain consistent cell dimensions, only use the drag handles on the bottom or right edges. Expanding from any other gridline will affect just that specific row or column—potentially throwing off your layout. Hope this helps someone avoid a formatting headache! ~Colleen Schweizer, Strategic Business Development Manager, Adobe Express
