Adobe CC Instructions

Our license will only allow you to access the full version of Photoshop, Illustrator, Lightroom Classic, etc. on a desktop or laptop. It will not work on a phone or tablet or chromebook. There are other programs that are mobile-based that you have access to. You are welcome to use those apps as well, but know that you will not be able to complete any classwork on them. These are general instructions so, depending on your device, you may have to troubleshoot a little on your own or with your parents. If you get STUCK, use your phone to take a video of the part of the process where you get stuck and send it to me. I will troubleshoot with you in class.
