Today we will capture and create professional quality images and graphics using the FREE Adobe mobile applications Lightroom and Spark Post.
Use Lightroom to capture and edit raw image data, with control over professional capture settings.
Use Spark Post to create professional quality poster banner social media content quickly and effortlessly.
Lightroom and Spark Post require signing up for a Creative Cloud account.
Synchronized data between applications requires a paid Creative Cloud account. Premium features are also available with paid accounts.
Images shown here were found with the Find Free Images search built into the Spark apps.
Let’s get out from behind our desks and create images and graphics with the device in our hand.

Spark Post
Unfortunately at this time Spark apps run on iOS devices only. Spark for Android is currently in Beta.
Spark content can also be created with a web browser on Windows and Mac OS.
Free Premium Features exclusively for schools.
Includes:
• Enhanced data privacy: can be deployed consistent with children's data privacy laws (e.g. COPPA)
• Easier login: Ability to setup single sign-on so students can easily login with their existing school ID
• Enhanced control to keep students safe: Schools own the accounts and exercise admin rights over them. Plus, image results are more age appropriate for K-12 students.
• Premium Features for free: Adobe Spark’s Premium Features, used to customize Spark creations, are included for Free (normally cost $9.99 per month per user).
Adobe Spark for Education is deployed by schools or districts, and all students, staff, faculty, and anyone else with a login at that domain gets access to it.
