Adobe Express – presono's knowledgebase

With Adobe Express you can now edit your media in presono! Yes, that's right! For example, you can crop images, correct them, remove their background or perform other actions in presono. All you need is a free Adobe Express account, which you then connect to your presono account once. From that point on, you can use all the features of Adobe Express in your Slide, in the Content Structure or in individual Media! We'll show you how it works!

Registration

Registration with Adobe Express is free - you will find the option to register or login directly in the editor - more on this in the next paragraph.

Ideally, you should create a connection to your account right at the start and then get started. If you are not yet logged in, you will find a notice in the upper left corner of the corresponding editor. To be able to save, you must register or log in in any case.

Using Adobe Express allows you to create new Media with Adobe Express and then upload it to presono. On the other hand, you can edit existing Media from presono - for example, you can add something (text, icons, arrows, etc.), but you can also change the size or remove the background of an image, for example. These changes will then be applied to all Slides, Templates and Presentation using this image.

Where can I find Adobe Express in presono?

You can access Adobe Express from various places:

directly in the Content Structure in the New menu,
directly in the Slide (or in your Slide in the Presentation) or
in the detail view of a media.

With the first two options, you can create a completely new media and then upload it to presono. The third option allows you to edit existing media in presono using Adobe Express. This will then be replaced wherever it is already in use.

1. Create a new media with Adobe Express (in the Content Structure)

To create a new media, click on the Content Structure and then on the "New" button. There you will find the option to create a new medium with Adobe Express.

Then select an aspect ratio for your medium and click on "Proceed".

Adobe Express will now open in an overlay. If you have not yet linked your account yet, you have the option of creating a free account or logging in here at the top left.

In the editor you will now find various options, templates and actions on the left and right to create your own image. At the end you can then click on "Insert" at the top right to save the image as a new media directly in presono. You can find out more here: Upload media
