Adobe Express is an easy-to-use content creation and image-editing tool. Sitting somewhere between a basic program like Paint and a more advanced application like Photoshop. Adobe Express is available to full time employees who have been given a Stonehill owned computing device.
It can be especially useful when you need to quickly edit an image, create a graphic, clean up a screenshot, or prepare visuals for documentation without needing advanced graphic design experience.

Screenshots vs. Screen Recordings
Adobe Express can be useful for both screenshots and screen recordings, but the available editing options differ.
For screenshots, you can use the image-editing and markup tools to call attention to important areas or prepare the image for documentation or info graphics.
For screen recordings, Adobe Express can capture a process or demonstration, but the recording feature does not provide the same level of markup and editing available for screenshots.
