Today Adobe has released in the Adobe Labs a preview of the new Adobe Exchange! Quoting the official website:
The new Adobe® Exchange is a Creative Suite® extension marketplace. It is available as a panel within a variety of CS6 applications. The Adobe Exchange panel provides a new way to search, discover, and install plug-ins, extensions, and other content for Creative Suite products. With this preview of the Adobe Exchange panel, you can browse through items that are available for your CS6 applications; download and install those items; and update acquired items when new versions are available.
Developers of Creative Suite extensions can now reach a great deal of new customers via the Exchange panel: that opens directly within any major CS application (including among others Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Premiere, etc) and allows in-app buy. Users can search and navigate through extensions (either free and paid), read reviews, download trials if available. The buy is managed within Exchange – which relies on FastSpring servers for the e-commerce side – and the product is downloaded and installed via Adobe Extension Manager – and you’re ready to go!
An Adobe Exchange Producer Portal for developers lets them submit new products and control sells in quite a streamlined fashion – it looks like a modern, much more efficient evolution of the Adobe Marketplace.
That said, I’m proud and excited to inform you that RBG – the Roberto Bigano Group is there, with four extensions coded by the wonderful Giuly Abbiati and me!
