Using assets

In case of InDesign, once the user has chosen quality, the thumbnail of the image will become attached to the mouse pointer, until the user clicks on the spot on the page, where it should be placed. The user can also pre-select the spot, in which the image should be placed (for example, a frame). If the goal is to replace another image already existing on the page, the user needs to click on it, and then click Place/Use and choose the quality from the connector.
In the case of Photoshop, Illustrator, AfterEfects After Effects, or Premiere Pro, the procedure is simpler and the user can simply click Use on an asset out of the Adobe CC Connector and the asset will be placed on the canvas.

In InDesign, the quality configured on the MM5 config manager (Creative cloud connector - Low insert quality) will be used by default. If this is not set or the asset does not have the specified quality, then it will default to the source. For all the other Adobe products, source will be used. |
