Any time you use any of the Adobe Creative Suite applications, such as Photoshop, Premier, Lightroom, etc., you will need to sign in with either an Adobe ID (for students) or an Adobe Enterprise ID (for faculty/staff). For students, this log in will be different than your HWS credentials. For faculty and staff, this ID will be your HWS e-mail address. Save your work often: if you are signed out, and you close the application, you may lose your work.
Faculty or Staff: If you have not previously been assigned an Adobe Enterprise ID by IT Services or you are unsure if you have an Adobe contact the IT Services Help Desk. Once you have been assigned an Adobe Enterprise ID, you will receive an e-mail from Adobe prompting you to create a password. Once you have created a password for your account, please follow the instructions below to sign in to the Adobe Creative Suite.
Students: You can create an Adobe ID for free on your own; see the instructions below. It is recommended you use your HWS e-mail but you can also use other methods to sign in like Facebook or Google.
