Creative Cloud has a plethora of added extras and there maybe one or two you miss, or forget from time to time. Adobe Market is one of those I forget, then when I need it turn my head to the skies and thank whoever dreamed it up.
Where You’ll Find It
I’m using a Mac here so I’ll find the CC logo at the top of the screen, if you’re on a PC then it’ll be down the bottom right.

Effortless Synchronising and Workflow
Here’s an example of how I use Market. In this we’ll see how easy it is to find and use a custom brush for use in Photoshop.
For this demonstration I’m using an image from Fotolia of a Pink rose.
What I’d like to do is get a spatter effect.
Typing Splatter in the search gives me some great effects straight off the bat;
Scrolling down I find a nice brush called Splatter Watercolor 4. Taking the mouse over this reveals the Download to CC Icon;
Clicking on the icon reveals a dropdown menu of all the CC Libraries I currently have, including one for Brushes. If I wanted I could create a new Library here, but I’ll pop it in Brushes;

No need to install a new Brush set. Just click on the brush in the Library and it becomes the active brush!
I’ve used the brush on a black mask to reveal the image of the rose;
