Edit images with Adobe Express

Last update: February 5, 2025

Adobe Journey Optimizer B2B Edition integrates natively with Adobe Express, and enables you to access a set of Adobe Express image editing tools. You can use these tools to modify the images stored in the Journey Optimizer B2B Edition workspace for the connected Marketo Engage asset repository. The integration provides the following key benefits:

  • Increased content reuse by editing and saving new image assets in Journey Optimizer B2B Edition.

  • Reduced time and effort to update image assets or create new versions of existing image assets.

NOTE
Entitlements for Adobe Express editing features are included with all Journey Optimizer B2B Edition subscriptions.

The Adobe Express functions support PNG and JPEG image file formats.

To modify an image:

  1. Go to the left navigation and click Content Management > Assets.

This action opens a listing page with all the assets listed. The Journey Optimizer B2B Edition workspace is selected by default.
