Adobe has acquired the social portfolio sharing service Behance, the company has announced.

Popular with photographers and designers, Behance will be integrated into Adobe’s new Creative Cloud service.

Financial details of the transaction were not revealed.

Behance boasts over 1 million members and hosts more than 3 million portfolios from photographers and digital artists.
