Boost Your Creative Workflows With ASUS ProArt Creator Hub

Jan 13, 2023

Nearly all creators struggle with tight deadlines, heavy workloads, and long hours spent on editing and creating content.

While it is inevitable that being creative and achieving perfection in your art will require time, you can cut down on slowdowns caused by your laptop. Delays may be stemming from slow file loading, apps freezing or lagging when processing heavier files, or by long render times. Optimizing your computer to battle the issue can take time and skill. In addition, calibrating screen colors to show your content as intended is also time-consuming and sometimes difficult to do. Finally, inefficient workflows also extend your working time. Some simple tasks could be done much easier and faster.

The great news is that if you own a creator laptop from ASUS, you can very quickly and conveniently streamline your creative workflows and gain full control of your laptop’s performance.

This is made possible with ProArt Creator Hub, which allows you to focus on harnessing your creative potential rather than troubleshooting laptop issues or trying to optimize settings.

See how ProArt Creator Hub helps you save time and make content creation a breeze.

ProArt Creator Hub is a useful app for creative professionals, and it’s available on all creator laptops in the ASUS lineup. The app is intuitive to use, and it unifies your creative experience across compatible connected devices, making it easy to calibrate colors, adjust settings, or monitor performance. It also gives you full control over the ASUS Dial, DialPad, and Control Panel ― so you can optimize your workflow and unleash your full creative potential.

The main features of Creator Hub include:

Let’s take a closer look at how the ProArt Creator Hub helps creatives.

The ProArt Creator Hub Dashboard gives you a quick overview of your laptop, with tabs at the top for all connected ProArt devices.

At a glance, you can monitor system parameters, such as CPU load, memory and storage usage, or fan status. Each device has its own specific dashboard, making it easy to optimize the device and level up your workflow.

Dashboard also makes it easy to adjust system settings like fan speed. Depending on the model of your laptop, you may see different options:

You can also access shortcuts to other functions of ProArt Creator Hub directly from the Dashboard. Simply scroll through available views using the screen bottom navigation.

The Color Control menu in the ProArt Creator Hub features two useful tools that can help you ensure your display is as color-accurate as possible. Think of it as a single destination for all things related to color on your laptop. We collaborated with Pantone® to ensure you get all the digital color data you may need.

The Color Management feature allows you to easily capture and analyze any color that appears on your screen with the Screen Color Picker. This then send the information about the captured color to the Color Analysis tool.

With The Color Management Function, you can build your own Color Palettes with any colors, including the ones you just captured.

The Color Calibration menu in ASUS ProArt Creator Hub gives you access to the built-in display calibration tool. Working together with a hardware calibrator, this tool automatically adjusts all the parameters of the display to ensure perfect color accuracy. All you need to do is connect the color calibrator tool to your laptop, go to the Color Calibration function menu, and follow the on-screen instructions.

The chances that you work only in one app at a time are very low. Wouldn’t it be lovely to just launch everything you need in one click?

WorkSmart includes features that help you optimize your workflow efficiency by creating task groups ― a collection of up to eight apps that will open together. Simply choose which apps belong to a task group and pin it to your desktop for instant access. You can create multiple different task groups for different types of workflows.

For instance, photographers often work in parallel in Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom Classic, and have a cloud drive app open. Users can bundle them them together using a task group and launch them all quickly at the same time, straight from the desktop.

All creators know that to work efficiently in creative apps, you need keyboard shortcuts. Doing everything with your mouse is much slower.

The Customize Key menu in the Control Settings lets you assign handy keyboard shortcuts for the system, your most-used apps, and even the creative software ― all in one place.

For example, you can replace the standard CTRL + ALT + SHIFT + Down Arrow shortcut that moves selected items in Adobe After Effects with something more convenient, such as the Windows key. It's a great way to streamline your creative workflow.

Most ASUS creator laptops feature unique tools, designed specifically for creative pros. Compatible with essential creator applications, they can boost your workflows and save you time.

If you are using a ProArt Studiobook 16 OLED or a Zenbook Pro 16X OLED, your computer is equipped with an ASUS Dial ― a physical rotary control on the left side of your laptop’s touchpad. In laptops like Vivobook Pro 16X OLED, you’ll have a DialPad ― a virtual version of the same tool built into the touchpad. Finally, in dual-screen laptops like Zenbook Pro 14 Duo OLED, the creative capabilities are even greater with a unique ASUS Control Panel.

ASUS Dial can help you quickly and easily control settings like brush parameters in Photoshop® or Illustrator®, adjust the color balance in Lightroom® Classic, navigate the timeline in After Effects® or Premiere® Pro, and more! In fact, more than 100 functions are available to help optimize your workflow.

You can control ASUS Dial and Control Panel settings via the ProArt Creator Hub. In the Control Settings menu, you can customize how they work with your most essential software, including popular Adobe® apps, as well as the Office suite, browsers, and popular entertainment apps like Netflix or Spotify. Simply click the ASUS Dial button, and start customizing!

As you work, your laptop can become slower. That’s a sign that you might be running out of memory or that the CPU is getting overloaded. By simply using the ProArt Creator Hub and its Performance Optimization function, you can easily manage your computer's resources and boost its performance.

Resource Monitor helps you check the available memory and CPU load, and if needed, it will automatically free up memory with a click of a button.

The App Power Priority feature allows you to select your most-used apps and allocate needed processing power and memory to them, ensuring they run smoothly. The feature also deprioritizes everything non-essential.

Clean Files is a handy disk cleanup tool that helps you free up space for your new projects by deleting idle files. Of course, you have full control over what’s deleted and what stays.

By taking full advantage of the ProArt Creator Hub and ASUS Dial, DialPad or Control Panel, you will quickly realize that your laptop can be your primary tool.

Powerful creator laptops from ASUS are perfect for content creators and creative professionals ― whether you’re on the go or not! They pack a punch like many desktops and allow many convenient workflows that you previously needed a specialized peripheral device for.

Available at various price points and with different configurations, they can allow anyone ― from beginners to top-notch professionals ― to create high-quality content, anywhere.
