[GFreeman]

ASUS is today honored to announce that the ProArt Creator Hub app has received a prestigious iF Design Award 2023 in the Apps/Software category of the Communications discipline. The iF Design Award is a globally recognized symbol of outstanding product design.

ProArt Creator Hub - the winner of a 2022 Red Dot Award in the Brands & Communication Design - Digital Solution category - is designed to expose users to the unique features and functions of their ProArt products. It's flexible and can be easily customized to the creator's needs, so they can quickly reap all the benefits with minimum effort. ProArt Creator Hub is included with all compatible ASUS products at no extra cost. The app provides a unified experience across all connected ProArt or ASUS creator devices, so creators can easily calibrate colors, adjust creative parameters and settings, monitor device performance, and optimize their workflows.



With ProArt Creator Hub, users have full control over the innovative ASUS Dial hardware, which has been updated for 2023. They also gain the ability to manage creative software settings via the 2023 version of the ASUS Control Panel virtual interface, a tool that now has even more features and is compatible with an even wider range of creative software, including Adobe creative apps, Microsoft Office apps, entertainment apps, browser apps and a wide range of other creative apps for a more intuitive and personalized experience. Additionally, the new Color Control helps users optimize their color tools using industry-standard digital color data supplied by Pantone.

The iF International Forum Design organizes the iF Design Awards each year, renowned worldwide and recognized as a seal of quality for products that excel in design quality, degree of innovation, functionality, ergonomics, and more. The awards saw intense competition this year, with almost 11,000 entries from 56 countries judged by an international panel of independent experts.

Whether the ProArt Creator Hub is good or not - it is useless for many users. It has no Linux support and it ONLY works installed through Microsoft Store. I own a Proart board but can't use the ProArt Creator Hub because I have Microsoft Store disabled in numerous ways even before considering the Creator Hub. And I wouldn't want the store (with accompanying apps) just for the Creator's Hub.

So yeah, ProArt Creator Hub is completely useless unless you use Microsoft Store specifically.

I once heard an industry insider say in an interview that these Tiawanese tech companies are more concerned with getting these meaningless awards than they are with pleasing their customers....it seems to be true.

I had to look what this app is about.

As far as i understand it is for collecting all kind of usage data about the ProArt products. Why should i deliver that to Asus for free? I don't see any reason to get spied by Asus. They shpuld not spend a hell of money for spying but build stable and versatile products. It's nobody's business to know, how long i watch which kind of "pornos". They do not have to take care what i'm doing on my rig and what programs i use. They should develop and sell simply stable hardware that runs in any user case. If they want to know what software is run by the user they can ask for. My new rig will have a ProArt mainboard and i will not install that software. Much more. The most time the rig is running on Linux. Developing software i need.

Since windows is being designed with the store as a main component, I can understand why they took that road. Some native apps like the image viewer, media player, video extension can only be installed/updated with the store...along with some drivers control panel: since 2021, nvidia doesn't include the NVCP in the driver, it's being downloaded from the store when you install the driver. So disabling the store is "non standard" as far as they are concerned

Very true, I suppose I am in the minority. I use nomacs as image viewer and k-lite as media player and I usually go with AMD cards and don't even install GPU control panel on my nvidia machines. I even use WPD to block all MS IPs so the store is not just uninstalled but also inaccessible to me. It's a peaceful life.

Its more like these companies are paying to get awards rather than address customer's concerns.
