It sounds like something rather deep insideryour OS is causing a problem. Instead of a regular uninstall, you may want to try something more complete before reinstalling. Adobe has a toold calle the Creative Clour Cleaner Tool, just for that https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/cc-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html) I'd advise running IT, then restarting the computer and then doing a reinstallation. Most often, that resolves the issue.  IF you're using this under an Enterprise license, or you are ONLY using the standalone version of Acrobat (and not under the Creative Cloud), please refer to this page: https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/Labs/cleaner.html ...

This certainly is strange! I do see you're zoomed out to .03% which is insane zoom! Can you click the place in the lower left of your screen, where it says .03% and change your view from there? It looks like you clicked Option+Command 0, or hit View>Fit All In Window. Changing your zoom in the View menu, or using that widget at the bottom should move you to normal view.   This looks like it might have been a page on which you'd maybe placed a bunch of elements and either didn't resize them down, or somehow got rid of the resizing. Another way they could have gone in at that size, is if you used drag and drop, instead of File>Place to get them on an artboard.  On this screen I can only make out 3 artboards that are not aligned with each other. Is this the same amount of artboards that show in your Window>Artboards panel, or are others hidden from view? If this was what my screen looked like, I'd do my best to move and approximately resize whatever I needed to fit on any of my existing artboards (I'd even stack a bunch of things into ONE artboard, and then distribute them to new artboards that have the settings I want). Then, I'd likely use the Artboards tool with Shift to select multiples of the existing artboards, and then use the alignment options in my control bar (or Window>Align) to arrange the artboards and separate them out as needed - also resizing them to the dimensions I want. If I THEN needed more artboards, I'd make them and move my assets into them.  With so many things on here, it may also help to rename the appropriate layers and sublayers, so you know what's on each. Layer management is SO helpful here, especially when organizing things. I'm a big fan of the selection column, for moving things among layers. If you want to learn more about those, check out https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/layers.html It would take some work, but then you can see everything on there, and not have to be sooooo very zoomed out - and you wouldn't have to start from scratch, and reimport everything. Of course, that's also an option, if you prefer. . ... View more

As far as I can see, nobody has performed any benchmark tests for Illustrator on the M3 chip. There was an independent test run by the Pfeiffer report, that spoke to significant speed increases from the Intel chip to the M1, though (https://www.pfeifferreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Creative_Cloud_on_Apple_Silicon_Benchmark_Report.pdf). If you barely felt the difference with your M2, I'm wondering if you have some background functions running that may be slowing down your Mac in general? Perhaps there are items that are taking up more than their fair share of your 32GB RAM? Illustrator uses SO much math - I've always found that my RAM measurement made a huge difference. For example, my 2020 iMac27" had 128GB of RAM, my current M1 Studio has 64GB, and in a lot of cases where math is involved (Illustrator, Photoshop filters, video rendering), I'm often feeling like it's slower - although I've never run any actual tests).   There is no indication for anyone, whether continued optimization has occurred for the increased speeds of the M series chips. I do see several reports of slow functionality of Illustrator on M3's and M4's, and I've really seen no resolution. I'd like to suggest making a Bug Report on this, using the Bug Report feature of this Community page (see attached photo).           ... View more

I'm not certain exactly what you're going for, but the issue I see is the stark color demarcation between the smoke and the sky. The smoke is dense, but then... it just ends. I'd think a mask on the smoke portion of the lava layer, with soft variations in the gray area, might help you. To add a mask on an already masked layer, you can turn it into a smart object (https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/create-smart-objects.html) and put your mask over that. If we could see the red through parts of the blue- very little at the bottom, but increasingly as it goes up and the smoke dissipates, you may get a more grounded feeling. I personally would also extend the smoke up. You may try generating some more similar smoke going upwards towards the clouds (https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/generative-fill.html or https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/generate-image.html), and also masking them until they have a more natural view of the red sky behind them.  Additionally, I feel like some of that red sky might be showing at least at the edges, if not on the rock edges of the volcano. Mixing the hues among selected parts of the image, and allowing more interaction between the layers, may give you the effect you're seeking. ... View more

This is more of an operating system issue, if I'm reading your question correctly.  Before I can continue to try to help, please clarify, when/where/how are you attempting to view your folder content? Maybe some screenshots would help. Numbering your images SHOULD work, as long as you're sorting your view by Name. Did you use starting 0's for the first digit of your numbers under 10? If not, things may go out of sorts. For me on my Mac, when I use a numbering system, it DOES seem to work, so more detail would be very helpful. ... View more

Hi. Auto Blend Panorama is a great feature, and you can find instruction on this thread: https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/automatically-match-color-for-panorama/m-p/13744734 But since we don't have actual visibility of your images, we do have ways to make images match tonally, more closely. The Match Color command is really helpful for this (https://www.photoup.net/learn/how-to-match-a-color-in-photoshop) And, it can be done even more manually, with the information in this article: https://digital-photography-school.com/how-to-match-exposures-when-stitching-panoramas-in-photoshop/ Hope that helps!   ...

Per a previous discussion, it looks like you may be creating your document with the "This document requires signatures" option selected. When doing that, you create an Adoge Sign Form. When you don't do that, it creates a regular signable PDF (I haven't tried this myself, as I use the Sign tool in my own documents). https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/locking-certain-fields-after-signing/m-p/14430843 DO know that receivers don't have to download anything to use Adobe's Sign tool, so that may still be a better option for you https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/send-in-bulk.html Hope that helps! ...

Looking up at a very high mountain. Next to the mountain is a floating island, seen from near the bottom. Partly on the island, and partly on the mountain is a beautiful medieval castle with turrets and green roofs I had to add "add an island floating in the sky".

EDIT!!! SORRY - I misread it!!!! I can't delete this, so I'll just have to do another! Hanukkah lands on the same dates as Christmas this year, and so I would be including both in a centerpiece. I was extremely frustrated, as Firefly seems to have no actual clue how to create a menorah, and no idea how to make it 9 candles. I tried multiple variations on this, and finally settled on this image, since it seems to be trying! Although, the 2nd one also seemed to try. It DID get the Christmas tree balls request (which other images didn't do well), but also, like with the House image, doesn't seem to get the idea of Christmas lights (in some it did, but everything else was off).  This was after several iterations... so I settled on what it could do.   ...

Initial prompt: Family man, woman, two children, multi racial, playing in snow in front of a house with a lit fireplace in the living room viewed through the window. 2 dogs outside and one cat in the window. white, red and green christmas lights on the eaves of the house Tried to add cat in window, but Firefly didn't like it. I had to alter the dogs' heads and tails. Added menorah in top window, but could not make it one, with FF. And, it had a miserable time adding any variation of text for Christmas lights. Wondering if anyone got it to understand that one.. Oh yeah - and it would only do the fireplace prompt, if the whole window was filled with it. No room, just a fireplace... hmmm..... ... View more

It really ought to be working that way - does on mine, on my Mac. Question - are the things you're selecting on different layers? If so, remember to choose Sample All Layers in your Control Bar.

To answer this correctly, it would be helpful to know if your original Illustrator document has the logos on separate layers, or the same layer. I believe using separate layers in Illustrator would enable you to accomplish what you want.  ... View more

Please do note that you're posting on a User to User forum. Sometimes, it's reviewed by Adobe staff, but for a post like this, I'm afraid you're not likely to get a response.
