I still use Save for Web (Legacy). I save images for the web every day, and this tool is still better than Save a Copy.   Save for Web (Legacy) lets me specify the dimensions of the file being saved. It gives me an approximate file size prediction.   I have been using it since it was on Imageready a million years ago, and I will keep using it for as long as I can.   Is there any earthly way I can save a WebP in there? Because the file size projection and being able to specify the resolution isn't in Save a Copy and that would come in incredibly handy.   ... View more

I have read that switching the images on our organizations web sites from JPEG to WebP is good for SEO.   And that the file sizes are smaller with WebP. And I can't see any difference between the two on side-by-side comparisons unless I zoom in. A lot. And then the WebP images seem to have less artifacting.   Is there any reason NOT to switch?     ... View more

I mixed some polymer clay together. Then I scanned it (and added Bevel/Emboss). It may not seem like it, but what you see was a lot of work. If I wanted to simulate something like this in Photoshop, where should I begin? All I can imagine is that I would draw a lot of random strokes on the canvas with the white and the two shades of red, and then smear the crap out of it.   If anyone can suggest anything better, I am open to suggestions! ...

Is there a Generative AI plugin for After Effects that can create graphics with motion in the same way that Photoshop can create Generative AI still images?   I am interested in creating backgrounds that look like the interior of some aquariums, but the ones I made took a ton of time, and I am looking for the quickest way to make a bunch more aquarium animated backgrounds.   ...

We have a self-published English book created in InDesign, which needs to be translated into Spanish.   I realize that this isn't just a simple copy/paste/replace solution, and that the entire flow of the book is going to change.   Does anyone know how to find people who specialize in this sort of thing? Are there web sites where I can hire someone to do this?   All suggestions are appreciated.   Thanks! ... View more

Adobe Fresco (as well as Procreate) has a way to fill in a space on one layer, while referencing the pixels on another layer.   If I were to draw a circle on one layer and use it as a primary reference. Then I can create several new layers and add color using the boundaries from the reference layer.   Can Photoshop do something like that?   Thanks! ... View more

Does anyone ever notice video footage can look okay in Quicktime, look darker in Premiere, and then look correct when exported?   All of this is happening on the same monitor. Colors look normal in Quicktime, looks darker when loaded into Premiere, and when the video is exported it goes back to normal.   I can take screen shots and I can try to dig up all the settings in Premiere, but I think they're all pretty much set to the default.   Thanks! ...

Is there a technique (or better yet, a template) for AE where I could simulate a crowd scene at a concert? If I were to draw, say, 25 or 50 cartoon characters, and put them in an audience at a concert?   Or is the only way to do this is from scratch? Where I would have to put every last one of the people in the audience into the project, one at a time (causing me to lose my will to live)?   Thanks. ... View more

I created a project in After Effects. There are video files in it that were rendered in After Effects. All files were rendered in Apple ProRes 422 HQ. All was well.   I got a new laptop a few weeks later. I have been rendering videos with Apple ProRes 422 HQ. I loaded the aformentioned project into AE, and all 19 of my video files can't be loaded into AE, with these error messages for each one:   Encountered errors while opening a project. 1) After Effects error: Could not open source file. Please check that file exists with correct permissions. 2) After Effects error: file 'DJ J& Charcoal 1.mov' cannot be imported - this 'MooV' file is damaged or unsupported.   I have opened these files in Quicktime and Premiere, and they're fine. How come After Effects (the place where they were created) doesn't want 'em? ... View more

I have an audio track on track 1. I have a video & audio track on 2.   I keep trying to sync track to to track 1, but track 1 is the track that keeps getting moved in the synchronization. I have selected both track 1 and track 2 in. the Audio drop-down menu, but it keeps moving track 1 no matter what I select.   Track 1 needs to stay put, and the clips I bring in to V2 & A2 are the ones that need to move.   Suggestions?     ...

I know how to parent layer opacity from one layer to another.   Could someone please tell me how to parent a layer's opacity so that one layer is the opposite from another layer's opacity? (ie - Layer 1 = 100% so Layer 2 = 0%) ... View more

I was working on some images today where I was right-clicking (or option-clicking) on the images with the Move Tool selected.

I don't know if this is a Premiere question, a Photoshop question, or an After Effects question.   My little boy made a stop-motion animation, but he didn't put a lot of care into the lighting.  (Kids, am I right?) Is there a solution in one of these Adobe applications where I can make his stills look more similar?   And I have already told him that the next time he does something like this, he needs to take more control over his lighting! ...

I loaded the "Blank" PSD puppet file from Adobe into an iPad app that supports thge PSD format.   I only drew in the existing layers. No layers were deleted or renamed.   When I saved the edited PSD file and saved the file over the original Blank.PSD file in the CH project, the character was changed with the new artwork, but it was no longer able to move.   What did the PSD file lose by being edited and resaved, even though all the same layers and their names remained?   ...
