 A realistic shadow helps your subject feel grounded in the scene. In Photoshop, there are several ways to create one, depending on your subject and lighting. Based on workflows shared by experts in the Photoshop community, we've brought together a few of the most effective techniques here. Choose the method that best fits your workflow. Method 1: Using Generative AIAI can speed up the setup, but you will still get the best results by refining the shadow yourself.Use Select Subject or Remove Background to quickly isolate your object.  Use Generative Fill to extend the surface where the shadow will fall. Learn more. You can also use Harmonize. It analyzes the lighting, color, and tone of the scene, and can also generate a matching shadow to help the subject feel more naturally integrated. Learn more. Refine the generated shadow manually using one of the methods above for the most realistic result. Method 2: Drop Shadow EffectThis is the quickest way to add depth and separation to elements that sit on top of an image. It works well for design elements that exist on their own layer. Here is a link with more details.✅ Best for: Text, graphics, logos, and objects added to an existing image.⚠️ Limitation: This method does not work for objects that are already part of a flat image or photograph. For those cases, use one of the manual shadow techniques below. Method 3: Multiply GradientCreate a new layer. Draw a black-to-transparent gradient from the point where the object meets the surface. Set the layer blend mode to Multiply. Clip the layer to the subject (Alt/Option + click between layers). Lower the opacity and adjust the position.This method is fast but works best for simple shadow shapes.✅ Best for: UI elements, packaging mockups, simple product cards⚠️ Limitation: Lacks shape complexity Method 4: Hand-Painted ShadowCreate a new layer and set it to Multiply. Select a Soft Round Brush with 0% Hardness and 20–25% Opacity. Paint where the object touches the surface. Build the shadow gradually using multiple strokes.Refine the shadowUse Quick Mask (Q) and apply Gaussian Blur to soften selected areas. Use the Smudge Tool to stretch and soften the edges.This method gives you the most natural-looking results.✅ Best for: People, lifestyle photos, compositing into real scenes✅ Key advantage: Natural variation and control Method 5: Duplicate & DistortDuplicate the subject layer. Fill the duplicate with black and place it below the original. Go to Edit > Transform > Distort. Stretch and skew the shadow to match the light direction. Apply a slight Gaussian Blur (1–2 px). Reduce the opacity until the shadow blends naturally.This method gives you precise control over direction and perspective.✅ Best for: Product photography, angled lighting✅ Key advantage: Correct perspective and direction Method 6: Channel-Based ShadowOpen the Channels panel. Duplicate the Red channel, or the channel with the highest contrast. Paste it as a new layer. Open Layer Style > Blend If and split the Highlights slider to reveal shadow detail. Adjust the shadow with a Lightness adjustment if needed. Use Edit > Transform > Distort to match the scene.This method keeps realistic photographic shadow detail intact.✅ Best for: Maintaining real photographic shadow detail⚠️ Requires a suitable source image 💡 Pro tips: If your shadow needs to wrap across walls or other 3D surfaces, Photoshop cannot generate it automatically. Create the shadow in a 3D application using a shadow catcher, then composite the rendered shadow back into Photoshop. The most realistic shadows are darkest and sharpest near the object. As the shadow moves away, it becomes softer and lighter. Matching the shadow to the direction and intensity of your light source makes the composite feel believable. Join the conversation 💬Which method do you rely on most in your workflow: fast gradients, painted shadows, or full distortion setups? If you’ve experimented with combining techniques (for example, distortion + hand painting for extra realism), share your before/afters.

TL;DR Admins can now search for inactive users in the Admin Console using their email address, username, first name, or last name. This makes it easier to locate a specific inactive user when you don't have their exact email on hand. Why this matters Previously, finding a specific inactive user required knowing their exact email address or manually paging through the Inactive Users list, which is impractical for organizations with a high volume of inactive accounts. This has been a frequently requested improvement from admins managing storage governance at scale. With this update, the search field now accepts email addresses, usernames, first names, or last names. Once you locate the user, you can act on their folder using the same options available today. What you need to know  Search by email, username, first name, or last name is available directly from Storage > Individual user folders > Inactive Users.  Search may return no results in a few specific cases: if the user's information was deleted from the system, if they were never part of your organization, if they were a directory user who was removed from the directory or deprovisioned, or if they have no inactive storage.  Once you find a folder, your options remain the same: share content now (sent as a ZIP to a user you specify), share content later (stays in Inactive Users until deleted manually), or permanently delete content (immediate, no recovery).  This is available to system admins and storage admins; no new role configuration is needed.  Get started Full documentation: Manage Adobe storage, see "Delete folders of inactive users." Quick links  Admin Console  Manage Adobe storage documentation  Have questions about this update?

 TL;DRFederated Guest Access (FGA) is now generally available. It allows enterprise customers to onboard external partners, agency staff, vendors, consultants, as federated users, without requiring ownership of their email domain. This feature is available to organizations that purchased an enterprise plan directly from Adobe and have at least one active federated directory. If that's not your setup, this capability won't appear in your Admin Console yet.  What changed  Previously, creating a Federated ID user required your organization to own the user's email domain. That meant you couldn't add anyone using a non-claimable domain, such as gmail.com, or a domain claimed by another organization as a Federated ID user. In practice, this blocked a common scenario: bringing an external vendor or consultant into your Adobe environment under the same SSO and authentication policy you use for employees.  FGA removes that restriction. You can now add a user with any email address as a federated guest, a new variation of the Federated ID account type. Federated guests authenticate through your organization's IdP, just like internal employees, and their account is scoped entirely to your organization, independent of any account they hold elsewhere, including with their own employer.  Federated Guest Access is particularly useful anywhere enterprises rely on outside expertise, marketing teams working with agencies, IT departments bringing in consultants, or organizations collaborating with partner companies. In each of these cases, FGA replaces the workaround methods teams previously used to onboard external contributors, which often led to inconsistent authentication, extra admin overhead, or gaps in access control. With FGA, external partners are brought under the same SSO and security policy as internal employees; their entitlements remain fully isolated from any other Adobe account they hold; and admins manage them through the same console and controls they already use for internal users.  A concrete example from Adobe's documentation: a contractor who already has a federated account through her employer can be added as a federated guest by the company hiring her. She signs in through the hiring company's SSO to access assigned tools. Her federated guest account carries its own entitlements and assets, fully separate from her employer-owned account. Neither organization has visibility into the other's data.  Who this applies to: This capability requires an enterprise plan purchased directly from Adobe, plus at least one active federated directory already configured. If your organization doesn't meet both conditions, you won't see the Guest domains tab in your Admin Console. Contact Adobe Support if you believe you should be eligible, and the option isn't showing.  Go to Admin Console What you need to know before setting this up  Supported products right now are limited to four: AEM Assets as a Cloud Service, Adobe Express, GenStudio, and Workfront. Assigning any product outside this list to a federated guest will fail without consuming a license. Check this list before you provision.  Setup occurs via a new Guest domains tab within each directory's settings in the Admin Console.   Every federated guest completes a one-time email verification and consent step before their first sign-in.   If your organization owns a claimed domain, you control whether other organizations can use it as a guest domain, and you can review that usage from Identity Settings at any time. If you wish to block your claimed domain usage as guest domain, please contact Adobe Support.  Federated guests use an account switcher to move between accounts tied to the same email address, but each switch requires re-authentication, since each account has its own federation.  Get started. Full setup steps, including guest domain management and the Global Admin Console hierarchy for multi-org setups, are documented in “Federated Guest Access” on Help document.  Quick links Federated Guest Access documentation   Admin Console  Supported products Hit an edge case setting this up?

Hey everyone! We’re excited to share a new addition to the voiceover recording workflow that just landed in Premiere Beta 26.5.0 Build 59: Live waveforms while you record.This feature is on by default and is designed to give you immediate visual feedback as you record. No more recording blind and waiting until you stop to see what you captured.What’s New?When you record a voiceover now, the audio draws onto the timeline in real time. As you speak into the mic, the waveform renders live in the clip, so you can see your levels, pacing, and pauses as they happen. Your recording takes shape in front of you instead of showing up only after you hit stop.Where to find itYou’ll see the waveform render automatically in the target track the moment you start a voiceover recording. There’s nothing to turn on. As soon as you begin, the audio draws into the clip in real time so you can follow the take as it happens.Live waveform feedback while recording a voiceoverWhy this mattersRecording voiceovers is a performance, and performances need feedback. Without a live waveform, you’re talking into a void and hoping the take landed. Live waveforms remove that guesswork by tying what you hear to what you see, the moment you record it.You can:Watch your levels in real time and catch clipping or low input before the take is wasted See your pacing and pauses as you go, so you can adjust delivery on the fly Confirm the mic is actually capturing audio without stopping to check Spot the usable section of a take immediately, instead of scrubbing back after recordingTry It OutThis feature is available now in the latest Premiere Beta 26.5.0 Build 59. Record a few voiceover takes with your usual setup and let us know how it feels. Your feedback helps shape how voiceover recording keeps evolving.Happy Recordings!Note: We’re still polishing some interactions, so expect to see improvements as we iterate. 

Welcome back to the Illustrator Creative Challenges - our monthly nudge to open Illustrator, try something new, and share it with the community. Last month, we turned beach photos into vector art. This month we're chasing that warm, humming glow of a classic neon sign: the kind that hangs over a roadside diner at the end of a long night. THE BRIEF:This isn't just any diner. Here's the fun part - choose a lane (or smash them together):🐾 The Animal Diner - a 24-hour joint run by, and for, animals. Maybe it's THE NIGHT OWL, open till dawn. Maybe it's a greasy spoon called COYOTE'S, or a flamingo-pink cocktail bar out on the strip. Your creature is the star of the sign.🛸 The Sci-Fi Diner - a roadside pit stop the way the 90s imagined the future: chrome, rockets, ray-guns, and flying saucers. THE MARS MALT SHOP. LAST STOP BEFORE HYPERSPACE. A neon rocket is optional but heartily encouraged.Want a raccoon running a diner on the moon? Even better. The brief is a neon diner sign - the world it belongs to is entirely yours.HERE’S MINE:Image Credit: Adobe StockI went with THE NIGHT OWL. Here's the workflow: I set the name in NeonStream, then rebuilt the letters as open paths so they'd behave like real neon tubing. The core trick lives in the Appearance panel: I stacked two strokes on every path - a thin, bright, near-white core sitting on top of a thicker, softer colored stroke underneath. That alone makes a line look lit from inside, before any effects. Effect → Stylize → Outer Glow on each element (Mode: Screen, a color close to the tube) through the halo. A little goes a long way. A dark navy-to-black gradient background gave the light something to sit against. I drew the owl with the Pen tool, because real neon is bent from a single length of glass. Keeping it "one unbroken line" or close to it, is what sells the effect. YOUR TOOLKIT:Neon is really a lighting effect, and Illustrator has everything you need to make it convincingly: Appearance panel - multiple strokes - the heart of it. Stack a bright thin core over a wider, softer glow color on a single path to build a tube that looks lit from within. Strokes with round caps & joins - set ends and corners to round so your tubes read as bent glass, not cut pipe. Inner & Outer Glow - the actual halo (try Mode: Screen on a dark background). Stack it lightly over the lettering and motifs; a Gaussian Blur applied to the whole sign adds an extra haze. Type & Adobe Fonts - hunt down a bold script or a fat retro face that feels like 1994. Pen & Curvature tools - to draw your animal or rocket as continuous, bendable tubing. Gradients - a dark, uneven background reads far richer than flat black and makes the glow pop. One pro tip that changes everything: work on a dark background from your very first shape. Neon only looks like neon in the dark. LIGHT IT UP:You've built a neon sign, now light it up in the thread. Reply with: Your final neon sign. A line or two on your process - which font, how you built the glow, which universe you chose. Honestly, this is the best part to read, so don't skip it. Not ready to post a finished sign? Drop your diner's name and the lane you're taking, and we'll be waiting to watch it light up. WHAT’S NEXT? We're already cooking up Challenge #4 - think about designing your own graphic and seeing it on a real product with Illustrator's Mockup feature. But that's for later. For now: find us that 2 am glow.If you found this helpful, hit 👍 Like. Tap ⭐ Subscribe to be first to see the next challenge. And feel free to share it with anyone who'd enjoy joining in.

Drag across any audio track or double-click an audio gap to select the duration you want to generate. The range can be trimmed or moved to any audio track.  Describe the sound effect you want to generate. (Optional) Record your voice to guide timing and energy, then select Generate. Review multiple generated variations and choose your favorite by clicking on the AI badge. Tip: You can continue creating range selections while previous generations are still processing.  Generate Video without leaving the timelineNeed b-roll, a cutaway, an establishing shot, or to fill a gap in your edit? Generate video directly from your timeline using Adobe Firefly or supported partner models.Select a range, choose your model, add optional reference frames, describe what you want, and Premiere inserts the generated clip into your sequence.Generating VideoSelect the Generative Media Tool from the Toolbar. Drag across any video track or double click a gap to select the duration you want to generate.    Select your model, select any reference images (first, last, previous, next or reference), enter your prompt and generate. The Generative task bar supports Adobe Firefly Video Model and Partner models. The default model on the Generative task bar is Veo 3.1. You can use First Frame, Last Frame, Previous Frame, Next Frame or Reference Frames (for supported models) to guide video generation. Input frames can be sampled from the Program Monitor, Source Monitor, or Project Panel.  For gaps, Previous Frame and Next Frame automatically use the adjacent clips on either side of the gap. We recommend using input frames for more accurate results.   The eyedropper lets you input frames from the program monitor, the source monitor or from the project panel. Tip: Veo 3.1 (the default model) only supports reference frames for 8 second generations and 16:9 aspect ratio.  Enter your prompt, check your setting and click generate. The Generative task bar displays the settings used for generation, including resolution, aspect ratio, frame rate and duration. Premiere automatically selects the closest model settings that match your sequence wherever possible.  Content that includes AI-generated media or has been edited using generative AI tools will automatically receive Content Credentials at export to indicate the use of generative AI.We look forward to your feedback  and questions.Abhi SinghPrincipal Product ManagerPremiere Desktop 

How to Save an InDesign File for Older Versions (IDML) Did you know? InDesign files aren't backward compatible by default - a .indd file saved in InDesign 2024 simply won't open in InDesign CC 2019. But there's a simple workaround: export as IDML. What is IDML?IDML (InDesign Markup Language) is an open, XML-based file format that acts as a universal bridge between InDesign versions. Any version of InDesign from CS4 onwards can open an IDML file - making it the go-to format when collaborating with colleagues or clients on older software.But backward compatibility is only half the story. IDML is also one of the most reliable ways to recover a corrupted InDesign file. Because IDML is XML-based rather than binary, exporting a damaged .indd to IDML and then reopening it often strips out the corruption that's causing crashes, freezes, or "cannot be opened" errors - even when other recovery methods fail. Many InDesign users keep this trick in their back pocket specifically for emergencies, not just version-hopping. How to Export an IDML File Open your document in InDesign. Go to File → Save As Or. In the Format dropdown (Mac) or Save as type dropdown (Windows), select InDesign CS4 or later (IDML). Name your file and choose a save location. Click Save. That's it! You'll now have a .idml file alongside your original .indd - share the IDML version with anyone on an older version, or use it as a clean rebuild if your original file starts acting up.Note: As an alternate, you can also go to File → Export → IDML 💡 Pro tip: Always keep your original .indd file. IDML is great for compatibility and recovery, but your native file preserves full fidelity, linked asset paths, and version history. What to Watch Out For Some newer features may not translate perfectly. Effects, paragraph styles, or objects using features introduced after CS4 may appear differently or be flattened when the IDML is opened in an older version. IDML is not a replacement for your working file. Think of it as a "compatibility export," not your primary save format. Check your links before exporting. Broken links in your .indd will carry over into the IDML. If you're exporting to recover a corrupted file, try it even if the .indd won't open normally - IDML export/reimport can sometimes succeed where a direct open fails, since it forces InDesign to rebuild the file's internal structure from scratch.  Quick Recap Need Use Working file (same version) .indd Sharing with InDesign users on older versions or maximum compatibility .idml Recovering a corrupted or unstable file .idml (export, then reopen) Archive your finished project .indd + .idml  Have questions or run into issues with your IDML export?

Guides are a foundational tool for responsive, reusable layouts and simplifying design decisions. We're bringing new features to After Effects guides that make them closer in line with Premiere Pro, so guides behave more consistently when you move between apps. Here's how to get the most out of the new functionality.What's New in After Effects GuidesPercentage‑based guides Position guides relative to the composition or view, not just absolute pixels, making them resilient to resolution and aspect‑ratio changes. Pinned guides Pin guides to the bottom or right edge (in addition to top/left) so layouts stay stable as dimensions change. Per‑guide color control Assign colors to individual guides for better visibility and organization. Improved guide editing Right‑click a guide to open the Edit Guide dialog, where you can adjust Position, Unit (pixels or percent), Pinning (origin or opposite edge), and Color. Guide import and export After Effects and Premiere Pro use the same .guides format, so guide presets move between apps with full parity - percentage positioning, pinning behavior, and per-guide colors are all preserved. Guide editing power-ups - keyboard shortcuts for faster layout work We've added quick modifier-key shortcuts to speed up guide placement and tweaking. While dragging a guide, tap Alt / Option to switch between pixel and percentage units, and Ctrl / Command to toggle between pinned or unpinned states.  Your input helps shape the future of this feature, please share your thoughts. The Composition panel includes guides to help align and position elements accurately.Pixels vs. Percentage: Which Should You Use? Choosing between pixel-based and percentage-based guides depends on your workflow and deliverables. Here's how to think about it:Use Pixels When:Creating fixed, precise layouts - Logo placement at exactly 50px from the top-left corner Working in a single, fixed resolution - Broadcast-specific formats (1920×1080) Aligning to exact frame dimensions - Title-safe zones at specific pixel distances Matching pixel-perfect designs - When your design comp or style guide specifies exact pixel valuesUse Percentage When:Creating responsive layouts - Content that adapts across multiple aspect ratios (Instagram Story at 9:16, YouTube at 16:9, broadcast at 4:3) Building reusable guide templates - Grids you'll use across different project sizes Scaling compositions frequently - Working with proxies or different resolution tiers Collaborating across teams - Guides that scale intelligently when shared between projects Choose pixels or percent as the unit for measuring guide positions relative to the compositionReal-World Workflow Scenarios Scenario 1: Multi-Format Social Media ContentYou're creating a promotional video that needs to deliver to Instagram (1080×1350), YouTube (1920×1080), and TikTok (1080×1920).With percentage-based guides:Create a master composition at 1920×1080 Set guides at 10% from each edge (safe margin for text and graphics) Add guides at 50% vertical and horizontal (center alignment for logos) Export these guides as a .guides file Duplicate the comp to 1080×1350 (Instagram) Import the same .guides file—guides automatically position at 10% and 50%, adapting to the new aspect ratio Repeat for TikTok at 1080×1920Result: All three versions maintain consistent safe zones and alignment without manual adjustment. Scenario 2: Broadcast with Action-Safe and Title-Safe ZonesYou're delivering to multiple broadcast standards: HD (1920×1080) and DCI (2048×1080).Using pinned guides:Create guides pinned to the top at 10% (action-safe top margin) Create guides pinned to the bottom at 10% (action-safe bottom margin) Create guides pinned to the left at 5% and right at 5% (action-safe side margins) When you resize the composition or create a new one, these guides maintain their proportional distance from their pinned edgesResult: As broadcast specs change, your action-safe and title-safe zones scale proportionally without recalculation. Scenario 3: Organizing Complex Motion GraphicsYou're building a complex lower-third with multiple animated elements. You want to use different guide colors to organize your layout.With per-guide color control:Create blue guides for alignment zones (where graphics snap together) Create red guides for text-safe areas Create green guides for animation boundaries Right-click each guide to assign its color Team members instantly understand the layout logic by glancing at the guide colorsResult: Complex layouts become self-documenting and easier for teams to collaborate on. Quick Tips: Keyboard Shortcuts for Guide Power Users These shortcuts make guide editing faster—especially when you're setting up responsive layouts:While dragging a guide:Tap Alt (Windows) / Option (macOS) to instantly switch between pixel and percentage units Tap Ctrl (Windows) / Command (macOS) to toggle a guide between pinned and unpinnedExample workflow:Drag a guide to position it visually While dragging, tap Alt/Option to see the percentage value in real-time Drop it when the percentage looks right If needed, tap Ctrl/Command to toggle whether it uses the default position edge or is “pinned” to the opposite edgeThis is much faster than right-clicking to open the Edit Guide dialog every time.  What Hasn't Changed After Effects continues to support per-view guides, meaning guides can exist independently in:Composition views - Guides for aligning content in your main composition Footage views - Guides for aligning within source footage Layer views - Guides for aligning elements within a specific layerGuides remain relative to the view they're created in, and existing snapping behavior continues to work as always.  Ruler Display: A Note on Current Capabilities Currently, the composition rulers in After Effects display measurements in pixels only. While your guides can be defined as percentages, the rulers themselves don't show percentage markings (unlike Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign).Workaround: When working with percentages, the position values are always clearly displayed when you right-click a guide or drag it (you'll see "50%" on screen). This makes it easy to set precise percentage-based guides even without percentage rulers.  Premiere Pro Compatibility After Effects and Premiere Pro use the same .guides file format, so guide presets move between the apps with full fidelity. When you export percentage-based guides, pinned guides, or guides with custom colors from After Effects to a .guides file, Premiere Pro preserves all of those properties. The same is true in reverse, guide presets created in Premiere Pro keep their percentage positioning, pinning, and colors when imported into After Effects.The one difference: Premiere Pro's Guides panel can export multiple named guide templates in a single .guides file. After Effects applies the first template and ignores any additional ones. If you maintain a shared preset file with multiple template sets, make sure the set you want After Effects to use is listed first in the file.  Troubleshooting: Common Questions Q: I upgraded to the new version. What happened to my old pixel-based guides?A: Your existing guides remain unchanged and continue to work as pixels. New guides you create can use either pixels or percentages. You can mix both pixel and percentage guides in the same composition—right-click any guide to change its unit at any time.Q: I imported a Premiere Pro .guides file and only some of my guides showed up. Why?A: That file probably contained more than one named template. After Effects applies the first template and ignores the rest. If you want a different template to be used, re-order the file so the set you want is first, or export just that template set as its own file.Q: Can I convert all my pixel-based guides to percentage-based?A: You can, but it requires manual math. Right-click each guide, select Edit Guide, and use the position hottext field to calculate the percentage: original position ÷ comp dimension. For example, a guide at 960 px in a 1920 px wide composition is 960 ÷ 1920 * 100 = 50%. Then set the Unit dropdown to Percent.Q: Can I share guide presets with my team in Premiere Pro?A: Yes. Export a .guides file and share it—percentage positioning, pinning behavior, and colors are all preserved in both directions. Your team can use the presets in Premiere Pro exactly as you created them in After Effects.Q: Do guide colors affect rendering or output?A: No. Guide colors are for your workspace only and never appear in previews, renders, or final output.  Advanced: Understanding the .guides File FormatWhen you export guides, After Effects (and Premiere Pro) writes a plain-text JSON file with a .guides extension. Because both apps share the same format, guide presets move between them with full fidelity—positions, units, pinning, and colors are all preserved. If you build extensions, automation, or version-control your presets, use the schema below to see how guide data is stored in a .guides file.A .guides file is a list of named guide templates, each containing a list of guides:{ "version": 1, "guideTemplates": [ { "name": "template 1", "guides": [ { "orientationType": 0, "positionType": 1, "position": 50, "color:red": 1, "color:green": 0, "color:blue": 0, "pinToOpposite": false }, { "orientationType": 1, "positionType": 0, "position": 100, "color:red": 0, "color:green": 1, "color:blue": 0, "pinToOpposite": true } ] } ]}The two guides above are: a horizontal guide at 50% in red, unpinned (referencing the top edge), and a vertical guide at 100 px in green, pinned (referencing the opposite right edge). Field Reference (per guide) Key Type Meaning orientationType integer 0 = horizontal, 1 = vertical positionType integer 0 = pixels, 1 = percentage position number Distance in the unit set by positionType. Full precision is preserved (e.g. 1500.6951904296875). color:red / color:green / color:blue number 0.0–1.0 Per-guide color channels (not a hex string). 1, 0, 0 = red; 0, 1, 0 = green; 0, 0, 1 = blue. pinToOpposite boolean false = pinned to the top/left origin; true = pinned to the opposite edge (bottom for horizontal guides, right for vertical guides). Wrapper Fields Key Type Meaning version integer Format version (currently 1). guideTemplates array One or more named templates. name string Template name. May be empty ("") for a single unnamed export from After Effects. guides array The guides belonging to that template. Note — multiple templates: A .guides file can contain several named templates (for example, a file exported from Premiere Pro's Guides panel). After Effects does not have a multi-template guides manager, so on import it applies the first template and ignores any additional ones. If you maintain a shared preset file with more than one set, put the set you want After Effects to use first.Note — mixed units within a template: positionType is set per guide, not per file or per template. A single template can freely mix percentage and pixel guides (the example above does exactly that).Tip — automation: The same orientation / position / unit / color / pinning model is exposed to scripting, so anything you can store in a .guides file you can also create or read programmatically.

Adobe has released ColdFusion 2025 Update 10 and ColdFusion 2023 Update 21. The releases introduce some important advancements that reinforce a clear direction: secure-by-default behavior, tighter control, and better developer governance. Download the updatesColdFusion 2025 updates ColdFusion 2023 updatesThis update focuses heavily on addressing critical security concerns while also giving developers more control over how their applications interact with external systems, attachments, and XML processing.Security fixes and cumulative patchesBoth updates address multiple vulnerabilities that could result in arbitrary code execution, privilege escalation, and security control bypass.From an operational standpoint, this update is cumulative, which means patch adoption does not require sequential upgrades. However, teams skipping prior updates should account for behavioral changes introduced in intermediate versions, especially in areas that now enforce stricter validation.Attachment handling: Explicit allow-listing via acceptThe introduction of the accept attribute across Exchange-related tags (cfexchangemail, cfexchangecalendar, cfexchangetask, cfexchangecontact) and alignment with cfpop and cfimap formalizes attachment filtering as an application-level concern.At runtime, accept acts as an extension-based allow list, evaluated as a comma-separated set (for example, .pdf,.txt). This shifts attachment handling away from implicit acceptance toward deterministic filtering at the tag level.From an implementation perspective:Matching is performed against file extensions, not MIME types The evaluation occurs before attachment persistence, reducing downstream validation overhead It enables developers to enforce context-specific filtering policies per integration pointFiltering model: Dual-layer validation (allow list + block list)The filtering pipeline now follows a more structured evaluation model combining:Application-level allow list (accept) Platform-level blocked-extension listThe resolution logic is deterministic:If accept is not specified, only the blocked-extension list is enforced If accept="*", the allow list short-circuits validation and bypasses blocked-extension checks entirely If a file extension is explicitly declared in accept, it acts as an authoritative override, even if the extension is present in the blocked list In all other cases, the file must satisfy both the allow list and block list constraintsThe key implication here is that filtering is no longer purely defensive (block-based), but policy-driven, where application logic can selectively override platform defaults when required.A JVM-level override (-Dcoldfusion.attachment.allowblockedextensions) allows reverting to legacy permissive behavior.MCP Client: Multi-layer command authorizationNOTE: Only applies to ColdFusion 2025 Update 10Update 10 introduces a composable authorization model for STDIO MCP server command execution.Command execution is now governed by three independent sources: Server-level whitelist (security-settings.json) Enforces administrator-controlled baseline restrictions Deny-by-default model: commands must be explicitly enumerated Application-level whitelist (this.security.mcp.commandWhitelist in Application.cfc) Enables per-application scoping of allowed commands Inline whitelist (passed in MCPClient() / MCPServer()) Maintains backward compatibility with existing implementations These lists are merged at runtime using a union operation. A command is executable if it exists in at least one list.This design introduces a federated control model, where enforcement is distributed across infrastructure and application layers. However, it is important to note that restriction requires explicit exclusion from both server and application scopes, as the model is additive rather than restrictive.From a security perspective, this reduces the risk of arbitrary command execution while maintaining flexibility for dynamic integrations.XML processing: Saxon feature gating via JVM flagsColdFusion’s Saxon-based XML processing (XMLSearch, XMLTransform) now enforces feature-level restrictions using JVM flags, all disabled by default.The newly introduced flags gate access to:xsl:result-document → controls file write operations unparsed-text() → accesses external text resources doc(), doc-available() → loads external XML documents environment-variable() → exposes runtime environment variablesThese capabilities are disabled unless explicitly enabled via JVM configuration.This has several implications:Prevents data exfiltration via XSLT transformations Blocks access to file system paths and environment variables Eliminates implicit trust in transformation inputsDevelopers enabling these features must now explicitly evaluate the security risk vs functional requirement, making the configuration process intentional rather than implicit.Package updates and platform consistencyThe updates also include updates to multiple core packages, including administrator, ajax, exchange, feed, mail, and websocket modules.From a runtime and deployment perspective:No connector reconfiguration is required Package updates are applied alongside the core update Package rollback is decoupled from core rollback and depends on minimum core dependency constraintsThis ensures consistency across modules while maintaining compatibility boundaries.Download the updates and validate them in your staging environment. If you encounter any regressions or unexpected behavior after upgrading, report them through the Adobe support channel or your standard issue-tracking process, including relevant logs and reproduction details.
