Continuing the tradition started by gener7, and continued by Peru Bob, we invite you to, “Something we can relate to part 3.” This is the Adobe Community place to post, “relevant cartoons, photo edits, memes and other assorted witticisms.” Here's a classic to start us off in 2024:  

I think it always great to share your work... and even cooler to share your portfolio.Since Adobe Portfolio allows you to personalize your protfolio.... the share your links.Here is mine...https://kennshinabery.myportfolio.com/ PLEASE KEEP THIS TOO JUST SHARING LINKS.... AS WAY TO SHOWCASE HOW YOU UTILIZE YOUR CREATIVITY.  NO SLAMS ON ADOBE PORTFOLIO.... JUST HOW YOU USE IT!

I'm trying to troubleshoot an audio issue on my PC. Before I start reinstalling drivers, I'd like to confirm that my microphone and speakers are actually working correctly. Are there any reliable browser-based tools that can test both input and output devices?

MODERATOR: Please compliment Ranjith (tech support). He spent an hour helping with my Photoshop Elements 2026 purchase after Adobe sent the wrong link. Case: ██████████. He was so patient! [Case number moved to notes visible to Adobe only. -moderator]

We all have that moment - you stumble across a technique, a shortcut, or a workflow that makes you think "Why didn't I know this years ago?"Maybe it's non-destructive editing in Photoshop. Maybe it's a hidden Illustrator trick that saves you 20 minutes every single day. Maybe it's something so simple it's embarrassing - but it changed everything. 👇 Drop it in the comments:- Which Adobe app?- What's the skill or shortcut?- How long were you doing it the hard way before you found it? Let's build a thread that actually helps people level up. The best answers might just save someone hours of frustration. 🙌

Title: Suggestion for an Official Adobe African CommunityTo the Adobe Team,I am an Adobe user based in Africa, and I would like to propose the idea of establishing an official Adobe African Community.Across the continent, there is a rapidly growing number of creative professionals using Adobe products including graphic designers, video editors, photographers, and motion artists. However, there is currently no structured, official community space where African Adobe users can connect, share ideas, and meet regularly.A formal Adobe African Community with meetups, idea sharing sessions, and peer support would be incredibly valuable. Canva has successfully built a similar model. Adobe has the opportunity to do this on a much larger scale using the Creative Cloud ecosystem.I recommend starting with virtual meetups and possibly pilot chapters in countries such as Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Ghana, and Egypt.I am willing to help connect local creatives if this initiative moves forward. My e

I'm trying to open a customer support chat so that I can screenshot something, but I can't open it, how do I access the chat?

When my DR told me I have trigger thumb (which she demonstrated by gently pressing on the 'irritation lump' at the base of my thumb) we discussed options.A cortisone shot MAY help (doesn't help everyone) and would last AT MOST 3 months... and might or might not make the lump go totally away... meaning another shot.So I'm doing the 'non-intrusive' option of wearing a thumb brace... on in the morning and off on my way to bed (only removing during the day to wash my hands) for some unknown amount of time of at least a month, and maybe longer (with, of course, no guarantee the brace will fix the problem).Typing is a bit awkward since the brace keeps hitting the space bar, but I'm hoping that keeping my thumb straight will, eventually, make the irritation lump and pain go away.This getting old and wearing out is not fun  

I am new to this forum and want some guidance on my new project. I am looking for suggestion as well as a guideline for design my website https://deltaexecutors.mx/. This is a Roblox themed website, so I want to give it a gaming dark themed look. More specifically I want it to look more like a developer tool site, a very subtle professional product tool site but with a gaming effect. Since I am not a developer or designer, I have used AI tool to design custom sections but I know those codes that I put in custom HTML widget in WordPress editor are not scalable nor is it the professional way. I want a clear roadmap or guideline what and where I did wrong and what can we do to make it better. Is there anyone who can design the website for me the right way?

40 years of my life include creating art with a remarkable vector drawing program called FreeHand. At the dawn of our brave new digital world, it offered a nimble, intuitive tool for creating artwork in a way that unlocked possibilities I'd never dreamed possible.Digital artists who are unfamiliar with FreeHand can learn more about it on this Wikipedia page.I purchased every version of FreeHand — from version 1.0 in 1988 to the final release, version 11.0.2 in 2003. By that time, Adobe had swooped in to buy and kill FreeHand in what I now see as a cynical effort to force artists to buy Adobe's sad copycat, Adobe Illustrator.Whatever. I'm posting this tale on The Lounge because I couldn't find anywhere else to ask for help.I managed to keep an ancient Mac running for years, but it eventually died. I bought a newer Mac Mini capable of running the required Mac OS X 10.6.8 and tried my original Macromedia Freehand MX 11.0.2 install CD ROM. No joy.FreeHand tries to open, but fails. It doesn

It's almost 5PM here, so I can have some 'not broccoli' with dinner  

DENMARK AND FRANCE 🇩🇰🇫🇷  are actively reducing reliance on Microsoft products in government operations to strengthen digital sovereignty, address security concerns, and comply with GDPR. France is transitioning 2.5 million civil servants away from tools like Microsoft Teams, while Danish municipalities are replacing Windows and Office with open-source alternatives Linux and LibreOffice, aimed at eliminating reliance on US cloud tech.  I wonder if/when other EU nations will follow. And if so, what impact this might have on Adobe?  

Musk is rebranding AI into "SpaceXAI, the AI products from SpaceX.” He’s doing this ahead of a new IPO offering that is expected to be the biggest ever, raising as much as $75 billion on opening day and valuing his company at up to $2 trillion. Meanwhile, I’m still waiting for my check from DOGE 😒. I guess that ship got stuck in the Strait of Hormuz.  

Dear Adobe,   Women are not decorative objects.   I've been using Adobe products for decades. In all of that time I can't recall seeing a splash screen showing a man. Wonder why that is? There are plenty of young - and not-so-young - good-looking men, and plenty of female (and male) artists who can create amazing images of them. And yet, the "pretty pictures" as I fire up my Adobe software are almost always fantasy females obviously created for the male gaze.   As a woman, it angers and sickens me.   Please stop it, already!

I have to wonder how many gullible/stupid people there are in the US/World.Every day, usually more than once a day, I get an email thanking me for my order for 'something' and asking me to click on the attachment to download my invoice.I of course have not ordered anything (the only online orders I do are Amazon) so I use Mailwasher from Firetrust to delete the messages at my server... so nothing with a virus is ever downloaded to my computer (Lower cost version is annual subscription, Lifetime was $112.46 when I bought 2-7-23).BUT - there must be enough people clicking and having their information stolen to keep the scammers in business

 Santa Fe jury reaches $375 million verdict against social media giant Meta The jury found Meta which owns Facebook, Instagram & What’s App engaged in both “unfair and deceptive trade practices” and “unconscionable trade practices.”  As soon as the ink dries, I’m sure Meta will file an appeal.There’s also a torrent of other lawsuits in Meta’s future. This story is just getting started.https://www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_news/santa-fe-jury-reaches-375-million-verdict-against-social-media-giant-meta/article_05c399ed-8f2a-4a7b-891e-bf4bf7faab87.html 

Hi everyone,I am entering in a student photography competition and | just want some feedback on my photos before I submit them. Thank you in advance.

Since the pandemic hit, we've stayed away from movie theaters for the most part but we've been streaming plenty. Some were really outstanding; others were just meh!   I thought it might be fun to share our experiences here.    Last night we watched a 2021 black comedy/action/thriller called "Nobody" which was recommended by a friend.  If you don't mind gang violence and high action car chases coupled with good music & offbeat comedy, it's an entertaining ride.  B+ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7888964/mediaindex/   We recently saw "Don't Look Up" which has a stellar cast and great performances but it fell apart in some places.  Still I can't help but feel there's a really good film in there somewhere.  And a hysterical scene after the credits, so don't turn it off prematurely.  B- https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11286314/mediaindex/   So what have you seen lately?  

The link at the bottom made a very interesting read.The Original Pinot NoirPinot noir grapes used today are genetically identical to those consumed about 600 years ago, according to findings released yesterday. The study sequenced the genomes of 54 grape seeds dating back roughly 4,000 years. .Researchers found a seed indistinguishable from modern pinot noir grape seeds in the toilet of a 15th-century hospital in northern France, around the time Joan of Arc was active during the Hundred Years' War. Researchers could not determine whether the grapes were eaten fresh or used to make wine. However, the study did find evidence of winegrowers using techniques like grafting to clone desirable grape varieties as early as the Iron Age, when the Greeks introduced wine to France..Pinot noir grapes have earned the nickname "heartbreak grape" because their strong preference for cooler climates and thin skin make them difficult to cultivate. Some winemakers in Burgundy, the home of pinot noir, repo

Lawsuit Alleges Grammarly Uses Names of Journalists, Authors, and Academics For Its ‘Expert Review’ AI Tool Without Their Consent A class action suit filed in California says that Grammarly’s AI review tool fraudulently makes writing suggestions from ‘writing experts’ who never agreed to partner with the company in order to increase its own credibility.https://www.classaction.org/news/grammarly-lawsuit-alleges-software-uses-names-of-journalists-authors-for-expert-review-ai-tool-without-consent
