Solved

I just moved from a 2019 iMac to a Mac Studio M4 Max (2TB SSD, 64GB/16 Core). I have been working off a Sabrent USB-3.2 external docking station (https://sabrent.com/products/ds-sc4b?srsltid=AfmBOooS-DjNxD6zoL67XDT6TTJRhhftLQYBipfCAxXA4oTg8HIRx-NB) that holds my files. I do all processing (RAW files in Capture One) and retouching (Photoshop) off of the 7200rpm drives inside the Sabrent box. Would there be ANY speed advantage if I moved to a Thunderbolt 3 Storage Enclosure like the OWC ThunderBay 4 over my current USB-C box, or is the only way to take full advantage of the Thunderbolt speed bump to also work off of SSD drives? I'm guessing that the faster Thunderbolt docking station will not result in faster working speeds with my 7200rpm hard drives because the speed bottleneck is the hard drive itself, not the interface.  

I am running the latest version of Photoshop CC and Windows 10 64-bit.Hi all, I've been having an issue for a while (since one of the recent updates, I cannot remember which) where I am unable to drag files from any location on my PC into Photoshop. Rather than the file opening (or being placed into an open document), the mouse cursor changes to a "stop" or "no" icon. I recorded a video of what it looks like:I had temporarily solved the problem by doing the following (as per Google):I stopped running Photoshop as an administrator (which I had been doing as a means to 'fix' another problem I was having).This did NOT work on its own. I went on to do the second step (below) as recommended in various Google results.I disabled the "Show Messages" option under Edit > Preferences > General > Show Messages.This seemed like an odd 'fix' to me, but it actually worked! (Briefly).Doing both those items worked and allowed me to drag files into Photoshop again, however, upon restarting my P

Is it possible for me to check if anyone has downloaded a file from my Adobe Cloud using the link I provided?

Hello all, My team is hoping to make a fillable PDF that can be filled twice; once by the initial user, who then saves their version, and again by a second user, who adds to the first user's version. We have made fillable PDFs that can be edited by an initial user -- using the Prepare Form tool on Adobe Acrobat -- but are having trouble keeping fillable fields intact for a second user. Check box fields and radio dials are lost after the first save. How do we keep the same fillable entries, so that the second user does not have to manually enter text boxes, and signature spaces?  Attached are examples from a patient packet which we are hoping to digitize, as they are currently printed and filled out by hand. You will see that Version A, which the patient fills out, is blank with fillable entries intact. Version B, however, does not leave the fillable entries open, which presents difficulties for the clinician hoping to complete the remainer of the forms. Thank y

Hi, Is there a way to replace an image sequence in duplicate comp without changing it in the original comp? I have a comp with a image seqeunce setup which is used in a certain structure/setup. I would like make a duplicate to maintain this structure/setup but replace the image sequence for another sequence. When I replace the sequence now in the duplicate comp, it also replaces in the org comp.  

I have been using Calibre to create and design reflowable ePubs from PDFs. My process has been to convert the PDF into an ePub file and then reformatting the ePub for widespread use across various devices. I have heard that some ebook designers use Indesign to create and design their ebooks. However, a quick Google search tells me that they only use Indesign for fixed-format ePubs, not for reflowable ePubs. Is all of this true? Should I invest in an Indesign subscription or stick with Calibre? What are some things Indesign can do that 1) Calibre cannot do and 2) would be helpful to me as an ebook designer?

I have been asked to turn this jpeg into a layered psd file that would allow us to quickly and easily change out the 4 photos inside the puzzle pieces each week.  I am pretty familiar with the basics of photoshop but I'm not sure how to create a psd file (or smart objects?) so that we can just copy/paste the 4 new photos into the file each week and have them look like this?  Can someone provide the steps for this process?   Thank you!!

Perspective crop tool. In Photoshop CC. Applying desired adjustments causes the image to "disappear" That is it becomes a 1x1 pixel image. Have I got a setting wrong? Any suggestions?

I have illustrator only on my iPad at the moment, and have successfully licensed and opened and used previous Stock images on illustrator for iPad, and can still open those files on illustrator for iPad. I last opened a newly licensed imaige that way maybe a month ago I would guess. However, now I can't open the images that I have newly licensed in the last week or so. I've downloaded them multiple times and tried multiple ways of opening them in illustrator for iPad, but it just says "can't open file". This is two different licensed images so far, but as mentioned I can open old licensed images. What could be the issue?

I may be expecting InDesign to do something it isn't designed to do but, as with Illustrator & Photoshop, I expect to be able to see a checkerboard where there is transparency & I can't figure out how to show that.   Is that an option?

Greetings! I am very happy to see the 3D aspect of AE! I have been thinking about subscribing to the full version of Cinema4d. But I have a question about AE. Will or does AE 3D have the ability to render photo realistic animations. As a animation hobbyist I love doing "spacesci-fi scenes" with ships, space background, planets etc... OF course Cinema4D handles that many optional renderers. But Does AE render out with similiar level of realism? Similiar to RedShift or even the built in Physical Render in Cinema4D ?  Thanks for your help on this ! "Live Long and Render Fast" 

Hello, yesterday I just updated the After Effects because the new  "Create Nulls from Paths"  tool would help me to do what I was doing. And helped!So I worked for 6 hours, saving versions, with the autosave on, and everything was doing ok. Than in a moment a saved the project and closed the software to do another thing. When I tried to open the project again, it started to open, i could see the project window filling with my footages, but when it finished After Effects crashed. And it happened with all the versions and autosaves since I used the new "Create Nulls from Paths" tool.I tried to import a project to another, tried to open in another computer and nothing, i just lost my projects and my work. The only projects that still opening is before the after effects update, in other words before I used the create nulls from path.I thought that was a  incompatibility with the "Omino Snake" plugin that i'm using in the project. So yesterday i did a test: i opened the cc201

I need to access Illustrator. When I click to open Illustrator, edit an Illustrator file, or open Adobe Creative cloud, I got error messages telling me to reinstall the software. When I go to my system settings and select uninstall for Illustrator or the Adobe Cloud, the same message appears. I have tried re-downloading which is the only thing I can do successfully. When it downloads successfully, it automatically closes out the app and nothing happens afterwards. I have a time sensitive project and I've already spent my whole work day trying to troubleshoot this issue. I uploaded the error messages I received and to reinterate: the same 2 messages appear when I try to open any Adobe app, including the Adobe Creative Suite and I get the same message when I attempt to uninstall any Adobe app.

Hello, I have had Indesign 2023 , and just formatted my computer. When reinstalling from the creative cloud I have now the latest version which is nothing like the 2023. I really don't like this new version and find it is not user friendly. I tried installing an earlier version but the earliest was 19.0 and it was exactly the same. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

Hi there!I have a problem where After Effects keep switching to Mercury Software Only by itself without me switching it. Yes, I'm always using Mercury GPU Acceleration (CUDA). No idea why it does this and it's quite annoying.I tried searching around for solutions but I can't seem to find one or maybe it's just me who's encountering this.Any ways to turn this off? I mean the auto switching. I don't want this option or want this to happen all the time as it slows down my workflow.Thanks in advance!PS: Please see attached for more info or let me know if there are any other information that I should provide to get this fixed.

My client wants to use the Adobe Cloud commenting features to review and make edits for a report im working on. After creating the Share for Review Link with my "Company X"contact and an external group that reviews as well, I would like to now disable the external group's ability to comment. Everyone was told a "Pens down" date for no additional comments for this round so we can make edits and prepare the next draft, but there are people that continue to make comments on it - which is proving complicated to keep trac of now.The only way I see is to UNSHARE the document - but that unshares it with my "CompanyX" contact who needs to see all those comments and make sure I have implimented them. Im sure Im missing something simple because if I cant keep people from commenting this is going to turn into a nightmare.

I have forgotten my password on the digital signature option in the "fill and sign" section of Acrobat. does anyone know how to recover and/or change it?

I use Inches as my "General" unit of measure, but in the new 2018 version (running under Win 7), it doesn't stick.I'm pretty sure all my other preference settings are sticking...it's just Units that won't take. On every launch or New Document, it reverts to Points.I've tried all the combinations, (prefs dump/reset, close/relaunch, reboot, set with document/no document open, set at the rulers, etc., etc,. etc.), I can think of short of uninstall/reinstall...Anyone else see this?

both last night for a few moments, while today for about an hour maybe more even at this time online I can't access the page of firefly's image creations, videos and more because
