Hey everyone,I’m working on a website for a security services company and want to ensure it looks professional, trustworthy, and visually appealing. Since security is all about reliability, I want to use the right colors, fonts, and layouts that give a sense of safety and professionalism.I’ve seen some great examples of security service websites that use clean designs and a professional feel. But I’d love to hear from you all—what design principles or Adobe tools do you recommend for making a security service website stand out?Looking forward to your insights!

The PTI Graphics board will show units that are rented as being empty, or doors open that are closed etc.  I’m having difficulty finding a company to come repair it. 

We currently have a 50 gallon water heater run on natural gas... it works, but there have been a couple times that we've run out of hot water when doing successive showers... so we've decided to have a Rinnai installed like we had at our last house.After going to the Rinnai site https://www.rinnai.us/residential/solution-selector and answering the questions we decided that the maximum number of 'fixtures' we will ever run at one time is 3 and most likely fewer, but we don't want cold water in the shower again (3 fixtures could be dishwasher and clothes washer and the shower... probably not all at the same time, but cold water in the middle of taking a shower is really bad).I am an Army veteran so I get a small discount at Home Depot... as soon as our plumber visits to be sure what we want to do is possible I will place an order... the Rinnai is listed as .98 efficiency so I think we'll even get a deduction on next year's taxes (when we had to replace our DEAD furnace last year we got a

I have great landlords. In exchange for providing me with thousands of dollars worth of cat food and litter over the past eight years for the two cats I “volunteered” to take from them in a moment of weakness, they asked if I might be able to restore this photograph. They own and have restored a number of properties built during the 18 hundreds in my neighborhood (affectionately referred to as The Village) and they wanted to hang this image in one of them. Adobe Photoshop and a variety of AI tools to the rescue.  

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?  

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 know why it is that spotify automatically stops when your microphone has been transmitting for more than 30 seconds. I know it is there to hinder pirating spotify and other stuff. however, it is a bit annoying when i try to share my screen with one other friend, while having spotify playing a bit of music for me in the background. you see, even though nothing from spotify can be heard by the other person, it will still stop spotify after 30 seconds, because showing a screen or window on spotify with sound counts as using a microphone, therefore it stops spotify. It is especially annoying when you are in a private talk with a friend, have both paid for spotify premium and are now using the feature where you can listen to spotify together, but one person has microphone issues and push-to-talk / voice activation doesn't work right, so they have to put their microphone on constand transmitting, which in turn pauses spotify for them, or when they share a game window, sometimes even with m

I’m a web developer running a white-label web development agency, and I’m always looking for innovative ways to integrate design and functionality seamlessly. I know Adobe tools like Photoshop, Illustrator, and Adobe XD are great for design, but I’m curious to know how other developers in this community are using these tools to enhance the user experience and overall functionality of their websites.What Adobe tools do you find most helpful for enhancing the development process?

Hi everyone,I’m interested in learning how other Adobe users choose the right tools for their creative work.Adobe has so many applications for different purposes, from Photoshop and Illustrator to Premiere Pro, After Effects, Lightroom, and more. I’m curious about which application has become the most useful part of your workflow.For me, the most interesting thing is how different people use the same software in completely different ways depending on their projects and experience level.Which Adobe application do you use most often, and what do you mainly use it for?I’d also love to hear about any features or shortcuts that have significantly improved your workflow.

I accidentally crumpled the aluminum foil I was using to bake sliced potatoes, and they didn’t stick at all to the foil on the baking sheet when it was done cooking.I thought I came up with that but then found it is an old hack: https://www.tastingtable.com/2003011/aluminum-foil-hack-nonstick/

Hi everyone,I'm traveling soon and wanted to confirm which terminal Ryanair operates from at Dublin Airport.I've seen different information online, so I'd appreciate confirmation from anyone who has recently flown with Ryanair from Dublin. Does it always depart from the same terminal, or can it vary depending on the destination?Thanks in advance!

Personally, I prefer the grocery store  

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. 🙌

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?

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.

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
