I'm gonna keep it real here and say fat chance. Adobe won't even update the built-in Export feature. You'll have to modify the script, workaround or not, Just be happy you have that option instead of nonthing. ... Mostrar más

You can't do what you want with scripting. ... Mostrar más

Adobe made significant changes to the Output module and PDF module between Bridge 12 and Bridge 14. All I can recommend is to experiment. ... Mostrar más

There are a number of different video codecs and Bridge (and Windows) does not support them all. You may need to change the settings on your phone or convert the files with an app like Handbrake to make them compatible. ... Mostrar más

The above has nothing to do with either Windows or Dropbox. Adobe apps do not work correctly with Dropbox. Period. You risk data loss by trying to mix them. ... Mostrar más

Export does not have the same features, that's the reason SfW is still around. ... Mostrar más

Using the command prompt on Windows is a PITA, you get the ugly command window. So I have a workaround where I write a temp file and execute it with Powershell to run commands silently. This may be a collision between the $ used in EXIFTool and the command run via VBS. Does your command work in a command window? I'm not a Windows user unless I'm forced to be so this is all just painful for me 😕 ... Mostrar más

I frequently drag layers between same-size images. If one is at 50% and the other 66%, the dragged layer won't align to the edges but with both at 50%, it will. ... Mostrar más

Hold down command/control key when running it. I need to update the code a bit, it works on Bridge 12 as-is but not Bridge 13+. ... Mostrar más

"When you drag and drop from within Photoshop, it's a regular copy/paste with normal pixel-to-pixel alignment." There is a bug when dragging layers from one document to another, if zoom levels are different, where they don't align. I reported it and it popped up again with another user reporting. ...

Color numbers are absolute. But the way those numbers look onscreen or print can change, based on colorspace and device (monitor or printer) rendering. The whole purpose of color management is to make sure that everything in the chain has a valid, accurate profile so colors are accurate regardless of device, again within limitations (a printer or monitor might not be able to reproduce a specific color.) ...

But then, of course, trying to do anything with the folder of exported images was impossible. Every action was glacial, I had to select menu items several times before they worked, scrolling was impossible, Bridge 15 was just unusable and I had to go back to Bridge 12. :sigh: Baby steps. Barely.   ... Mostrar más

Yes there are inconsistencies. I doubt that Adobe is going to revise this, just saying. ... Mostrar más

Photoshop has options to transform when placing and to create a smart object. Both are helpful if you do this often. I've been using Photoshop since version 2.5 and have never had any problems with this so I dunno... ... Mostrar más

Most inexpensive Windows laptops will have a lousy display, slow video card, and cheap build quality. Check out some buying guides and reviews, but Bojan nailed the basics. https://petapixel.com/best-computers-for-photo-editing/ Video card RAM Storage Processor   ... Mostrar más

Under $1000? Something used so you don't waste your money. Adobe is heavily leaning on the video cards now, 16GB of RAM is marginal, and you would end up with something that can't run Adobe apps in a couple of years. Having said that, I bought an M1 Mac mini refurbished for $800 and its holding up nicely. ... Mostrar más

If you read through these forums, you'll find dozens of "essential features" that someone wants, most of which I personally would never use. Photoshop is already bloated and hard to learn, dumping more and more and more in isn't improving the experience IMHO. Professional tools usually allow extension via scripts and plugins. This is expected, pro users can customize things to their liking. Adobe apps are one good example, Microsoft Office is another example where the sky is the limit to customizing via scripts and plugins. ... Mostrar más

Adobe has now clarified, Lightroom Classic is compatible. OP, you are likely seeing cloud sync problems. Look for other threads on this issue. https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/macos-sequoia-compatibility-common-issues.html ... Mostrar más

Right now its a weird horse race with no clear winner. Google, Apple, Adobe, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, and a few others are the big players and everyone has their own interests to protect. That's probably why most web developers still just go with JPEG and PNG. I'd LOVE to see good native support for all of these but you know, money and politics... ... Mostrar más

Well then some tools and options won't work. If you are talking about the Topaz suite, eventually it probably won't work at all. ... Mostrar más

High Pass has been pretty much replaced in the last ten years by Frequency Separation for sharpening, its a MUCH better solution. (do a search for "high pass sucks") https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/frequency-separation.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lrv6Y4_UDaU   ... Mostrar más

Apple will be announcing new computers around late Oct-early Nov timeframe. I'd wait until then to buy one.   Apple refurbs are also a good deal. https://www.apple.com/shop/refurbished/mac   For most people, a MacBook Pro or Mac Studio would be best suited to heavy Photoshop use. Be sure to budget for a quality (probably wide-gamut) external display, hardware calibrator, and external SSDs for storage.   You'll want at least 32GB of RAM, preferebly 64GB. Storage is less important, 512GB or 1TB should be ok. An M2/M3 or the upcoming M4 chips are fine, get a Pro or Max variant instead of the base chip.   There are LOADS of reviews online, you'll want to look at those as well. ... Mostrar más

You've missed all of the lengthy discussion around Export, web formats, Adobe development, etc. People aren't "moving away from Adobe." Just look at their financials - huge profits. :eyeroll: ... Mostrar más

Base64 is not a format. Its a legacy way to encode binary files so they can be sent via Internet gateways as plain text (along with uuencode and MacBinary.) https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Base64 You should use an encoding tool or script, Base64 is actually available natively on both Mac and Windows. Below is a sample Bridge script (several years old, not tested on Windows 11 or macOS Sonoma/Sequoia) that demos how to use Base64 coding and decoding. Just so you are aware what is possible. /* Utility Pack Scripts created by David M.
