As others have said,  CS5 and CS6 versions are not compatible with High Sierra.  I know you don't want to pay the monthly fee,  but really the CC version of InDesign is worth it, as it will constantly be upgraded to the newest version.  Though as Derek said,  you can subscribe to the Monthly subscription instead of the annual,  though both of them have a monthly fee and the "monthly" one is slightly more,  you're not required to keep it for a year so you can suspend it when you're not using it. ...

Hmmmm...Try bringing those fonts to the new folder,  see if that connects.  It almost sounds like a links issue,  like when I move just the InDesign file to a different folder, without any of the linked images or files.  ... View more

A lot of times, the texture is going to repeat itself, creating a pattern.  I wish there was a way to make things more random.  Are you using a tablet w/ a stylus at all?  If so,  you might be able to avoid it looking too much like a pattern by tweaking the texture in the settings to work with stylus tilt or pen pressure that might create some variation. I could be entirely wrong though.  Someone with more knowledge in brush making might help more.  ... View more

Then you're definitely going to have to duplicate the layer and isolate the linework because with the graphite being so light, its going to be very difficult to make it pure black.  I wasn't sure how dark it was because of how vast the range can be with graphite ... View more

If you are using graphite and cream colored paper,  its going to be pretty difficult to get "black" blacks, no matter how much you tweak levels, its still going to be using other colors.  The only thing I can think of aside from changing the colorspace to grayscale (which would defeat the purpose of doing the drawing on cream colored paper, unless you want it all in B&W) is to isolate the linework by duplicating the layer with the drawing,  using Select>Color Range, have it set to selected color and use the eye dropper to pick the color of the paper, which would select all of that color,  delete that,  then you're just left with the linework,  then you could tweak that, by like lowering the saturation and playing around with the lightness and stuff like that.  But its highly destructive since you're deleting elements, albeit on a secondary layer.  But even so,  like I said, without going into grayscale,  its still going to have other colors incorporated and not going to be pure black ...

Depends on what DPI you're working with and what your printing needs are.  I tend to work smaller, but with much higher DPI,  then scale things afterwards (i.e. working on a 24"x36' poster, originally as a 12"x18" size at 600 dpi, but then dropping the DPI to 300, which changes the size to 24"x 36" because when I'm printing, anything over 300dpi is kind of pointless) But that's just me trying to find ways to avoid any lag ...

I'm sorry you're still having issues.  I heard a lot of horror stories about how Wacom Drivers not wanting to play nice with Windows and Photoshop.  I wish I could be of more help, but its been years since I worked on a Windows device, so I'm a bit lost as to the way they run now. ... View more

I had a problem with blank dialog boxes a long time ago, when I had my Cintiq.  It was shortly after Mavericks came out.  I had to update my driver at the time and do something with Coverflow text (I forgot what, it was years ago)  But, as Sahil mentioned,  if you're doing multiple screens it could be on the other screen somewhere ...

I am in no way threatening you.  I'm just saying that if your topic got locked out and you start another discussion asking why you got locked out,  its probably going to result in it getting locked out again.    I do have a question,  have you asked Kyle about the brushes directly?  He's on twitter and he's really good about answering questions about his brushes.  Why don't you ask him.  He might be able to help you. ...

As what the other ACPs have said,  you definitely need more free space to get it to work properly.  Its the  same with installing any large program or operating system.  You need the extra space free to it has the space to install the newer version.   Its the same whenever I had less storage on my iPhone and it was nearly maxed out and I needed to install the newest version of iOS.  I had to offload things off of it to free up space on my device to download and install. a lot of that extra space was freed up once it was fully installed.  But, you need to take that in account.  Its not Adobe's fault.  As apps become more developed,  they're obviously going to take up more data space. ...

I never heard of that tablet before.  Looks promising.  I'll have to look into it a bit.  Also you can't go wrong with Wacom.  I've never had a chance to try the Mobile Studio Pro or the Cintiq companions since they were out of my price range,  I loved my Cintiq 13HD.  My personal preference right now is my iPad Pro using Astropad.  Mainly because I'm in love with the pencil.  For some reason, it took forever to get comfortable with the Wacon styluses,  it would easily cramp my hand up.  Not so much with the Apple Pencil.  It fits the same as my Lead Holders I use when I work analog,  so its not a huge change when I go to digital...that and it seems to handle tilt a lot better than any of the Wacom styluses I've used.  But its all a matter of preference.  ...

Not entirely sure, I haven't worked with a lot of layer specific actions.   In my experience, trying to set an action regarding the layer, the action tends to go back to the layer I was working on when I made the action.  Maybe I was doing something wrong.  I don't use a lot of Actions, except quick ways to create effects or to change the colorspace to levels that I need for printing in certain publications.  Sorry, I couldn't really help. ...
