Sometimes yes, I want to overwrite a file. Photoshop will confirm that I want to overwrite the file with the same name, and then... write it with a different name without my permission. So there are two defects here: Ignoring my directive to save with the same name, and then prompting to overwrite but not doing so. ... View more

Thanks. I was in Edit mode. Typically a selection arrow will let you select an entire object, but in Acrobat it turns into a text-editing caret if you get anywhere near the next; using that to select and delete text results in a red line through it. So you have to back and select the Text tool in order to delete the entire object; just the opposite of the way most apps function. ... View more

Thanks. Another brilliant Adobe UI. I want to delete the entire text object; not just the characters. Thus, the logical choice is the selection tool. But it turns into a text-editing tool when you hover over the text... so there's no reason you'd assume that you have to use the (apparently redundant) text tool. ... View more

Yes; you have to do that, or you can't add text. Here's the sequence, and what happens when I press Delete. ... View more

That just puts a red line through it. ... View more

The Wacom tablet came out 35 years ago. "Maybe a shaper tool like AI could also be added to Photoshop." Amen. The shape tools in Photoshop are abominable, and inexcusable considering Adobe's ownership of Illustrator. Then again, Illustrator has been abandoned for years. And consider that Premiere can't import AI files. In fact, as far as I know, Premiere doesn't support any vector format... so if you want to zoom into a logo or other artwork, you can't without hideous aliasing. ... View more

You're welcome!  We'll see. Maybe it'll be good. Two simple but huge things Adobe could do to mitigate the storage problem: 1. Integrate a Web browser that allows users to download images (like a normal desktop browser does). 2. Let users connect to shared drives over the local network. I suspect they won't, of course, because they're pushing CC. ... View more

Anything on the iPad (or any iOS device) is hideously crippled by Apple's fear of (and lack of) proper I/O for their mobile devices. "Just upload everything to the cloud" sucks. My computer is RIGHT THERE. I should not have to round-trip giant files through a third-party Internet server. Can we at least do AirDrop (which sometimes works)? Not to mention the utter lameness of the use case shown here: Whoop dee doo, you can download pictures from three places. But not the Web in general. Not shared drives on the LAN. I'm also curious as to how well Photoshop will reject spurious touches from your palm as you're drawing. And finally... this only works on the iPad Pro; which Apple has made even more nearly useless than it already was, by removing the headphone jack. Want to watch a movie on the plane with your companion?  NOPE, says Apple.  That's one more of the very few uses of a tablet eliminated, for no reason. Meanwhile, Apple put a giant trackpad on their laptops but the Pencil doesn't work on them.  That's just stupid. Adobe needs to face the fact that it's time to rewrite its bug-ridden core applications from the ground up, instead of screwing around with mobile toys on a gimped platform. The excuse for the rental model was that we're supposed to get more timely bug fixes and a better product. Still waiting... ... View more

carlseibert  wrote Many/most of the upstart programs are developed by people who don't have clue and they don't offer real value to anybody in particular. What an odd assertion.  Even if you can find a single example of this, I doubt you're going to be able to show that it's generally true.  Why would they start such an enterprise then?  In Affinity's case, I think they do have some passion for the work but they lack some UI design acumen.  Their products are competent and hold a lot of promise, but unfortunately they are reluctant to address some baffling UI design gaffes.  Then again, so is Adobe... at much, much higher prices and a rental model that's pissing people off while not delivering the fixes that were used to excuse it. What is the "standards-compliant metadata" problem you're referring to?  I haven't tried Photo yet, so I'm intrigued by your comment. ... View more

Thanks. I'd never heard of the Shift-Command-Period option before. Typical of Apple to hide this from users and not even expose it in Preferences. Unbelievable. You should try Affinity Photo.  Since Adobe abandoned Illustrator years ago (without fixing profound defects that I can't work with), I switched to Affinity Designer.  I'll probably move to Photo too. ...

Thanks a lot for taking the time to provide that extensive and detailed answer. If your analysis is correct about the ColorSync warning (and I have no reason to believe it isn't), it's an example of how extremely poor writing can ruin a UI and waste customers' time.  As it stands, the dialog appears to refer to some selection of ColorSync outside the printer's settings. "Printer color management" is, according to the Photoshop UI, the only other option besides "Photoshop manages color."  Thus, I had already complied with what the dialog was telling me to do. What the dialog should say is, "The use of ColorSync within printer-driver settings is not recommended."  If that's what it really means, anyway. And WTF, it should only say it once per print, at most! I didn't turn the dialog off, because I actually DO want to be notified if the color settings are non-optimal. But I'm going to have to turn it off. In regard to the greying-out: I pretty much arrived at the conclusion that you've provided. And I understand that vendor-provided driver UIs can be opaque.  Heaven forbid that, 30 years in, an OS have a proper standard for this. By the way, the ColorSync warning will occur even with black-&-white printers whose drivers don't offer ColorSync at all. So really, you just have to turn this dumb dialog off. ... View more

And what are we supposed to do about this: ColorSync is selected, greyed out, and there's no option for "no color management" in the printer driver. ... View more

Still going on. This time it's on a black-&-white laser printer that has no color settings in its driver dialog whatsoever. Ridiculous. ... View more

I don't understand this complaint. How do you "check blindly?" That doesn't make sense. And what exactly changed here? If you deselect the object (by clicking elsewhere, for example), why should the change not be applied? ... View more

Good luck with that. While you're at it, get them to add "Paste as new image" to Photoshop and a proper selection method to Illustrator. ... View more
