Almost a year to the day since I last posted, I'm needing to generate a book. LRC Books still generates only PDF, JPEG or Blurb.   InDesign has a way to import a multipage PDF that seems to get me into the ball park!   Have to match the dimensions and think about bleed....   https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/place-a-multipage-pdf-in-indesign/td-p/11343293 ...

LRC 14.0.1 on Sonoma 14.7.1 ... View more

I've attempted to use the feature to remove people from group shots where people are the primary subject.   The process seems to generate weird looking people. Have tried the Remove and Healing tools.   The process doesn't seem to prioritise substituting the selection area for a part of the background, rather it opts for adding somebody that is potentially part of the group. Definitely not my intention - I don't need to add people.   ... View more

Download = from camera to computer. Yes, I really mean import.   I guess I was thinking that it couldn't be upload since you don't push images from LRC up to your camera, so the logical inverse is download. But import makes more sense 😀   My manual back up solution is to drag my Lightroom folder structure which is an external thunderbolt drive to a NAS. That's manual. Time machine doesn't back up external drives to other external drives by default.   I never went to the cloud for photo storage. It's a large amount of data and when I first started we didn't have incredible internet speeds (we still don't). I also don't like my photos being stored on unencrypted servers or have any chance of being used to train machine learning models. ... View more

Thanks for the reminder that community helps reduce the friction of change. There's no such thing as frictionelss change. Change is constant (maybe more an increasing variable) and super exciting to be immersed in. Keep adapting! ... View more

Thanks for that list - helps the search.    I help out micro businesses and the dilemma has been that many don't do a lot of content updates and they've signed up to the major web-based web site builders. They are shelling out monthly fees and are barely using any of the services. I'm trying to find a tool does have one off payments so that I can keep my costs fixed to help these smaller clients.   Previewing responsive, UI reuse, ability to connect with code, version control are important features. For these clients, I need fast implementation to deliver good UX design. But if I need to connect to code, it shouldn't be a hassle. Ideally, if it did integrate with LightRoom Classic and my Creative Cloud Libraries that would be so much better. Not sure if there's an API for third parties to integrate with but that would enhance productivity. (Hmmm Will that come under some interoperability criteria that the EU is pursuing?)   I've spent a week in WordPress and don't feel super productive. To try and integrate a PHP/SQL back end isn't super obvious against all the available plug-ins and navigating all the Update to Pro buttons littered throughout the experience. In 6.4 it seems that they are still transition between the old and new interface experience. Templates and patterns are almost there but they aren't universally interchangable it seems.  I've spent a significant amount of  time reading how-tos compared to focusing on design and content issues. Sure there's a learning curve. But if I compare my first experience with Muse, you felt more productive earlier. And yes, the web world has moved on.   It's disappointing that Adobe sees no opportunity to also support web design and development. I originally signed up to subscription because I had UX tools through to web tools (XD, DW, Muse) - but in my App Dev work and photographic work I could leverage PS, AI and LrC.   I spend a heap of time in Xcode so I know what it's like to have an IDE that covers visual layout through to code and UI testing. I prefer a desktop solution so I know where all my files are and can access them when I'm not networked.    I use Visual Studio but I still see it as just a code IDE. It didn't seem to deliver on the visual simulation.   From the list I think that distills it down to Nova and Pinegrow are the things I need to check out.   I'm searching for tools that help me become productive and don't place barriers in the way. I'd really prefer not having to relearn a whole new interface every couple of years. I have to maintain client sites over many years. I lose out when the content stays the same but I have to migrate the tools.   ... View more

Muse no longer works. It seems that they "disconnected" TypeKit and somehow that made the app permanently crash. It was a quick tool to pull together responsive sites at the time. I used it when I had to do sites of a couple of pages. DW was used for projects that involved more code integration or you cared about the quality of CSS.   I too can confirm that it works on 14.7. I'm more concerned about the upgrade to macOS 15. Adobe don't have an official position for Dreamweaver. ... View more

The import flickering is still here in 13.5.1 ... View more

I was looking for the opposite of Reveal All too.    The changing of the Canvas Size seems to be more of a side effect than a feature. It's not expected or intuitive to change the canvas dimensions.   However, it is in the same group under the Edit menu. (not that I initially noticed based on a search via Help).   Perhaps the function or naming that we are looking for is Display Overbleed. It shouldn't change the Canvas dimension. But that would probably be a function that is under the View menu, rather than the Edit menu.   New Artboard creates a bit of a mess to start off with. It changes what is visble with respect to layering and transparency. Don't have time to fix this. Thank goodness for undo via History.   The scenario in my case is that I'm working with artwork designed by somebody else and I'm cleaning up graphics where there is content outside the canvas that is displaying in a downstream process. I definitely don't want to change the size or aspect ratio of the artwork. There is only the original default artboard.   ... View more

I believe I see this behaviour with the Suspected Duplicates checkbox (currently) enabled. I'll check again on next import. ... View more

Does selecting it under Files vs Devices make a difference to the way that the source is "remembered"?   When I've uploaded images via a card reader, if I've not erased those images and put the card back into the camera LRC then thinks that the images are different and says that they are New Images (clearly no checksumming in place to assess quick duplicates). ...

Thanks for pointing out #7   Surprising that the level of Acrobat Pro restrictions is not fine-grained to just allow changing commenting only. The allowed list under document security doesn't suggest any form of grouping.   Commenting, filling in form fields and signing existing signature fields are all lumped together as one option in the pop up menu.   I can imagine somebody saying that they won't enable commenting because it enables other things....    Maybe at an API level in an upstream tool you can just enabled commenting.  ...

The tool bar seems to suggest editability by the "absence" of other tools. Not a great source of feedback if you only use Acrobat a couple of times per month. ... View more

It was all stamps.    Just figured out what's going on. First the first time, one of the PDFs was sent as secured. Which means can't be modified.   So what this reveals about Acrobat usability in this scenario is:   The feedback about the document being secured is located in the top tab Tabs are typically always truncated, despite in this case only one file being opened - there's really no need to truncate unless there are many more files Hovering over the file name in the tab only *sometimes* reveals the "secured" label - just tried again and could not reveal it There doesn't seem to be any other place that shows a security lock, so there is minimal feedback The stamp tool isn't smart enough to reveal that this document isn't editable, the stamp tool should be disabled or give better feedback about the document security. Other edit workflows keep asking for password entry. Defaulting to being a bounding box isn't helpful - it should do nothing and update the cursor to give the right feedback Suggests a new feature to embed a secure PDF within a stamped PDF. I've been legitimately sent a secure document that I do need to annotate for my filing purposes -  but in no way modify - I should be able to create my own version that retains the orignal document but just adds a layer for my stamp. (to get around this I'll probably convert it to an image and bring it back as a PDF - a slight waste of my time)   ... View more

It happened again about 3 weeks ago. Which probably means the bug is still in 13.6 (latest).   I do have a movie but not easily uploaded here.    This shot is midway through so the grid is not populated, its only uploading to the first position in the grid index. No thumbnail preview shows. At the end it updates the full grid.   ... View more

I'm just catching up wth the "maintenance mode" news too.    Muse Dreamweaver XD   There's a pattern. Three of the reasons why I originally opted in to Creative Cloud. The web dev world has moved on and it seems Adobe isn't taking their customers anywhere near there.  ... View more

I'm seeing better performance with LRC 13.2 after upgrading to the latest Sonoma (from Ventura).   Still seeing that images on the same card loaded either from the camera via cable or via a card reader are not regarded as the same image. So the same images look like new images to import. I would have thought they are duplicates. ... View more

Jusr recorded video of the flickering. But observed difference between different cameras. This is 13.1 since there were 13.2 issues so I downgraded in the hope things would go away. I'll repeat again in coming days after I update to do comparisons.    R5 does the flickering of the first position in the image grid - so it looks like only one image is being added. Wait a while and the image grid updates.    R5C started but then seemed to time out and go to sleep whilst connected. So I had to resort to loading from a card reader. ... View more
