you could stick to giving technical advice. I didn't ask you to coach my life choices. I expressed that I don't like turse messages from software that I pay for. I don't like turse replies that were not asked for either. You could stick to giving help rather than telling poeople off! You are representing Adobe, like it or not. I for one think your replies makes Adobe look bad! I resent it. I don't epxect you to tell me what decisions to make with my life thanks! ... View more

I agree. This grumpy, rude message is really out of order. I resent being told off by software that I'm paying for. It's well out of order!!!!  ... View more

You really are the inflamatry one aren't you. Why have I annoyed you so much you feel you have to attack me? I'm just a random person that felt frustrated with the tools I've been using for 23 years with no improvement to the one feature I use all the time. You know creative people outside of computing can just make the tools they need. I know I don't have to use Adobe. I'd have thought this 'well sod off' attitude wouldn't be the kind of help people can expect from someone ranked as an expert. You are expert at not being understanding and actually helpful for use. You are an expert at taking everything personally. You are an expert at inflaming people that are simply wanting to give feedback to the people whose software I've been paying for for 23 yeears. Is this really all I can expect for 23 years of paying for a service? Abuse and 'if you don't like it sod off'? Charming. Very worthy of your expert ranking. You know, I can't say my 'r's so for an English person my use of 'ranking' has a very apt sound meaning for someone so spiteful and aggressive. As a small business owner I actually appreciate the feedback my customers give me especially when it's a criticism. It's by listening to my customers complaints that has made me a better business owner. If I just told all my customers to go away if you don't like it, you don't have to come to me if you don't like it, I wouldn't be in business at all. Somehow I don't think you are deserving of the status you obviously give yourself. You are certainly not helpful. You are certainly not understaning. You are certainly not appreciated or wanted by this questioner. You have done nothing but cause me a headache. Please, stop replying. You are NOT helping.  ... View more

yeah, why waste effort on people that haven't got programming skills. You know the majority of artists. It might surprise you to know that people that developed as creative, free thinking artists don't spend a lot of time learning about rigid scripting languages. You are an expert at trying to put people down rather than genuinely trying to help. Not everyone has that rigid, narrow thinking of of mathematics and scripting where meaning has to be pinned down to one thing and one thing only. Some of use artists where possibilities for new and surprising things are at your fingertips all day everyday. We don't want to be put into a tiny box where X has to equal  Y+n for ever and a day, where Y has a strict definition that isn't free to change and evolve. Some of us would rather spend our time creating rather than putting others in their place. I didn't reply to you because I thought you weren't very kind of understanding of the issue I had. I din't reply to you because you basically said, it isn't because it isn't. Why bother. I didn't reply to your edit because as surprising as it obviously is to you I didn't learning scripting because I'm an artist, I only use photoshop now because the oil pants I used to use made too much mess and the fumes damaged my health. I'm sorry this makes me a lesser person in your eyes but, your unkind were not worth a reply. I really don't know why my question made you so angry. You didn't have to reply. Maybe if you focused more an actually helping people rather than improving your rank at Adobe you'd have more appreciation.   ... View more

sorry for the typos, Adobe has tarred everyone with the same brush, not pun intended, ie. assumed everyone is corrupt and blocked the edit function for anyone except the 'sepcial' few deamed worthy enough. God forbid they should deal with those individuals that have 'abused' the function and maybe addressed the reasons why people feel they need to 'abuse' the function. No, people get treated like cattle as usual. Yes, 'cattle' meaning property, something just to be used an exploited. The users of these apps are the ones that pay the wages of Adobe staff afterall, god forbid you should treat them accordingly.  ... View more

I'll give this the answer I think it should have had. Sorry Jim, Adobe, hasn't realised after 33 years that 2D artists use the Brush tool more than any other tool. Adobe introduced Blending Modes which are great but, doesn't understand that 2D artists will want to take advantage of those Blending Modes when painting, I mean, if you want to select from the Blending Modes rather than guess the colour from the colour palette it would make sense to have that option within the tool you're using. Adobe understands how useful that is in the Stamp tool, Quick Selection tool, Mixer Brush, History Brush, Eraser Tool, Gradient Tool, Blur Tool, Smudge Tool, Sharpen Tool, even introduced this option into the new features of the Healing Brush Tools and I should mention the Eye Dropper tool, I mean it's only an Adobe convention to have that option in Eye Dropper Tool. Adobe could have decided to make selection options a tool in itself that affected everything. There's no reason not to if you aren't going to have it in the Brush tool. I'm really not sure why Adobe doesn't see why having to select the Eye Dropper tool, change the selection mode and then switch back to the Brush tool is a bit frustrating especially if you've found yourself locked in the brush search box and shortcuts are just typing away and doing nothing so you have to hit another key to get yourself out of that box. I probably only use the Eye Dropper tool 99.9% of the time for changing between how the Brush Tool selects. Yeah, the Eye Dropper tool has some useful functions, it's just the one of which that I use the most to change how the Brush tool selects. I can understand why you wouldn't want to waste your time submitting a feature request to Adobe for this, I mean if they haven't listened to how people use Photoshop features in 33 years they probably aren't going to listen to you now. People like me and you that use the Brush tool in Photoshop, you know, for painting, making art, and take advantage of Blending Modes are obviously the tiny minority. Probably not surprising though since having to switch to the Eye Dropper Tool, change the selection mode and back to the Brush tool can get pretty annoying.  Ironic though since the word 'phtoshopped' kind of meant airbrushed for a long time to the 'lay' community.  ...

that's a bit vague and just made me waste a lot of time. Don't worry. I think I'll live without it. ... View more

It says on Github in the readme.   Close your host application. Place Av1Image.8bi in the folder that your host application searches for file format plug-ins. Restart your host application. well, I downloaded the zip file but there is no file inside with that name. I tried just putting the whole unzipped file in my plugins folder but it still didn't work. Half the time I get a link to github I just don't bother because I just never understand what I'm supposed to do with these files. Nothing makes sense! Thanks   ... View more
