I just upgraded my computer to a used iMac M1, and wondering if my purchased copy of Premier Elements 15 will function properly. I wasn't able to locate a compatability chart. Thank you. ... View more

I've notice this effect in pics using either my Nikon D500 or Z6 with a Z50mm 1.8 S lens. My images are all recorded raw, and with whatever negliable sharpening Nikon applies to raw files. I can feed the raw file into Nikon NX Studio or Adobe Camera Raw and then PS but, regardless of the workflow... the same unwanted shadowing appears.    This appears before I apply any sharpening in the apps.   The transition area that is out-of-focus acquires a slight darkening border of sorts. I've adjusted various lens correction sliders in all apps to no effect. So, I don't know if it this issue is chromatic aberration or something else.   In the past I've made selections of the troublesome areas and cloned in tones from similar areas. The end result doesn't always work, and seems like a crude hack anyway. In the attached detail pics, the issue may not appear objectionable, but it is in viewing the entire image as a whole.   Any ideas? I use the latest MACOS on a iMac24, and PS 26.2.0 ... View more

I am designing a circular object where uppercase text appears around the top edge of the object. Imagine the lid of a jar from a bird's eye view.   In order to avoid having the text appear flat, I want the top edge of all text to bend down just a little, as if beginning to wrap downward to the side of the circular shape... just a tiny bit of warping. It would be a subtle touch to help establish dimension and realism.   I can’t figure out how to do this with an expanded circular text object. Any ideas? ... View more

Hi everyone,   Working on an Illustrator document that contains some 300 words, the text fill color is set to light gray. I designed the piece so that some of the characters are filled with a different fill color in order to make a large shape within the arrangement of words. I made the mistake of not assigning a global color.   Is there a way to select all occurrences of a text fill color, and then replace with a different color, globally? All text is on the same layer.     Thoughts? ... View more

I have seen this expanding radial element in many designs, but I don't know what is called so that I can search for a tutorial.  What is it, or better yet... kindly direct me a tutorial. Thanks.     ... View more

Been awhile since I used AE (2020) and getting things confused with other programs. Just completed a reinstall of AE 2020 via Adobe chat assist.   I'm at the beginning stage of laying out simple text, no special effects at this point, no 3D, and using the Standard Workspace.   I have 2 layers. One where an intial phrase appears, then a few seconds later where more text completes the sentence.     ISSUE: When I press the spacebar to preview things, a smaller pop-up monitor appears to the right, and bottom of the Composition Panel, and I cannot see much of the playback. This hasn't happened in earlier projects with the same app version and system (iMac Catalina).   In the past, the preview took place front-and-center, in the Composition Panel. I am overlooking a setting somewhere, but where? Thanks.               ... View more

I came across this illustration published in the Washington Post about 1 year ago, and am intrigued by the complexity of the overlapping arrows. I've had no success in reproducing it with my intermediate skillset using shapebuilder. Using the scissor tool is a bit tedious, and requires some finessing.    Is this something drawn with pen and paper, or can it be done in Illustrator? Suggestions?
