I've been seeing this advertisement on youtube for Adobe Photoshop and I love the song in it. But I can't find the ad itself or anyone else asking about it. It's only a 15 second ad and show a woman working on an iPad erasing the borders from a dancer with a stylus, then a man working on a PC making some sort of collage with blue letters turned vertically. The song is a guitar riff with a beat and high-hat that kicks in mid-way.I appreciate anyone who can help!

I wanted to inform Adobe and the community of a very elaborate Adobe software counterfeiting I continue seeing on eBay. While the items being sold may appear to be legit to unknowing buyers, upon further inspection you can see that the software being sold are merely copies. In short, every Adobe item being sold by eBay user sturbridge-lakes is counterfeit. Here is a current list of active listings by the user:https://www.ebay.com/sch/sturbridge-lakes/m.html?item=194171348816 This user is selling multiple counterfeit copies of Adobe products, mainly focusing on Adobe Photoshop 6.0, Adobe Photoshop 7.0, Adobe Photoshop CS4, Adobe Photoshop CS5, and Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard. The first tell-tale sign is the fact that the user does not provide the original packaging for the software. Even though the item listing will sometimes show a product box in the photo, the listing description will say it is for disc and serial number only, such as this current listing for Adobe Ph

Hi. I am an old gent who bought software in the 80s. I have been the voluntary Librarian for my county archaeological society for many years. I have the book catalogue (2500+ items) on early Paradox . This only prints to LPT1 direct to the printer (an old HPG55 in this case) OR into a file. I have written a program which resolves the coding in the database and produced the print commands. Previously I have printed out 60+ A4 pages, scanned to .jpg and converted to .pdf. A big job. QUESTION. Do you have, in your back catalogue perhaps, or know of, a program that will read the file, the HP language convert the escape codes etc and prepare the text into any modern format eg. Microsoft or OpenOffice document or better still a .pdf directly? OR into any intermediate step along the way. (eg. dBase). That would be a great help to me, please help of you can.. Thanks.

Welcome to the new Fourm Lounge where we can let down our hair and chat as designers and developers, peers. I'm Pariah Burke, your unofficial guide through this newly rechristened conversation space. Feel free to post anything in this forum you'd like to talk about with other creatives and programmers, anything that isn't "this broke" or "how do I make Application X do that".Pull up a chair, pour yourself a glass of wine, a mug of stout, or cup of tea, and let's talk.I'll get the ball rolling by asking a question:What is the next application Adobe should make? Looking at all the applications in Creative Cloud (and beyond), what do you think is missing? What need do you see that Adobe could fill?

[Moderator moved from Creative Cloud Services to The Lounge.]   Hi everybody I'm Isabella and as a university exam, I have to analyze the brand strategies of Adobe Systems. Now, I'm not sure that this is the right place to ask this but maybe someone could give me a hand. I'm looking for the main Co-brandings that Adobe has made in its history ( just to explain... a Co-branding is a marketing strategy that utilizes multiple brand names on a good or service as part of a strategic alliance ).    

By now everyone is familiar with the "Nigerian letter" or "upfront fee" scam that goes something like this:  Someone contacts you from overseas offering you a share in a large sum of money on the condition you help them transfer money out of their country.  While these scams originated in Nigeria, they now come from all over the world.   This latest version has a new twist.  My business was contacted by one of these yesterday.     Someone contacts your business by phone or e-mail from overseas offering to place a large order for goods.  The scammer requests that the goods be shipped overseas and the price plus freight charges billed to credit cards (sometimes more than one).  The scammer INSISTS that the business use a particular shipping company and provides a phony email address for the shipper.  The business then contacts that “shipping company” which requests the freight charges be paid up front by cash wire transfer.  The stin

I am currently using time machine nr.8 to back up, having had to increase my storage over a long time But... I can't  get rid of of the time machine messages  that constantly  te'll me  that :  Time machine 1,2,3, etc can not be found. Please can you help ? 

I don't know what the verdict is because it hasn't been publicly read yet.  But I think it's a safe bet that it's not a hung jury -- they've deliberated for only 1 day.  Whichever way this case goes, I hope people don't resort to more violence.   

Does anyone know of good software to do DVD authoring?

I noticed that the power woofer on my TV sound system was not working... after connecting a different woofer and still no woof, I decided that the woofer out circuit in my 8+ year old Onkyo receiver/amplifier was no longer working.I had already checked the setup in the Onkyo, and it was still (properly) set to use a woofer (OK... I know it is really called a sub-woofer).As a last step I checked the setup in the Comcast/Xfinity receiver-DVR... it was showing Stereo, not Dolby 5.1 as I had originally specified, and as soon as I set it back to 5.1 sound my woofer started woofing again.I did a search, and found a comment on a discussion forum that when an update is 'pushed' down the wire, it will **sometimes** make unwanted changes to settings.So my conclusion is that an update changed MY setting from 5.1 sound to Stero... meaning no woof.About as bad as a Windows update meaning the need to go to the vendor site and download a video driver update

Thanks for all the functions of PDF and photography apps. R.I.P.

Why doesn't Adobe just step up and provide good manuals online and moderate Q and A for users.  The user group contsruct wastes so much time. Inconsistent and/or inaccurate responses to issues that should be simple.  Adobe releases and updates software before it's fully-baked and then lets paying customers fine tune and try to train one-another on how to use it.  

I'm contacting brands I already love and use to see if I can have a quick 10 to 15 minute phone call or video call just to ask a few questions related to brand deals and sponsorship deals. I'm a growing influencer/entertainer and just want to be prepared for the future when I do approach brands for deals. I was told on the phone to post this here so hopefully, the right person sees it and can respond. I appreciate it very much!

Hello, who can I email about sponsorship opportunities? Thank you.

I've been wondering this for a while, but I am sure theres a way that Adobe could integrate blockchain/tokenization to its products.  Possibly with a new app which makes it easy for artists and creators to immediately make an NFT for their output, or an 'Adobe Coin' which could be used for fast access to upgrades etc?

I just came across a great blogpost on Adobe https://blog.adobe.com/en/2017/11/07/simple-tips-to-improve-user-testing.html#gs.y9jq6qI work for a remote usability testing platform and think we could add a lot of value to the article.Does Adobe accept sponsored link insertions in relatable articles? Who can I contact?

Hi, Everyone -Here's a great blog post that I thought many of you instructors and trainers would find interesting Real-World Experience Develops Real-World Skills | Adobe .  A definite plug for the value of project based learning.Best,Rani

Just seen on his blog, that John Nack is coming back to Adobe after working at Google for the last few years.  His blog was the first thing I clicked on when I sat down at my computer in the morning because he always managed to find interesting content to tell us about.  I especially liked the illustration content he was able to track down.  If you have never seen John's blog, I have a feeling that the sort of people who use this forum will enjoy browsing through his old posts.   Good luck John and welcome back to Adobe.

Hi. I'm a graphic designer for over 20 years but really need to step up my skills to incorporate more digital design. Anyone know where I can find a mentor or advice on what training is necessary these days? Recommendations for courses, programs, etc. are welcome! Thanks.

02/24/21 - Adobe has joined other big-tech companies in the creation of the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA) the goal of which is to create tools which will address 'disinformation' online. Unless 'disinformation' is defined and governed by the people, then these tools are aimed at providing the few the ability to censor any dissenting opinion, programmatically. Explained as a long term scalable, ecosystem-wide solution to provenance-based media authenticity, C2PA had used it's artistic expression to create elegant marketing parlance to mask technology that will reveal the EXACT path of transmission of 'assets' deemed unsuitable. This portends consequences to those whose content is not determined to be of "high-integrity." At first blush this sounds as though they are working to ensure protection of asset copyrights, but read further and BG clarifies the aim of this coalition. As artists (and in the famous words of Jeffrey Lewbowski) 'this cannot stand
