The Lounge

Simply wanted to say hey to all here. It is my 1st message here.It truly seems like the moderators connected with this website certainly do a great job.I want to learn tons of things here also I will help other members as much as I can.

HelloLooking for advice…How are designs agencies making the most from Creative Cloud?I have 8 in my team. We typically use the top 3 Apps [Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign]. Also Animate, Premiere Pro and After Effects.But there are so many other Apps available in our subscription. I would like to know what other agencies are using, and how.Thank you in advance.

We often bash Adobe for having one of the least user-friendly websites around.  I am not arguing that Adobe's site leaves much room for improvement but compared to what I experienced yesterday from my health insurance provider's website, Adobe's site doesn't seem nearly so bad anymore.   Without naming names, I will just say that this is a major health insurance company. So large in fact that my State's Governor put them in charge of distributing ALL Covid vaccines here.  But their website really, really sucks!  So my confidence in them is not running high at the moment.   After a miserable experience trying to enter my primary care doctor's name and a payment method so I could make an online payment, I had to give up.  Nothing I tried worked with any browser from any of my computers.     I decided to complete an online form to give them some feedback about the site, there was a drop-list for selecting my  operating system.  The ch

I'm an art director looking for a CGI artist/studio to create some architectural product images. Anybody know anyone out there?

why do i get this popup everytime I get on my computer : ""PDF suite ATTENTION: Your PDF  Suite upgrade is ready"?  

It is pretty disappointing that there is LITERALLY ZERO support from Adobe on Medium. Great program, too bad they ruined it by buying it. At least Oculus had a forum. This makes me want to cancel my photoshop subscription and switch to gimp, find an alternative to Medium too. 

My website hosts have jacked up the price so I am looking for a new website host. My website includes videos edited in  Premiere Pro .Does Adobe host websites? Any suggestions for best host?Thanks. 

In searching the entire Adobe support community for a general discussion forum, I'm assuming the Lounge is it, so here goes. Correct me if I'm wrong but for one who has been designing/developing Javascript enhanced fillable interactive PDF forms using Acrobat since its debut in 1993, fast forward 20 plus years and while the IRS and State governments have significantly improved their online tax forms in PDF format, they still leave much to be desired. In contrast, I still see the need for properly designed/developed fillable, interactive PDF forms in both the public and private business sectors including but not limited to health care, insurance, building construction, etc. whereby these industries more often than not continue to rely on dinosaur technology such as fax machines and the USPS. In reality, my biggest pet peeve is the time taken to accomplish most common everyday tasks in several or more hours that can realistically be done in a fraction of the time without sacrificing qual

Hello!I wanted to know if it's possible to submit suggestions for Adobe Employees/Vendor worker's e-mail signature? If yes, please let me know where can I submit some ideas. Thank you! 

I found this site today, and was impressed enough to share.  It has surprised me with its revelations. https://thetruesize.com/   The idea, as you will have guessed as soon as you open the link, is to enter a country in the search wind, and drag that country over other countries.   I tried it with NZ and the UK (because I thought I was familiar with their relative sizes, and found that NZ is way bigger than I'd thought.  Tourists are forever under estimating how long it takes to drive place to place here.  As well as the distance, you have windy roads occasionally blocked by a couple of thousand sheep, and one way bridges shared with trains. When COVID is under control enough to allow us to open our borderes (assuming it ever is) give yourself plenty of time so you can actually apreciate the scenery (the cops here put speeding just below murder on their bad things people can do list) and drop me a line if passing though Marlborough so you can drop by for a cu

hi,I am in the middle of adobe cc training all levels. I will take an exam as soon as I finish.But I would like to know how easy/difficult the certification exams are.I would appreciate any response and tip if you have recently pass the exams and certified.thanks

I am looking for some good warm gloves that still allow you to manipulate a DSLR or mirrorless camera, change lenses, etc. in the middle of winter. I live in the Buffalo, NY area, and so the winter temperatures here might get as low as 10 F with wind chills about –15 F in the worst case (and if the temperature got any lower, I'd probably stay home). So what say you? Any recommendations?

New to using Adobe Creative Cloud for community and online learning, just curious, is slow updating a common issue? Adobe Creative Cloud certification site says that Adobe is working to update and release certifications in 2020, but nothing has been updated. 

Hi everyone, I am new and wanted to introduce myself. I am new have absolutely no artist talent and have never used any of the Adobe video or photo programs. I have a simple goal and would love to get some suggestions on where to start. My goal is to build my business by using social media platforms.   I want to create informative videos on some legal topics, they would-be approximately 5 to 10 mins in length with the goal of keeping my firm on the radar of my targeted audience. I would like to be able to make this as easy as possible, but it has to look professional.   I would like to be able to start with a title card, then fade into my video. Make some simple transactions and then fade out to a closing card. I would like to allow people to maybe click on the video and either go to my home page or to a social media account. I would like to be able to use a green screen simply so I can make the background look more professional.   Can I get an idea of which of the Adobe

Not sure if this is the right forum or not. I use CC products for all my work but my new Mac Mini is turning out to be a disaster. I've missed deadlines on projects because of mysterious crashes and hangs and programs that stop responding. I've used Macs all my life but I'm wondering if there is a decent PC alternative? I need to edit 4k videos and do desktop publishing with high res  photos. Should  I  switch? What should I buy? I imagine the programs feel the same no matter what operating system, right? Thanks for any help.

Hi, Im not sure if this is the best forum for this post but here goes.  Im looking to upgrade the hardware on some PCs at work.  We use Acrobat DC a lot to view very detailed architectural plans and to compile our own.  I've found opening and viewing detailed PDFs can be very slow and am not sure whether this is down to the GPU, CPU or RAM or combination of all of them.   I am looking at getting Nvidia Quadro P2200 graphcis cards and bumping up the RAM in each PC to 32gb (currently 16gb) in each PC.  Our current graphics cards are Nvidia GeForce GT1030s and we have 3.2ghz quad core i5 processors. We will shortly be incorporating illustrator, photoshop and indesign into our workflow - nothing too intensive but want to be sure that what I spec will cover us for the future (for Adobe and other software we run). Have gone with P2200 as we use Solidworks and the recommendation is that we use Nvidia Quadro cards to run it.  Can anyone offer s

Hi there, I'm Patrick. I started working with Adobe's software at 1990/1991 with photoshop on a mac II. My background was that my mother was a grapic designer (back those days) and my father as well. My mom was more into illustration while my father did photography.This is what I grew up with and what I wanted to make. I learned photography, doing graphics, design stuff, illustrating things and added computer based design.Nowadays I'm into visualizing things with those skills and added, 3D, interactive and motion design. Sure it always was meant for creating ideas and visions to describe something.Not only with pictures but also with sound, motion and for that deeper in receiption.Whar I'm missing is a forum for interdisciplinar things where all programs/apps are working together. To me there isn't a big gap between using Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, Dreamweaver, Premiere Pro, After effects, Audition or even cinema4D?... ...well, at least there is a difference.

Hi! I created something really fun https://www.behance.net/gallery/109239219/Adobe-Creativity-Tour-Challenge-Marshmello for this challenge https://creativitytour.adobe.com/challenges/marshmello/ No matter what I do... when I go to submit my entry (I've tried on a Macbook, Laptop PC, iPhone 8 and iPad Pro) no matter the file size or file type (jpg or png)... the Submit button remains greyed out... and the deadline is today for submission... I'm not sure if the "fake path" that shows is part of the issue, but I'm seeing this on every device I try and upload from...   

I made an award-winning design and I can't upload it for some unknown reason. After filling out the form, the submit button literally remains unclickable. This is exrtemely frustrating and I can't tell if I'm the only person in the world having this problem, but there's no way I'm missing out on this contest for something that has nothing to do with me.  Thanks for your time! Chris

I took the survey because it offered "Chance to win up to $500 for sharing your opinions!".Who couldn't use $500?The problem was, my work is sort of odd. My "paying job" is for a a publicly traded companyI provide a great deal of support to a non-profit I do stuff for myself for free (because I'm cheap)There should have been a comments section at the end, where I could have explained. My answers to a lot of the questions would have been different depending on what perspective I was answering from.I'm firmly rooted on the development side of the house in my paying job. That means less graphic design and more UX and web design.In support of the non-profit: it's a non-profit so I'm doing just about anything imaginable.The stuff I do for myself is random and can incorporate any of the other two and more.In all cases, I'm pay for my own, single, subscription. But, as the survey tended to lead me to believe, the cost for the equivalent subscription I use now is about to increa

Hi guys, Im trying to share my sons in entry for the Marshmallow Helmet design competition. I dont know how to make a personal link from his entry to be able to share to friends and family. Can anyone please help?

I'm not playing. I'm old, I self-taught myself photography and PS. I had my progress, I stay out of the way of progress for young people today and I mean that sincerely in tone.  I use my phone for snapshots of photo gear I try selling to support my craft? I isolate items, copy and paste them to other backgrounds ...dark mostly and sometime I create a retro square box llok with a white border and using black and white to create some classic sexy looking ads of my gear? I'm not that good, though and I don't put that much effort into FB ads So I posted images on Marketplace, my creations, sort of professional looking displays that pass for old magazine ads using my own gear and technique, I underastand how this all appears. I don't understand assuming or jumping to conclusions though. FB claimed I took copyrighted material not of my own and offered items I couldn't possbly provide as a result of using so-called taken images  I was just tried, convicted, and then

  And here I was years and years later thinking that Adobe was formed by an Indian (Shantanu) and teams of Indian engineers tucked away in their homes ot offiices in India. I then stumbled upon this and now it all finally makes sense.    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWWg63ZwjQA

Hello, an artist friend, I would say an analogic artist, which currently is completely disconnected from the digital world, is missing a huge chunk of job opportunities such as digital paintings, digital illustration etc. Moreover working analogically I have to help her in scanning and adjust a plethora of paper and canvas illustrations and paintings, which is just extra time and cost, 'cause all in all clients does not care about the medium.She has a small budget and asked for guideance about how to spend this money.She can effort: iPad (the standard version)+ ProcreateXP-Pen up to 22E ProHuion up to Kamvas 22The big problem is that she has no PC... 😄I don't know which one of these options adopt, any help from those personally on this matter, would be great:iPad: Personally pair Procreate with iPad I see it as a second passage or anyway an option when you already have a PC, and I don't know how she could feel by drawing on a 10 inches screen, but she does well o
