The Lounge

Hello, where is the Community Events page? where to post the events?

The "story" was important, from ancient Greece and written culture ( a record in history of original material ), and those stories have changed over the thousand years.From classics ( comedy / tragedy) to current amalgamation of various combinations. Cartoon heroes, dramas, film Noire, melodramas, docudrama, reality TV, character driven episodic TV, etc. etc.Now the story is still important and attracts the audience to monetize it.The 'artists' of the world have always been at odds with the commercialization of their work vs. the reality of having a patron that allowed them to live.The culture we deserve is now part and parcel of what we have for editing software. Automate some things so people don't have to think about the story and nuance. Just make it work FAST. Grading 500 clips in a Day IS NOW a boast that a control panel allows one to accomplish.Check this out... Barzun is dead, and so is the idea that we are responsible for the culture we deserve.Review of Jacques Barzun's The C

HiI am really new to art programs.   I typically only use paint.   I am trying to modify a leather pattern to use a laser cutter to draw images on leather.   I would like to add a border or an image to this pattern.   Preferably a Celtic design but open to other options.    I am hoping photoshop can do all this.  If not what do I need?   Regards

I've just seen this item on BBC News.  America and Canada are expecting -53°C (-64°F) temperatures in the next few days.  I am never going to complain about it feeling cold here again (it rarely gets below freezing).  In fact we have had three days of 35°C this week, thanks to Australia blowing hot air across the Tasman.  The article says you have been advised 'not to take deep breaths, and to minimise talking when outside'.  How are are the American ladies going to cope with not talking?!I guess it is going to affect you all, but I'm thinking of Benjamin in Cedar Rapids, and perhaps more notable, Noel Carboni who recently moved from Florida to Minnesota to work at the Adobe Arden Hills location.  Noel, I hope the new job is going well, and I hope your family are still speaking to you.   I've experienced -40° (which happens to be the crossover point for Fahrenheit and Centigrade) when I worked in the Environmental Test department of Ford Research

As an everyday Josephine, I am not doing it. As a Mom who enjoys creating little projects with her photos, I am not doing it. I have used Adobe Elements for many years. I will not, nor can I afford, to pay the outrageous, insame price, MONTHLY, to CONTINUE to enjoy these products. I WILL NOT DO IT.

Hey guys,This is more of a, 'what is your annoying experience', kinda post.So I landed a job as a junior graphics designer and still learning the ropes and always will.Last week, one of the project managers wanted me to convert a PSD to a PDF and AI, also to convert the raster layers in the PSD to vector. It was an easy convert, since the logo was all black and all I needed to do what image trace the logo in AI, save as PDF and AI, good to go to the client.So the client comes back to the project manager and state one of the layers isn't a vector and they screenshotted it. So I looked at it, ok it wasn't. I converted it again and made sure it was a vector. Sent it again.But what really gets me... is that the 'creative manager' from the other company (I saw in the email) screenshotted illustrator of the un-vectored layer. Why couldn't she image trace the layer herself? She has illustrator open, a quick google search how to vector an image in illustrator would have taken her 20 mins max f

Can anyone confirm if this is an annual event, and give any indication of what month it would be held in 2019? My work is keen to get me over, however there's only summary notes from this year's 2018 symposium on their website as it was only held in August. Thanks!

I thought this was pure genius.  Forget about the sentiments — the layout is quite beautiful.It's from this story in the Washington Post today.

Sure. This is the “Digital Age,” yet many of us got started in the days of loading film into a camera. We edited a motion picture by splicing the actual film footage. There was a time when we burned a plate for a printing press using a big sheet of graphic arts film. The Dodge Tool wasn’t just a thing used in Adobe Photoshop; it was an actual little tool in the darkroom. And then there was learning how Adobe InDesign allows you to space type that was once the job of hot metal typesetting. That background illuminates what the digital tools are all about. Understanding the analog techniques can improve the methods used in media technologies. And, then, there are those of us who pioneered the original 1984 Mac, Windows 2.0, and have 35 years in the digital world.The US Bureau of Labor Statics (BLS) says that millions of Americans are not retiring at 65 years of age. Many of us, in North America, continue to work as long as we can. That BLS data in not as fresh as we would like, but betwee

Windows Build does not work

I am looking for a next gen top of the line plugin or presets exclusively for logos, I am working on upgrading my trends and the designs are stating to get stale and or going back to classical art. Very experimental. Any ideas links or processes welcome.Logos are not growing fast enough for the marketA fresh new take on Logos is needed for the Social media bundling. I would like to gather data and exchange Ideas about new trends in design and maybe cross-pollinate with some good peeps in order to create a new fresh style of logo making to grow the gap and lock the niche in some areas. For example, gaming social accounts which is one of my interest and other graphic designer or art content who need an Iconic new look for their social campaigns. All are welcome to ship in there 2 cents. Thanks!!! [Moderator edited for brevity and clarity.]

just a heads up

I am an Activist in several Organizations and am trying to create a "TEMPLATE eMagazine" like platform that includes multi-program and realistic rick media distribution via PDF. The realistic and template parts means the finished platform is non-code learning in nature; any examples?

Can someone from the US tell me if people affected by the US Government shutdown get paid retrospectively when a budget is finally agreed, or do they lose that income completely?   What about things like health insurance?  Does that remain valid throughout the shutdown?  I'm not asking about who is to blame.  I'm just wondering how those workers are going to manage if it is as drawn out as they are saying today.

Does it ever feel like you have been Divinely thrown into a new situation? Maybe you had no idea where it would lead. Yet, looking back, you can see the Divine intent and, now, you cannot imagine how you could have taken a different pathway?This weekend is the 34th anniversary of our first “date.” It wasn’t one of those romantic kind of things. We got together to talk about creative professional stuff and immediately clicked.We were not involved in dating others. Week after week, the personal relationship grew but so did our industry zeal.So, if we took a different pathway, would it have been better?We have no idea.If this really is a Divine thing, has it been a smooth, level pathway?No. There’s been a bunch of rocky terrain, but being called to pioneer uncharted trails is like that.Does that make us some kind of super select couple?That’s hardly the case. We get more than a little scared for television Meteorologists, who go off to nasty weather events to cover them, so viewers unders

Mojave is more than the newest OSX. For those who live outside of the United States, the Mojave Desert in Southern California and parts of Utah, Nevada, and Arizona occupies 47,877 sq mi (124,000 km). Mojave Desert - Wikipedia https://www.mdlt.org/about/The desert is named after the Mojave (Mohave) tribe of native American Indians:Mojave tribe: Location, Clothes, Food, Lifestyle, History and famous Chiefs*** The Mojave River is unique because it flows inland instead of toward the ocean:Mojave River Here is a map from the National Park Service:https://www.nps.gov/moja/planyourvisit/upload/MOJAmap1.pdf

Does anyone use this software?  Their website is sort of confusing.  Is the $100 standalone software all that's needed to up-res images?  

I have been making short slide show stories. (Very short) just as an experiment and posting them onto my blog, facebook and You Tube. I want to expand and get better at it. Are there any other writers or storytellers out there doing the same?Just staring out with this forum.[Moerator edited topic for brevity.]
