I found this really good and concise explanation of color basics re: basics.  It was some guy in Los Angeles, who won't mind me sharing this.I just copied pasted stuff to notepad and won't edit the thing ...you'll get the idea the way it is...It's pretty cool way of just explaining and might help eliminate some confusion, like my own, for example.=========begin paste=====The Mini Monitor isn't just a TB to HDMI adapter, like the adapters your can buy for $7 off Amazon. It converts a computer data signal to a TV signal. Fundamentally different types of signals. This is why you can't just plug a TV directly into your HDMI port in your computer. It would show up as second computer monitor, extending your desktop, displaying a computer signal. TV video signals can be progressive, interlaced, different frame rates, and adhere to standard formats like ATSC, PAL, etc., encoded in Y'CbCr. Computer video signals are different beasts entirely, and computer monitors that are color-accurate a

Adobe, would you do a contest on revamping your website? How about redecorating the interior of your corporate offices? How about a contest on best new software -- is that next?  A successful graphic design involves solving problems, and creating solutions.  Its not a pretty picture to enhance your web pages...For the recent Bauhaus contest that was just announced, the prizes are really nice, but only a couple designers will win.... meanwhile ALL of these other designers, many of whom are hopeful emerging students, will be spending a lot of valuable time doing Adobe's marketing work for free... and without the appropriate information to really do a good job. I wish Adobe would respect graphic designers more, and "hire" an amazing team of designers rather than entice students or newbies to enter their contest.  Maybe they can be asked to show their work, in order to be considered for the team.... but a contest?  It really is a slap in the face every time I see a cont

Cavemen have probably been doing this forever, but I finally figured it out.I use a d800 and HDMI out to Ninja ( 1080p 24fps, DNxHD). Normally I sync sound with slate and little recording gadget ( TASCAM).On one shoot I had a little shotgun rode on hot shoe of camera plugged into mic of camera, as a sort of 'backup'.The man helping me on job (turning TASCAM on and off for takes) did something weird at one point and a few sound takes were no good after that.Luckily I had the stupid little rode on top of camera and talent was close, so I used THAT sound. BUT discovered it was out of sync 3 frames. I had the slate to use and figure that out.The sound gets recorded faster than video stream data can be compressed, so it's out 3 frames....sound coming first.In editor, unlinking sound, and moving sound forward with mouse really was hard, cause it's not accurate and it's a hit and miss sorta operation.I just realized a few minutes ago (cause I'm gonna go out with camera soon and shoot with tha

Hello there! I'm relatively new to this community, but have been using Creative Cloud products for a while now. Thought I'd join in to help others, share my experiences and hopefully be able to gain some networking and make new friends in return.I'm a UK based creative, working on a variety of digital and print marketing campaigns from design to fruition. I also work on the radio in the UK, both on-air and behind the scenes in production/admin. There's more about my work here: www.ianpinnell.co.uk.I regularly use Adobe InDesign, Audition and Photoshop. I also occasionally use Illustrator and Premier Pro, which is something I'm starting to learn.Anyway, hope to network with you all soon and thanks for having me.

Hello all...Our production process is quite transparent.  We do an entrance call prior to starting production to flesh out ideas with clients.  We follow with a storyboard to make sure they are clear on what we are going to do.  The client signs off on this.  We produce the video and stay true to what we said we would do and do it with high quality.  Despite this, we have a handful of clients who view the finished product, have a different idea, and request revisions that means re-making the entire video.  We have started charging a flat rate for our videos which includes 1 minor revision.  Anything over that we charge our hourly editing fee.  What is everyone else doing?  Open to suggestions.Thanks!Shelley

Power hungry creative professionals must drink from “Coffee Lake.” That watering hole is the name for the Intel i9 processor which was introduced earlier this month.Apple has not been publicly open about what’s under the hood of their new high-end 15” MacBook Pro model. We have a long list of things to press our Apple colleagues about, but the people who back wire technology say the i9 is at the heart of the new best-of-brand Apple laptop.Why does a creative professional need to know the technical specifics of what Apple is selling and HP has announced that they have in the works? For the most part, he/she just needs to do great work. However, knowledge will always be power. And, unless you know what’s happening with your hardware needs, you’re somewhat powerless: a bad (and often irresponsible) place to be.We tend to think of Apple, Canon, Cisco, Epson, HP, Nikon, Sony, Wacom, Yamaha, etc. as these big suppliers of cool creative hardware essentials, which drive the foundation of the t

In the old days, before this version of Jive, when someone posted a response the person who last posted was listed. It was kinda nice because you could follow the thread by seeing who was contributing help. Everyone had different opinions about this NEW version, of course, and it has been so many years it really hardly matters anymore.EXCEPT, for example, with what appears to be some house cleaning effort ( thank goodness I suppose) on the part of a STAFF member ( KM ) whereupon the first 100 posts in the PPro forum are now effectively a sort of barrage of life buoys thrown into the ocean to save ( and hence clean up the debris ) those posts which for one reason or another have languished over time with a lack of activity.It's like, coming back from an Around-The-World trip, KM happened to come by the residual bobbing heads of Titanic victims, and threw out life saving donuts with various shouts of, " AHOY THERE, ARE YOU ALRIGHT ?

Minnesota, the land of 10,000 lakes, just gave birth to a gazillion turtles !  The mommy turtles come out of lake, come up close to your patio or porch, dig a hole, lay their eggs, cover up hole, and mosey back to the lake.Most baby turtles come out of the ground ( after a couple months ) and something in their DNA or whatever prompts them to go to the lake where their mom came from. Some, possibly stupid, turtles move to the FRONT of your property or house, where there is a ROAD, and try to cross the road to some weird turtle destination which no human on earth understands.This is when they can geta) squished by carsb) stuck on melting road.I called the local Turtle experts and asked what I can do to rescue these misguided turtles.They said, " Pick them up and help them across the road to the other side."Apparently they have a one track mind, like many humans I know, and if you put them back to the lake they will just turn around when you go away and go to the road again.: )[titl

I think it is great as creatives to connect and inspire each other.  One way to do this is by viewing each other's portfolios.  It can even lead to collaborations!  Networking is key to be successful....So let's share our Adobe Portfolio Sites and Behance Pages..... Get to know each other better!I will start...Adobe Portfolio -https://kennshinabery.myportfolio.com/ Behancehttps://www.behance.net/kennshinabery

A few weeks ago, we heard some entertainment news of a famous actress/spokesperson embarking on a somewhat risky TV series role. She’s a multimillionaire. It’s not as if she needs the money. Some “handlers” surely told her it wasn’t  a good idea. But she did it anyway.We have to (love to) read brand manuals for hotels and restaurants. They’re big books which offer “suggestions” (or demands) on how the franchisees of those multimillion dollar operations should conduct business. Such manuals get into everything from guest safety to long lists of the coffees, teas, and whiskeys which have to be available.We love food & beverage (F&B) and watch way too many cooking shows. It’s very creative stuff. We love to hang out with chefs, bartenders, and food service managers. They are a cross between the world’s most brilliant creative minds and astute business managers.Brand manuals, for the world’s top hotels, are pretty much Adobe Classroom in a Book for making something really cool
