For several weeks now I have questioned if it is time to step aside and regroup/recenter one's self so that can be more productive and intuitive on the forums- i.e. ACP and prerelease. Having been here for couple of years but longer on PR I know that I can often look for other avenues of inspiration that pertains to what I feel that I am addicted to---- Adobe stuff.Seems that we all come to an avenue that feeds our creative insight and sometimes we need to take another road at least for inspiration and revitalization. Just curious to know how others treat this venue. Creativity can take many avenues of mental process and I find myself on that road now so just wish to know how others balance all that I call Adobe Addiction!

How do you get help with an account issue at Adobe? They never answer and never pick up the chat!

I created an Adobe Spark Page and I had to convert all my images to JPEG because they were all taken with my iPhone with iOS 11, is there any option hidden in Spark that supports the HEIF image? If there is not, I will continue to convert images hehehe

How do college’s start new programs on media technologies? Public colleges often have a foundation which raises money for a big chunk of those program start-ups.As seen in the graph in Inside Higher Ed: https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2018/01/25/college-endowments-rise-122-percent-2017-experts-worry-about-long-term-trends there was a 12.2% rise in giving to endowments in 2017. For many public higher education systems, that foundation money starts new programs which fuel programs for future web designers, filmmakers, photographers, illustrators, etc. These are not cheap investments for colleges and universities. It can take millions of dollars to launch these programs which can include a new building.It’s important to note that media technology fuels more than the typical degree programs. Many colleges have a growing number of workforce and continuing education students. These are often working professionals who need to grow their careers or become certified in certain areas of expe

Adobe Digital Lizenzierung muss endlich neu definiert werden und sollte nicht mehr unter der Hoheit von Adobe ausgeführt werden.Kauft man sich ein neuer Reader und stellt man fest, dass ADOBE keine DRM Aktivierungslizenzen mehr hergibt, steht man im Abseits mit seinen gekauften Bücher und dreht Daumen.Das sind einfach Mafia Methoden.Wie kann ich auf meine Adobe Digital ID neue DRM Lizenzen beziehen?- Adobe, kein online Chat mehr für dieses Thema- Adobe bietet Null Support auf Adobe Digital- Im Forum Null Hilfe für diese Probleme?LG ChristophGoogle translateAdobe Digital licensing must finally be redefined and should no longer be executed under the sovereignty of Adobe.If you buy a new reader and find that ADOBE does not sell DRM activation licenses anymore, you are offside with your purchased books and keep your fingers crossed.These are simply mafia methods.How can I get new DRM licenses for my Adobe Digital ID?- Adobe, no more online chat for this topic- Adobe offers zero support on

Does a photograph tell the whole story? Is the visual story enhanced when a photo becomes the reference source for an illustration?We are used to the painting tool which Photoshop brings to the table. A photograph becomes a clone source.Here’s an interesting news feature on how a soldier-artist carries on a military tradition of capturing the story of defense events in traditional media. Yet, he often starts with a digital photographic reference.https://www.nbcwashington.com/multimedia/Army-Artist-Captures-Humanity-Even-In-War-Zones_Washington-DC-471827363.html

I work for local nonprofit, Playworks Utah. We host an annual Junior Coach Leadership Summit to teach leadership skills to 500 4th, 5th, and 6th grade students. I'm wondering if the Adobe campus in Lehi has any space suitable to hosting the event. Any information you have would be greatly appreciated.Thank you!

Hello Everyone,I am looking for some recording tools to keep tracking the mouse operation history on After Effects and Premiere Pro. I would like to know how the users operate the templates I have provided and which operation they feel difficult. It would be the best if there were any scripts which sent the operation history to me. Any ideas?Thanks,Hideki

Do electronics make you a liar? (We had a client who used to say that.) Or, do you paint yourself into corners?Here’s what happens. A client say’s, “Can you do, ‘blah, blah, blah’?” If the request is something you have done a zillion times before, say, “Sure.” However, if it places you in unfamiliar territory, “Can I investigate that and get back to you?” is the honest response.If the request is a painterly Photoshop illustration, and your Photoshop retouching skills are great but your painting skills are a bit outside your comfort zone, you need to do at least 2 things. 1.) Rather than assuming you know everything about Photoshop painting, do some research and get your technical knowledge up to speed. 2.) Once you know how to use the tools in your toolbox, begin to explore techniques in established methodologies.Some of the latter probably includes exploring what methods other are employing. Is that a touchy point? Well, you’re not trying to study the techniques of a master impression

Any chance that anyone would like to speak on web-related topics at the NAGW conference this September?They are looking for public and private sector - not just government... and are gathering proposals now and I bet a lot of Adobe forum members may want to submit a proposal.All the info is at:2018 Call for Speakers | National Association of Government Web ProfessionalsTopics NAGW is Looking for in 2018:Content Strategy (including Plain Language)Dashboards, Metrics & Open DataSocial Media Policy, Strategy & ToolsUser Experience & AccessibilityInnovative Tools & TechnologyWebsite Project Management & Redesign

There doesn't seem to be a way to set up an RSS Feed for Julieanne Kost's Blog any more.  I can't figure out how to contact to verify this.  Can anyone help me?The last feed date I have is 29 December 2017.

I thought it would be interesting to ask people if they would name the three most important things they wish they could have learned earlier in life.It doesn't have to be in any particular context.

How is the technology sector doing and why should those financial numbers concern creative professionals?This is the time of year when the world’s big suppliers of the tools, which creative professionals depend on, report on how things are going financially. Those reports primarily focus on the October 1 - December 31 quarter and look at how that compares to the previous period.The bellwether has become Apple, which last week reported that revenues were up around 13%. But how were unit sales? Apple sold 1% more iPads and that represented a 5% iPad revenue rise. That tells us people want more powerful iPads. Similarly, iPhone revenues were up 13%, but there were 1% few units sold. That tells us more powerful iPhones are the trend, but we don’t know what we’re supposed to learn from a lesser demand. Are the iPhones people already have lasting longer? We have heard such speculation, but it’s difficult to figure what that really means. Mac sales don’t look great: revenues and units are dow

Friends in the UK were talking about how expensive CC is, and the numbers seemed wrong. But I checked, and at least in the UK and Europe the prices seem to be miscalculated.Taking the UK, annually paying for CC is $50 here, which ought to be £35. But they have VAT at 20%, making it be £42. Why is it they are being asked £50?

Hello, all.Does anyone know who designed the Adobe CC logo?I am working on a PowerPoint presentation for my Marketing class, and can't find the agency or team members who handled the design update.The adobe timeline link is broken. Any help would be appreciated.Thank you.[Discussion moved by moderator from Adobe Creative Cloud to The Lounge.].

Not really a big deal, but paint me confused. Inbox Notification said:Your content has been rejected: Re: Project could not be loaded, it may be damaged or contain outdated elementsYour content has been rejected: Re: Project could not be loaded, it may be damaged or contain outdated elementsBut both posts are - apparently - approved (OP gave me a like). Someone from the mods misclicked?

Honestly, I love me some Dillard's, but they've been going a little crazy with the Photoshop. I first noticed it when many of the models regularly had flat knees. But what I saw today is even weirder. Dillard's is removing the arch of the foot in their pictures of shoes. This poor model has the worst case of flat feet ever Antonio Melani Lynnette Ankle Strap and Buckle Wedges | Dillards. I wouldn't want these shoes if they did that to my feet!What repeat offenders have you seen?

Not so much a forum question, but I can't find anywhere else to send a message. I just wanted to thank Adobe for the effort put into the Dawn and Dusk sessions at BETT last week. I got to three of them and thoroughly enjoyed and was educated by them. The only disappointing thing was how few came to some of the sessions, but this may have helped make it more enjoyable as any assistance I needed was swiftly given. It was good to get a sense that the people who helped write some of the programs were there. Please keep running these - one request, on the Saturday as well next year? So please pass on my thanks to all concerned as I found the sessions very worthwhile.

Terri, seeing as you have raised the subject, how is it even remotely viable that after  so many American celebrities and politicians have been sacked or forced to resign over claims of  sexual harassment, and yet Trump, who bragged about his own blatant contemptible behavior with women, is still the President of the United States?  I can see that the GOP wants to hang on to power at any cost, but at what point does their ever decreasing credibility make their position no longer tenable?
