Read this, read that, text here, text there, text everywhere! Why can't my computer just talk to me? I tickle it's keys, I dust it off, I hug it before I go to bed, I replace it's innards when it's not feeling well, the least it could do is TALK TO ME!

Hey fellow Adobe users...I've recently finished my first documentary. I made it with Abode Premiere Pro and Photoshop. I had fun learning the ins and outs of the programs and am pleased that I can now make some more documentaries with these Adobe products. Come check out the documentary, if you're into learning about how reality works.There's a quick trailer and if you scroll down a 6 min. free promo.Thanks Adobe for your products https://www.reelhouse.org/codes/apollo

I am working with low Rez photos. I need them 300 dpi and at least 8” large. Is there a pixel dimension that I can request they use that would get me what I need? I don’t do enough photography to address this. And most photographers I ask don’t do printed work so they don’t know. Any ideas?

I need a new computer and I need some advice about what to get in a computer. Please do not reply if you’re not familiar any of these products and the computer resources they use.I have had some friends say that it is all in the graphics processor you get and others says its computer processor and memory. I need someone that really knows what they’re talking about and uses these programs to offer advice.First off, I do not want and Apple, I want a PC and I want Windows 7 professional.I need a computer that will handle running these products, Adobe photoshop, Illistrator, Indesign, Acrobat, word, and excel. I will have three or four of these products open at the same time. I need a machine that will be able to handle a majority of these products open at the same time and not be slow or sluggish. I would rather it be a laptop so that I can travel with it but I might consider a desktop.I currently have a laptop that works with this but when I get into some real intensive work on Photshop

Recent security concerns make us think that everyone is rushing to get the latest operating system (OS) upgrade, but that’s hardly the case. That surprised us. Between Apple and Microsoft, we sometimes see new versions released as fast as every week or two, when security issues exist.There was a time when Mac owners rushed out and adopted the latest OS. By year’s end, StatCounter was reporting that worldwide, 26.42% of Mac users adopted the High Sierra (10.13) and 29.61% were back on the previous version, Sierra (10.12), with 20.64% on El Capitan (10.11). That tells us that 76.67% of the Macs in the world, according to StatCounter, have bought into an OS update since September 2015.But, that’s the whole wide world. How about North America? Here on Apple’s home turf, it’s actually a little less: 75.94% with quite a few less for High Sierra: 23.15%.Okay. That’s Mac. How about Windows 10? That was released a few weeks before macOS El Capitan, in 2015. Worldwide, by year’s end, 41.69% of W

Bonjour à tous les membres de adobe stock de fotolia et aux adminsje trouvé hier grace aux conseils d'autres membres comment faire apparaitre aux yeux des autres utilisateurs du forum le pseudo de mon portfolio qui est mon nom de photographe utilisé depuis l'année 2008 sur internetquestion aux admins : Pourquoi les utilisateurs voient leur réelle identité sur le forum alors que les autres voient le pseudo ? pourquoi le nom d'utilisateur n'est-il pas en permanence écrit quand on utilise le site et le forum et pourquoi notre réelle identité est constamment affiché à nos yeux  ? je trouve ça plutôt bizarre et perturbant, un peu comme si un artiste utilisant un nom d'artiste voyait en permanence sur son micro sur scène sa réelle identité alors qu'il est sur scèneUn peu comme si Johnny Halliday voyait écrit sur ses disques, Jean philippe Smet ainsi que sur les affiches de concert, et sur son micro sur scèneou que Patrick Bruel voyais écrit Jean benguiguiquestions aux autres membres :tr

Do you want a 2-½ hour course with who many consider the master of filmmaking? Tonight at 6:30p EDT, HBO has a documentary, “Spielberg”. It premiered last night and we must see it again (and probably again). If you have any interest in telling a visual story, you want to watch this.

Da meine Englischkenntnisse nicht so gut sind möchte ich fragen ob man das alles auch irgendwie/wo auf deutsch haben kann....Lieben Dank.

Best wishes to all my fellow creatives this holiday season.

As Web Developers when will we cry out about Adobe's continued effort to devalue the profession we have taken years to learn and perfect.  After all it was all of us that made Adobe the success it is today.With its continued offerings like Muse and now Spark that basically tout the effortless creation of point and click, drag and drop, web content and now video production they are undercutting the hand that feeds them.We have all seen our hourly rates drop because of all the "create a website in minute with no coding" BS that make our customers think creating a website is no big deal that they can have their secretaries crank out a website in a day and Adobe is promoting this misconception.I would think that Adobe would have a little more respect for the industry that put them were they are today.JLS

Is there something Apple is cooking up with all that Mac “Pro” hardware in the stores or in the pipeline?Some people will tell you that that macOS Server died off years ago. But as Mark Twain quipped, after a newspaper ran his obituary, “The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.” The latest version of macOS Server, 5.4, shipped September 25, 2017: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/macos-server/id883878097?mt=12 But, unlike the days when Apple had server hardware, the market for Server 5.4 has been greatly diminished, at least for now.For many highly secure, high-end, server farms, HP owns the market. Yes, there are other players in that game, too. But, here’s the problem, which weighs on the mind of IT people: hacking.We do not profess to be deep into the details of the IT engineering stratosphere. We used to be. Today, our side of things is more on the executive level. We have broader decisions to make about content delivery.What we do share with IT engineers are those security c

Dear all. I am new in the forum, I would like to write a "document" or a "blog post". Where do I go? I cannot find the functionality. Thank you, Martin

Just saw our link to our presentation during Adobe MAX 2016!Hope to resume it on 2018!https://yhoo.it/2F9n4pZ Enjoy!!

I've exchanged the odd PM about books we are reading with other forum regulars, and I thought it might be useful to start an ongoing thread.  I've never been without a book since I was a teenager, although nowadays, I pretty much exclusivity listen to audio books on my phone. What prompted me to start this thread now, was having just finished 'To Kill a President' by Guardian journalist Johnathon Freedland, who writes fiction under the pseudonym Sam Bourne.  I had no idea what I was getting into when I started the book, but while it is fiction, it turned out to be an obvious depiction of Donald Trump and his inner circle of cronies.  The Presidents Chief of Staff sounds very like Steve Bannon, right down to the scary, and totally out there, agenda.  At one point they engineer an event that allows them to revoke the Constitution on the grounds that it gets in the way of public safety.  The same event drives an Executive Order compelling media outlets to be licen

The newest t prime number was discovered last month and is over 23 million digits long.  It begins with a 4 and ends in a 1.  It would likely take the average human 54 days to write it all out on paper.   277,232,917 − 1

Do you really need to know EVERYTHING about an Adobe app?Media technology is ever-changing. There was a time when creative professionals were pigeon-holed as: Photographer, Designer, Illustrator, Writer, Director, Producer, Editor, etc.Today, one job description may require one primary skillset, but also a series of subset skills. By way of example, many people are in charge of web content for their employer. When they started their jobs, a few years ago, they may have been quite good with working in Adobe Photoshop.With proper training that employee became an Adobe Photoshop ACA (Adobe Certified Associate: http://www.adobe.com/training/certification.html). As that person grew into the job, some skills with Adobe Bridge and Adobe Camera Raw were natural progressions. Soon Adobe Lightroom became helpful. Next, their employer wanted them to touch-up some documents in Adobe Acrobat, to add PDFs to the website. Now that person’s supervisor needs a few new documents created as PDFs so, our

Hi,Recently, I noticed that my site (plus images and icons, etc.) and other sites look much darker or washed out in Chrome and Opera.In Edge, IE and Firefox, they still look the original bright colors.I thought this was just a temporary visual glitch, but I noticed that the hex values are indeed different for the same images in different browsers, now.I've been using Fireworks to make my simple images and things for my site for ages.In Windows explorer, the images look bright and so too when opened up in Fireworks or online in Edge, IE and FF.I decided to install Photoshop and Illustrator and take a look at my images, and indeed in both of these apps the images look washed out and dark again and a different hex value like before.I've never noticed this issue up until a couple of months ago, and I thought it was maybe a temporary issue in Chrome. I use Edge mainly, but test in other browsers.An example of my issue is here. If you use a color picker, you can see that the YouTube logo is

Hi & Happy Hannukah!!Can anyone suggest a way, either through some Adobe App or a 3rd party app, to locate & delete duplicate images/files.I have over 10,000 images on my hard drive & know there are many duplicates.  I delete them when I come across them but I'd liketo go through and zap them all.Thanks & Merry Christmas:)-Paul

Did any of you West Coast people see the strange lights off California caused by the Space X launch?There are some very cool pictures and video out there, and I'd have love to have witnessed it.This one is crying out for some image stabilization.
