I like many kids, love animation, love making it, but i can't afford 20 dollars a month. It's very bias to say "make it" on your ads, and expect little kids like me, to come up with a monthly subscription. Animation was gonna be one of my dream jobs, and when that was taken away from me, i  was depressed - i am depressed, my heart is broken. Yeah, i will probably be able to afford it in the future, but that's a different place, and i need practice. 20 dollars a month comes out to 240 dollars a year, and while you MAY be able to make money off of it, there are (and i could be wrong) 1 billion people on the internet. imagine trying to find one exact piece. You would need to pay a lot to get it to be noticed. 240 dollars a year is like asking for a cheap hotel. Animate does not provide you shelter, it does not feed you, nor does it give you water. Once again, this was going to be a career for me, but i can't afford a career that's 20 dollars or more a month. Sure there are free alter

Don’t mess with the electronic ecosystem.We have talked about Information Technology (IT) enterprise focusing on a very tight spec. Well, a one person shop can learn something from big IT.So far, that conversation has focused on Apple and HP’s computer hardware. But, IT has a much bigger ecosystem to consider. By way of example, the Commonwealth of Virginia has 39 public colleges and universities with over 100 campuses. That means on any full session weekday, over a half million people on Virginia’s public college campuses are plugged into that IT ecosystem. For those 18-88 year old learners, that system needs to be as close as humanly possible to 100% uptime.As the sarcastic saying goes, “What could possibly go wrong?” That’s exactly what IT program directors have to ask themselves about. Here are the suppliers at the core of a pubic college system’s IT ecosystem:AdobeAutodeskAppleCanonCiscoEpsonHPLaCieMicrosoftNikonSonyWacomThe IT people do a great deal of testing and regular upgradi

Over on the Illustrator Forums a topic was started to discuss rich black tips and information. I thought the discussion would be better placed here because it goes well beyond Illustrator and, indeed, Adobe products overall.So, what's your go-to rich black formula? What tips and advice do you have for other designers; for people working in Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Acrobat, and other printing products, and; for those new to print design who might not know anything about the what, when, and why of rich black?

I doesn't snow here in San Antonio very often so it's a really big deal when it does.

After offering to show a poster how to achieve an effect in this thread  it turned out to be a bit of a slog and took me half an hour by the time I'd pasted all the screen shots across, and I was thinking of all the times we have done things like that between us (the various forum regular posters).  The OP in that thread PM'd me to remind me, so I guess at least he saw what I posted, but on the whole, those big 'how to' threads probably get lost and might never be viewed again after they slip off of page #1.  So it occurred to me that we could start a sort of master thread, and either paste other threads into it, or probably better, just post an image and a link to the original thread.  That would make it quicker and easier to scroll through it all.I'm thinking back to that Displacement Map thread where Norman posted some pure gold advice, and Semaphoric pointed out that 1) they don't work if backward compatibility is not set to Always in Preferences, and that maps

I love plants but blimey, I'm woefully ignorant of their names. Viewing these pictures can anyone place names to the plants. Would be much obliged if you could. Thanks. Oh yea, and please don't say "grass" or "tree" as I'm not that dumb.

In another forum (Photoshop), a post was made with a request for responses. I think that's a GREAT learning idea! Wouldn't it be great to have a forum location to share their work and learn by critique? Critiques can include feedback on how well the work was accomplished - but additionally about learning efficient, powerful, non-destructive techniques to accomplish their wishes. Does anyone else think this is a good idea?

Nature Photographers and Illustrators Have the Secret to Better Health. Their work could be classified as “Ecotherapy.”  There’s medical evidence that taking a walk in the woods assists with issues of depression and motivation. 50 doctors in 11 states prescribe it to patients and there’s signs of it working.So, that being the case, how does getting out in nature and capturing all that ecological beauty sound? Take a Digital Single Lens Reflex (dSLR) camera, HD movie camera, audio recording devices, or iPad/stylus.Your assignment? Try it!If you need more convincing, watch this 2 minute piece:https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/dose-nature-doctors-prescribe-day-park-anxiety-n823421

My tablet worked fine until the fall update of windows 10 the other week, ever since then the calibration is off on my tablet display. I use an extended display but if I set to 'duplicate' or 'show only' the calibration is fine. It works okay with a mouse but when I use the pen the cursor will appear halfway across the screen from where I'm pressing. I was using it the other day and the cursor started glitching out, in the Windows Defender menu it had said there was an issue with a pen table bus but even after applying this and restarting I still had no luck.I've uninstalled the driver and reinstalled to no avail, I'm putting this down to a standard windows screw up (every time windows has an update it usually breaks an Adobe app on me.)Monitor is an Acer S220HQL - 1920/1080Tablet is an UGEE 1910B - 1440/900

are there loads of questions to be answered?

Looking for recommendations on some worthwhile design or marketing conferences in spring of this coming year.

I'm trying to access the FAQ websites linked from this new Lightroom CC community, but it seems the links are not working. I get "404 Page not found" errors for most of them. Also, one of the active links ("Bug? Feature Request? Add it here!") takes me to another site, a Photoshop family forum, where it seems I need to make another account to post. It's all very confusing. Why can't I make bug reports and requests here using my Adobe account?

What a great resource the Adobe Community can be! Tough, technical, detail-specific challenges receive multiple responses--plus even humor and encouragement! Many Community questions/answers are well crafted, application-specific, and well focused.  I have more big-picture, macro questions. I’m editing/revising/rewriting about 10 Chapters of my draft book. My rewrite incorporates (what I consider) major graphic design elements, color and clip-art into my draft book. I’m considering both digital and printed versions of the book.    Valerie Kirschenbaum’s book “Goodbye Gutenberg” is my springboard for ideas. Her book considers a younger, ever-changing market to be more responsive to a designer-writer approach--authors who incorporate art, color and layout variety to enhance their written message. I imagine that now also includes audio and video for books!      I’m a Mac-user. I’ve been using Indesign and Photoshop for years, plus VERY simple projec

The first camera is a Sony Cybershot W830 20.1 megapixel 8X digital zoom that I got on ebay brand new for a paltry $100 USD. I bought it because my friend had one that he'd bought a year before for about $180 USD so I was able to benefit from seeing it function and the quality of the pictures...I was totally impressed with the images for such a small camera, it fits in the palm of my hand and slips easily into my shirt pocket completely hidden. The second camera is a Canon PowerShot SX700 HS 16.1 megapixel 30X digital zoom. I got this camera from the same friend as it had stopped working. He'd been keeping it in a dresser in it's original box. The original model he'd purchased was the PS SX280 which was frot with battery issues. To his frustration he returned that model twice to the point that Canon just upgraded him to the SX700 which also took a dump. To this day he hates anything Canon. After haggling with him he finally just gave it to me and wished me luck trying to make it work.

Why is Adobe Support so absolutely inefficient, sluggish and hugely frustrating? Anybody else feels the same way? Notice how they do not ask you to score their service? I wonder why![Title edited by moderator for brevity and because it was repeated in the body.].
