There’s no chatter about new muscular horsepower tools which plug into AC wall outlets.That makes sense, though. In June, Apple dazzled us with the iMac Pro teasers. Getting that very powerful toolbox onto desktops should not be confused by the introduction of other products. The iMac Pro will redefine the intense strength of an all-in-one desktop computer: https://www.apple.com/imac-pro/So, if you can edit a big motion picture production on the new iMac Pro, what else do you need? That’s a good question, but probably not one worth attempting to answer. How many people expected Apple to put monster power into a form factor usually reserved for classrooms and office cubicles. But, it did follow an HP introduction of an all-in-one with not only a great touch screen, but also a beautiful form with an impressive built-in Bang & Olufsen audio system.In April, Apple teased about a replacement for the Mac Pro, a potentially even bigger powerhouse than the iMac Pro.And, while the Mac Pro i

I apologize if this offends anyone.  That's not my intent.  Without getting political here, I wonder when art stops being regarded as art?   Who should make that decision?Stone Mountain Monument in Georgia is the largest high relief sculpture in the world.  It took 3 lead sculptors 20 years to complete the project.  The first sculptor was Gutzon Borglum who later left the project and went on to carve Mount Rushmore in South Dakota.This Memorial Carving, depicts three Confederates:  Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee and "Stonewall" Jackson.  The entire carved surface measures three-acres, towers 400 feet above the ground, measures 90 by 190 feet, and is recessed 42 feet into the mountain. Is this art?  Do you think this  carving  should be permanently erased or preserved for future generations?Nancy

Because OMG! Adobe MAX—The Creativity Conference. I also noticed that Pete Souza, former White House photographer will have a session. I think I have to miss it, though, because of a schedule conflict.I'm really excited to see who will play at the MAX Bash. I wonder if Adobe could get Imagine Dragons since they had the Adobe - Make the Cut video editing competition this spring. Even if it that's not who the band is, the Bash is always lots of fun!Who or what are you excited to see at Adobe MAX?

As a developer with many Flash based software, does Adobe know WHEN Chrome and Firefox will completely stop supporting Flash on their browsers? We've had many of our clients complain of the recent disabling of Flash on these 2 browsers and we easily had them reenable the plugin, but we are trying to plan for when these 2 browser vendors will completely block Flash. We've tried contacting Google Chrome and Firefox support but have not had any response from them as of yet.Any information would be helpful.Thank you,

Before I started this thread, and was playing with this in my head, I just wasn't getting anywhere, but after making the graphic below (specifically for this thread) and measuring the liquid content to each of the three level marks, I think I have worked it out, but I might as well run it by some of you young folk with still function brains. The graphic represents the reservoir from my Bex Bissell carpet stain cleaning machine.  The chemicals are fairly costly, but it is known that what they call the Oxidising Boost agent, is 5% dilution of Hydrogen Peroxide, and you can get it for a tiny fraction of the cost from the likes of eBay.  Except they only provide it in 3% dilution.  So I need to work out where to put the new mark.It uses 220cc of the H2O2, which I worked out to be 11cc of pure H2O2.Together with the 700cc of water, that's 11cc in 920cc , and I need to achieve that with my 3% dilution H2O2.I think it is actually really straight forward, but I would like to hea

On Monday, a partial eclipse will be visible throughout the United States beginning at 9:05 am PDT and ending 4:09 pm EDT.Is anyone making Eclipse plans?Have you seen a solar eclipse before?An estimated 12.2 million American's will be within driving distance of totality as the moon's shadow moves across the country from Oregon to South Carolina.   The Federal Highway Administration anticipates heavy traffic in totality zones before & after the event.   Drive safely.

The most energizing media technology talk of the day has to be the Nikon D850 details and availability for preorder.We talked to a few Nikon dealers, which stock professional gear, and they are reporting an extensive, and growing, waiting list for the D850.Even if you shoot with Canon or Sony you’ll find this inspirational, to see how Nikon Ambassadors are test driving the new camera:http://www.nikonusa.com/en/nikon-products/product/dslr-cameras/d850.html?icid=img_en_us:hp:banner:1:dslr:d850:082417:wwa

Hi all,I'm working an a second video essay for my philosophy of film course.  I ripped the blu-ray of "Boogie Nights" for it using the program CloneBD.  The film has three English language audio tracks that I ripped: the film's main audio and two separate commentaries.  I'd like to use some audio from the commentary track by the film's director, PT Anderson.  Unfortunately, when I import it, it has only two audio tracks.  The first one is the film's main audio, and the second one is both audio commentaries overlaid on one another.  Does anyone know if there's a way to import it with three audio tracks?  Is there a way to separate the two combined commentary tracks?  Any other ideas?

Can Adobe help me with 3D document creation from our CAD system? I want to create documents where by i can view a component and assembly and be able to manipulate the data so as to give clear assembly instructions. If you imagine like an IKEA instruction book but a bit more graphical.Thanks

For those who could not make it.Enjoy..........Jim

I would think I have enough years using Adobe products that I would be speaking at Adobe Conferences by now. I wonder where I went wrong?I must admit, I get a little bit of envy when I see all the Adobe leaders giving their talks about the great apps Adobe offers us.Given my age (I'm middle aged), and that I now work for a government agency, I wonder if I can ever become one of those Adobe speakers.

I can use Bayphoto for a 30x10 and cut but it would be simpler if this size were available somewhere.

I would love some input here... I need to get a new Laptop and am a casual user of Photoshop, Illustrator, and others.  I have my eye on the latest Microsoft Surface Book.. I am attracted to it because the pen functionality seems almost as good as an external drawing tablet (if not better?).  I also love the detachable screen which can be used as a tablet.   However, the price seems a bit much compared to HP or others that seem to have similar specs.I am a bit confused on if non-Microsoft laptops that are say "Made for Microsoft Ink" (where you purchase a Bamboo Pen separately) provide the same functionality within Adobe apps that the Microsoft Surface Boo (comes with its own pen) provides.   Can anyone comment to help me determine if I should go with the Microsoft Surface Book?I need to stay with Windows for compatibility reasons; Mac is not an option.Many thanks in advance!

Hello!I've been wanting to be Adobe Certified for a while and I was wondering if you had to take a specific/official online course in order to prepare for it? I also have access to Lynda.com, would those videos prepare me for the exam as well?Thanks.

Do people try to engage you in those conversations that, “Mobile phones are going to drive Canon, Nikon, and Sony into bankruptcy.”?Is it possible that the opposite is true? Are phone cameras, with all their limitations, helping the “big 3” sell more cameras, overall?Digital Single Lens Reflex (dSLR) camera and lens revenues are looking very good for Nikon. But, why are their imaging equipment sales trending downward?The most recent quarterly report from Nikon shows their dSLR camera sales up 10% with a 50% increase in lens sales.  The downward trend is in those little point and shoot cameras. So, yes, the smartphones have invaded some portion of the camera manufacturing marketplace. But, if dSLR sales are trending upward, there’s an apparent renewed interest in great photography. The fact that just about all of the dSLRs are also allowing users to shoot great feature film quality motion pictures may have something to do with that, too.This becomes a new business model focus (pun

Which application in Adobe's Creative suite would be most useful in creating both animated and static content for digital message boards(LED signs RGB)?  I know I can design in illustrator and export in various file types to create static images, wanted to know if there was an application for creating more elaborate motion graphics-T  Illustrator and InDesign

Here’s an interesting new direction on getting our military veterans the educational skills they need to transition into the private sector workforce. In this story, we learn that the GI Bill is now covering workforce education. It’s okay if you think, “What’s new about that?” To date the educational focus has been on degreed programs, which is a great thing. But, what many people do not realize is that our public colleges have three divisions: 1.) research, 2.) degreed programs, and 3.) workforce/continuing education. However, the GI Bill only covered the 2nd one of those three. So, our vets could get a Bachelors Degree in Journalism, but if they needed to take courses to become certified in the Adobe Premiere Pro video editing app, to get a job, that money had to come out of their own pockets. Let Jenna Bush’s story help you to understand more: https://www.today.com/money/coding-boot-camp-training-veterans-jobs-tech-industry-t115026
