So now Adobe fonts can only be activated through that bloated Creative Corpse app? The one that wets the bed when you try and quit it and uses more CPU than After Effects just to sit there like a cunt.
1. Search fonts on the website.
2. Add fonts to the CC app.
3. Leave website.
4. Open the CC app (hang on, updating...)
5. Find the tiny f for fonts (so clever).
6. Activate fonts.
7. Find another font? Back to #1.UX vs Get Fucked.
- They need a complete UI/UX overhaul across all programs.i_monk
- They do. I appreciate that complex software has a learning curve and will have quirks to adopt/understand, but so many of these changes are just fuckery.MrT
- Ps, Ae & Ai at their cores are the same software as 20 years ago - but with a load of whatever was trendy that year added in. All conflicting ux/ui.shapesalad
- fucking adobe have been ripping people off for years, charging the earth for basically fuck all improvement.hans_glib
- I still refuse to use Adobe Fonts. Prefer to run my own font manager and library of local fonts. Fugg em!sab

has anyone else found it more difficult to click and drag paths or lines in illustrator? I put the cursor directly on the line to move it and it doesn't select it. I have to actually click just off the line to move it.
- It's been happening to me lately too, Thought it might be a buggy Waacom driver.koma_
- you need latest AI and latest mac. Older Mac versions are shit. Even latest on old mac is shit.shapesalad
- Yes I have that issue.
I have an M1 & OS13.4HAYZ1LLLA - I'm definitely not on a new macbook pro (2019), but am on a new AI. It's not the biggest deal, but does piss me off enough to complain.capn_ron

- Ugh, yes. 3D camera track also stopped working in latest AE. Hate being reliant on Adobe flakiness.MrT
- < This issue is as old as the program. I don't know what causes it but I'd probably want to lower the resolution of a comp render once a year.CyBrainX
- I was ready to batter fuck out of after effects last week. Then get on. plane and batter some programmers in Adobe land for ruining my weekendPhanLo
- It's insignificant. Once you hit ok - see your comp window, lower left, resolution - it's just the working resolution. When you export, typically your settingshapesalad
- are at best quality.shapesalad
- I almost always work with (Auto) resolution for the comp window, which usually means I'm at 50%. This rarely happens but when it does, I waste a lot of time.CyBrainX
- but it doesnt affect output at all. that's in your export settings. don't worry about it.shapesalad

Found the solution to that memory leak issue. Deleting the preferences sorted it. Adobe were fucking useless on the forums.

I have to reset my workspace in Illustrator and PS nearly every time I launch the program or wake the computer. It shifts everything around like it's been running on a much smaller monitor, and randomly hides the toolbar sometimes. InDesign doesn't seem to have this issue.
- SameGnash
- I have a 32" display and all my toolbars that I have open play hide and seek every time that I engage with the Adobe apps.utopian
- 32" here too.i_monk
- Same shit here too... including inDesign.PonyBoy
- Same. It makes me want to cry. Twice a day, every fucking day moving the palettes back. Ilus, InD & PS!HAYZ1LLLA

damn, so in the latest PS beta they removed the ability to remove Getty watermarks. That was one of the most useful uses of this to do some test & pitch layouts without the nasty watermarks.
- Ho could they prevent the retouch brush or clone tool from working?CyBrainX
- The same way you can’t scan currency. *magic*imbecile
- ghetty uses a digital watermark embedded in the jpeg code, they alter pixels in makroblocks all over the images. they have crawlers online who look for thoseuan
- human perception doesn't see them, but computers and specially industry software does.
the visual is only there to remember to buy them before publishing.uan - ^damn. I guess there can be copyrights enforced...formed

Anyone using a M1 Macbook had a 'Your system has run out of application memory' warning while using after effects?
Was getting all the final clips together I'd rendered out in Blender smooth as fuuuuuuck then comping them together in After Effects, then it just decided to use up 198 gigs of memory on my machine and take ages to render even the simplest of clips.
Ended up missing seeing Max Cooper up til 4am doing renders and drove home from the studio in full sunshine.
Seems it's a common issue.
It's been mad doing loads of node based loops in Blender that run super fast and easy and After Effects still fucking struggle even on a super fast machine.
Total pain in the balls- is your cache full? i cleared out 540gb last week, magically the warnings went away.imbecile
- I have a limit of 92gb in the cache and do regular cleans, it's been fine until yesterday, but seems it happens...
540 gig!?!PhanLo - https://community.ad…PhanLo
- i was surprised myself. I was ready to buy an ext hdd thinking i'd filled it up with work but after checking the client volume i knew something was amissimbecile
- I use AE weekly and haven't had that issue, though. fingers crossedimbecile
- I'm hoping I can find a fix, I do wonder if it's maybe some of the codecs from the Blender renders that are messing with the files.PhanLo
- One guy in that thread replaced his motherboard thinking it was his machine. OoyahPhanLo
- I think it might have been some of the large amount of layers in 4K, but I'll do some testsPhanLo
- I regularly go over 500GB of cache on dedicated scratch drive. AE does get janky when it's that large, probably an indexing thing.evilpeacock
- yeah, was constantly restarting on the last project i did, was far worse in the previous version of AE but still get it occasionallykingsteven
- Had the same with an M1 Laptop. Posted a couple pages back. Stopped when I started using an Ex-SSD to handle Cache.HAYZ1LLLA

Is it just me that this happens to?: Every once in a while, Illustrator forgets how to use a keyboard shortcut to copy something. It'll quite happily accept the copy option from the menu, and will quite happily paste and paste in place with the keyboard shortcuts.. it just won't copy using them. I've got a few files loaded in, each with a custom print setup applied, so it's actually a wee bit of a pain in the arse to quit and start again, which is the obvious solution, but fffffs.nnnngh

"MOSCOW, May 30. /TASS/. The American developer of software for working with graphics and video Adobe automatically renews licenses for free for users in the Russian Federation due to the difficulties of paying with Russian bank cards. This was reported to TASS by sources who managed to renew licenses without payment.
"User licenses purchased through the official Adobe online store have an option to auto-renew after linking the card. The free renewal may be presented as a gift to those customers who currently cannot use the card to pay abroad, to maintain loyalty and maintain their users during a difficult period," said an employee of one of the Russian IT companies. He stressed that for corporate licenses that are sold through official resellers, auto-renewal is not provided.£

- got the new beta update, now working for me too. some really good stuff but also not so good results when generating certain things (especially people)NBQ00
- this is madIanbolton
- Yeah it’s amazing at certain things and not so great at others but I love that it’s all in photoshop and it’ll only get better_niko
- The generative fill maximum resolution is only 1024×1024 pixels, well that sucks!utopian

Every time i go to replace fonts in Illustrator and InDesign i get so frustrated with the tiny GUI that pops up to search and replace. It's so unhelpful yet surely so easy to fix. First world problems i know, but it's been like this for years and it could be so much more intuitive.
Thanks, and Fuck You Adobe!
- This goes waaaaay back; Must be tied to some API that they're afraid to touch or something.evilpeacock
- Yeah, that's a paint in the balls that. Used to be completely fine. WhyyyyYYYYY!?!PhanLo
- Using FontExplorer X Pro simplified this. what's left?oey_oey

I must give praise to Adobe for something: which is the new 3D tool in Illustrator. The ability to render text with raytracing and nice shadows on the floor is pretty nice. Saves me a lot of time not having to do it in a 3D app.
