Why don't Pantone libraries stay updated? I'm finding a bunch of swatches just don't exist in the default PANTONE+ Solid Coated library but are valid numbers on the Pantone site and elsewhere.
- more of a fuck pantone thingimbecile
- Those are too well hidden and unimportant to updategrafician
- You have to download updated library files from Pantone's site or their Color Manager software. Adobe doesn't update them.evilpeacock
- ^ that and adobe begrudgingly pays them royaltiesGnash
- Nobody likes paying for Pantone libraries; My previous employer liked to use the same books for 10 years.evilpeacock
- ^ lol, same. Finally bought my own set, but the same one for 6Gnash
- My Pantone books are in a pleather case from 1996. MrsT now uses it as a yoga block.MrT
- My pantone book has inexplicably faded around the edges despite having been dutifully kept in the dark for ever. Sus.Nairn
- Light finds a wayGnash
- I put mine in a box, inside of a box, and then hide them away in the closet. Not paying 285.00 per year to that org. Architects don't pay for paint selectorsJosev

I still can't believe After Effects can't have 2 or more app-windows open with completely different projects. It's 2020. Jesus. We're not end of 90's or early 2000's where the CPU/ Ram couldn't handle it.
This is so fucking annoying. No don't tell me to import projects into projects because sometimes the projects/ clients aren't related at all.
This is just incredible.
- Obv Adobe thinks you're rich if you do AE projects and use one computer for each client project...grafician
- More computers, more subscriptions, more money for them [insert that "smart" meme"]grafician
- You an do. First you just google "open two instances of after effects". Which I just did. Without even opening any results, google gives you the way, which is:shapesalad
- Right click on AE app in applications folder> Show in Package contents > Contents > MacOS > After Effects (unix exe) – Double click to run.shapesalad
- This is just incredible - I now have two instances of AE open...shapesalad
- That's a stupid problem but what's worse is not being able to copy a few layers or a comp and paste into a different project file.CyBrainX

Trying to shoot tethered in Lightroom Classic because I'm scanning film with a DSLR.
Recently purchased a new subscription to Adobe (lost my job, so...). Suddenly Lightroom Classic will not connect to camera, it just hangs. Contacted customer support, they put me on hold for 20 minutes while they looked into it "we've been having an issue with tethering".
"I will look into this tomorrow can I get back to you"
"Ok, we can give you three months free while you wait for an update."
"Maybe you should try (regular) Lightroom that might work."
They can't even keep tethering working? And they want me to trust my images to their cloud?! Hahahaha as if, Adobe. I wasn't born yesterday.
- If you're willing to try an alternative I'd try Capture One; It's a bit to learn and get used to, but overall is more powerful than Lightroom.evilpeacock
- Capture One is the best for tethering.grafician
- Capture One is best. 30days for free.Morning_star
- I use a brilliant plugin called Negative Lab Pro for converting negative scans. Only works in LR. Don't really want to run a separate full app for tethering.********

Adobe is down World wide....
Thanks Adobe
- no it's notBluejam
- I couldn’t log into my libraries for a short whileGnash
- Many people were having trouble this afternoon at my work, and it was documented on the web, sorry bluejamBennn
- Why entrust your files to Adobe cloud?!grafician
- ^ my libraries live on there - great for access from anywhere. And sharing with clientsGnash
- ^Yeah, no. Send, not share. "Asset management".grafician
- DON’T TELL ME WHAT TO DO !Gnash

Am I missing something here? I've been offered a couple of options...first, which they call the "Best offer" will same me $87.98.
But the second option is to reduce my monthly bill to $21.99 for 12 months. Isn't that a $264 saving over 12 months?
Am I going nuts? I gather it's the exact same plan.
- hey, let's talkBennn
- One plan doesn’t require a 12 month commitment********
- Is my guess?********
- They said no committment. But the discount was off the full price...so about $15 cheaper per month. They did offer me 3 free months so I took that.BusterBoy
- And to re-negotiate a discount come September.BusterBoy

I've got a new job and we are sharing computers... So yeah, no problems, I just need to log in my Adobe account and my settings and workspace will sync.
Right?
Right? ...
No. Because :
''Important: Sync Settings is no longer available in the current versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign.''
WHY THE HELL ADOBE? WHY ?
- That feature hasn't worked for me for years. I gave up on it.evilpeacock

Geezuz christ!
I plugged a second monitor on my PC recently and since then Photoshop won't recognized/remember the preferences of my Wacom tablet abou the mapping of the screen.... Even I set to map only Screen1, Photoshop map the entire Screen1 and Screen2 surface!! Wich make it impossible to draw! The mapping is ok everywhere in any app but not in Photoshop...
I was about to make an illustration, now i just lost 45min trying to fix this and I havent done any work yet and the the day is almost over.. Fuck you Adobe!
- Have you tried disabling/enabling windows ink?zarkonite
- i'Ve found a way in an article on the topicBennn
- In situations like this I have always found the Wacom to be the source of the problem. Any hardware change and the drivers shit the bed.face_melter
- shapesalad0
Illustrator.... the source of all my grey hair.
• When zooming in, you click a few times, zooms in, then one more click and suddenly you've crash zoomed in to like 160000%
• There's no ability to recolour your artwork simply, say bump the contrast etc, adjust levels. sure it adds it as photoshop like filter and pixelates and fucks it all up. But why the cunt of a recolour tool isn't better, with it stupid tiny sliders and UI from 20 years ago....
- Bluejam3
- could it get any simpler? Next it'll just be P, X, A etc for the names. Then next version, just single colour blocks....shapesalad
- and finally invisible icons... and you just got to feel it to open photoshop. Will it to open.shapesalad
- Those Acrobat icons tho'grafician
- Acrobat doesn't care to fit into this World. Acrobat do his own shit.Bennn
- I find these refreshing, BUT I only have Ai, Id & Ps...
...MAYBE a touch thick typographically.ideaist - put icons in this order: Br Ai Ae Ps to spell Braiaeps.shapesalad
- It's growing on me. Kinda like it better than current ones.NBQ00
- Looks terrible next to non Adobe icons IMO. Harder to make out esp in dark mode.yuekit
- dreamweaver has always been green, why fuck with it?_niko
- So they’re cutting extraneous shit from the icons but adding it to the apps. Nice.MrT
- Unless there is some sort of new style guide from Apple, why are they changing the icons every six months anyway? I didn't mind the last ones.yuekit
- My theory is that the Acrobat icons are like that to please Windows users. Windows icons are square right? There you have it!grafician

Getting very close to sacking off Adobe completely, has anyone done this successfully? How is it working with other people, file sharing etc? Any issues with compatibility?
- No good replacement for InDesign********
- i like affinity publisher but i doubt it's compatible.hans_glib
- You can only do this if you're a freelancer and works good for one-off projects. If you work with other teams, you need a subscription again fuuuuugrafician
- +1 grafMrT
- I would flat out refuse to work with youProjectile
- OK. Call me old-fashioned but some form of offer is typically a prerequisite for refusal.MrT
- No good replacement for InDesign

Make. Align to selection. Standard. Again. Always.
Now.
- Huh?!grafician
- Yeah make the Dutch version the standardpseud
- Save a template with all your settings set as you want them?Nairn
- if you only have one thing selected, it should automatically align to canvasProjectile

Anyone getting a "ghosting" of the image in the new Photoshop? Even if I just select a layer and move it it will "duplicate" in the background even though there's no new layer.
- haven't saw that yet no, iam on PCBennn
- nopefadein11
- I had something similar, a layer I turned off remained on the screen even after sooming and rotating the canvas. I changed GPU settings and restarted, been fineface_melter
- *zoomingface_melter
- Yeah, I've been seeing that. The new Photoshop is a turd.MondoMorphic

- Hey Moderators, I'm convinced no one's recent comments are showing in this thread. We need this thread for our sanity.CyBrainX

All of this being said, I feel Adobe is at least attempting to step their game up (I assume stricly based on THIS thread).
My wife is using my old Mac Pro, which can't even run the new Mac OS's, BUT Adobe updated to the most recent release and it sings.
+ 1 for Adobe, BUT I feel they're still in the negative(s).
: )
- stricly = strickly; edit to post QBN overlords?!ideaist
- Since we now know they've been working on getting ready for Apple Silicon/ARM, they're getting more adjusted to Metal, which runs better on "old" Macs.evilpeacock
- My Mac Pro is the first to NOT support metal due to thee graphics card; was going to upgrade the card, BUT now that I know they're switching architecture...ideaist
- thee = the!!! DAMN!!!ideaist
- I have a Mac Pro 5,1 with upgraded everything: RAM, GPU, SSD, USB3, CPUs and it still gets the job done.evilpeacock
- I figure the GPU I have now will always work in a tower or eGPU box when I move on. Win/win.evilpeacock
- lol the typos. If the overlords allowed edits, there's no telling how badly that function would be abused. Certain shitheads would say something incendiary..garbage
- ..then change it immediately after they got a reaction. It would be another tool for the trolls.garbage

Adobe Dimension = Drained my Laptop Battery in 14 mins !
fans spinning like crazy .. . . .I just plugged it in and there's not enough power to charge it up - just sits on 0% ---
- ADOBE 1 _me_ 0AQUTE
- Quite! Aqute_me_
- There's a *lot* going on in Dimension that they hide behind the UI, it's a dumber version of Vray RT which just eats resources.face_melter

In After Effects, why can't I put an expression on the gradient colors property??
This applies to shape layers, layer styles and anywhere else a gradient exists.I can put an expression on everything else in the universe. Why this one restriction?
- What about the effects—Ramp or 4-color grad? You can with those...?MrT
