- Still assumes "review" and a dogshit workflow. Job starts in email, then goes through adobe?i_monk
- Resistance is futile BUT I too hate that Adobe perceive ‘share for review’ to be a better way. I’ve used it with tech savvy clients BUT folks want a .pdf.ideaist
- Adobe should just integrate with email and “share” should just export the pdf and make the attachment in a new email.monospaced
- Creative teams could get approval internally with it. Could it really be that much worse than something like Wrike? I'd love to stop using pile of manure.CyBrainX

If you're a CC subscriber...just a tip if you haven't already done so. I went on to online chat the other day and basically said I wanted to cancel. You have to be prepared to push hard, which I did...said no to the small concessions they offered. When they switched me through to some other person, I was basically given 3 months free and a reduction in my subscription by around 40%. No strings...easy.

In relation to ^this, I think Adobe have realised what their saturation point is in terms of being able to extract coin each month.
I say this as I just today capitulated and went to sign up to Photoshop again as I just can't fucking do Affinity Photo because I can get done much quicker and better in PS than I can in that bloody thing.
Right there, without asking - 40% 'offer', so I now have the whole CC suite again, most of which I'll never personally use. Nd yes, in 12 month's time, the usual dance around the maypole on live support maintaining the same offer that I couldn't be bothered with last time.

Fuck adobe and fuck the cloud.
We had Adobe libraries forced on us by a dickhead at work because he was too lazy to follow basic file management practices. An update to the cloud app happened overnight and libraries are busted. Every job needs to be relinked from source files on the server.
I'd rather dig holes for a living than do this shit.
- it's time for the dickhead to come forwardoey_oey
- That dickhead will ruin you life before and after Adobe.CyBrainX

Adobe finally added the Adobe color picker to After Effects Colorama after a quarter century.

Why do i need to pay for an adobe stock membership on top of my adobe membership! I get paying for stock images, but why per month? A client sent me 7 images they want on adobe stock and now I'm going to have to subscribe just for those images. At least i will get the first month free, but i hate that everything is monthly bullshit now.
- btw if u don't use the images monthly, they add up but ONLY to 120 images total - after that, they just take the moneyz and you got 120 images forevergrafician
- ^the PM who thought of that needs a big raise and also to be put in the Punches For threadgrafician
- not to mention if your card on file expires or not enough cash on it, you CANNOT access even those 120 images/credits you have on file
it's literally extortiongrafician - The irony is that I milk the free with CC sub categories all-the-time! Especially vector images since those are easily repurposed.evilpeacock
- Another annoying thing is that 3D materials for Substance Designer are another payment on top of Adobe Stock.CyBrainX
- Yes, everything 3D - they have an entire suite of apps now - is a separate subscription and not cheap, with 2 tiers for 30 and 50 materials per monthgrafician
- Their materials are nice but that's not really worth it.CyBrainX

Send a client a CS4 Illustrator file and they got this error:
WTF Adobe, are you really trying to kill all Legacy files like you did with Flash.
This is kinda scary because that would mean the last 20+ years of files would be dead and Adobe just wiped out a massive chunk of history.
I hope this isn't where they are going to make sure the Stockholders get their cash.

For us motion geeks:
ACES color has been so confusing I never bothered with it until this week, even though I should have been. Maxon has done a great job keeping the engineering level color profile nonsense under the hood. After Effects is still a pain in the ass. Also, this won't work with Media Encoder. The software changes often, so here is a very recent tutorial for those of us using C4D/Redshift and After Effects.Just make sure your output module specifies "Output/Output - sRGB", not "Output/Output - sRGB (D60 sim.)" like he says at the end of the video.

It really boils my arse that substance isn’t included with creative suite’s “all apps” subscription. It’s another $20-50/mo on top of everything else. No attempt is made at explaining why.

I spent an hour last night creating some artwork in InDesign. Went to save the thing and no save box came up. Went to create a PDF - Nothing. Ended up having to quit InDesign and recreate. Amended some documents this morning, went to save, same thing happens. Fuck you Adobe.

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.

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

- 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
