3 Things I'm hoping to see in Illustrator CS6

1. Better Circle Algorithm
See Marc Edwards' article at http://bjango.com/articles/illustratorandappdesign/
2. Gradient Dithering
Photoshop is finally able to dither gradient layer styles so it can't be that far fetched. Again, Marc outlines this in his article.
3. Inner Shadows
Although I have fine tuned my workarounds to the Nth degree, it's still not as simple as photoshop. 1a would be to have the drop shadow setting produce the same result as Photoshop when using pixel measurements.
These 3 features plus the new pattern editor would (in my opinion) make Illustrator the best UI design tool currently available.

They don't list Layer style gradient dither in Photoshop's feature list, but it is in CS6. I don't have acces to Illustrator CS6 and would like to know if these features/issues have been addressed. Have searched high and low on the net to see if anyone has mentioned any of these things and have found nothing, hence me asking on the forum.
I wouldn't expect Adobe to put 'Now with better circles!' on the feature list.

Some things I'd like to see

I don't know if these have already been addressed or if there is some setting that I've overlooked but I'll list them anyway. Here are some things I'd like to see different in Safari:
1. "Save As..." or "Run". Not all files should go into one folder. Sometimes videos should go in its own folder, programs in another, as should pictures, etc. Also some programs have a file that needs to get ran in order for something else to get started. So there should be an option.
2. View video or pictures in the web browser. Sometimes people will post a link to a video or picture and instead of viewing them in the browser, Safari tries and downloads it. Now I have to open the folder, clear the download manager's entry of the file, view the file, delete the file, and then empty my recycle bin. What a hassle! I'm sure Safari can give some native support to Mov or M4V files at least.
3. Better website compatability. Even major sites like Chase for banking won't show up correctly because it didn't have Safari in mind but it shows up fine for IE or Firefox. I'd like to see some better code for that.
4. Ability to sort bookmarks by name. I have imported all my bookmarks from IE just fine. But if I want to reorganize my folder by dragging the folder and moving it between folders, it won't let me. Instead, it opens up the folder like I want to add it between them. I'd like to see some better interfolder organzing with drag and drop or a "sort by name" option.
5. This probably isn't a big one, but on some forums that have drop-down menus for searching (like forums), it just links down to a search box somewhere else on the page instead of providing the drop-down box.
I love many of the other features that Safari offers but there are a few quirks that need to be addressed, IMO.

Would it detect based on filetype, like .VIDEO?

I haven't experienced this. I prefer my movies to open in my movie player, so I can full-screen it and keep surfing. Pictures open in the browser for me, but I'm not right-clicking or anything special.
3. Better website compatability. Even major sites like Chase for banking won't show up correctly because it didn't have Safari in mind but it shows up fine for IE or Firefox. I'd like to see some better code for that.
Some websites require extra code to get the site to look like they wanted. This goes for ALL browsers. The web developers did not take Safari into mind, so they didn't program for strict CSS rules, or other things. However, as far as I can tell most sites work fine, they just "look" different. (Fonts look better imo.)
4. Ability to sort bookmarks by name. I have imported all my bookmarks from IE just fine. But if I want to reorganize my folder by dragging the folder and moving it between folders, it won't let me. Instead, it opens up the folder like I want to add it between them. I'd like to see some better interfolder organzing with drag and drop or a "sort by name" option.
Try Bookmarks -> Show All Bookmarks
5. This probably isn't a big one, but on some forums that have drop-down menus for searching (like forums), it just links down to a search box somewhere else on the page instead of providing the drop-down box.
Is that the website? Some websites default to simple controls if Safari doesn't work with the preferred control.

I bought Illustrator CS6 DVD for Mac OS but cannot see install.app file on disk. Anyone know how I install the program?

Adobe Illustrator CS6 disk bought for Mac OS but when I run the DVD the disk appears but there is no viewable install content. I can't see an install.app file and the program is not automatically running. Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong? Thanks.

Are you able at all to execute the install file manually?
You can always try downloading tye installation instead of using the disc. Your serial number from the disc will work for the download.

I am working through a tutorial based on Illustrator CS6, but I am using CS5. The tutorial requests that I open "Image Trace" but I don't see this function on CS5... please could you advise what the equivalent tool would be? Thank you!

I think in CS5, it was called "Live-Trace." Whatever it's called, it should become available on the options panel (the context-sensitive control panel at the top) when you select a trace-eligible raster image on your artboard.

Encore...things I'd like to see tweaked

Why do we like Encore? Primarily:
Does Bu-ray
It’s an Adobe product (which we trust and usually intuitively understand)
It works well with other Adobe products
It’s menus are cleaner and far easier to alter & customize than DVDsp.
But..
It disobeys several of the Adobe expected/intuitive operating principles found in other Adobe software:
doesn’t properly sort assets alphabetically ---and the way it sorts assets in the Project window is different from the Menu window
doesn’t automatically sort menu assets..you have to refresh the sort by clicking, for example, the name column twice
doesn’t allow to you to alter the name of an item by clicking, double-clicking or striking the return key while it’s selected in a list — it must be altered in the Properties palette onl —which isn’t intuitive or flexible
doesn’t allow you to create a menu by right clicking on an asset and choosing "new menu"--- which it should then create using that asset
I could be wrong but asking it to replace or locate an asset doesn’t usually work for me if it’s missing the asset..you have to “revert to original” before replacing or locating it...not intuitive
duplicating a menu asset creates a new menu which it throws in a different part and illogical part of the list
closing timlines leaves behind multiple empty timeline tabs rather than closing the tab itself in favour of another “full” tab; Command-W does not close them—rather you have to click the tiny “x” to close each one.Annoying.
it’s progress bars aren’t indicative of what is going on...for example: it may be copying media from one folder to a new one while saving a copy of of project but to you it looks like it has hung up
it doesn’t process/transcode items in a logical order ..making it harder to determine when the transcoding will be done
it’s not intuitive to “revert to original” a clip before re-transcoding it..you should be able to transcode it again if you wish at any time
When custo,izing a transcode setting and saving it...it should make that new setting the selected one of choice when you exit the window...you can easily assume, incorrectly, it has done so for you.
it’s not intuitive to forbid you to transcode something before using it as an asset —you should be able to at least override that after a warning or by un-checking a preference selection
it doesn’t automatically re-adjust a duration of a menu item if you replace it’s assets with one of a different duration (or at least warn you that the duration has changed) -- the only way to have the menu item readjust its duration is to pick-whip a totally different item and then pick-whip the correct one...take loads of extra time and could create a lot of mistakes
it should allow you to group items into folders & subfolders in the menus palette
doesn’t permit you to have motion menus larger than 1 gig...we use DVDs for show reels which allow us to use quicktime movies to act as a kind of fully-customizable Powerpoint or Keynote format (clicking enter advances to the next menu/movie --works pretty well!) and the 1-Gig-max rule is a huge drawback
doesn’t offer an infinite hold at the end of a menu or timeline item
And the error you receive when you open a project and it tells you it’s can’t open it because it has been created in a Windows program WHEN IT WASN’T is rather unforgiveable. That should have been corrected long ago and it keeps happening for no logical reason or without any apparent avoidable process
Disclaimer: if I'm wrong about anything & everything here..I'm thrilled to find out why and how to fix it.
All the above said..Adobe is my favourite company in the world.. they created "the standard" for good program design which is why I get frustrated when I see weird things in one app that don't exist at all in any of their others

Quite a list. Where to begin? I'll take a crack at it from the beginning...

The Project panel contains all the assets in the project: menus, timelines, slideshows, playlists, video/audio/still assets, etc.. You can sort by Name (alphabetically) and also by other properties of the assets such as Type, Duration, DVD Transcode Status, etc. by clicking the column headers to sort by the selected property. The Menus panel contains only menus, but you can also sort by Name, End Action, Aspect Ratio, etc.
Default behavior in the Project panel is to sort new objects in alphabetical order- if Name is the chosen sort method.

Not the only way. You can also right-click an asset and choose Rename, or choose Edit > Rename. But as you noted, Encore doesn't have inline editing for asset names.
adobefishman wrote:

That might be a nice enhancement request, but there are limitations: a motion menu can have only a single video and audio track. What happens if multiples of each is selected and you choose "New Menu"? The current method (opt-drag video into the menu, or drag audio in the menu) replaces any previously selected assets. Encore also has default menus and buttons in the Library, which are user-settable that are used when you choose "New Menu" or "New Button". Would those be ignored when you choose "New Menu/Button" with an asset selected?
There are solutions to all of those problem, but they don't add much value to the user once the user understands how to create motion menus in Encore. And the current implementation hasn't prevented very many from creating motion menus.
Personally, I don't see a tremendous amount of value in adding this functionality, but I'm just a fellow user.
adobefishman wrote:

You must mean in the Flowchart, right? There are two parts to the flowchart - the hierarchy of the disc (from First Play, to menus to buttons linked to timelines, etc.) and the orphanage, where unlinked assets go. If you duplicate a linked menu, where would you expect it to go? Since it's a new menu that's not linked to the disc hierarchy, it should go in the orphanage, yes? And then it can be linked.

Cmd-W works for me, as long as the timeline in the Timeline editor has focus. But it only closes the timeline, not the panel. There's a reason for this, though - if your settings are right, a single panel can hold multiple timelines, just as a single Menu editor panel can hold multiple menus. These are configurable in preferences. If you set your Timeline editor to a single panel containing multiple timelines, then Cmd-W closes the timelines without leaving the empty panel.

This blanket statement isn't universally true of all progress bars in Encore. Most times, progress bars are indicative of exactly what's going on.
adobefishman wrote:

Have you looked at the Progress panel? You can see the order there. Personally, I don't do any transcoding at build time, so I don't care what order it's in but if you do, that's the place to check it. You can stop transcoding here as well.
I'm going to stop here for now, but I'll probably take up the rest later tonight or tomorrow.

Things I'd love to see in Adobe Premiere Elements 10

Settings:
- Projects start up without presets
- Auto preset on import
Interface:
- Smooth Interface
- Eliminated unnessary tabs
- Streamlined Iconinterface
- Easy and Expert mode
- Cuttingtool is easier to use
Technically:
- 64 bit support for Microsoft Windows 7
- Mercury Playback Engine
I teach students how to edit. We chose Elements because it was easier than Pro, but it seems more and more complex by each update...What would you like?
I am having trouble with the many icons that are scattered all over the place. Below the previewwindow, on top of the timeline, left, right, everywhere. Some icons looking almost identical and the menu...I mean the TAB, it's just asking for trouble.
There is the T icon, then there a Title's tab. Students many times mistake one for another. The TAB's. Sure, There are only 5 icons per TAB. So why not streamline it. There are tabcolors already. Please expand that concept. Make mini-icons for the subtab options (5 per tab. Color them the same color as their parentTAB. Then ....Remove the TAB and align the icons next or below each other. A user can then directly click on EFFECTS instead of having to navigate to TAB-EDIT then TAB EFFECTS. Same goes for the import-option. Why o Why must their be so many levels of navigation. Just add the import-icon to the PARENT level and then make it expand when users/click on it. Users can then directly click on FROM DV-CAM (for example) without ever opening a TAB. It's just a ONE click proces. In this process you can create easy catagories and even place the SAVE and UNDO options into your icons Toolset, just under a different color.
In the end you'll only have a very clean interface. Previewwindow including playmechanics, Timelines with only the most basic icons like the scissor. (removing or hiding all the eyecandy effects ontop of the timelines). Your Toolset(all projectmanagement icons in 1 place) and the projectmanager. I'll draw an updated interface when I am done here. Update soon.

Well, Project Presets have been around for a decade. Now, in PrPro CS4, they were related to the Sequence, and not the whole Project, as is still the situation in PrE, as it has no Sequences (think mini-Projects inside a single Project). As of PrPro CS5, there was a new possibility. One could create a Project, with no Presets, and then Import Assets. All one had to do to create a Sequence was to drag one of the Assets to the New Icon, and then a matching Sequence would be created. This saved a lot of note taking.
Also, with MPE, PrPro CS 5 and CS 5.5, allow one to mix footage, and that makes things easier.
What PrPro has had, and for many versions, is the Desktop/Custom Preset, that allows one to change almost all attributes. I have filed Feature Requests for that in PrE, but so far, it has not shown up.
I do not expect to see MPE in PrE, but might be surprised. Same for 64-bit architecture, at least not yet.
Remember, PrE is a US $ 100 program, and PrPro costs 6x more, so one should expect something for those extra $'s.
Good luck, and PrE 10 should be here within about 4 -6 weeks, and then we can all see what it entails.

Things I would like to see in the next n95 8gb upd...

1) Saved camera settings (Really..how hard is that?)
2) Fixed video camera stutter (Didn't see it on the list of updates)
3) When texting groups whose members have more than 1 number, it would be nice if I could set a default instead of having to choose every time I do a group text.
4) ASR that can rotate to the right too
5) Nokia maps always tells me to turn in the wrong direction on the last turn
6) You know how by default, you can make it so your contacts displays "First Name" then "Last Name"? Is there a way to make it display it like that for the rest of the phone (texting, etc)? If not, then I want it fixed =)
7) A way to make it vibrate twice on "Silent" setting
My first Nokia phone and I love it, but why does it feel like I paid $640 to be a beta tester? There are so many features that should have been included with the release of the phone

4) ASR that can rotate to the right too
Now the new firmware 20.0.016 allows it.Well,New phones you do have to let the admins, or technician to figure out and then let them configure it.It's good that your voicing out for other people too.
Also i would wanna to have a function where the phone can switch off the camera's shutter sound

So I installed photoshop cc on the creative cloud thing. Now how do I open it? It has the list of apps on the browser thing and I don't see photoshop cc anywhere..

Help. Photoshop newbie.

OK, with windows 8.1 the apps are not automatically on the start page. At the bottom of the page you should see a downward arrow. Click on that to bring up all the apps installed on your computer. You can right click on photoshop to pin it to the start page or the desktop taskbar. In any of these places you can click on it or double click on it to run photoshop.
If you do not see photoshop listed under the adobe apps in the all apps page, then odds are it is not installed or was installed incorrectly.
If you need more help let us know.

Why do I see my password when typing it to check my email on my ipad? I think that that is a terrible thing if a hacker is seeing your screen, especially

Has anybody noticed that when you type your password to check your email on Ipad, you can read it?
How about all the hackers prowling around, don't they see it also? This is a terrible flaw on Apple!

Because it is easy to mistype. Also, if the person can see what you typed, they can see what key you touched.

Three things I would like to see in Flash Catalyst.

1. I would REALLY like a way to edit the code in Flash Catalyst. If Adobe doesn't figure this one out, they will lose a lot of business. I'm not going to buy an other product like Flex just so I can edit the code. I'm sure I'm not the only one, but once in a while, designers need to edit some code.
2. It would be nice if I could just double click groups or layers to edit them (like in Flash an illustrator). Currently, it is very painful having to dig through groups and layers just to edit an object. This is a real time waster and it can add several hours on to a small project.
3. Effects. I know you can add drop shadows and glows to objects in Photoshop and Illustrator, but is the a way to do these in Catalyst? That would be nice to have.
Thoughts?

Thank you for the feedback. Let me respond to each of your suggestions:
1. Code editing
We certainly recognize the value of editing code in Catalyst and recognize that designers as well as developers want to edit their code. Being about to robustly round trip code in Catalyst is a feature that we plan to address in a later version of Catalyst.
2. Editing in place/isolation mode on groups
I agree that this is a real time saver by making selections and editing much faster. For now, a work-around that may work for some artwork is to convert it to a custom component so that it can be edited in isolation. I recognize this is a trade off. If you convert artwork to a component then you can edit in place, but you won't be able to use the white arrow selection tool to "reach" into the component when you are not editing in place
3. Applying effects to artwork in Catalyst
Coming in the next beta release :-)

TS3376 How can I turn off the passcode thing? I can barely see some of the print, by the way.

I cannot turn off the passcode feature on my iPad 2. I have done what they say, it says it's off, I got an email that says I am no longer protected, but the horrid passcode that comes constantly is still there. Ready to throw it away, and was previously addicted.

Are you sure that it is still asking for a passcode and not for your SIM PIN which looks very similar?

I have the sort of old macBook that is black and lately it has been taking a really long time to load things and to pull applications up? does anyone have suggestions of things i can do to see if they will work?
