A Manual for Muse ... by any chance

I've just downloaded the trial version of Muse. It looks like it might be a great program BUT ... if Adobe can't be bothered to produce a manual then I'm not interested. If creating a good manual -- something Adobe has generally been excellent with -- is too much trouble, then forget getting me as a cloud customer. I'm running a business and don't have time to spend hours looking at videos or searching for the "how to". With a good manual you can find out how, for example, to insert an image in a couple of minutes. ... BUT, can't see how to do that in Muse ... can't even see how to add a text block.
Sorry, Adobe ... if it's too much trouble to produce a decent manual you're showing all the signs of going down the path of monopolistic IT companies and just sticking the finger up at your customers.
It's bad enough that you price gouge your Australian customers ... for NO GOOD REASON ... but now you are just insulting ALL your customers.

Fair point, IanDK
It's true that producing a manual of Adobe's usual thoroughness and quality would be challenging while still developing the product; however, something relatively simple to help a novice would have been nice. Time is the issue predominantly: watching videos and searching for tutorials takes far more time than quickly referring to a well-constructed manual.
Buying a book at this stage isn't really the answer as I'm trying to trial the product. After two challenging years financially, spending money before being assured some value from the expenditure isn't an option at the moment.
I think I had some simmering reaction to the revelation of just how much more we pay for Adobe products in Australia. You might not be aware that Adobe's CEO along with those from other US companies (Apple, Microsoft) were called before our government to explain why the products are so much more expensive here. In the old days of shipping them out by sailboat, there might have been an excuse (e.g. freight, threat of pirates at sea, etc.), but in the days of download it seems the higher prices here are simply because they can charge them. It's discriminatory (i.e. it makes it harder for us to compete financially) and in plain human terms it just doesn't seem like a nice thing to do. (But, when did any large company set out to be nice?)
So, I'm not sure what an "entitled threat" is, but maybe I've answered your concerns more moderately. We do pay more here, and the annoyance of that perhaps led to the use of some intemperate language.
I have to add though, that I've always been and, so far, remain a great champion for Adobe products (if not always for the way the company operates). I regularly try to point out to clients how much simpler layout work is in InDesign, for example, than in a certain well-known word processer application.

  • Where can I download a manual for MUSE? Everytime I do a query it puts me to the online version. I want one I can hold.

    @@@

    There is no 'manual' for muse other than the online one. There are some great books available though such as Adobe Muse CC Classroom in a Book (2014 release)

  • Vanishing point for camera matching: any chance it's been tuned up to function?

    I've been trying to use the VP tool in CS5 to do some camera matching work for 3dsMax. The potential is huge - it is really intuitive and fast to set up in Photoshop, but the exports never seem to work right. The cameras do not line up properly when loaded into Max, or the planes are all over the place (upside down etc) and it only seems to export one grid, no matter how many I've made in VP.
    It's a great tool for quick fixes inside Photoshop, but exports seem largely useless right now - so wondering if this is something that is getting a tune-up for CS6, or has anyone figured out how to get something more functional out of CS5?
    /b

    I should have been more clear: the *expot to 3ds* funcion does not work as designed. I agree VP works well within Photoshop, but why have an export option at all if it is not meant to be useful in other 3D programs?  In any case, reference measures are not critical to the process as long as things are kept consistent, and in fact you can enter a base measure in VP too (although it's of limited value without knowing what the units of measure are, or being able to adjust them).
    I'm aware of Syntheyes and the tools within Max, but VP offers a very simple and effective way to do this if only it could output a 3DS that actually matched what you see in Photoshop. Clearly it's able to generate the required data to make it work within there - it really just looks like somethign with the export/conversion rather than the core algorithms etc.

  • Css styles listing for modules by any chance?

    hi guys I'm finding the amount of css code inside the modules style list over whelming has any one gone to the trouble of making a list for people like me to be able to easily find the right css for the right module.
    For example yesterday some one had to point out the code for the cart summary box was line 520! is there a list to tell me were all the code for the announcement module starts and finishes? Over wise its not a very speedy process and I thought web designing was meant to be more geared to time management these days

    Hi there,
    Easiest way is to use Firebug - a plugin for Firefox.  Once installed, browse to the page required then click F12 which will open Firebug. Top left of the Firebug panel, click the second icon to select an element on the page, select an element and, ensuring you have HTML selected, you will see the css, including file and line numbers, for the relevant element.  Hit me up on Skype if you want me to show you via share screen - graphitewebsolutions.
    Cheers

  • I like Firefox Home on my iPhone and iPad. I'd like to use the big screen on the iPad to better advavntage with an app specific for this. Any chance this is in the works?Y

    Will there be' an iPad version of Firefox home?

    The Belgium 4G networks supported by the iPhone 5 are Mobistar and Telenet.  The other carriers's networks have yet to be approved by Apple.    Perhaps their networks are not up to Apple's standards and again, perhaps, the approval will come in the future.
    In the meantime, you can only receive 4G services from either Mobistar or Telenet.

    You an use your iPhone without connecting it to a computer.
    But the product description for the iPhone clearly states that in order to sync with a Mac you must have OSX 10.6.8 or later. That version of the OSX is usually called Snow Leopard. There are two mo recent versions of OSX. OSX 10.7.x (Lion) and OSX 10.8.x (Mountain Lion).
    If you can upgrade your computer to at least Snow Leopard I suggest you do so.

  • For printer LaserJet Profession​al CM1410 any chance to set printing password for windows and MAC

    Dear All
    for printer  LaserJet Professional CM1410 any chance to set printing password for windows and MAC?please help?

    What Windows OS are you using?  Are you networked?
    If you are networked, you have to setup your file and print sharing options in order to require password assess.  If you are just trying to control specific files from being printed, you can do that, too.
    If you are just trying to control the amount of printing off of a single PC with a printer, you could setup different accounts for each user and limit their access. 
    Some of the commercial printers can have password options, but I do not find any password options for the CM 1410, other than what I provided earlier.
    If I have been helpful, a Kudo is always appreciated.

  • Any chance of YUM repo for PHP

    Oracle has quite a few PHP5 rpm packages for RH EL 5.x on

    Is there any chance of turning this into a yum repository? I think it would be extremely useful.

You would need to subscribe to the "addons" channel for this.

    HI All
    I dropped my phone in water
    Is there any chance of getting it going again
    I have nothing working at the moment

    Unfortunately water damage is not covered by any warranty, however, try placing the iPhone in a zip lock bag of dried rice for approximately 5 days, resist the urge to turn to it back on.  There is no guarantee and it maybe beyond saving but worth a try.  If that doesn't work you could contact Apple for an out of warranty replacement.

    Hi ThaPlaya,
    I feel your pain. I am in charge of over 250 PCs and laptops. Flash Player stopped working for me after an update. I have been working on this issue non-stop since the middle of October, 2012. It's time-consuming, and even after applying the latest Flash update, it still doesn't work properly.
    I am beyond frustrated! I have people calling me left and right saying that they can't access content. I have been using this site https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ to try and do a browser plug-in check while in IE an dFirefox. Even after I update all plug-ins, Flash still works about half the time.
    For instance, the principal of the middle and high school wanted to view an online magazine http://upfront.scholastic.com/issues/12_10_12, about 3 pages load on this site. The rest continue to say LOADING. When I right-click on a page and then left-click on ABOUT ADOBE 11.5.502.110, it seems I am using the most up-to-date version for IE and Firefox.
    Students are trying to access sumdog.com and stmath.com, both run using Flash. STMath is now working a bit better because I allowed some exceptions in our internet content filtering appliance, and in our firewall, sumdog still works half the time.
    If Adobe is going to update their browser plug-ins, they need to test and retest before giving the public access. This situation is causing me a ton of problems!

    Any chance someone could make a Safari Extension similar to Facebook Photo Zoom for eBay?
    >> It would be a great help while browsing, Thanks!

    It's not the router.
    I have several pre-Intel Macs with 10.4.11 and most were fairly fast machines in their day. We also have 50MBps cable internet. All our G-series Macs are "dial-up sluggish" with anything on the web regardless of browser, yet running a download speed test shows they a connecting at a fast rate.
    Watch the browser status bar during page loads--I think there is a clue there. All the bacjground ad sharing and tracking stuff---google analytics is a heavy hitter--are apparently not optimized for the G-series and much of what you are waiting on is that type of third-party dreck phoning home. You can't fix it--web developers embed this stuff. Money, ya know!
    The browser TenFour Fox tend to stall less than Safari or FireFox on the older Macs. It somehow tricks websites to seeing it as an Intel Mac version of FireFox. Still not blazing fast but a big improvment.
