Adobe Cuts Workforce ~ 680 Join the Breadlines...

A short brief announcement can be found here:
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Adobe-to-cut-about-680-apf-3676508486.html?x=0&sec=topStorie s&pos=2&asset=&ccode=

Hunt, don't panic just yet, it's just a sign of the times.
We see it all the time, there is absolutely no loyalty left with American corporations, especially the larger ones.
Everything revolves around the bottom line and shareholder equity.
It has nothing to do with retaining a seasoned, well educated workforce, but how do we cut costs to the bare minimum, and let those affected fend for themselves.
I'm not singling out Adobe with this rant, as this is the mentality of American capitalism.
Many would say that the alternative to this (socialism or communism) would be worst.
Tell that to the poor individual who just got axed...

  • Not getting the Connect to join the shared review notice in Adobe Reader 9

    I click on my e-mail and entering Shared review but I am not getting the Adobe Acrobat Shared Review Window
    that asks me to click to connect to join the Shared Review

    There's not really anything you can do with just Reader. The creator of the form set it up to behave this way, by intention or not. It could have been set up so that a user is unable to enter more text than can be displayed in the area defined for the field, and that the font size would automatically decrease as the limit is reached, down to a minimum size of 4. If you know who created the form, you may be able to request a new version.

  • Why doesn't adobe just join the AAF/Turakiri/Incommon and accept Institution credentials?

    Why doesn't adobe just join the AAF/Turakiri/Incommon and accept Institution credentials?
    I'm just going through the academic purchase process. Talk about inefficient.
    Australia and New Zealand have established Access Federations which allow students and staff to use their own institutional credentials to log into web applications.
    Almost all universities and a lot of polytechs have joined these Access Federations.
    Adobe would be better off enabling federated login to prove that staff and students are who they say they are rather than use the current antique approach to validating memberships of insitutions.
    Go see www.aaf.edu.au or tuakiri.ac.nz

    Thanks for the suggestion Timu. I will pass it on.

  • How do I turn off the alt scroll zoom?  When I'm in Adobe photoshop and illustrator using the pen tool, alt is utilized for another short cut.  I would like to use the alt command for the pen tool instead of zooming into the screen.

    How do I turn off the alt scroll zoom? 
    When I'm in Adobe photoshop and illustrator using the pen tool, alt is utilized for another short cut.  I would like to use the alt command for the pen tool instead of zooming into the screen.

    I tend to select things from left to right and every time I am moving in a downward right diagonal motion during lasso selection I am missing a clear view and I am tending to have a more sloppy selection.  All this does is slow me down since I need to go back and hit those areas again.  The big arrowhead just get's in the way.  The original lasso tool with the thin line and small active point at it's lower left was far better for me.
    I don't like turning the cursors to precise because I like to see the active tool icon where my cursor is and as the icon changes as I hold modifier keys down.  If I am forced to get comfortable with using pricise cursors I guess I will, but man, I've never had to do this in my 15 years of photoshop use...
    I would absolutely LOVE to find a way to get the old lasso icon -- without the arrowhead above it.
    Is there any chance this option could be inlcuded in cursor preferences?  I'd give much thanks, Adobe.

    Your Photoshop CC can be installed on a Mac or PC. Just install the Mac CC Desktop app and install Photoshop CC from there. It will be in your Application folder.

    No, You dont have to uninstall any of your older Version of Adobe products. You can simply download the latest version of Adobe Applications using Adobe Application Manager.
    You can diwnload Adobe Application Manager from this link.

  • AE videos cut to black at the end frame?

    Please help with this, it's driving me insane! as it says a above - I've an 8 sec text intro that is meant to end on the final frame.
    but it cuts to black at the end when I need it to stay on the last frame. - and ideas guys?
    this is when its gone through adobe media encoder and is a finished mp4.
    Cheers,
    Simon

    Open your AE composition and press the o key to go to the last frame. Is it black? If not, then check the last frame in the Adobe Media Encoder or check the last frame of your Render Settings in the Render Cue.
    If you create a comp that is 8 seconds long the last frame will be 7 seconds + the frame rate not 8:00. IOW the last frame of an eight second composition at 30 fps will be 7:29.

  • I joined the cloud, but did not see any of the new bells and whistles in photoshop CS6

    I joined the cloud today and was looking forward to the new stuff in photoshop.  I currently own CS6 stand alone.  I opened an image and none of the new options(advanced sharpening, bridge as a filter, etc) were there.  I did click update when on the photoshop CS6 app when I downloaded a couple of the new apps.  What should I do to get a version of CS6 that has all of the advancements???

    I have it solved.  I know about the update for Lightroom in June, but the cloud version of photoshop has plenty of new features and "bells & whistles".  I had a plain vanilla photoshop CS6 that I purchased a year ago.  I updated to the cloud yesterday and the only action available for Photoshop was update.  I did & it was the same old plain vanilla... no 3D( I didn't have extended), liquify and blur gallery could not be used with smart filters, etc., etc.  I was supposed to get that with the cloud.  I figured it out during a restless night.  I uninstalled CS6, opened the application manager and reinstalled the CS6.  Then I went into the help menu of the new extended version(3d now) and updated.  I now have all of the new features and "bells & whistles" I was supposed to get when upgrading to the cloud.  I am sure there are others in the same boat or will be soon.  Adobe should see about correcting this in some way.  Complete upgraded version should be available after one pushes the upgrade, even if they have a lesser version(non-extended) available.

  • When the Adobe Application Manager will open the following message: Download error. What should I do

    When the Adobe Application Manager will open the following message: Download error. What should I do

    is the error some gibberish like : UW44PKU  or some code similar to that?
    i think the code is        U44M1P7.
    if this is what happens i think i know what to do, that is if you already have PSCS6 (permanent license) version on you risk before you joined cc.

  • If my daughter is in grade 8, can I get student discount pricing if I want her to join the cloud?

    My daughter is into graphic arts and design (manga/anime/etc) and I want to join the cloud and give her access to the tools. Obviously, I would have to pay (credit card, etc), but can I still get the student pricing even though she's in primary school and it would have to be under my name?

    Moving this discussion to the Student and Teacher Edition Information forum.
    Jjeenndd you can find information regarding eligibility information for your country/region at http://www.adobe.com/education/teacher-eligibility-guide.html.  You can use your Credit Card to pay for access. 
    Alternately you can also purchase a prepaid Creative Cloud subscription card at a local reseller.  This would give you the ability of giving a one time gift which will give her access for a fixed period of time.  They also can be great when added to a nice greeting card.

  • I live in the country. I have ADSL but it is slow. I have just upgraded to Adobe Creative Cloud and downloaded the installer. After three attempts to install I give up because the installer has too! What do I do now?  Joan McGovern, Camilo Enterprises, Au

    I probably should not have asked this question at this time as I need to go to bed. It's 11.34 pm. I do hope someone has an answer because I feel very dudded, having finally decided to join the Adobe cloud!

    either
    1) have someone else download for you and send you the installation files on a usb stick
    2) find a better connection yourself and download to a usb stick
    3) use your current connection and a download manager to download the installation files.
    in all cases, use the the direct downloads,
    Downloads available:
    Suites and Programs:  CC | CS6 | CS5.5 | CS5 | CS4 | CS3
    Acrobat:  XI, X | 9,8 | 9 standard

    Hello,
    see >>> http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html  here >>> How many computers can I install on
    I quote: You may install software on up to two computers. These two computers can be Windows, Mac OS, or one each.
    If you install on a third computer, it will request you to de-activate on the other two computers. You can then reactivate one of the previous two computers, and use Creative Cloud apps on it.
    Good luck!
