Best Adobe website program to use with Creative Cloud - BC, Muse or Dreamweaver?

Hi - I'm new to Adobe Creative Cloud and I'm planning on having at least a couple of my websites designed/hosted using ACC. My question is, I noticed that Adobe has three different pieces of software for website production. I'm aware of Dreamweaver, but I'm willing to give either Muse or Business Catalyst a try since I wouldn't have to do any coding. Does anyone have a preference either way as far as website design w/Adobe Creative Cloud goes? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Depends entirely on your preference.
I avoid BC's interface like the plague because it has a tendency to "correct" my code in ways that I don't want (like adding html line breaks into javascript and commenting out things.) Between Dreamweaver or Muse I like DW because at least it gives you more control over your code.
But I use notepad++ and i'm perfectly happy. You don't have to use Adobe software to work with BC if you don't want to, though obviously they would prefer it if you did

How many computers can i use with creative cloud?

how many computers can i use with creative cloud?

Two.
From the Creative Cloud FAQ here http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html under the section Purchasing and getting started:
On how many computers can I install the software I download from Creative Cloud?
You can install the desktop applications available in Creative Cloud on your primary computer and one backup computer, as long as they are not running at the same time. You will have access to both the Mac OS and Windows versions, so if you have a Mac at home and a PC at work, for instance, you can install your applications on both. See the product license agreements page for more information.

I'm buying a new computer for use with Creative Cloud. Are there any advantages to PC vs Mac?

I'm replacing a seven year old Dell that still works but is getting rather long in the tooth. I have CS4 web design. (For PC)
I have a Macbook Pro (so I'm familar with Mac OS)
I'm upgrading my computer to mainly use the Creative Cloud.
Are there any advantages (related to Creative Cloud) to buying a Mac or a PC?
I just don;t wan't to a Mac and then find that many features don;t work that are on the PC (or vice versa)
Or is one interface easier to use than another?
Thanks in advance for any help.

It usually boils down to personal preference.
The software is, to all intents and purposes, the same in either operating system. There are minor differences between them, usually related to the hardware or the operating system. But if you can use the software in Windows, you'll be able to use it on a Mac too.
It's a matter of which environment you prefer: Windows or Mac. I use both daily since the Cloud allows you to install on Windows and/or Mac.

Best Adobe CC program for drawing with a tablet (not an iPad) - a wacom tablet, that is connected to a lap top.

I've got access to Adobe CC and have a Wacom tablet that I would like to start using more. I understand, there is Adobe Line, for iPad use, which will not work- I don't have an iPad. It seems PhotoShop and Illustrator are my best options but they don't seem to have the features that other software offers such as Corel... Is there an Adobe CC option that I am not seeing?

MPEG-2 codecs missing from Adobe Media Encoder CS6 installed with Creative Cloud Membership

Some people who have downloaded Adobe Media Encoder with Premiere Pro CS6 as part of a Creative Cloud Membership subscription have a problem in which the MPEG2, MPEG2-DVD, MPEG2-Blu-ray, Dolby Digital, & MXF OP1a codecs are missing.
To fix this issue, install the Adobe Media Encoder CS6 (6.0.1) update. Choose Help > Updates to install the update.

It's true. We reached the conclusion that the version CS6 is inferior, a step back, than 5 or 5.5. What's good about it, is the Audution CS6, which is a great replacement for the flawed Audition CS5 accompanying Suite 5.5. You can almost forget the Soundbooth ... Soundbooth ... hmmm, better not comment, but anyway, the most polite thing that i can say it, is that it is a demonstration of how a company decides that its users are not able to think and not able to learn or understants anything. Anything else that i want to say about Soundbooth can not be written here ....
Adobe has demonstrates this development cicle along all this years. The products takes an uphill curve of development, and suddenly, goes back, showing wrong decisions was taken. So after some time , the products starts to evolve again . CS6 shows this stop evolving point. Now we have to wait untill new uphill curve of development starts again.
Well, but like their predecessors AA CS6 still not are good enough to dispense Audition 3, but it is a good outcome for the Suite CS5.5 Audition at least was a sign of improvement in this Creative Suite CS6
Many of the features and effects that have been deliberately taken out of version 5, now returned in 6, (some) showing that at Adobe at least recognizes when misses badly. But the optimal effects panel of AA3 did not return, some effects of AA3 as fade in and fade out did not come back in AA 6, the optimum VST support of AA3 to not are present in AA6 like many VST we have here that was expensive, you do not work in 6, thus, by these and other reasons we can still not dispense AA3.
Maybe in CS7 we users cam be satisfied.

What tablet do you use with Creative Cloud / Apps?

Hello, I am look for a tablet to run Creative Cloud apps. Does anyone have first have experience? Comparing the iPad 2 Air to the Galaxy and possibly the Surface Pro (... but Surface that gets into a different price range). This would supplement my current desktop / laptop workflow.
Thanks! Dave

If I had the choice (and the cash), I'd probably go with the Surface Pro or the forthcoming Surface 3 (a budget-conscious version of the Surface Pro). The reason is because of full desktop app support like Photoshop CC and full access to your assets on Creative Cloud. You'd pretty much mirror your desktop experience with a little less power and be mobile.
I use a Google Nexus 7 2013 myself; it's great for what it is (as are most of Apple and Google's devices) and apps designed for it like Photoshop Touch are great on it. There's just one problem: It isn't desktop Photoshop.

Pictures DISAPPEARED from pictures folder after installing lightroom to use with creative cloud

so i had lightroom on a trail period that had ended. i had then gone to try out the creative cloud lightroom and it asked me to install. in hindsight i should have just transferred my files to my external hard drive just in case... but i didn't. so after installing the new updated lightroom, MOST of my photos have disappeared from their original folder. like LOTS and LOTS of photos. but it kept SOME of the photos.
can anyone help me?! lots of memories lost possibly and i'm quite displeased and worried...

I have never had a program install remove anything... but you might ask in that forum Photoshop Lightroom

I currently use Aperture. I understand Adobe is developing a conversion to Lightroom. I currently store all my photos on an external RAID server and I want to continue to do so. Is this allowed with Creative Cloud?

I currently use Aperture. I understand Adobe is developing a conversion to Lightroom. I currently store all my photos on an external RAID server and I want to continue to do so. Is this allowed with Creative Cloud?

So, what if I (1) connected an external hard drive to my wi-fi router so I could remote access pics w/a network connection-- this way even my wife's macbook could connect to it, creating our own cloud.
A strong warning: If you're trying to edit the Library (that is, make albums, move photos around, keyword, make books or slideshows etc.) or edit individual photos in it via Wireless be very careful. Dropouts are a common fact of wireless networking, and should one occur while the app is writing to the database then your Library will be damaged. Simply, I would not do this with my Libraries.
Or (2) had a way to save the most recent 6mo on my locally and the rest on said external HD?
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
Now you have two full versions of the Library.
3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
Some Notes:
As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager
how do you keep photos accessible in iPhoto when your HD is full?
Move the Library to an external disk - see above.
Do you just switch to Aperture and have multiple libraries?
Aperture uses as much space as iPhoto and both can do multiple libraries.

Can I use photoshop text styles and photoshop actions with creative cloud photography?

I'm really confused by this subscription pricing. If I purchase the $9.99/month, do I get the full desktop app of Photoshop and Lightroom? But I see on this page Products they list something called Photoshop CC that costs twice as much. How is that different from the Creative Cloud Photography?
My main question is whether I can use photoshop text styles and photoshop actions with Creative Cloud Photography, since I just purchased a bundle that includes these and I want to be able to use them. But I'd also like to understand what comes with all of the various products and how they are different.
My other question is how is Lightroom different from Photoshop? I have a sense of what you can do in Photoshop but I don't know much about Lightroom at all.
One more question: the free trial -- is it limited in any way besides the time length? If I do that, will I get a clear idea of all that I will be able to do once I subscribe, or are the functions limited in the trial?
I tried to just send an email to Adobe to ask these questions but apparently they are not interested in responding to emails from people who are not yet paying customers, so I was directed here. Thanks very much for your help!

I always like to trot this bit about Bridge once in a while or in the voice of the "Two Bobs" from Office Space,
"Can you tell us exactly what it is you do around here?"
What Adobe Bridge does:
Bridge is the coordinating hub of the Creative Suite. Synchronizing color management settings for all suite programs is done from Bridge, and can only be done from Bridge, to take one important use.
Bridge displays actual thumbnails of many more file types than Finder or Explorer. It also allows instant play of sound or video files more readily than the native OS file managers.
Bridge allows direct access to file metadata, to embed copyright information and keywords where appropriate (e.g., for corporate logo vector and raster files). It also displays the fonts used in an InDesign file, the swatches in an INDD or AI and the output plates (including spot color plates) they use.
When managing the assets for a design project, Bridge allows quick and simple sorting, rating and custom labeling (with color flash indications) of assets. I can rate images according to whether they are rejects, possibles, for review by client, or approved. The filters built into Bridge allow instant isolation of only the approved images or designs in a folder, only the rejects (for deletion) or only files with certain ratings, no matter how many files it contains. It recognizes aspect ratios, so if I only need a landscape or a 16:9 image in a folder of hundreds of images, I turn off the aspect ratios I don't need.
Once filtered, the remaining visible files can be selected and copied, moved, or deleted without affecting the rest of the contents of a folder.
Collections are a massively useful feature. One of my clients is a performing arts center, and in a season we turn out dozens of ads, flyers, brochures, web banners, playbills, billboards and other collateral using the same assets over and over. These assets are organized by artist and/or show on disk, but I set up each season's repeating assets as a Collection in Bridge, so that I just have to open the collection and drag and drop these assets into new INDD, AI, PSD, HTML (in Dreamweaver), FLA or AE projects without having to navigate from folder to folder picking up individual files.
Bridge's Favorites is another place I stack frequently-accessed folders, such as stock photography, backgrounds, and top-level folders for active projects.
Assets can be divided into subfolders, but a quick toggle of "Show items from subfolders" exposes all of the assets in a single view while maintaining their organization. I will typically keep AIs, PSDs, EPSs, stock photography and client images in separate subfolders within a project. When I'm ready to start pulling assets into an InDesign layout, I toggle this on and simply drag what I need into the layout.
Bridge comes with Adobe Camera Raw built in, which is many times faster than using Photoshop to adjust jpegs or tiffs for things like tonal range, white balance, cropping, spotting and sharpening, and is non-destructive.
One tremendously useful Bridge function for InDesign CS5+ users is the "Show linked files" feature, which opens all the linked files in a layout into a single view, regardless of where they are physically located. I often use this when doing alternative layouts from a client-approved mockup for a campaign, to be certain the same assets are used in each piece, or when creating a motion graphic or interactive piece for the campaign in After Effects or Flash.
The batch and image processing scripts built into Bridge automate things like creating web-ready small jpegs from multiple images, renaming large numbers of files in place or by copying to an alternative location, creating sets of PSD, png, jpeg or other file types from an assortment of image files, and so on.
Bridge is so much a part of my daily workflow that on my main workstation I have one monitor dedicated to it almost 100%. Bridge just sits open 24/7, ready for use. I would run at half speed without it, no question.

CS2 issues, best version of Photoshop to use with AGS?, workarounds?

It looks like there's some compatibility issues with AGS and CS1/CS2. What's the best version of Photoshop to use with AGS, and like everyone asks, anyone know of an update coming?
My problem btw is that I'm generating many .gif images from 1 source .psd file, and the text alignment for horizontal left/right is not true to the original. The shift is off the canvas. Only center alignment stays true.
My .psd file is only a background layer and a type layer. I once was able to save the .psd in ImageReady and output correctly, but that happened only once and wasn't able to replicate the results.
Anyone know of way to preserve text alignment?

Thanks for the response Bob. I'm going to try and track down Photoshop6 and give that a go. Just to fill this log up with more info, I thought I'd past this response which I wrote to someone else. Btw, I heard a rumor that Adobe may be releasing an update to AGS in the spring. Do you you know anything about that?
Hey ###,
Thanks for getting back to me. With AGS, our goal is to produce about 250k unique images based on a customers first name, which we will then merge into an email. We're able to produce the images using our data and technology, where just not able to maintain the accuracy of the intended creative. Below is a PSD which contains 2 layers, 1 text layer with effect and 1 solid color layer...
http://images.ed4.net/images/htdocs/test/di/ditext.psd
The output should look like this...
http://images.ed4.net/images/htdocs/test/di/original.gif
Instead, the text layer shifts off the canvas far to the left. On right alignment, I get the same results, just far to the right. Center alignment works fine. I didn't know if we should be keying in any additional commands to get this to line up right? Would Photoshop6 resolve this issue?

What is an easy web-page creation program for use with MacBook Pro?

Can anyone suggest an easy web-page creation program for use with MacBook Pro? I have used FrontPage with my PC, but am changing to a MacBook Pro.

It largely depends on your skill level. Do you want to write web page code, or do you want to just design something and have it turn into a web page automatically?
If you are more of a designer, try these:
RapidWeaver
Freeway Pro
Muse
If you want to write web page code, try these:
Coda
BBEdit
Dreamweaver
If you really don't want to write the code and want the best experience for your viewers, and you want to spend the least amount of time on it, my recommendation is:
No program at all.
Instead, sign up with a web site company like:
WordPress.com (hosted by them) or WordPress.org (hosted on your server)
Squarespace
Wix
The reason is that these companies have fully operational, nicely designed web site templates that you just fill in with your words and pictures, and they are ready to go. They also give you these benefits:
Already designed to the latest web standards
Already designed to resist hackers
Already designed to work on all browsers
Already designed to automatically adjust the page for readability on desktop, laptop, tablet, and smartphone screen sizes
Already designed for accessibility
Already designed for Search Engine Optimization so that your page will be found on Google
Already designed with social media links built in if you want
It is not like the old days where you build a site in Front Page and you assume it will only be seen on a desktop computer. If you build it yourself with a web page program, do you have the knowledge to make a site that works on all of the different web browsers and mobile devices, and is friendly to search engines and social media? If you don't have those skills, working with a website company can be a lot better, faster, and more reliable than trying to hammer all of that out yourself using code in some app.

I have licensed Lightroom 5.6 and my serial number. I want to install it on a new computer. I can get nowhere using Adobe site as it is all Creative Cloud related. I never had to use CC before. All I want is to install my already purchased Lightroom on new computer (without deactivating on old computer)

you may as well install the later lr 5.7.1 rather than 5.6 and then updating.

Download and installation help for Adobe links
Download and installation help for Prodesigntools links are listed on most linked pages. They are critical; especially steps 1, 2 and 3. If you click a link that does not have those steps listed, open a second window using the Lightroom 3 link to see those 'Important Instructions'.

Is Acrobat 9 compatible with Creative Cloud programs?

I submitted this in the updates section but didn't get any help.
Is Acrobat 9 compatible with Creative Cloud products such as Photoshop CC and InDesign? Will I be forced to upgrade to Acrobat XI or can I keep using Acrobat 9 with the Creative Cloud programs?
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Acrobat 9 should be fine with PDFs you generate with CC apps. I don't believe any of the apps will let you choose a lvel of security that requires Acrobat 10 and up, which is the only stumbling block I can think of.
