Have Design Standard, want to add Flash.  Options?

Hi.  I am interested in working with Flash.  I was planning on adding it when upgrading to CS5, but for all I know that could be the fall, and I would prefer to get into it asap.
As far as I am able to tell I have three options -
1) $799 Upgrade to Design Premium - is there any way to pick this up for the difference in package price?  I understand doubling the upgrade price encourages Premium sales up front, but, c'mon!  I have seen copies on eBay for slightly less, but not much.
2) $699 Flash Standalone - Pointless, as an extra $100 also buys Dreamweaver and Fireworks.
3) Buy Design Premium, Sell Design Standard - I have seen (apparently) legit copies of Design Premium on eBay for ~$750, and it seems as though copies of Design Standard sell for ~$500.  This is the least expensive option.  Is there any reason I couldn't sell our copy of Design Standard?  I imagine it can be 'deactivated' or maybe the license can be transferred?  I don't know, I haven't dealt with this before.
Is there is anything I am overlooking?  Any options I am unaware of?  What would you do?  Any help is most appreciated, thanks!

I have the same issue and haven't found any real shortcuts regarding pricing. However, in my case, I'm willing to wait for CS5, be it April or October, or whatever, and upgrade at that time.
Your third option may have some difficulties. If you upgrade to Premium I don't believe you can go out and sell your Standard edition, legally. Licenses usually are transferred during an upgrade - you don't pick up an "extra" license when upgrading. That's my laymen's understanding.

  • Wanted: 512 GB Flash option for 2.3 GHz retina model

    I don't know about anyone else, but for me, the ideal MacBookPro would be 2.3GHz processor, 8GB memory, 512 GB storage. Why is storage upgrade not an option on the new retina-display MBP? If there's a technical reason anyone knows of, I'd accept it, but I can't think of one.
    Anand Lal Shimpi wants one too:
    "I really wish the $2199 SKU had the 512GB SSD, or at least offered it as an option - otherwise the spec is near perfect in my mind. Without a standard 2.5" SSD it's going to be difficult to just swap in a larger drive. Other companies may make replacement drives down the road, but if Apple is using Samsung's PM830 controller in here I don't know that I'd want something else." [1]
    If there's anyone else out there that thinks this would be their ideal machine (and I've been waiting for the promised High DPI screens since WWDC 2006) please give a shout in this thread, hopefully there will be enough of us that Apple will try and add the option.
    [1] http://www.anandtech.com/show/5998/macbook-pro-retina-display-analysis

    Because Apple has choosen not to offer that upgrade on that model. Seems fairly straight forward to me. If you want the option of the Flash upgrades you'll have to spring for the higher end model. Apple is famous for this type of thing.
    Good Luck

  • Upgrade CS4 to CS5 design standard - want Photoshop Extended

    try as i might i cant find a way of calling a sales agent on the adobe website. i am trying to understand the following:
    1. what is best way of getting photoshop cs5 EXTENDED without the nonsense of being upsold by adobe ...ie i have CS4 design standard and want photoshop cs5 extended. -  do i need to upgrade photoshop individually and at a much more expensive price ( and then in due course each component individually at higher prices?) or is there a way to get photoshop extended in the CS5 design standard suite'
    2.. Does lightroom3  actually SYNC to flickr ( or facebook, or picassa) or just transfer?
    3. is there actually a sales number to call for help

    No. You do not have a Photoshop license...you have a Creative Suite license.
    Unfortunately, Adobe does a pretty poor job as far as this type of information is concerned but as I said earlier, the only way you can get to PS Extended is by upgrading to Design Premium.
    I personally believe DP is the best bang for the buck in the whole CS family. I've got an article on my website, http://theindesignguy.com/purchase-advice.shtml, which you may find informative.

  • I want to add flash to one segment of a clip.

    How do I capture that one segment?  When I trim the clips ends the segment goes to a smaller scale.  So when I insert the flashed segment it looks like double vision

    I also do not quite understand what you mean.  If you want to simply add a "flash" somewhere, I would simply "split" the clip where you want the flash to be then add a "flash" transition to the split point.  The resulting two clips should continue as if they were one only with a flash going off at the place where the split is.  I think you should have snap enabled so you don't accidentally move the clips apart somehow.  Then, since it is a transition you are adding to get the "flash" effect, the clip you are working with must be on the storyline ... transitions can only be applied on storyline clips.  Don't know if this is what you were looking for.  Hope it helps some.

  • On Mac  Have 2.1 want to add 2.3 - Best Way?

    All,
    I think I know the answer but wanted to double check. If I just do the update, I think the process will take my 2.1 installation and turn it to a 2.3 installation. If I rename Lightroom 2 to something else, 2.3 should be able to be co-resident, correct? I just don't want to lose 2.1 quite yet. Thanks in advance.
    Jay S.

    Tom,
    OR... :-) I may just wait a couple of days and see how 2.3 fleshes out. Seemed like there were too many issues with 2.2 and 2.1 is working great for me. Thanks again for replying.

  • Have DVI monitor - want to add VGA monitor - what adaptor am I needing?

    Well, Ii am at my office - not at home where my PowerMac is and I am wondering what adaptor I need to purchase in order to connect a second monitor to my G5?
    I am already using my DVI port for my 19" monitor.
    Surprise! When I tried to use my DVI - VGA adaptor (reaching behind desk scenario) it wouldn't work and I quickly realized, "Hey! That's not a DVI port :-|"
    What kind of port is it and where is the best place to get the adaptor?
    Thanks guys

    I don't think there are many companies making these, but there is no reason another brand shouldn't work. If you can't find an ADC to VGA adapter, you could buy an ADC to DVI adapter
    <http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wo/2.RSLID?mco= E1A673E1&nplm=T2774G%2FA> to connect your DVI monitor to the ADC port, and use your DVI to VGA adapter to connect your VGA monitor to the DVI port. Don't try an ADC to DVI followed by a DVI to VGA to connect the VGA monitor to the ADC port. ADC to DVI adapters may not pass through the analog signals needed by a VGA display.

  • Installing Design Standard CS3 without Flash Player 9...?

    Hi,
    I hope someone can advise me here?
    I would love to be able to install Design Standard CS3 without the Flash Player 9 Plugins... Both Active X and Plug-In versions.
    Is this at all possible?
    I have scanned through the various XML files on the install DVD and have seen entries for both Active X and Plugin versions of Flash Player 9 in the setup.xml file.
    Removing these lines from the XML doesn't make any difference and Flash Player is still installed as part of the CS3 install.
    I have also tried renaming the folders containing the Flash MSI's and the installation fails at the 'Shared Components' stage.
    I'm obviously missing a trick here but hoped someone might know the answer?
    Many thanks,
    Gav

    I'm sure there are deployment instructions and tools for CS3 somewhere in the Dev Center. If this is only for your own perusal, then don't bother. any isntall of a newer version of Flash Player will superceed the old one.

    I currently have Photoshop and want to add Lightroom. How do I do that? Does it cost 9.99 MORE for Lightroom or is it 9.99 for BOTH?:

    Thanks for the clarification of price. It is not clear to me on the Creative Cloud/ Lightroom /Photoshop download page if it is possible to ADD Lightroom to an existing Photoshop contract. Are you able to help with this question?
    Thx !

  • Can't access CS6 Design Standard download

    I can find the weblink without any problem but once Adobe Download Manager enters the picture it all goes to the dogs! Design Standard is not an available option.
    I already have a license for it and following the theft of the only machine I have it installed on I need to download the installer to re-install on the replacement machine
    I'm using Mac OS 10.8.2 and navigating to the download in Safari. I'm then prompted to download, install and open the Download "Assistant" which requires a login. I've logged in with the same Adobe ID that shows me the license

  • Any way to add search options to search bar?

    I want to add search options, like wikipedia, to the search bar, similar to firefox. Any way to do this? I know Inquisitor does it but I cant find it for windows. Does it exist? If not, any way to do it?

    There's no way to do this with Safari for Windows; you'll just have to wait for some intrepid programmer to write a plug-in for this, or switch to a Mac.
