Help with Creative Suites question please

Hello
I've been sifting through all these Adobe products, and have gotten pretty excited So, WHERE should I get started with all this? I REALLY like this product here (see link: http://www.adobe.com/ap/products/creativesuite/mastercollection/ ) but is this a good product to start with? What about the video learning tutorials? Any insight would help me out a lot. Thank you very much for your time.
Brian

Ian,
Thank you for taking the time to respond.
I see that the Master Collection IS expensive....
I will do as you say...I'll spend some time looking through various programs to try and align my goals with what's available.
I think it would be great to be able to add visual effects to video marketing pieces as well as the ability to manipulate images.
Thank you!
"As Michael says, Master Collection is VERY expensive. Scarily so for most people! It would be best to figure out what you want to do, what you wish to achieve and what you can afford!
Spend a bit of time browsing bookshops and flip through books on Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator etc to get a glimpse of what they can do. Also, download the trial versions of the apps you are most likley to use. Otherwise, Master Collection could be total overkill for your needs.
Ian"

  • Need help with Creative Suite 2 Premium

    I installed Creative Suite 2 Premium on my new Dell with Windows 7. When I start any of the programs I get different error messages depending on which program I am trying to start. For Photoshop I get "Your Adobe Photoshop username, organization or serial number is missing or invalid. The application cannot continue and must quit." I have tried uninstalling the programs and reinstalling them. I have tried running the programs and an adminstrator. I have changed the compatibility of the WIndows version. Nothing works. I called tech and they would not help because they no longer support the programs because they are too old. Does anyone have any solutions?

    Copying a solution from the doc
    Error: "...user name, organization or serial number is missing or invalid..." when you start Photoshop (CS2 on Mac OS)
    Solution 1: Run the installer, input the user information, and then quit the installer.
    1. Run the Photoshop Installer from the CD, and proceed through the installation screens.
    2. Type in your Username, Organization, and Serial Number when you are asked to Personalize Your Software, and click Next.
    3. The installation begins. Go to the Installer menu, and choose Quit Installer and close the installer window.
    4. Restart Photoshop.
    If this does not help, try the other solutions mentioned in the document.

  • Help with Creative Suite 6 without a disk drive

    I have a new mac and bought adobe creative suite 6 design standard, teacher/student edition. I do not have a disk drive so I installed creative cloud to download the products on adobe design standard and then license them as adobe does NOT have a direct download for Creative Suite 6: Design Standard which is the problem because the serial code I received from adobe support after identifying my proof of eligibility did not work on the products I PURCHASED. Very frustrated here, please help!

  • Need Help with Creative Suite 6 Design Standard.

    I was working with a tech named Ashok Kumar Mohanty. I was sharing my screen with him and trying to install Creative Suite 6 Design Standard. We lost each other. He had me set up a new administer account but I can't get online with it because it has no browser and I don't know how to get one.
    My installation keeps freezing at the AdobeHelp portion of the installation. The time remaining continues to climb but the installation freezes at 19%. I have been trying to resolve this for 2 weeks. I tried to download a trial version online and finally bought one but both programs keep freezing in the same place. I am downloading from a disc.

    because it has no browser and I don't know how to get one.
    IE is available to all users by default on Windows, Safari on Mac, and Firefox, Opera and Chrome are avialable as free downloads. The rest is far too vague. You are not providing any system information or other details. As a start, simply run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool and try again. For anything else we realyl need much more information and possibly the install logs.

  • Help with Creative Suite 4 Master Collection

    Hello my name is Adam
    I just recently started college and recieved the Creativeu Suite 4 Master Collection software for my Web Design classes. So I installed the software rebooted and ran Photoshop accepted the license agreement inputted the serial and clicked ok to activate. Nothinig happened, the software never loads. I tried with every application that requires the serial like Dreamweaver etc. Same with all of them they all ask for me to accept the license agreement and input the serial and then activate then when I click ok for the program to open absolutely nothing happens! So I researched the help faqs and support forums n stuff and found a few things to change permissions and delete some caches etc etc and reinstalled like 5 times nothing seems to be working. I am not stupid with computers by any means either. I know exactly what I'm doing, however, I can't figure out what the hell the problem is. So I just signed into my adobe account and registered the product online thinking that might work and nope, same story. If anyone has any idea what is going on can you please help me. My Intro to Web Design class started today and I have no Photoshop and that's the main subject of this class! It does sound like some kind of permissions issue or maybe something in the registry or something like that I have no clue all I know is I have a $1,500 piece of useless software installed! So please help me!

    You should try using a different browser and see if you get the same delay.  Waiting for the download should not involve keeping track of time on a calendar.
    There is an alternate resource for CS4 products that you could try as well that sidesteps the download manager...
    You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

  • Need help with Creative Suite 4, Production Premium, single license use

    My original computer crashed and I am unable to re-install my software on my new computer.

    Sorry, but after typing and re-typing the question I became frustrated. It has been some time since I last attempted to load the program, Design Suite was a more streamlined process. After leaving this question here and attempting to 'chat' with support, I loaded my software again and this time it completed.
    My system specs were irrelevant. The error occured when I typed in the license number and the response was I had already downloaded and registered the software on another computer. I guess its been long enough that my re-installing it yesterday wasn't interpreted as pirating.
    Thanks

  • Can someone help with my loading question please?

    Hi,
    I have a flash file with 3 scenes that play one after the
    other, in scene 1 i want to put a loader so that everything loads
    and then all scenes play. I placed this in scene 1:
    onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
    var total = Math.floor(_root.getBytesTotal()/1024);
    var loaded = Math.floor(_root.getBytesLoaded()/1024);
    _root.k_txt.text = loaded+"KB /"+total+" KB";
    var per = Math.floor(loaded/total*100);
    _root.p_txt.text = per+"%";
    if (root.getBytesLoaded() == root.getBytesTotal()) {
    _root.play();
    but it doesnt work :S ... how do i do it right? Right now
    when i play my .swf there's this blank white screen that stays on
    for a couple seconds before the actualy swf starts playing
    thanks a lot.

    Hi Kglad,
    Yes I do have them all exported for actionscript. So if I
    follow ur suggestion, I would remove all loader stuff and make it a
    separate swf? And then in that swf have the same loader code as
    below and can the level still be _root since thats' the level where
    everything else should be loaded? Or did you mean to externally
    load the main swf in an empty movie clip? thanks a lot!
    onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
    var total = Math.floor(_root.getBytesTotal()/1024);
    var loaded = Math.floor(_root.getBytesLoaded()/1024);
    _root.k_txt.text = loaded+"KB /"+total+" KB";
    var per = Math.floor(loaded/total*100);
    _root.p_txt.text = per+"%";
    if (root.getBytesLoaded() == root.getBytesTotal()) {
    _root.play();

  • Help with a simple question-please

    Forgive me if this has been covered already, it seems like such a simple request but I can not find any simple answers...
    I am currently using the trial version of acrobat 9.. I am considering buying. I want to create fillable PDF forms(for personal use). When I fill them them out I want to be able to email the filled out form, and save a copy of the filled out form. Can I do this? If yes how?
    Basically, i want to take all my personal forms that I now send out via snail mail(some are order forms, some are claim forms that I send to my insurance co, etc...). I want to make them into fillable pdf's so i can fill them out on my computer and then email them to whoever I choose. Can I do this? How?

    Do you want them to be filled0in with Reader, or Acrobat? To create a form in the first place, you'll need Acrobat. Once you've added the fields and entered the form data, you just have to save it as a new document. You can then attach the document to an email as you would any other type of file. You can also set up a "submit" type button to partially automate the process of saving and attaching a document to an email.
    If you want to create a form that Reader users can fill-in and save, you will have to Reader-enable the document. In Acrobat 9, you do this by opening the document in Acrobat and selecting "Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader...".
    Regarding locking the document, you cannot do it securely with Reader, but you can set up the form so that the fields are set to read-only after it is filled-in but before it is saved. This may require a bit of programming in JavaScript, but it's not too complicated.

  • I currnently own a Macintosh computer with Creative Suite Master collection and I need help

    I own a Macintosh computer with Creative Suite master collection and I just recently bought a Windows 8 computer that I want to use Creative Suite on also, I do not want to buy a brand new product as I have proof of ownership on my Creative Suite, is there ANY way I can get around buying a new product? I own the item for Mac I just want it for windows also, any answers will be appreciated!

    It depends. If it's a CS6 suite you can apply for a platform change to Windows free of charge, but you terminate your Mac license.
    CS5, you would pay an upgrade fee and be able to change the license.
    CS4 and below... you have no options other than buying a Full Windows version of CS6.

  • Fonts bundled with Creative Suite 2 (and individual CS2 products)

    The attached PDF lists all the fonts bundled with Creative Suite 2 and the individual CS2 applications.

    We had somebody spend a few hours looking into this. He found that on Windows only, if Bickham Script Pro and/or Warnock Pro is deleted after install, further installs won't get them back. It seems only a complete uninstall and then reinstall gets them back.
    Sorry for the delay in posting this. I lost track of the thread....
    DETAILS
    I did some playing around with the CS2 installer and found something interesting that might be related to some customers not finding Bickham Script Pro or Warnock Pro.
    On both the Macintosh and Windows platform, using the Suite installer to install even one app from the Suite (e.g., GoLive) installed Bickham and Warnock--no surprise.
    On the Macintosh, if I manually deleted those fonts files from the Application Support: Adobe: Fonts folder, then used the Creative Suite installer to install another application from the Suite (e.g., Photoshop), those fonts got reinstalled--again, pretty much as I would have expected.
    On the Windows side, however, if I manually deleted those font files from the Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts folder, then installed another app (e.g., Photoshop), the fonts DID NOT get reinstalled.
    Even more interesting, if I manually deleted the entire Fonts folder from Program Files\Common Files\Adobe, then used the Creative Suite installer to install an application from the Suite (e.g., I removed Photoshop, deleted the Fonts Folder, then reinstalled Photoshop) the Fonts folder got reinstalled as did the reqd folder inside of it (and the contents of the reqd folder) but Bickham Script and Warnock Pro were NOT reinstalled.
    On a fresh machine, I tried using the Suite installer to install only Photoshop from the Suite, just to make sure it actually installs Bickham and Warnock, and it does. I then removed Bickham and Warnock and installed GoLive with the Suite installer--still no Bickham or Warnock. Then I installed Acrobat with the Suite installer--still no Bickham or Warnock.
    If I use Add/Remove to completely remove ALL Creative Suite applications and support files and preferences, then reinstall an app, I DO get Warnock and Bickham.
    His theory: On the Windows platform, if customers are removing those fonts, or for whatever reason they don't get installed in the first place (though I couldn't reproduce a problem here), they may not get the fonts unless they do a full removal of the entire Creative Suite package (all applications) before reinstalling.
