I am looking for direction on beginning a project.

Hello all, this is is a brief and likely frustratingly generic message.
It has been well over a decade since I have worked with Adobe products (I last built a web page with PS 5 and Macromedia Dreamweaver).
All of the new tools available to us are astounding but, for someone partially familiar with the tools but unfamiliar with the new workflows, the Creative Cloud can be daunting: there is simply so much.
I have two projects I would like to work on, the first is a blog that will incorporate videos of recorded shows, and host essays and writing on creative criticism, the second is a web page for a tutoring and academic writing service.
What I am looking for isn't a hand to hold while I do all of this, but a bit more specific a vector for where to begin my learning. I am used to the old method of designing, slicing, and fighting with pixels and tables, and having to manually set styles on static portions of web pages; CSS is a new ball game for me, as it was only in its infancy when I was doing this years ago.
Should I be using Dreamweaver, or Edge Reflow these days, if I am more of a designer/writer than an artist? What about Muse; though I find that Muse doesn't render graphics very well and content becomes blurry (like blurred 1px lines rather than crisp images like in PS)? I'd like to be able to repackage my blog in a mobile app one day, likewise for the tutoring service, but that one much farther down the road.
So, I guess, I've put on my blindfold, and am ready to pin the tail on the donkey, but I need someone to give me a spin first. I know there isn't much detail in this post, but I don't want to start rambling about things that don't really matter yet; but I do have the projects outlined and ready for green lights, so I can fill in more details as required.
Best,
Jared.

I only use Appleworks 6 to create documents. The printer is Photosmart 3200 all-in-one

  • Complete newbie looking for direction

    C# developer for Windows - have been doing Outlook-based addins for a while. Looking to port something similar to Mac. Need plug-in (or something similar) integration into Ical, mail and the contact address database. Can this be done? Want to a) add UI (like buttons and forms) b) get events and c) create and populate items.
    Any directions/pointers would be very welcome....

    Tones of good material exists at the Maven2 site:
    http://maven.apache.org/
    Another very good place where to find information:
    http://www.sonatype.com/book/
    To search for free jars (very useful)
    http://www.mvnrepository.com/search.html
    It is kind of difficult to start, but it worth the effort.
    I cannot imagine to start a project without Maven + Continuum

  • Looking for direct download links for Creative Suite trial versions?

    Trial versions of Adobe Creative Suite, Photoshop Elements, and Adobe Premiere Elements are downloaded using the Adobe Download Assistant — a small application that is meant to improve download reliability and avoid issues that commonly occur during large downloads, such as frequent disconnects.
    What do we mean by "large downloads"? Photoshop CS5 and Photoshop Elements, for example, are each over 1.1 GB. The approximate download times for files this size are:
    • On a cable connection (3 mbps): 50 minutes.
    • On a DSL connection (1.5 mbps): 1 hrs. 39 minutes.
    The Adobe Download Assistant helps most people manage the download of these large files, for example by enabling pause/resume of the downloads, and checking to ensure the complete file(s) are downloaded before actual installation begins.
    While we strongly recommend you first attempt to download trial versions using the Adobe Download Assistant, we also realize that some people just prefer to manage their own downloads directly, using a web browser. For those of you who do, please follow the instructions carefully here.
    Update 5/5/13: Please utilize the Photoshop Elements page at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop_elements&loc=us to set the trial cookie to allow the links offered at http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs6-direct-download-links.html to function successfully.
    Update 5/17/13: The Prodesigntools site - http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs6-direct-download-links.html has been updated.  Please follow the Very Important Instructions section to complete the download process.

    I was trying everything I could think of on my end to download the InDesign trial from this link:
    http://prodesigntools.com/trials2/AdobeProducts/IDSN/8/win32/InDesign_8_LS16.exe
    I must have tried it a hundred times using every browser, download manager, login, logout, whatever.  At one point the server sent me a 1.2 MB file that was corrupt, but on all other attempts it just errored out.  The current response entity is:
    Access Denied
    You don't have permission to access "http://trials2.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/IDSN/8/win32/InDesign_8_LS16.exe?" on this server.
    Reference #18.6daeacd.1343153129.1c78627
    When I switched to the 7zip file and after many more attempts it finally downloaded.  The exe link never worked.
    I don't know if this is a security thing or a failed server but it is not a good way to distribute software either way.

  • Looking For Direct Patch Update for FC6

    Hi Gang
    I'll have to reformat my system drive again, and rather than download the Update for FC6 from the 'Software Update' method, I'd like to downlaod the patch directly. I inadvertently downlaoded the new Safari, with all the JAVA updates (very problematic). I should have left it alone. No recourse but to reformat.
    Could someone please point to the link for FC6 update from Apple? I'm trying to understand the process of avoiding these so-called 'Input Managers' which could add strange 3rd party add on's, (very problematic).
    Thank you
    Mike

    I would recommend using the Software Update app method. That will scan your system and only display the necessary updates. Then after installing one wave of updates, run Software Update again until you've got everything installed.
    For the record, it appears that Apple does have all of the ProApp updates available on their download servers for Final Cut Studio 2.
    The reason for my keeping a personal archive was that our editing systems here cannot be updated every time an update is released. This is due to the many different third party systems/servers that need to be qualified/updated before applying a ProApp update. And since that cycle can take a while, it was important for us to be able to keep all of our editing systems on the same versions. For some reason, Apple would only allow the most current update to be downloaded separately, since older versions were no longer supported. That doesn't work well for an enterprise environment.

  • Total Newbie Here. Looking For Directions

    Hi everyone,
    I'm completely new to everything except photoshop which I'm still learning. I want to create a printable fitness journal, but I'm unsure which program I would use. I just wanto use my company logo, add lines for journal entries and a few pages that would have a food and exercise tracker...sort of like a calendar. Can someone please direct me to the right program? I was thinking it would be Indesign, but a few Google searches suggested Illustrator.
    Thanks in advance.

    If it's one page only, either one of Photoshop or Illustrator or InDesign would do just fine. For anything more than a single page and containing a mix of images and text, one typically would use InDesign.

    That suggestions were probably made by Illustrator users.

  • KASKhmerScript - looking for direction

    Hello everyone,
    I've been unsuccessful in finding the proper header and code file that would produce the Khmer language in Acrobat. Has anyone solved adding the kASKhmerScript and if you have what header and code file(s) did you use?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Thanks for the reply Irosenth. Yes, I need to produce Khmer text. We output the text currently but we still see vowel indicators in the PDF output text (Acrobat 11). When I embed the KhmerOS font Adobe replaces the font and reordering characters,shaping (substituting) glyphs, and positioning glyphs properly won't work. I've found DOCX to be successful with its shaping engine but in a realistic world I'll need to produce a postscript or PDF file so no modifications can be made to the final output. DOCX has many limitations and only one positive that is cleaning up the Khmer output properly with the shaping engine Microsoft built.

  • Looking for the New Upgradations in Project Costing from 11.5.3 to 11.5.10

    Hi All,
    Iam looking at the New Features added in Project Costing as we need to give a demo for the client on the advantages of Upgrading from 11.5.3 to 11.5.10. any record on these lines would be of great help to us.Appreciate your kind suggestions in this regard.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Satyam Team

    Hi, a basic brief of the upgrade the principal steps are:
    1.- Cloning your 11.5.3 OEBS to a new server (IBM AIX 5.2), with similar characteristics to the final server in Production.
    2.- To continue with the steps described in the note of metalink 316365.1 - Oracle Applications Release 11.5.10.2 Maintenance Pack Installation Instructions.
    3.- To do a set of tests that include cycles of revenue and expenditures, this way as technical tests, and review all customizations.
    This basic step must be led to end in an environment of test, and when all the tests certified the environment , to do it in production server.
    Good Luck

  • Looking for BC4J EJB deployment example

    Hi,
    I am looking for an very simple example project for BC4J deployed as EJB, including table definition, BC4J source files, and EJB client source files. I have previously successfully deployed the BC4J to Oracle8i JVM and OC4J, but currently struck at how to write the client application. I would like to know how to call my own remote methods other than working with ViewObjects directly.
    Help needed.
    Regards,
    Patrick.

    Maybe this will help:
    In JServer, ejb inactivity timeout is controlled by property jbo.ejb.txntimeout which value is 60 (secs) by default.
    JServer properties file is deployed as oracle/jbo/server/jboserver.properties, you can get it from jbomt.zip (you should create the same directory structure and a project, say jServerProps.jpr, containing the file).
    Edit the file:
    jbo.ejb.txntimeout=28800
    jbo.ejb.txntype=local
    , then deploy it as Classes and Java Stored Procedures to Oracle 8i.
    To see effective values of jServer properties you have to set jbo.debugoutput=console in file oracle/jbo/common/Diagnostic.properties - from the same jbomt.zip.
    It's better to include the file in the above jServerProps project and deploy at once with jboserver.properties.

  • Looking for an to-do app that syncs between two phones

    Hi -- I’m looking for an app that I can use on my iPhone and my assistant can use on her iPhone that is basically a to-do list that allows us to set up tasks, and perhaps make comments on them, and to note when a task is finished or how much progress is made.  And one that would update each other’s list (which would be set from one device ideally), in real time.
    Maybe this is just obviously a part of to-do lists apps, but wasn’t sure.  If it is, I can’t figure it out.
    I had previously used google docs and we’d share a doc and note when there were changes to that doc.  That would serve as our to-do list.
    Anyone have suggestions on the right app?
    Cheers!

    There are probably hundreds of them. Any.do's new premium service looks nice. Tidiest allows collaboration. Keep in mind that what you're looking for sounds almost more like project management. Using that as a search term might help.

  • Look for cooperator

    Look for cooperator if you have project!

    that is the way it should work, but my apple tv is set to be paired, and still not seen by itunes. this is after:
    1. rebooting apple tv
    2. downloading entire wireless network, adding devices one at a time to prevent any issues
    3. resetting airport express units so that they are all broadcasting on different channels
    4. resetting apple tv to factory setting and reinstalling software upgrades
    5. trying to toggle find apple tv button in itunes preferences in combination with rebooting network etc
    6. upgrading to itunes ten
    I have tried all the other fixes that I've found on the internet - nothing works. All very frustrating because my apple tv had been working fine for months and then somehow got stuck during a sync. I keep trolling for a solution, but this is clearly not only my problem. Apple to address this somehow.

  • I can print from my macbook pro using airport express usb connected printer, however my iPad is looking for an airprint printer.  Can I direct the iPad to the usb connected printer.  Both macbook and iPad confirm a wifi connection through the airport exp.

    You will need to install an App like Print Central on the iPad to try to print to the printer. It will allow you to print to most printers. Check with their support folks if you need more info.

  • Looking for Mini DVI to DVI direct into monitor

    I currently have that adapter that connects the mini DVI out of the MBP into the existing DVI cable of the monitor. I'm really not love'in that adapter and it's kind of clunky so what I'm looking for is a cable that goes from my mini DVI direct to my monitor DVI socket. Any ideas where I can buy such a cable?

    If you have a unibody MBP, it doesn't have a mini-DVI video-out; it has a mini-Displayport. If that's what you have, here's what you want:

  • Looking for a bluetooth headphone for my Macbook Air and Ipad Mini, I am not looking for a headphone that needs a transmitter to be connected to the source rather a headphone that can be connected directly via bluetooth to the source device

    I am desperately looking for a bluetooth headphone that would be compatible to my Macbook air and Ipad mini both. I am more of looking for a headphone that does not need a transmitter device to be connected to the source (in this case Macbook Air and Ipad Mini) and headphone acting as a receiver, rather need a headphone that would be connected directly via bluetooth to the source, it would be great if multiple apple devices be connected simultaneously. Please suggest some good headphones.

    Hey sorry for the late reply, I was busy to figure out alternatives as harman kardon was a difficult affair to find and acquire, but the good news is I managed to get hold of alternative.
    Sony I assume recently launched a Bluetooth headphone DR-BTN200 which is compatible to my MacBook Air , iPad mini and android phone galaxy s2 with ease, the sound quality is pretty good as compared to other brands of Bluetooth headphones I checked compatible or incompatible to apple devices alike, this is definitely what I was looking for, costed me 7990 INR, this is highly recommended for ppl who are confused, I carried my devices to the store and checked before I bought a pair and pretty much happy,
    The best part of this is its battery backup, I have used this hours for 3-5 days but this has not drain even then, but I do keep this charging once in 2-3 days just to keep this ready otherwise it does not even ask for it neither the quality of sound drops after 2-3 days of use.
    This is over the ear headphone which is very soft but it's get sweaty around the ear I guess that's bound to happen.
    Do get back to me for any other details, would be glad to share with all :)
