Icon-making: Photoshop + Illustrator?

I have Design Premium CS5 (soon to have CS6) and want to know whether, among InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop, do we have everything we need to make icons, cross-platform, all the sizes that might be needed and into a delivery form that any platform can utilize?
I know that I can create icons with Illustrator and Photoshop; I'm really inquiring here about the post-creation delivery and cross-platform compatibility of the creative product in a form that others can use as icons.
thank you!

I guess that depends on if you have a way to save to the correct formats. On windows an icon can be in the form of an ico, exe or dll. The latter two usually are created with an app that can compile code like visual studio. But a google search may provide a free app. Downloads.com is usually a good place to look. that can convert to at least ico format.
At this point none of the Adobe apps are capable of exporting to any of the formats that I mentioned. but they all can export as a png, tiff or jpg which most 3rd party apps can read.
I never tried porting from Mac to Windows or visa-versa, but I do believe some formats like tiff do have to be told which platform your file will be living on. Though someone else will have to confirm or deny that.

Hello,
Can you please advise me as to the recommended system requirements for Adobe CC for Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Dreamweaver (all 4 programs). I'm hoping this is summarized somewhere rather than making me look up and compare all four. I'll be using a windows based PC, and will need a graphics card that can support at least two monitors.

Export Vector Icons into Photoshop?

Hi, bit stuck.
I've got an icon pack which is in Vector Format containing about 20 individual icons in the one file.
Any ideas how I can take each vector icon out of illustrator and export it for photoshop and then the web.
Tried selecting the vector and then copy & pasting into photoshop but figure that's not the right way of doing things as it'll be huge.
Appreciate any help, just need a pointer
John.

In Illustrator go to File>Save for the Web and Device no need to export to Photoshop.

Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc-) through Citrix XenApp 6 / 6.5.

We would like to deploy the Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc…) through Citrix XenApp 6 / 6.5. Does anyone know if this is possible – are there any deployment guides. I haven’t been able to find any so I’m assuming it’s not officially supported.
Thank you
Stuart

We have a few of the products installed. You will find they work okay but nothing replaces working locally.
We are, however, using the Enterprise version that is not tied to cloud accounts.
We have had to play with the video setting of Citrix for better Quality. If you ratchet them up to high for someone that is doing high end editing your performance drops significantly. The screen refresh is blocky and no one doing this work would find it usable.
We have it there fore simple editing and managing our media. I am looking for a much better storage solution that is sharable across platforms and locations.

CS2 - Help won't open in Photoshop, Illustrator, GoLive

Hi,
I am unable to open the help center in Creative Suite 2 for Photoshop, Illustrator, and GoLive.
After I click help, or press F1 to open help, I see the help program appear as a button on my Windows taskbar at the bottom of the screen. But if I click on it to open/switch to help, nothing happens. It's like the help center is "invisible".
I have tried renaming my prefs file to see if a new prefs file would fix it. It didn't.
It seems like this is a problem I had with the previous version of these programs, too. (I think that was Photoshop 7??) I had fixed it in that version, but can't remember what the fix was. I can't seem to find this problem in the forums or support either.
It's driving me crazy!! Can anyone help?
Thanks!

The help (zip) files are still available:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=319210&sliceId=2
While this addresses an issue that CS2 users (including myself) have experienced, I'm not convinced that Natalie is having this particular problem. She doesn't mention getting the "CS2 product not installed" message.
>"the help program appear[s] as a button on my Windows taskbar at the bottom of the screen . . . It's like the help center is "invisible"
Could it be that the help window is simply positioned off-screen?

PS: If a window is offscreen, press Alt+Spacebar, M (Move), and use the arrow keys to move the window into view.

How to create clean text for the web in Photoshop/Illustrator

I am puzzled to death on how in the world to get clean text for the web in Photoshop/Illustrator, particularly white text. I want my text to turn out exactly like the text at this website: thepainteddoor.org
If you scroll down to the bottom of that page, notice the titles "Featured Media", "Social Networking", and "Contact Information". They are all .gif images. I have tried to replicate what these images look like for about 3 hours now to no avail. Can anyone tell me how to do this? It just looks like a simple outline or drop shadow, but I can't get it to show up like that. If someone could help me replicate that effect with text (aka make it show up clean as an image), I would graciously give them money through PayPal*.
* = I will only give cash if it will replicate it exactly (and I mean exactly)..and it won't be too much..I'm a poor college student. :-P
Thanks in advance!
Thomas

You would do it the way I created it:
Select the Text tool in Photoshop and set the font and parameters as I have listed. Then enter whatever text you like. It will be rendered over the top of the lower layers you may have in the document. Save as an image of the appropriate type and you're there.
Note that "lower layers you may have in the document" could conceivably be none at all (i.e., you render the text over a transparent document). You could imagine saving that as a .png with transparency and get light text in an image that could then be put over the top of anything else. The alpha mixing will see to it that the edges smoothly blend with the background. I haven't actually tried this (I usually do try my own suggestions) because of lack of time right now.

Creative Cloud has installed 2 versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign

Somehow, in updating my CC apps, I ended up with...
Photoshop CC & Photoshop CC (2014)
Illustrator CC & Illustrator CC (2014)
InDesign CC & InDesign CC (2014).
Can I delete the 3 CCs and keep the 2014s? (I'm assuming the answer is yes.)

The simple answer is yes if you don't need CC for plug-ins and Flash-based Extensions which are not compatible with CC 2014.
e.g. Photoshop CC's Oil Paint Filter, Mini-Bridge and Kuler panel have disappeared in CC 2014.

What happen to TOTAL TRAINING, where i can buy a tutorial in DVD of a creative cloud CC Design: InDesign, photoshop, illustrator, acrobat?

Many year ago, i bought the entire collection of DVD of Total Training of the Creative Suite Design, and came with InDesign, Photoshop, illustrator, acrobat, version cue, and was wonderfull learn all, now 10 years ago, i try to get now the Creative Cloud CC for Design, and only found tutorials online, or with Lynda.com any sugestions?

Looking at the current options readily accessible on Adobe.com, for students and teachers it appears that the only options are to get the entire suite for $20/month or the photographers bundle (LR + PS) for $100/year thru Aug 29, so not sure what the price would be, now, so no there is not a way to get 3 apps for cheaper than the entire suite, since there is no single-app price.
If it’s any consolation, for non-educational individuals, the single app price is $20/month and the full-suite price is $50/month, so for three applications like you want to use, it’d be cheaper to go with the full-suite than buy three individual app subscriptions.
The bottom line is that as a student or teacher you’re able to access the full suite of apps for the price of a single app once you’re out of school, and that is as low as Adobe will go.
