Ideas for Creative.

This board has the most posting. So I believe this will be noticed. I had to get registered and all just to post for creative company. The matter is that, there was some discussion about creative sometime ago in cna forum and there seem to be pretty interesting ideas from forumers on how they can improve the products and image. We are investors and as such we at one point? want the company to improve so that we can benefit from it.So what i'm suggesting is that the moderator should have something like this in this forum, where suggestions from forumers could help you with new ideas. I myself would like to see some features added in ...for example, in the case of soundcard, all cards or onboard comes with one output.why no one has thought about two or more.... here's the scenario....i have a dual monitor setup.i play game while my?gf may watch movie or listen to music.but the since there are no separate output for each sound, as you guess the noise is terrible...so either one of us have to give up the sound... another one for you...i'm playing a game, on the background recording a tv program, my gf listening to music via wireless headphone,and there's a cartoon my?kid is catching up on the second monitor....(i mean i'm really using the pc as a media centre)so instead of just going for the quality of sound,like intel was doing with the gigahertz race, now they are focusing on cores, you should also find variety within your product, if not it becomes pretty boring.... and also i'm wondering why has the wireless feature not been included in the card yet, it's troublesome hooking up the transmitter and then having to plug in the speaker system again.... so following the wireless transmitter, a cheaper wireless speaker set like 2. would be a boon, as i could place one in each area of my house....for example, i'd like to always play music according to the location, like nursery rhymes in my kid room, soothing music in my bedroom, whatever my gf wants in the kitchen...and whatever in the living room....all this from a single pc, like i said with multiple output channels,?from multiple programsi hope i was somewhat being helpful....cheers...Message Edited by dinoshan on 03-24-200708:30 AM

Sounds like a fun and creative project and we all wish you lots of luck getting it to bed.
Another suggestion: Keep it subtle.
I'd leave the objective camera alone since you have the better image to start with. Color correct as needed, of course.
It's easy to make the Optura even worse than it really is with just minor tweaks to the levels or add a bit of blur or noise. You could go as far as adding a viewfinder reticle to some shots but you would want to create a real overlay from the camera viewfinder. Do not use the FCP filter; it's too fakey.
How about having your objective camera shown in wide screen and your subjective camera 4x3?
Hope you enjoy the project and will let us know how we can see some of it when you're done. Also hope you get a ton of interesting suggestions.

    i just purchased monthly plan for creative cloud.  I understood the plan included photoshop.  But no idea how to open photoshop app.  just keep looping into screens which instruct me to purchase creative cloud.  hugely frustrating.   on hold forever with customer service.

    First check to see your plan is active: Adobe ID
    Try launching Photoshop choosing Trial instead of a purchase.
    Mac             /Applications/Photoshop CC/Photoshop CC.app
    Windows  C:\Program files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC\Photoshop CC.exe
    Then once inside, go to Help > Sign in...  There, use the email address and password for your account and it should activate.
    If that does not work, could you tell me what version of PS you have and what os version you are using?

  • Any creative ideas for handling call priorities?

    Hi
    I am looking for creative ideas to help out my customer.  They are using UCCE 8.5.3 with CVP.  They have 3 priority levels: gold (1), silver (3) and bronze (5).  All three levels are handled by the same skill group.  There are times when they have an influx of gold calls which go ahead of silver and bronze in the queue - and therefore bronze keep getting pushed back in the queue.  How can then ensure that bronze calls get serviced within a reasonable time period while still maintaining their prioirties?
    Appreciate any creative ideas.
    W                  

    A colleague of mine just went through this same exact scenario. This is what we ended up doing… If a low priority call sat for more than 2 minutes it got moved to a higher priority. I know it’s not perfect and it doesn’t “fix” the problem but merely puts a band-aid on it in most cases until you get a large number of calls with a particular priority calling in.
    You are stuck my friend. There is nothing you can do programming wise to get around it. You need more agents when it comes to situations like this. Personally I think priority is stupid especially when you have one group of agents handling all the queues or priorities. If you use priority your incoming call pool becomes dynamic so your agent pool should become dynamic as well but managers “your customer” don’t realize this or can’t afford more agents but they still insist priority is a great idea.
    That’s my two cents anyway.
    Good Luck! You can’t please them all.

  • Creative ideas for Remote Backups and Working from Home??

    Here's my problem in a nutshell:
    My primary workstation is at my office where all my important files are stored. I backup once a month onto an external firewire drive which I (usually) keep off location in case of fire/theft etc.
    In the future I'm going to need to conduct about 75% of my work from my office and the remainder from home. I'd like to be able to work on a file at my office. Go home. Sleep. And be able to work on the same file from home the next morning.
    Any ideas for how I should do this? One solution I had was to run a nightly backup of my office computer (a tower) to a remote firewire drive at home (basically a clone). I could then plugin into the firewire drive with my laptop. This would also serve as a remote backup of my client's files.
    Does this make sense? And if so, does anyone have any suggestions or pointers in terms of easy-to-use backup software. And how complicated would it be to set this up to a remote drive? And will there be problems with remotely backing us, say, a 500 MB file?
    Cheers!

    What O/Ss are involved; are they both OS X? Home OS X, work Windows?
    Many people telecommute by running the applications remotely, with a display server connecting their application to the system they're using. For instance, my work system is Linux; all applications use X windows as their display interface. My home system is OS X, which includes an optional X windows display server. Most of the time, when I need to work from home, I run a VPN client and use 'ssh -X' from an xterm under X on OS X to log in to my office system; and then I can run any application on my office system and have it display on my OS X system.
    Similar solutions exist for most common OSs. Windows systems can run VNC or Citrix to export their display to clients that can run on OS X, Linux, or Windows; OS X can run Remote Desktop to export their display to clients that can run on Linux or OS X; etc.

  • A few questions before I buy a new iMac/Mac mini and sign up for Creative Cloud.

    Hello Everyone,
    I am looking to purchase a new Apple computer and sign up for Creative Cloud within the next week and I have a few questions that should be answered before I proceed.
    My wife and I own a business and we will be using the CS6 apps to create brochures, Constant Contact mailings, product package inserts, edit product photography for print and web use, and short HD how-to videos. We are not graphics professionals or power users and wont be doing anything too complicated.
    Any help and answers will be greatly appreciated.
    I will start with the hardware questions first:
    I am trying to decide between the iMac and the Mac mini.
    The iMac is a 2.7Ghz Quad-core Intel core i5 and comes with 4GB of memory that is expandable to 16GB, which I will do for sure. It comes with a Radeon HD 6770M graphics card with 512MB of GDDR5 memory(not upgradable), and a 1TB HDD that runs at 7200RPM. This unit meets the specs required.
    The 2.5Ghz Mac Mini comes with 4GB of memory that is expandable to 8GB, I will also do this. It has a Radeon HD 6630M graphics card with 256MB of GDDR5 memory(not upgradable), and a 500GB HDD that runs at 5400RPM. This unit meets all the spec(I think) except for the speed of the HDD.
    Question: Will the mini run the software without too much of an issue considering the speed of the HDD?
    Question: Will the iMac run the software significantly better to justify the price difference?
    I already have 1 mini(purchased 4 months ago, with the same specs listed above) and will be purchasing a second computer for my wifes desk. If the mini will run CS6 fine, that is great and we can save a few bucks. If my mini will not run CS6 well, I will get the iMac for her desk as she will be doing the bulk of the work in that regard anyway.
    Now a couple of software questions.
    After reading hundreds of reviews and forum posts over the last few days I have seen many people having this or that issue. It seems to me that most of the issues are because of upgrades from Lion to Mountian Lion after installing CS6 first or trying to open CS3,4,5 files in CS6.
    If you want to know what issues have me concerned take a look at just this one forum:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2012/07/adobe-cs-apps-mountain-lion-no-known-issues.html
    Similar issues are discussed in the Apple forums as well as many other places around the web.
    I am not a computer professional but I know enough to maintain my systems and keep them running smoothly.
    We do not have any Adobe software installed on my mini and will not be opening any files from previous versions of Adobe product in the new CS6 software. These will be a clean installs on pristine systems running fully updated Mountian Lion OS's on both machines and creating new files from scratch.
    Question: Should I be expecting any issues like the ones I have read in the forums and blogs or are these just the normal things that happen when upgrading to new software with multiple hardware configurations?
    My feeling is that we will not be having too much of a problem due to the clean installs and no files from previous versions.
    Next up, the Creative Cloud(CC) FAQ states that you can install on 2 machines but can't open stuff at the same time.
    Question: Does this mean we can't be using any CS6 apps at the same time or just not using the same app at the same time?
    Example: PS and PS on both machines at same time = No, PS on one and Dreamweaver on the other at the same time=Yes?
    The CC FAQ page says Adobe will add Lightroom 4 later in 2012 while the main CC page lists it as available now.
    Question: Which is true?
    My mini is registered to me, with my name, iTunes account, Apple ID etc.
    Question: Do I need to do the initial set-up of the new machine with all my information to ensure the CS6 suite works on both machines? Do the computers need to be registered(as far as Apple configuration is concerned) to same person for them to work on one CC account or can I install CS6 on any 2 machines regardless of how they were initially set-up?
    This may seem like a silly question but I want to avoid any problems before they happen.
    Well, those are all of my questions at the moment. To anyone who made it this far in my looooong post, Thank You so much for your time. I appreciate your expertise and knowledge and hope that you can help me make this decision.
    Cheers,
    Alex Bogdan

    Alex,
    I'll try and answer your questions as best I can.
    Qn 1 Which Mac.
    Ans:- As I understand it both units will run Adobe CS6.
              Which one really depends on what you wand from CS6. If you are looking for high end demand and performance, then I would go for the IMac
              Your Specs for the Imac are right. However if you buy your IMac straight from Apple there are even higher specs.
              You can get:-
                                  3.4 GHz i7 processor rather than the i5
                                   2GB video card as opposed to a 1Gb video card.
                                   Of course such a model will cost you more.
              In the end it is needs compared with money to spend. That is only a decision you cam make.
    Q2:- Will the higher cost for the Imac justify copst.
    Ans:- Again it depends on what demands you intend to make on the hardware and software.
              But I note you have a business and if that businees expects to high demand and high speedy performance then I suspect the Imac would be more able to provide your needs.
              Again only you will know the answer to that.
    Q3:- Questions about CS6 reliability
    Ans:- I have been with Adobe for way over 10 years.
             Speaking, only for myself, it is the most reliable software on the market.
              It is true that if you look down this form, like any other and I am thinking about the Apple discussions forum, you will find numerous instances of problems.
              Again this is only my opinion, but although all these problems are real for the individuals:-
              First it is not clear why they have the problem e.g. what have they done or not done.
              Second, they are in the minority of the total users using the hardware / software.
              The only problem I am aware of with CS6 is Acrobat X. I understand it has been sorted Adobe, however it cost me so much work I have removed it from my system and reverted to Acrobat 9
              So what I am saying is that there are only two comapnies I rely 100% on: They are Adobe and Apple.
             So if you are happy with my opinion I would not worry about Adobe CS6
    Qn 4:- CS6 0n 2 machines.
    Ans:- Yes you will not be able to run the same program similtaneosly.
               I believe, if it is important that you do run the same program together, that you can acquire a further licience from Adobe to do that.
               You would need to contact Adobe about that.
    Qn 5:- Lightroom 4
    Ans:- Lightroom is now available as part of Creative Cloud.
    Qn 6:- Set up for individual machines
    Ans:- I do not believe you do. Once you have set up your Creative Cloud account you go to the apps site and download the apps for each machine.
              Each machine downloads the apps and your machine and the apps are registered by Adobe.
             Here is something that you may want to know:-
              Because I was so unhappy loosing all the Acrobat data with Acrobat X I ended up deleting Acrobat X
              However as far as Creative Cloud is concered Acrobat X is still on my machine.
              It is not a problem for me because I am happy with Acrobat 9, it fullfils my needs and has not crashed and lost me all my bookmarks.
              However here is the point:-
              Adobe, when there was a problem with Acrobat X requested that no-one deletes the application.
             Though I do not know for certain I believe registration of the apps you have with Creative Cloud are registered with Creative Cloud in their database. Therefore were you to delete an app, it will still be registered with Creative Cloud and you will not be able to download a further copy even though the app is no longer on your    machine.
              Therefore it maybe not a good idea to delete an app when you no longer have a use for it. If you want it back I suspect you will have to contact Adobe Support
    Personal Comment:-
              It is true many unfortunately have had all sorts of problems, including me with Acrobat X.
              That said, Creative Cloud in my view has been a major advance in how Adobe delivers software. I have no regrets with signing up to Creative Cloud and I expect to remain with it.
    Hope all of that goes some way to answering your questions.

  • Can you help me with Page Layout and/or Design ideas for a software manual?

    Greetings,
    I am a new InDesign user, and am converting a software manual that I created in MS Word into InDesign. It will be converted to a pdf to view online. I have the basics (3 master pages, page numbers, running headers, 2column pages with text boxes on the left and screenshots on the right), but I want to make it look prettier. Could you please give me some ideas on page layout and/or design to make it look better or more creative?
    A few things that I am considering: borders around screenshots, a watermark, a logo next to the page numbers, different size/type of fonts, etc.
    I am open to any suggestions to make this look better. However, please understand that I am new to InDesign. With that being said, please tell me a few steps when you mention your tips. Thank you!

    Take a look at a few websites on Cannons of Page Construction.
    I think the best idea for you is to look at a few software manuals and take tips from how they accomplished the layouts.
    I'm not saying to copy them - but rather see what works and doesn't work, what worked for them might not necessarily work for you - research some layouts.
    Fonts/type/sizes etc. are pretty much ambigious without context - is this a software manual for kids (soft cuddly big fonts easy to read), technical (small, tight spacing etc), Adult friendly (smooth, crisp clear, well spaced), elderly (large elegant fonts).
    It all really depends on your demographic audience.
    Being new to InDesign I suggest you take up Sandy Cohens Quickstart Visual Guide.
    I think you should look at Michael Murphys Book on Styles
    And you should definitely get your printer (the guys bulk printing) the booklet for you on board from the start to work out optimal sizes to suit their printing presses and workflow etc. And to ensure that you are setup correctly in page sizes, margins, safe type areas, colour profiles and a few other things that your printers prepress can help you with.

  • A Few Ideas for a Future Photoshop Project

    Sorry, guys.  Everything is installed and working nicely here.  The dog has not eaten my keyboard, and I have not got any points on my CC License (only because the Photoshop cops haven't caught me yet).  So I thought I'd share this nice idea for a photo manipulation project.  There are few truely orginal ideas out there when it comes to art and expression, but I can't say as I have seen this particular one before.  (Close, but not quite)
    So I give you 88 ways to distort a hotel
    http://victorenrich.com/?post_type=product&paged=1
    A couple of tasters
    I suspect this might have been done with After Effects rather than Photoshop

    When I said "Close, but not quite" in the above post, it was Christophe Huet that came to mind.  I first came across his work some years ago with a series of images that featured homeless down-and-outs sinking into the pathment.  I remember I tried and failed to do the ripples back then.  I do a lot more 3d effects with shading nowadays, so I think I could nail it now.
    He is pretty prolific, so be warned you could spend the next hour scrolling through these.  It's impressive work though, and full of ideas to kick start your own creative juices.

  • Any ideas for a Birthday wishes video????

    Howdy folks,
    Thanks for taking a peak at this post. No technical problems--as of yet, but just wanted to hear from the crowd on some creativity with the apps.
    Any ideas for a background/slate to place behind people giving their best wishes to the birthday-boy?
    Editing on FCP, access to all of the CS applications--any thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.
    Thanks again for your time and have a great day,
    Liza

    Wow Bob,
    I can see that cowboy lasso/rope spinning on the top your head, but... watch out, I think you arm just hit your hat off your head... friendly.

  • Any ideas for a (fairly) simple program?

    Does anybody have any ideas for a fairly simple program that I could try to write (I am a fair programmer, but I'm not to creative)?

    You know, Java Game Programming for Dummies is actually a pretty good book (despite the "Dummies" part!) It is written in 1.0, but it has a "ponglet", card games, and several maze games. All the applets I've tried from them actually work (some typos in the book itself, but the CD is ok). Any of these could be "starter" code.
    Yahoo has a whole bunch of Java applet games. You could try to reproduce pieces of the games you see. (These are also interesting in the sense that you can immediately see what works in a game and what doesn't.)
    It is always fun to write little components. Cool buttons (write a nice little non-rectangular button that lights up or something), text boxes that look like digital displays, funny text labels (maybe with a weird font or with letters that jump all over the place when you mouse over them).. These don't take a whole lot of time to write, but write them well and they are very useful for your future games.
    Enjoy!
    :) jen

    How do I get the Apps onto one Ipad only for Creative Cloud??
    regards

    This was part of the original thread you responded too but I have branched out your discussion to make it more specific.  This is already discussed under the Touch Apps FAQ - http://www.adobe.com/products/touchapps/faq.html.  Here is the relevant excerpt:
    Customers who sign up for an annual membership to Creative Cloud or who buy a 12-month prepaid card at a retailer or online store will be eligible for a free month of Creative Cloud when they purchase and sign in from three qualifying Adobe Touch Apps from Google Play or the Apple App Store. This includes Adobe Collage, Adobe Debut, Adobe Ideas, Adobe Kuler, Photoshop Touch, and Adobe Proto.
    Customers who purchase an annual membership directly from Adobe and qualify for this offer will not be charged for the month of service following sign-in from their third Adobe Touch App. 
    Customers who purchase a 12-month prepaid card from a retailer or online store and qualify for this offer will have one month added to the duration of their membership.
    Creative Cloud members will be notified about their free month within 60 days of signing in to their third qualifying Adobe Touch App

  • New Idea For Comf

    I got an idea for easy use, Im using ZEN MICRO and searching music with only 300 songs takes forever..
    My idea is that we will be able to choose the number skipping songs, normaly its one by one can creative make a choice for like by 5/0/20? It will make our search and skipping much faster..

    Hmm, you're maybe right thow the fast scrolling isnt working that perfectly, i've got a problem with the volume\scrolling button so its not so good for people that have same problem..

  • Help!  Ideas for displaying ~100-300 still images with After Effects / Premiere Pro

    Hi, I am a cadet at a US Air Force detachment and am responsible for making this semester's end of the year video.
    I have the Adobe creative cloud and am familiar with the basics of Photoshop, and Premiere Pro, and I am trying to also learn After Effects.  I have a large amount of picture and video, and am at a loss for how to quickly make all these pictures into an interesting slideshow.  Software such as Cyberlink Powerdirector had a "photo grid" which would allow me to create an automatic slideshow of images on a 3x3 grid, where each image flashed into place one at a time.  I am looking for automated processes or tutorials to feed my images into and have a modern effect of displaying the images.
    If anyone has any idea for a template or where to start on handling a large amount of still images in After Effects or Premiere Pro, I could definitely use a point in the right direction!

  • I'm in the trial period for Creative Cloud - I have about 19 days to go on Photoshop CC on my iMac.  Can I use the same CC trial on a second machine?  Specifically on a Windows 7 machine?

    I'm in the trial period for Creative Cloud - I have about 19 days to go on Photoshop CC on my iMac.  Can I use the same CC trial on a second machine?  Specifically on a Windows 7 machine?

    Nothing personal to you or Rajshee, but this is exactly why I absolutely despise these "community forums" (not just Adobe but any company).  I called the Tech Support phone line today after digging and digging for a phone number, and they told me the exact opposite, and they did it a lot faster than it was possible to get a forum response.  (That's really not personal, because you can't control that, but it's a fact.)
    Their answer: As long as I'm signed in with the same ID, I can try, say, Photoshop CC on my iMac at home and also try Acrobat Pro CC on my Windows 7 machine at work.  Same account, same login, one trial.
    This makes complete sense to me as I'm financially on the hook (potentially) for the same package.  If I give away my login to someone else, which I wouldn't do, I'm still on the hook.  This is why the cloud approach to software is such genius and I applaud it.
    BTW, 99% of the "community forum" wrong answers come on Microsoft sites, so don't feel bad.

    Replying to myself. Kept trying different areas of the ipod this evening, clicking various buttons, including some I'd never used before. All of a sudden I could see my Nano in iTunes. I quickly clicked on Restore before iTunes changed its mind about recognizing the iPod. Moved some songs onto it and it appears to be back to normal.  Keeping my fingers crossed.
