Question about Photoshop - Muse workflow

I'm new to Muse. Long time PS and InDesign user. Watched a bunch of Muse videos and it seems this may do what I need.
I'm building a simple 4-5 page website for a Gallery.
I've already designed the pages in Photoshop CC.
Essentually, full screen photos, A black rectangle (In PS it is raster not a path) Witrh some type and drop shadow effects. A couple other elements from Illustrator (placed as smart objects) have blend modes and opacity changes.
So my question. Should I just start from scraatch in muse and build these elements? Or, can I say place a PSD with the background image, black "path" text, illustrator graphic with blend modes.
When is it better to bring in elements (text with effects, illustrator graphics, etc) via Photoshop, or piece by piece in Muse?
Thanks
Alex

Yes, as long as you have sites out there that use paid-for type-kit fonts, you'll need to maintain your subscription with typekit, in the same way we must continue our subscriptions to CC to use Adobe apps. As I understand it, however, for sites we create using typekit fonts included with CC, even after we've stopped paying for CC, those "free" typekit fonts will still work on sites we've created.
I'd say to go typekit.com, and do some reading, and some searching to make sure they have the fonts you want to use. So far, I'm not a Typekit subscriber, except the small part of their font library that comes included with Adobe CC.
In the meantime, I'm using more and more of Google's free web fonts. Typekit and Google each has its own specific workflow, for integrating fonts in Muse. I recommend that you go to Google.com/fonts, and get acquainted with their type system. It comes down to copying certain snippets of code to specific places in Muse, then editing html within Muse for type color, etc. -- I probably spent a week or so doing trial and error (not necessarily in that order) before I got it to work. Now I just keep a few "reference" Muse documents around that I can refer to when needed.
As I unserstand it, Typekit's workflow is a bit different than Google's, but there are plenty of threads in this forum and info on how to do it that you can Google.
Webfonts is where you slowly move into the code arena with Muse. And this is even more true styling business catalyst forms. My way of doing it is to discover how it works once, then I forget it completely, because I don't want to be more of a geek than I already am.  :+)  So I keep sample Muse documents around for reminding me how it works when I need it again.
Good luck, and happy learning!  :+)

  • Questions about Adobe Muse CC single-app membership.

    When speaking to adobe customer service reps about Adobe Muse I feel like their taking me around in circles. My annual membership to the current Adobe Muse is going to expire in June. So before I sign on for another year I had some basic questions that seem to be baffling the adobe reps. one rep called Travis just hung up on me.
    My questions;
    With an Adobe Muse CC single-app membership.
    Can I host a site on Business Catalyst for free?
    The rep said I have to purchase Business Catalyst separately from Adobe Muse
    This adobe page says, “An Adobe Muse CC one-year single-app membership includes hosting for one webBasics site
    (http://www.adobe.com/au/products/muse/faq.edu.html)
    How much space do I get on www.creativecloud.comwith a single-app membership?
    The rep said I get 20GB when Adobe Muse becomes Adobe Muse CC in June
    I currently have Adobe Muse and I have 20GB of space on creative cloud.
    This adobe page says I get 10 GB (http://www.adobe.com/au/products/muse/faq.edu.html)
    This adobe page says I get 20 GB (http://www.adobe.com/au/products/muse/features.edu.html)
    Can someone pleas answer these questions!

    With an Adobe Muse subscription, you get BC website hosting for 1 webBasics site. With a subscription to the creative cloud, hosting for 5 webBasics sites are included.
    Single app subscriptions get 20GB of storage space on creative cloud.
    I'll try to get that first link updated with the correct info.

  • Few questions about Photoshop CS4 Student Edition

    I'm thinking of getting a DSLR camera in the summer, so (since I'm a geek) I want to make sure I've got all the software I'll need to edit the photos once I've taken them. The catch is that I graduate from university this year, so if I'm going to buy Photoshop (ie if I'm going to _afford_ Photoshop) I need to do so in the next couple of months to get the educational discount.
    I've just got a few questions as to whether I actually need Photoshop CS4 for my situation:
    *I already have Lightroom 2 (courtesy of Amazon Vine!) for processing RAW files, doing basic colour adjustment etc. Would I get £150 worth of extra usage from Photoshop CS4 compared to Lightroom?
    *What DRM/copy protection does Photoshop CS4 use? Is it the same that's used in Lightroom 2 (hasn't given me any problems) or the Macrovision stuff that installs a background service (called something like 'Adobe LM monitor') on your computer?
    *If I need to reactivate over the phone some time in the future (e.g. when I move to a new computer and I've already used the activations) do I still need to be a qualifying student?
    Reckoned there wouldn't be a better place to ask these than PS forums :)

    >then you just don't know enough about photoshop.
    Actually, if you had read the initial post you'd realise that I'm fully aware that Photoshop is hugely powerful. However it doesn't offer enough benefit for my usage (ie retouching of amateur photos) to make it worth the money + computer infection. My above post wasn't an attempt to say that Photoshop is bad, or that Gimp or any of these other freeware programs are even in the same league, I was just stating that my own need for Photoshop's power isn't great enough to make me want to install spyware.
    >hmmm how about A PAYING JOB! i think that's what the clincher is for most folks.
    True, but (again, as I explained above) I'm not a professional photographer/graphic artist/etc. and therefore there is no 'need it for work' motivation.

  • Question about Photoshop scratch disk and specific setup

    Hi Folks
    Thanks for the help in advance.
    I'm a novice and need help finding a solution to a new PC Build. (Windows 7 Pro 64bit with Photoshop CS6)
    I only recently found out about having a scratch disk dedicated for photoshop (very novice i know ), and was wondering if a 120-128GB SSD would be enough? (Please bear in mind I can't fit large SSD raid configs to my budget, plus I live in New Zealand, so prices are higher for SSD at the moment). 
    I only edit single camera RAW files at a time around 25mb per file, with no large amount of layers and very rarely do large images i.e. Panorama etc.  I have searched the forums but could not find a concrete answer.
    My setup was originally meant for a HTPC (I don't intend to overclock), but I will also be using it for light photography projects. Specs below:
    CPU: Intel i7 3770
    Mobo: Asrock B75 Pro3-M (or Asus P8H77m Pro, depending on budget)
    16gb Ram (maybe bump up to 32gb later)
    120-128gb SSD for OS and apps
    120-128gb SSD scratch disk
    2 TB HDD for storage
    If anyone knows, the motherboards I've listed have 3x Sata3 ports, Asrock has one Intel chip and two Asmedia controlled Sata3 ports, while Asus has 2x Intel controlled and 1x Marvell controlled Sata3 port.  If I went with the Asrock, would it be okay to connect the OS/Apps SSD to the intel controlled sata3 port and have the scratch disk and storage HDD to the Asmedia sata3 ports?
    And one more novice question, when I begin to edit my images, is it best to transfer my photos from memory card to storage HDD then work from there? Or would it be quicker opening images direct from a USB 3.0 card reader / USB 3.0 external hard drive?
    Thanks again everyone, really appreciate it

    Just to clarify, if/when I get one 256gb SSD for my main C: drive, I can load the OS/Apps and store some data for the time being (until I get another SSD) and use the 2TB HDD for scratch disk only?
    Yes, that's what I meant.  You could try putting Photoshop scratch on C: at least temporarily, and watch your free space carefully.  If you don't work on big documents or set your history states to be very large, it might be workable.  But be careful.  The safe "set it and forget it" configuration is to make your HDD the one and only Photoshop scratch drive.
    When I do get around to getting the second 256gb, I will look at installing the two SSD's in RAID configuration.  If i were to do this, can I load the OS/Apps to the RAID SSD's as well as using them for scratch disks and have the 2TB HDD for storage? I hope that makes sense.
    Sounds about right; with 512GB on tap you should be able to run just about everything from C:, as long as you don't keep your entire photo library on there.  Realistically, on a big system that's got a lot of apps installed and has been used for some time, Windows and your apps may end up consuming 100 to 150 GB, so that would still leave you a lot of breathing room.
    Keep in mind that what you describe may require 3rd party re-partitioning software and/or backup and restoral, or a complete reinstallation of Windows and everything (usually the latter is what is recommended when moving up to a RAID system volume).
    By the way, SSDs stay in best working order if you overprovision - i.e., maintain a fair amount of free space.  The internal controllers need the free space to keep the data organized well and maintain top performance.

  • I have a question about photoshop elements 11

    can i create templates on elements 11 of customize templates of skins on games with elements 11

    I believe that Amazon (the actual Amazon, and not semi-affiliated merchents) WAS a certified Adobe reseller. However, with the CC (Creative Cloud), I am not sure about that any longer - others can verify their certification.
    As CS 5 is discontinued software, I would NOT expect Adobe to be selling that version - anywhere.
    Research ANY reseller, and very, very carefully.
    Also, do gain the rights to manipulate and post ALL © material - that is not only smart, but also honest and ethical.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - you might also want to explore two other, current Adobe programs: Photoshop Elements 11, and Premiere Elements 11. They are often sold in bundles, for about the MSRP on one. Together, they will handle most Still Image editing needs, and also Video creation and editing. They are both very inexpensive, but powerful programs.

  • Question about Photoshop

    What is the difference between:

    Believe me, there was never a free trial for PE 4. They may have assumed, and the free trial for PE 3/mac was up for many months after PE 4/mac was released, but there was never a free trial for the mac version of PE 4, although there was one for the windows version. I am sure of this. It's my business to know.

  • Few questions about UCM in workflow and migration

    1)For workflow is there a way to search for items not yet released, if not could someone maybe point me to a way customize the "Active Workflows" page to change the column.
    2)While migrating some tables for drop down selection I noticed the table transfered but not the data in the table. I was using the Confid Migration Admin tool to do this and I was wondering if I'm missing something.

    1)For workflow is there a way to search for items not yet released, if not could someone maybe point me to a way customize the "Active Workflows" page to change the column.You can search all items in the Release Manager applet. Could you specify what items you would like to search for? (use-case?) Note that OOTB only reviewers and/or admins should see the item in a certain workflow step.
    You can certainly customize workflow pages to modify columns (add/remove/rename, etc.). It's an iDocScript customization of few includes (I can send you names, if you will.). But what is the link between these two requirements?
    2)While migrating some tables for drop down selection I noticed the table transfered but not the data in the table. I was using the Confid Migration Admin tool to do this and I was wondering if I'm missing something.
    Could you specifically describe what was your config in CMA and what table you intended to migrate? In general, I'd believe you need to use the Archiver, not CMA - see http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/doc.1111/e10792/c08_migration.htm#CHDJAABJ (read the whole chapter for further details)

  • Question about Photoshop Elements 11, Windows 8, and new Dell Computer

    Since I bought a new Dell Inspirion 660 computer, running Windows 8, my Photoshop Elements 11 occassionally gives me an error message saying I cannot save the file because I do not have enough RAM.  I have 8GB of RAM.  I never had this problem on my Old Dell Windows XP computer.  Any suggestions?

    Try reinstalling the application and see if this works.

  • Question about Domain | Muse as Subscription (not a Cloud Member Yet)

    Hi everyone,
    right now I have Muse bought on a basis of a "yearly subscription".
    I was wondering if this includes a hosting option via Business Catalyst? Or do I even have more than one possible  hosting option?
    And where do I find these settings in my Abobe account?
    Best Pink

    Your Muse subscription includes virtually unlimited free trial sites on Adobe Business Catalyst plus hosting for one site using the "webBasics" hosting plan on Adobe Business Catalyst. There are tutorials on using Muse at http://muse.adobe.com/tutorials.html and one specifically for "Launching A Muse Site To Push It Live". You can also upload Muse created sites to other hosting providers using the built-in File > Upload To FTP Host... feature or by using File > Export as HTML... and then using a separate FTP application for uploading.
