Reviewing the new Forms tools | Learn InDesign CS6 | Adobe TV

Take a tour of the new form field-related buttons, dialog boxes and menu commands in InDesign. Compare the old and new ways of creating interactive forms.

The big problem I see, is if you change the artwork - you'll have to redo all your acrobat tweaks for every field. Before CS6, when the fields were saved in the Acrobat file, you'd simply replace the page behind the fields and all the settings stayed the same.
If I'm making a multi-page form, with dozens of fields, and all I want to do is change a quick spelling error or something, I'll fix it in Indesign, export, and have to redo all the acrobat field changes over again, thereby making this field function in Indesign useless for any piece that needs regular updating.
I really hope I'm wrong. Can you think of a solution for this? How can I maintain the field tweaks done in Acrobat should I need to change the artwork?

  • Using the new Crop tool | Learn Photoshop CS6 | Adobe TV

    Cropping is one of the most common operations in Photoshop. So it's only fitting that the Crop tool has experienced a quantum leap in CS6. In this movie, watch how to preview the angle of your image to confirm that your crop is plumb. You can revisit a crop any time you like, so you never waste effort. And by default, the Crop tool hides pixels instead of permanently deleting them.

    I just installed the new PhotoShop CS6 on my iMac - I am used to it on Windows PC.  Now, when I crop, it does not resize the image to my 640x320 px (it keeps the original size)

    A good tutorial/introduction but I have no idea why in the world would anyone go through all this instead of copy/paste in two key strokes??? this is not a feature, it's just bloat for the sake of being "kind of cool."
    as for the actual interface - "you can't drag and drop"  that would make too much sense.... "don't use the esc key" that would make too much sense....

    In the beginning it says, "using my smart guides" and yet I don't see any smart guides. Nor does doing what I think is the exact same thing being told here produce results that are equal. When I click on a point, let go of the mouse and click on a 2nd point and then continue the process I start getting mirror triangles and then as I progress things start getting really weird. Obviously a few details were left out. No, I would have to say not a good place to be if you are truly a beginner as I am--too many steps left out, too many assumptions (like thinking I am aware of all the terminology) etc. Time to look elsewhere to learn. I thank Adobe nevertheless.

    Painful. WAY WAY WAY too much extranious detail, wastes a lot of time explaining the obvious. this could be 1/2 the length and far better by just going thru the details that REALLY matter, not the million options explanations side trips that confuse the basic info / workflow being presented.

  • Where do I activate the new crop tool also in ACR?

    Is it possible to get the same cropping tool in ACR, which already exists in LR4 and PS CS6?
    When Photoshop CS6 was released the crop tool within Photoshop itself was updated with a new interface, similar to that in Lightroom. Why did Adobe not also update the crop tool in ACR, Adobe Camera Raw? As it is an essential part of Photoshop CS6?
    Basically, why does ACR 7 still have the old crop tool interface, while the Lightroom and Photoshop products both are having the new crop tool interface?
    Or have I missed a setting somewhere to turn on the new cropping tool in ACR as well?
    Thanks in advance!

    No, not possible at this time.
    I believe you're not the first to request it as a feature from Adobe.

  • The new shape tool

    Hello everyone.
    First, thanks a lot for the new shape tool. The stroke options (finally!!!) are great!!!! \o/\o/\o/\o/\o/ (now my Firework Lovers Friends will stop picking up on me for doing vectors in PS)
    I just find it to be a little hidden. After the shape layer is created, selecting it while the selection tool is active shows nowhere the Fill and Stroke options. I have selection and alignment options at the top, and the properties panel will show the shape´s masking properties.
    In order to change the Fills and Strokes options, I have to change the tool I´m using, either to the Pen tool, or the shape tool, so the top bar will change into Shape options. That´s the same functionality as, lets say, the text tool (it does not show Font and Paragraphs options anywhere when a Text layer is selected with the selection tool. It shows again alignment and selection options above, and "No properties" under the properties panel). But characters have their own panel, so I can leave that one open, and as soon as I select a Text layer with the V tool, I can visualize what font it is, what size, etc just by looking at the Character panel.
    As far as I noticed, there´s no "Shape Panel" I can leave opened to see Fill and Stroke options immedially. Wouldn´t it be nice to have one?
    Also, maybe that "Properties" panel is underused. Most layer I select fall under the "No properties" category. Maybe the options we get above when changing the type of tool (as when selecting a text layer and chaging to the text tool, or a shape layer and chaging to shape tool), could be displayed there. For me at least makes sense that a text font, size, color, etc  fall under "properties". The same for a shape´s Fill and Stroke properties. This way, we´d need to leave only one panel opened to get instant info and ability to change those (instead of having to leave the Character and Shape panel opened, for instance).

    Thanks for the feedback. I think you have some good suggestions here, and will pass them on.
    Thanks again.
    Cheers
    Pete
