Stuck on Page 27 of "Classroom in a Book" for Illustrator CS5

If anyone could help me, I would be so grateful! I am on page 27, about to work on creating and editing a gradient. I know how to use the selection tool, click the light yellow rectangle in the background, Edit > Copy, then View > Fit all in window. Then made the left artboard the active one...then View > Fit Artboard in Window. Choose Edit > Paste in Place.
Here is where I am stuck: "Drag the right, middle bounding point to the left until it snaps to the right edge of the left artboard". I don't know what a bounding point is, and no matter what I do, nothing is "snapping" anywhere After trying anything I could, the next part has me resizing the copied rectangle, but I can't get it to the measurements in the box shown no matter what I do....
Has anyone worked through Illustrator in this book that could help me? Or anyone who just knows it well enough? I would be so grateful! I am really trying very hard to learn Illustator, and loving it...but feel stuck!
Thank you,
Ellen Pool

Show Bounding Boxes (in the View menu) must be on.
Object must be selected with the black pointer, not the white one.
Snap to edge of Artboard is always in effect. You can't turn it offf. So dragging one of the top, bottom, or side middle handles of the Bounding Box will scale the selection horizontally or vertically, and will snap to the edges of the Artboard (or Guides). But it's conceivable that Snap To Grid might interfere, so turn that off.
Illustrator's snaps are very unreliable when zoomed out, so always zoom in if you want snaps to be accurate.

I bought the Adobe Photoshop Classroom in a Book for CS6 by accident and I have CC. I know, stupid mistake. But I can't take return the book. Is is similar enough to CC that I can still get use out of the book? Thank you so much

Each version of Adobe products builds upon the previous ones. Some things like filters and advanced features may evolve or become deprecated over time, but the basic tools have remained pretty much the same for decades. As long as you know there are subtle differences between versions, I think you will still get a great deal of value from C in a B for CS6.

There are known problems with the samples offered in the Classroom in a Book series for Premiere Elements.
Is your problem extended to all the lesson files or just some.
Please contact the publisher of the book for lessons files issues correction...there have been many.
You should see the Publisher contact information in the book somewhere.
How are you trying to open a file in Premiere Elements 12, Add Media/then what?
And what is the name of a specific file in those lessons that you are trying to open in Premiere Elements 12?
Probably, more important and to the point, can you import your own stills or videos without problems into
Premiere Elements 12?
Please update 12 to 12.1 Update if you have not already. See an opened project's Help Menu/Update.
Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

Is there a Classroom-In-a Book for SB CS4?

Aloha Friends,
I just purchased Creative Suite CS4 sometime ago and I've been having a great time learning each one of the programs. I've purchased the CS4 Classroom in a Book for many of them, but I can't find one for SB CS4. I see there is a SB CS3 Classroom in a Book. Would that edition suffice with even the content in the dvd that comes with the book?
Thanks for any help.

I too used to be a book person for software training. In the last year I have begun using video tutorials. So much easier to carry around with me! I started with lynda and later cancelled and moved over to www.designprovideo.com and macprovideo too.
I decided to buy the Soundbooth tutorial because with the high def download I keep it for life and it plays in this special player that has instant "mac esq Spotlight" search features. It's like an index for a book but better. You type in a word or part of a word and the player shows you any individual videos (from all tutorials) related to your search!
Another reason I bought it instead of streaming it is I have transfered it to my iPhone yesterday. So I was watching parts of the tutorial on the way back from a meeting with a client. No net access needed. Way cool! Sure, there is the screen size limitation - but It suprised me how much I could get from the tutorial by listening and following the action on the screen.
Still, I will miss books when they eventually are replaced by ebooks and videos.

Pantone color book for Illustrator 6

Where can I find updated color books for Illustrator to use the latest Pantone colors?
Eg. I do not find Solid Coated 2028 in my recent installation
Thanks in advance

Ask in the AI forum. Certain Pantone colors have changed over the years and this may be such a case where it appears under a different number...

Trouble with Lesson 10 in Classroom in a Book for Photoshop CS6

I'm working my way through Classroom in a Book and have hit a snag on Lesson 10 (Editing Video). The problem occurs when I do the Add Media step. As stated in the book, I select the 9 files and click the Open button. However, contrary to the book, the video files do not show up in the timeline. In the layer panel, the video layers have a little yellow error symbol and the tooltip says that video footage is not available. Here's a screenshot:
I've repeated the steps several times and always encounter the same problem. Can anyone help?
Thanks!

First thing that I would do, while gathering the info that Mylenium has asked for, is to check your video driver (Mylenium's suggestion), to see if you have the latest driver for your card. Do this from the manufacturer's Web site, and do not trust your OS to tell you, if you have the latest. Note: if on a Mac, the video driver updates will be applied, when you update your OS - update the OS.
Good luck,
Hunt

Assets for Lesson 2 in "Classroom in a Book" for Premiere Pro CC?

hey there I'm a rookie and I'm just learning Premiere. I'm using the classroom in a book series and I've come to lesson 2 and the lesson is asking me to import a project sequence from Final Cut Pro and Avid Media Composer. I don't own either of these programs. should I just skip this lesson. It is quite annoying that the book doesn't just mention that. considering the cost of owing both programs.

I am guessing the project sequences are on the disk.

I'm stuck at Lesson 8 ( Classroom In A Book Photoshop CS6)

HI! I'm a beginner in photoshop and starting to learn everything from scratch. In Page 216 where you have to convert paths to selections is where i got stucked. I made the selection and in the operation area of selection dialog box, i selected subtract from selection and i click ok. It prompted 'Warnings: Pixels are not more than 50% selected.The selection edges will not be visible'. I'm not sure why as i followed the steps properly and did this few times. Anybody have any clue? Thanks!

It means that the remaining pixels are present, but more than 50% transparent.
Was your first selection feathered ?
With the first selection tool enabled you can see in the property bar if there's an entry for Feather.

This menu has four boxes you can hover over and click ( i completed the whole lesson so its ready to go) and well when you go to test (command + enter) the flash movie plays but it plays on a custom loop over and over. I went to the top and went under control and deselected loop and it still does it and or it stops but then nothing is clickable.. what gives?? the lesson had me design the menu so you are able to hover over and have a box appear and then when you click it makes a sound and then after you click a new window pops up with info about that particular button and well when you test it it loops through at the blink of an eye and none of the buttons work and it just plays like a movie. I can email the file to get some answers but i just need some help so please if you have read this book or have the book you may know what i am talking about.

Hi, I am also experiencing the same issue. The code that's inserted in frame 1 (actions) appears as follows:
stop();
gabelloffel_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, restaurant1);
function restaurant1(event:MousEvent):void
gotoAndStop("label1");
garygari_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, restaurant2);
function restaurant2(event:MousEvent):void
gotoAndStop("label2");
ilpiatto_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, restaurant3);
function restaurant3(event:MousEvent):void
gotoAndStop("label3");
pierreplatters_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, restaurant4);
function restaurant4(event:MousEvent):void
gotoAndStop("label4");
/* Click to Go to Frame and Stop
Clicking on the specified symbol instance moves the playhead to the specified frame in the timeline and stops the movie.
Can be used on the main timeline or on movie clip timelines.
Instructions:
1. Replace the number 5 in the code below with the frame number you would like the playhead to move to when the symbol instance is clicked.
movieClip_2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame);
function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame(event:MouseEvent):void
gotoAndStop(1);
When you test the movie, the following errors appear:

Problem Playing AVI Files From Adobe Classroom In A Book

Hiya,
I just bought the Adobe Classroom In A Book for Premiere Pro CS4. However, when I try to run Lesson 1, Premiere Pro appears to be having a cow with the AVI file needed for the project. It tells me that the codec is missing or unavailable. I'm using a MacBook Pro on Leopard and, according to the updater agent, I'm up-to-date. Has anyone tried this book? And run into problems? Any solutions to offer me? This is driving me bonkers!
Please and thank you!

Hm-m, the DV-Type II's *should* play fine in QT. At least they do with QT on my PC. Adobe is usually pretty good at getting their CiaB assets X-platform. Wonder what's going on here. I think that this is the third thread on CiaB assets not playing on a Mac. Odd indeed, and probably just a "mess up" on someone at Adobe Press.
Had similar with a Painter 3.0 book, years ago. The author had to send me 11 CD's before we found one that had the PC files on it. All the rest were Mac-only and she was really pissed at her publishing house. However, she hung in there, and we got it sorted out.

I have had LR4 since last August.Have just decided to start using it.I have an IMAC 10.9.3 version. Am trying to learn with "Classroom in a Book. Ton of problems.Adobe will not help because it is to old and they no longer support. Can anyone tell where I

Did anyone see the post I made about LR 4?Just in case I will post again. I have LR4 I bought last August and just now I am trying to learn this >I have "Classroom in a Book" for LR4 lots of problems . I have a IMAC version 10.9.3. I tried different Adobe sites. They will not give me the Time of day because they say they no longer support this program. Can anyone here tell me where I can get support for this LR$ that Adobe no longer recognizes. Thank you My name is Jerry S. MY e-mail is [email protected] and phone number is 563-344-7910.

Okay I will try. First I have lost pictures in catalogs and could not find again.I have tried reinstalling LR4 and when I do and reopen LR4 the same catalog appears in the panel and filmstrip and I have no idea how to get rid of that catalog and start over at square one like it was the frist time it was opened. That would be a big help and I think I start over and avoid the same problems.
