#Adobe #Photoshop gibt es jetzt als Webanwendung. Was mir ausdrücklich gefällt ist, dass das Team darauf geachtet hat auch #Firefox zu unterstützen. Mein Pixel 6 Pro fällt da wohl nicht darunter :-)

https://photoshop.adobe.com

Erklärt mir bitte nicht, dass es #Gimp, #Photoscape oder sonst was gibt. Das wird dann ein Instantblock.

ElRinconDePepelu preguntó por Discord si había una alternativa al relleno generativo de #Photoshop, y como para mí no hay mejor/peor inteligencia que la humana y artificial que la que alojo, configuro y entreno yo, recomendaría Invoke.AI para empezar.

Eine Frage zu #Adobe #Acrobat:

Gefühlt alle paar Wochen werden meine Einstellungen und damit auch der individuelle Arbeitsbereich zurückgesetzt oder es ändert sich einfach das gesamte Layout, erst in eine neue Benutzeroberfläche, dann wieder zurück (WTF Adobe!).

Das Anordnen der einzelnen Werkzeuge ist sehr unpraktisch – mittlerweile helfe ich mir, mit einem Screenshot alles nachzubauen.

Gibt es eine Möglichkeit den eigenen Arbeitsbereich zu speichern, wie in anderen Anwendungen auch?

I was digging into old stuff a while ago and found out the government used Inkscape and all on school computers around the 2000s and 2010s.

Another one is #GIMP.

The catch? They have it as under “GIMPshop” so it’s just modified GIMP to look like photoshop.

There is no circle tool.

Were these guys just hesitant to pay for #Adobe or stuff? Nowadays I can use Adobe stuff for free under my school until I leave school.

And after you leave high school you're too old for GIMPshop, apparently 😭

Adobe Photoshop now lets you create images with the Firefly generative AI, but Getty Images and its iStock division still doesn't accept AI-generated images. No surprise, but they are actively telling their contributors.

Die Kunden – vor allem Werbeagenturen, Kreative und Marketingexperten – müssen damit rechnen, dass ihre Abos bald zehn Prozent teurer werden. Ab November soll jedes Bild, das mithilfe der KI erzeugt wird, ungefähr fünf Cent kosten. Dafür gibt es mit Adobe anders als bei vielen anderen Tools keine Rechtsunsicherheiten, so das #Handelsblatt

Cancelling my Adobe sub feels bittersweet. I haven't been doing as much this year and really can't afford another $700+ bill in November. But I will miss Substance Designer and Painter a lot.

Nothing in Blender compares as much as we would want it to.

Material maker is janky and also doesn't produce results nearly as well. It's ok! But it's not great.

But it looks like Mari has a free non-commercial option so.. yay! Looks like I'll try that out

My #drawing companion Buddy and I went looking for local #apples. We crossed the #RioGrande to #Corrales and drove north until we saw an #orchard sign. Lovely #adobe buildings, a sheet on the shop door said take care as you step down. We discussed apple sorts and history, the owner said the farm had been in their family since 1898, originally a #vineyard. Buddy and I bought a brown paper bag of apples, the paper to become a sketchbook cover. #NewMexico #Watercolor #DogsofMastodon

A pencil drawing painted with watercolor of a small farm. Several adobe buildings, many apple trees, a pickup truck, an old orange tractor and the Sandia mountains can be seen.

@pfriedma omg yeah. It's often insulting. This issue could be solved solely by Adobe including RTL support in all their product versions, but for some reason, their text tool still does not support RTL in 2023, and you'd have to use a separate RTL text tool, which is only available in MENA versions, to type in Arabic. Come on Adobe, text editors figured this out in '98!

UBS analysts say Adobe's Firefly family of generative AI tools, paid for with a November Creative Cloud subscription price hike, will increase Adobe's revenue by $400M–$500M next fiscal year.

"While Adobe’s pricing leverage is impressive, the pace of such moves has clearly picked up and some may fairly question whether this is in response to moderating user/seat (non-price) growth."

Back when #Icelandic publishers were getting started with #ebooks I warned them that the only way to combat #Amazon was by selling their stuff without #DRM and thus be able to reach #Kindle owners.

They decided to go with #Adobe DRM which mostly served to confuse customers who came to the conclusion that buying Icelandic ebooks was just too complicated. A few years later they gave up on DRM but the damage was done.

It's easy to go overboard with those saturation/vibrancy sliders.
#adobe

How saturation changes the feel of a photo.
Highly saturated photos can look artificial, so use saturation with care — especially if you’re going for a natural look. Many people can tell when photo saturation has been altered. We judge the health of plants and the freshness of food by color, so we notice unnatural saturation shifts very quickly.

If you want to create surreal images, you might make larger shifts in saturation. But for realistic pictures, keep real-world references in mind as you edit, so you don’t overdo the colors. “It’s rare to see pure colors in nature because ambient light makes colors less saturated,” says photographer Heather Barnes. “That’s why you have to be really careful in post to not overly saturate your color.”

John Warnock, the CEO and founder of Adobe passed away. I wish his family well and hope that their memories are full of joy.
I had the sheer luck of being tapped to work on Acrobat after two and change years of working on PostScript printers. Acrobat was very much John's brainchild and even though it had its own management structure, John was very much interested in what was going on and shaped changes in the application. Some of the Mac engineers had a routine of going to the cafeteria together: me, Nathan Graham, Mike Pell, and Alan Wootton. Sometimes we had Mike Diamond who was on the Windows team.
From time to time, as we were finishing up, John would come to our table and keep someone behind for a one-on-one. This happened often enough that we called get it "getting Warnocked". Usually John had seen something in the app that got him excited and wanted it to be better and would do an end run around the actual process to get what he wanted. Often his instincts were good, but engineering suffered as a result. But, hey, you don't say no to the CEO.
I was formally brought onto the team to work on full-text search, but was immediately grabbed by the main Acrobat team to work on the product and fix bugs.
At one point, I had an awful medical incident that cost me a 3 week hospitalization. Afterwards, I was home for a month recovering and working part time. At this point, I was getting search working on the Mac and tried to catch up with Carla Orthlieb who had a big head start on the product. While I was recovering, I was messing around with molding and casting as a hobby and had an idea to make "comedy lobotomy scars". Jeremy Weiss, a friend from college who was in med school, sent me suture kits and detailed instructions for tying sutures. I made the scars from clay, made plaster molds, and cast the prosthetics in latex and tied in sutures. Karin Jurcevich, our administrative assistant, used to work at a makeup counter at Nordstrom's and brought in a makeup kit and we worked to apply the scars and make them look realistic. On company time.
This was of course the day that John had been trying out the early Mac search release and came by my cube to Warnock me. As we were talking I was watching his eyes. They kept flicking from from my eyes to my forehead to my eyes to my forehead. I ignored him, and waited for the awkwardness to reach its apex and I interrupted him and pointed to the scars and said, "John, they're not real. It's a joke. Since I was away for a couple months, I thought it would be hilarious to come back with lobotomy scars." John took out his glasses and looked closer and started laughing. "I thought it was plastic surgery!" John had a good sense of humor and didn't mind when his employees were weird as long as they produced results.
Farewell, John. #Acrobat #pdf #adobe #memory

Seems Adobe Stock is a bit lackluster at monitoring uploads to their own services. Artists have found their names used as search terms for hundreds of images generated using their names as prompts that have been uploaded for sale at $80 an image.

Literally other people selling artwork in someone else's style they co-opted to make a buck.

Adobe's neglect in favor of profit is dismissive at best, predatorial at worst. Bad either way.

I've used #Adobe products, especially Photoshop (I started with v2 in 1992) daily for over 30 years. For the past two weeks, however, I have exclusively used competing software and, so far, I've not encountered any issue that required me to return to the safety blanket of #Photoshop, Illustrator or In-Design. In fact, even for someone like me, who is a dyed-in-the-wool Photoshop user, I'm already finding improvements and more intuitive functions.

Adobe Photoshop now complains about my GPU inadequacy: apparently my 10 yr old GTX 770M on my still-going-stron Alienware laptop doesn't cut it anymore I feel less of a graphic artist. Maybe I should get a pickup truck to compensate.

As if forced mobile device obsolescence wasn't bad enough, now Software-as-a-service is now forcing you to upgrade your hardware. Never mind that the old hardware ran the software just fine all this time. "Well, the NEW features need the new hardware" "yeah, but I don't need the new features. Disable them so I can get to work with the old features on my old hardware" "Oh.. uh.. urm, well it doesn't work that way" "Ok, let me run the old version that was just fine." "Oh no, you can't do that! How will you experience the flavour of the NEW FEATURES with the old bogus software?" sigh.

Apparently there's a a cross-over between Magento and Twitter.

In 2011, when eBay acquired Magento (an open source e-commerce CMS), it was intended to become part of eBay's "X Commerce Group" at www.x.com. No doubt a domain eBay had inherited from the time where Musk was involved.

Today, that domain of course redirects to Twitter.com.

そういう意味では #Adobe そのものより、そのフォーマットに依存してる業界のほうへの問題意識のほうが大きいところあるかも。
(もちろんトップシェアの #Adobe#オープンフォーマット をもっと推進してくれればいいけど、原理的にその動機はユーザーと業界側から生まれ安いはずだし、そっちから声を上げるなりアクション取らないとなんだろうなという気がする

#Adobe が税金という状況があるのは理解してるけど、それでいいかというと良くない。
やっぱりクリエイティブ業界も #オープンフォーマット #オープンスタンダード にしないといけないと思う。
その上で結果的に #Adobe がトップシェアになるなら全然問題ないと思ってる :tony_smirking:
