Just got a creative cloud subscription

I've been using canva to make promo materials for about a year and have been getting so much better with making cool stuff using pre-made outlines and tweaking them a lot to fit my style. I've noticed some limitations when trying to do stuff like editing designs and making shirt designs.

My work paid for the creative cloud 1 year subscription and a drawing tablet. Day 1 I realized I need to take a class and it's not nearly as easy as something like Canva.

I used Adobe Audition in college for sound editing and audio projects but thats the only one I know & it's like very basic knowledge.

Any ideas of where to start?? Which apps you guys like?? Is there an alternative to Microsoft's One Note where I can take notes using my new drawing tablet? Open to all suggestions.

I need to backup Creative Cloud Files but they don't show on the app.

I will no longer use CC and need to download all my files, but unfortunately not all my files show up on the CC desktop app, only on Web version and Mobile App (Where I can't download them in bulk). Basically there are images that should be appearing on the desktop app but they are not findable on the files section of the Desktop app. They only show up if I search each individual missing image by name, and only show up as a search result: if I press "Locate" I get a popup warning me: File not Found. Do I really have to download them manually from Mobile App to transfer to PC? Also since I will no longer pay for CC I'm very concerned to where they will go if I don't backup in time. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance

Is This Product For Me

I’m hoping someone can help steer me to a good place or confirm that I have arrived.

I have 30 VHS skateboard videos I will be having converted to digital. I plan on editing the files when I get them back into one video of childhood highlights. I would like to add music and narration to the final product as well.

Two questions:

What file format would you recommend I have them converted to for such a project?

Would you recommend CC for this project? Alternative?

I have little knowledge in video editing and welcome all feedback before I invest money and time. Thank you

Can we (you and me) nuke CC?

I love the adobe stuff, they make great apps, but CC is bloatware. Can we make a petition for a new payment tier that has no extra apps when you install? I try to use two apps but the installer puts so much junk on my computer it's crazy. there are seven background tasks taking up ram and crashing. I would almost pay MORE money to adobe just to delete all these features, or at least minimize it so its simple and not bloating my computer. Am I crazy, and what is the correct thought process here?

Paid for Creative Cloud All Apps, But Access Limited to Free Plan

Recently, I encountered a frustrating situation with Adobe's subscription renewal process. Despite agreeing to a monthly subscription fee of 211.25 NOK, inclusive of three complimentary months, the money was deducted from my credit card. To add insult to injury, instead of gaining access to all applications promised, my account now reflects a "free subscription plan". I've lost access to crucial apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign that I rely on for my work.

Seeking assistance on the Adobe website only compounded my frustration. After being connected to a human agent who acknowledged my issue as a technical glitch and promised a transfer to an IT agent, the chat abruptly ended with a message stating the agent had left. Since then, all attempts to reach another agent have been futile.

Has anyone else experienced similar issues with Adobe's subscription services? How did you resolve them? Any advice on how to navigate this frustrating situation would be greatly appreciated.

Fireworks and Dreamweaver

I am currently applying for jobs, and stumbled across a web content administrator. It involves the upkeep of multiple online stores/sites etc etc. More specifically, it states 'Preparing email campaigns by using HTML and a variety of Adobe programs (InDesign, Photoshop, Fireworks & Dreamweaver)'

I'm familiar with the Adobe basics (Photoshop, InDesign), forgive me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure Fireworks is discontinued and Dreamweaver is dated and essentially frowned upon in this modern age. Is this a red flag for the company? This is an entry-level job, why on earth would they suggest knowledge in two programs which are out of favour and discontinued!?

This is just me doing a 10-minute research, so maybe I'm wrong. Love to know people's thoughts!

Is there a way to export the final images directly from the files overview?

Or: Is there a way to bulk export images directly when viewing only the project files?

The problem: I have many product shoots in my cloud files. All files are ready to export. Now someone else wants these pictures. Would be no problem if I had them locally on my machine, I could copy them over to his machine.

Now I would have to open every single project file and hit the export button or trigger my export script, to get the final jpg or png.

I really don't want to do that :(

Is there a "bulk"-way to do something like this?

Can't uninstall a bunch of Adobe apps (wants to Sign In)

Hi all. I'm an IT consultant and, generally speaking, don't have too much difficulty these days uninstalling something, because most software vendors seem to have learned that you should be able to uninstall software from a computer without too much hassle. haha :) No so with Adobe it appears.

I have a laptop with multiple Windows users on it as it's shared among staff. One of the users installed a pile of Adobe stuff on it, Premiere Pro, Acrobat Pro, I forget but there were others as well. None of the user accounts, if you open Adobe stuff in their login, is already signed into Adobe. The one person I now suspect was the Adobe user is gone from the company, and I had already removed their Windows account from the computer. But of course the software itself stays.

If I try to uninstall the Adobe apps, I can remove Acrobat Pro, but all of the other software, including Creative Cloud itself, prompts me to sign in with an Adobe account, just to uninstall. I have no way around this apparently. I didn't see any "don't sign in, uninstall anyway" type checkboxes or the like. So this is super-dumb behaviour here.

Any thoughts? Or am I just leaving this stuff to eat up 10GB+ of space? Thanks!

Registry edit to eliminate "Creative Cloud Files Personal Folder"

If you are like me and found that there was an empty folder with the name Creative Cloud Files Personal Folder in your file explorer navigation you couldn't remove, here is the fix. open regedit and browse to this path:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace

Look through the keys until you find the Creative Cloud entry. Delete the entire key.

Next time you open file explorer, it will be gone.

Adobe Acrobat has gone to shit

It seems like every time they update it, it gets worse. Today's update has officially broken it across my company. It randomly stalls. It crashes, and often it no longer opens. What has happened to what used to be their most reliable software?

How to quickly reverse page order for document

I have an 80 page PDF that I need to completely reverse the page order on. In Acrobat Pro, is there a quick way to say, 'select all pages' then select 'reverse page order'? I can't see a way to do this but maybe there is?

Should I be launching Create Cloud App at login?

Should I have the "Launch Create Cloud at login" option turned on or off.

I notice that whenever I turn my Mac on, the little CC icon always come up on the menu bar at the top right.

Since CC needs to be running to get stuff syncing, should I just have CC running automatically when I turn my computer on? Is there any downside to not having it start at launch.

In that same vain, is there a downside to Command + Q Creative Cloud? The icon on the top right goes away whenever I do that, so I assume that means that CC is not running at all, and might affect syncing stuff from Photoshop and Lightroom.

I'm also a bit particular of what goes into my menu bar so I want to see if it's safe to only run creative cloud when needed, or if I should live with the fact that it's going to be there 24/7.
