You’re not a true designer until you’ve locked a layer so you won’t accidentally move it, then spent five minutes wondering why you can’t select the layer.

Adobe has ‘rearchitected’ Photoshop, Premiere and Substance 3D to work faster on computers powered by NVIDIA’s RTX Spark AI superchip.

Enhance Edge is officially out of beta! I guess you could say it’s a cutting-edge feature…😏

You’re not a true designer until you’ve scrolled through 86 fonts just to realize the first one was perfect.

This was one of my favorite interviews I've done. Thank you mucho @Pinsky for the opportunity. If anyone wants to talk about any of these things (including design lol), send me a DM.
I invited @whale on the podcast to talk about design. We barely talked about design 😅 Instead we got into ADHD, OCD, sobriety, addiction, parenting, vulnerability, mental health, Japanese, and figuring out who the hell you actually are.

Some new goodies dropped in Photoshop, including one feature I've been bugging the team to ship 😉 Tune will be in the new AI Assisted beta, rolling out this week 👀

We're not ignoring you. We're recharging our batteries 🔋 I love how @GoldieChan talks about the "introvert battery" and how it's important to regulate throughout busy days to avoid depleting.

Be honest: How many of your designs do you secretly hate? 🙈 I definitely have a few and it sounds like Adam does, as well 🤣

Today, my @YouTube channel turns 20 years old. TWENTY! 🤯 What started as a silly hobby to keep me busy while life was hitting me in the face grew into something I never could have imagined – including more than 100 million video views! My numbers may not be anywhere near what they once were, but YouTube still plays a major role in my career, especially now with the Cosmic Sans podcast. But of everything this channel has given me, there’s one thing I’ll always cherish most: meeting my wife through those early YouTube communities. ❤️ Not a bad return on a silly little hobby.

A Thread > This week, I challenged my team to share how they use Firefly Boards in their creative workflows. We called it AllOnBoards! A Board is a collaborative, infinite-canvas workspace in Adobe Firefly, built for creative ideation, mood boarding, storyboarding, and early-stage concept development. We all have stories to tell, and Boards is an incredibly powerful tool to do just that.

.@superpower is designing something that has never been designed before – a new healthcare system, for all. No SaaS dashboards to copy. No pre-written playbooks here. Just something messy, impossibly difficult and yours to design. We're a design team of < 5, but if you'd rather build the winning team than join one – DM me. You'll be early.
Most designers dream of working for Apple or similar. They want to join a team at the top. And I get it, I do. Maybe its the way I was raised, but I don't see the attractiveness in joining a winning team, quite the opposite. Especially as a designer, I'd rather work somewhere or on something that hasn't figured out design yet, where you can figure out all the problems and move something, have a real impact. I see no personal challenge (or fulfilling feeling) in joining a winning team where the bed is already made. Give me the unsexy thing nobody else wanted, give me something messy. I hope and wish more designers will see it this way in the future too, after all isn't that why we become designers in the first place?

After 15 years of workarounds, @AdobeFirefly’s new creative AI studio is something different. It’s actually keeping me inside the work. Image, video, timeline, all in one flow. Finally feels made for creators like me. ❤️ Visit link for waitlist: firefly.adobe.com/studio

Stretch it real good! Quick and simple way to create a "pixel stretching" effect in Photoshop.
