I'm in agreement with John. If it was subjected to enough rough handling in transit to break open the box and for that black plastic spacer/shock isolator to come out, it certainly could have been damaged. Even if I installed it anyway and it worked initially, I wouldn't trust it. If it wasn't damag...

Adobe actually has three Photography plans: 1) Photoshop&Lightroom(cc and classic) 20GB 9.99/month, 2) Photoshop&Lightroom(cc and classic) 1TB 20.99/month, and 3) Lightroom (CC only) 1TB 9.99/month. These have been offered for a while, it isn't anything new. It looks like Adobe is doing mark...

My S3 uses Gorilla Glass in the display. That's hardened and scratch resistent. I couldn't find the spec for the S5e, but I would expect that it would too. Now that treetops mentions it, Logitect is a reputable company and makes some excellent keyboards. I haven't looked at the keyboard/covers thoug...

Hi John, I like the Galaxy Tab S series tablets very much. I bought the Tab S3 when it first came out and I've been very happy with it. The S3 is a little smaller (9.7") than the S5e, but has a similar cover/keyboard. I used the Samsung cover/keyboard in the store and decided it wasn't for me. ...

all the editing seemed to be done in the app I think he did that mainly to concentrate on the effects rather than the editing, and, the ability to edit in the field made it easier to demo the motion stabilization. Also, he seemed hooked on the apps ability to use the phone's directional functionali...

Just noticed, Photopills has a drone planner mode: https://www.photopills.com/blog/drone-update

If you are interested in this kind of app, you should also take a look at Photopills. These two apps are very similar in their main functionality and are within a dollar of each other in cost. Photopills was originally an iOS app but now it's available on Android too. I've seen more references to Ph...

The Adobe Creative Cloud all apps plan has that. It comes in three versions: Annual prepaid ($599.88/year), Annual paid monthly ($52.99/month with one year commitment), and Monthly ($79.49/month). Monthly is a month-to-month plan with no annual contract that can be cancelled or reinstated anytime us...

I have heard from someone that is quite high up on the tech side, that after having done numerous tests which they did themselves they are now convinced. What is this person doing with a collection of malware samples large enough and new enough to test and make any sort of a valid conclusion. ;) I ...

A poltergeist seems like as good an explanation as any. ;) I think there may have been a bit of corruption in the Photoshop preferences file that was causing the guides in the new document preset to be ignored and not be added to the new document. Adding the new guide seems to have acted like that s...

If everything is working properly, the only thing that I'm aware of that would cause that to be grayed out is that there are no guides in the document. First, we need to determine whether it's working properly. There should guides present in the NTSC DV new document preset. Let's verify that by maki...

Guides can be hidden or shown. Sounds like your guides are hidden. You can toggle them on or off by using the keyboard shortcut ctrl+; or use the main menu: View>Show>Guides. Guides can be saved along with the image in a PSD file, but they aren't part of the image and only display in Photoshop -- no...

OK, Photoshop CS5 works a bit differently, but pretty close. As it turns out, I still had my old copy of Photoshop CS5 which I used to verify the process and get screen shots for you. Set the background color to black. This should be the default unless you changed it. Now open a new document, where ...

Am I in the ballpark of understanding here? Is there a better way? Close, You're in the ballpark, but in the cheap seats with a structural column blocking your view of home plate. Now let's get you into the good seats. I'm going to try to give generic instructions that apply to most versions, but i...

Installed my upgrade to version 4 yesterday and tried it out. I like it! A lot!

Here is their version 4 walkthrough:
