Adobe MUSE Fundamentals

April 5, 2013 - Adobe , Technology , Web - by Mark - 18 Comments

I am giving a webinar on April 9 covering the fundamentals of Adobe MUSE for educators and needed to prepare some slides and demonstration materials. In reviewing my weblog entries, I realized that I have not included a post on this tool. I thought it might be helpful to provide […]

Photoshop Touch for Phones

March 18, 2013 - Adobe - by Mark - No Comments

Adobe released their Photoshop Touch app for both iPhone and Android phones on Feb. 27, 2013. Since I already have the tablet version (and created a cheatsheet for its use), I wanted to briefly review this new version for phones. Given that most of us have a smartphone readily available, […]

Adobe Brackets Revisited

March 11, 2013 - Adobe , Technology , Web - by Mark - No Comments

Last July, I examined the Adobe Brackets tool (for editing HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files). That version was Sprint 10. I am now working with Sprint 20 and think it is about time to review the tool again. A lot has changed. Many thanks to Ray Camden for recently providing […]

Edge Reflow – the code

February 25, 2013 - Adobe , Technology , Web - by Mark - No Comments

Last week, I examined the recently released Adobe Edge Reflow tool itself. I thought it might be worthwhile to examine the generated code. For reference purposes, the file I created last week is the one I plan to examine in this current weblog post. As mentioned last week, these generated […]

Adobe Edge Reflow – first look

February 18, 2013 - Adobe , Technology , Web - by Mark - No Comments

Responsive design (where content is modified to display on a given device) is easy to discuss and sometimes difficult to implement. Not only should your text be positioned properly for various devices, but images and fonts should respond accordingly. The days of having a website which can be only viewed […]

I had the honor of being invited to speak at the Adobe Education Exchange Live event in Toronto, ON (November 8 and 9, 2012). In addition to the event, I was also able to participate in the Adobe Design Achievement Awards ceremony in the evening (Nov. 9). I thought that […]

CSS Filters

October 4, 2012 - Adobe , Technology - by Mark - 2 Comments

The world of CSS is changing rapidly and CSS-filters are definitely a great indication of what is coming to a browser near you soon. In order to actually work with these, you will need Chrome Canary (the experimental version of Chrome). Note that you can run this version alongside your […]

Connection Revolution

September 22, 2012 - Adobe , ICC , Technology - by Mark - No Comments

I participated in the ICC Great Technology Seminar on Sept. 21, 2012. It was a great event and an excellent chance to discuss many aspects regarding innovative uses of technology in the classroom (and beyond). There were a limited number of seats in these sessions. I thought those who could […]

Tutorial Builder

September 7, 2012 - Adobe , Technology - by Mark - No Comments

I recently posted a short note about Adobe Tutorial Player. Adobe also has a Tutorial Builder on the Adobe Labs site. This product has been available for nearly a year at this point. Essentially, it allows one to create a web page which documents the tasks you performed in Photoshop. […]

Time Lapse Photography

September 1, 2012 - Adobe , Technology - by Mark - No Comments

I do enjoy taking snapshots (not photographs). That being said, I have been interested in time lapse photography. I always wondered how it was done. After a little research (along with a couple of lynda.com tutorials), I developed an understanding of how this is accomplished. The key to creating time […]

Adobe Tutorial Player

August 31, 2012 - Adobe , Technology - by Mark - No Comments

As a teacher of web technologies, I often find that my role is to make individuals aware of possibilities. In this case, there has been a technology available for roughly a year that demonstrates the power of combining tablets and desktops. For example, one can view a tutorial on the […]

Adobe Brackets

July 17, 2012 - Adobe , Technology - by Mark - 2 Comments

I have been experimenting with the open source Adobe Brackets tool for some time. Although it is not yet “ready for prime time,” it is a tool which has some useful features. If you are looking for a lightweight HTML, CSS, JS editor (written in HTML, CSS, and JS), this […]

Adobe Shadow – First Look

March 7, 2012 - Adobe , Technology - by Mark - 2 Comments

Today, Adobe released a new technology on their labs site called Shadow. This tool should be of significant help for those developing web pages which will be viewed on mobile devices (a.k.a everyone). This technology allows one to synchronize a web page across multiple devices, examine the page on the […]

As I begin this post, I must stress that I am incredibly impressed with the initial versions of Adobe Touch apps on the Android Market. I have obtained Proto, Photoshop Touch, Ideas, Kuler, and Debut. I make the assumption that these apps will be updated at some point in the […]

Adobe Touch App – Ideas Overview

December 15, 2011 - Adobe , Technology - by Mark - No Comments

Another Adobe Touch App I have been experimenting with on my Samsung Galaxy Tab is Ideas. This is mostly an app to allow one to sketch/ draw using a tablet. One can either draw using a blank canvas or one can import a photo and add a new drawing layer […]
