Can anyone help with getting the EULA "Accept" button to work? I can't use Acrobat until I Accept, but the same Accept window keeps popping up. Thank you.

I saw the extraction button on each of the pages and thought that was something else. I just extracted each of the PDF's from the individual pages and put them into a separate folder. Thanks for explaining that.

It's actually working in Acrobat Pro 9 since I believe I installed just the latest Flash for it would work. Before all I got was a black page. I don't think it installed the latest Adobe PDF Reader since Acrobat 9 loads when I double click on each file. I plan to upgrade AA9 soon anyway since it's a little out of date and has newer features. I was confused with what I was installing because it showed both Flash and the Reader on the link.

@William Boswell: Download it again using a different browser. Re-install Reader 11.

When you open the file, the first thing you see is a list of chapters (a total of 21 chapters in this file). You have to extract each chapter to view its contents. You can extract it by clicking the extract button on the thumbnail of each chapter.

Mine is only 10 pages long. The download link shows more than 100 pages. Where are the rest? I'm using Adobe Reader 11.X because my Acrobat Pro 9 version won't open it.

Hi Erin - Yes, that's fine. Feel free to print or photocopy any or all of the guides in this e-book.

Another question about the Creative Commons License: Is it okay for me to photocopy parts of this for my students to use in class, if I attribute it to Adobe?

Thank you,

Hi Fern - Yes, you can share with your students on your Blackboard site. Please attribute the resource to Adobe when you do. Thanks!

Just to make sure about the Creative Commons ...

Is it OK for me to post this document, Learn Photoshop Cs6, on our restricted course "Blackboard" site. Only students registered in the class have access.

Thanks

Hi Edper,

We don't supply the images within the screenshots in these documents for copyright reasons. You'll have to capture or find suitable images on your own to work through the tutorials.

Thanks ahead and GOD bless.

@ Craig

Thank you for your comment. Indeed the Creative Commons license is the correct one for our curriculum. We used an Adobe template and that's why the All Rights Reserved copyright shows up on the bottom. We will remedy this system but rest assured the Creative Commons licenese is indeed the correct one.

Best,

Hi

In the information above it says that this title has a Creative Commons "Attribution Non-Commercial Share Alike" license, however at the bottom of each page of the document there is an All Rights Reserved copyright for Adobe Systems Incoporated. Which license is correct?

Thanks,

@ Mike: I just tested the file and it works fine. However, this file is a PDF Portfolio, nd not viewable in an Internet browser. Please save the file to your desktop by right or ctrl-click and then open with Acrobat 9 or Adobe Reader 9, or later.

@Richard: File #5 (How to use selection tools) is in the PDF portfolio. However if you are looking for Project five of the curriculum these tutorials are from it is here.

@Peter. I did just test the file and they are all there. As this is a PDF portfolio, once the intro page loads, the first guide in the list is in front, use the arrows above "1/21 Overview of Adobe.." to naviaget to the different guides - to open a guide double click it. Alternatively, in the top navigation, click "Files" for a list of the guides in the portfolio and then click to open a specific guide.

I can only down load the intro page - where is the remainder?

Clicking on uploading the Photoshop CS6 ebook link just sends me to the Adobe reader link, which I already have.

Where is the Photoshop ebook?
