Annimation/design

Who out there enjoys creating 3d designs, animations or even photoshopping?

I've only recently got involved with using blender an open source 3d design software. Actually really enjoying it:)

Just wondering if there's any people on here who enjoy creating their own work.

Did you know "photoshopping" is a word banned by Adobe?

I've recently been accosted into producing craft stuff for cards for a family member using DrawPlus. More 2D stuff like images and word art rather than anything dramatic like photos (read: it makes money for someone!) which is used as part of the handmade card.

Got to love doing stuff for family:) always gets abused haha.

I hadn't heard adobe banning the word, you'd of thought they'd promote it more considering almost any editing to photos is known as photoshopping these days. Considerable promotion for their software package.

So when speaking you have to say "I used Adobe trademark, Photoshop trademark to enhance a picture"!

Those T&C's only apply to third-party developers and commercial bodies that make use of the trademark "Photoshop" in their applications, literature etc. Google have a similar policy to stop the commercial use of terms like "googling".

It's because of a specific legal issue called "Trademark Erosion" where a company fails to actively protect a trademark or brand-name from becoming used in a "generic" form. If they don't, they can end-up losing all of their rights over their own product's name and no-one can register or own that brandname again.

Basically, if Adobe didn't state and enforce those rules, within a couple of years the shelves would be full of products with names like "'Tesco photoshop" and Adobe could neither prevent it nor make any money from it - "photoshop" would just become an unprotected - and unprotectable - word like "editor" or "program".

Pengipete you never fail to impress me:)

I had never heard of this "trademark Erosion" before, however in retrospect it makes perfect sense.

I actually feel a bit sad I accused them of being petty haha.

A mouse isn't accurate either as it doesn't keep a straight line
