# Adobe Others

Some other software that is less used, or is very simple.

# Adobe Audition

Someone should do a write up here. It's a perfectly fine audio editor with some pretty good frequency based noise removal (noise print).

### Plugins

**RX 7 PRO (now RX8)** - Very good at removing elements of a track. Can be used to make acapellas or instrumentals. Some tracks perform better than others. Can also be used to reduce background noise.

**InstantDialogueCleaner** \_ Does exactly what it says to varying degrees of success.

# Adobe Lightroom

I use Lightroom (not classic tho) to store all of my photos and I pay for the 2TB plan as part of my Creative Cloud license (this costs more than the basic). It’s pretty good. I don’t recommend for slightly more complex photo processing (use **Lightroom Classic** if you want, but really any complexity you can’t achieve in LR, just use **Photoshop**). You can still use **Bridge** for bulk processing - though it doesn’t always work the way you think (as is traditional with Bridge).

Like Classic, this better looking Lightroom: You can still copy and paste settings and select which settings you want to copy and paste. Like copy and paste attributes or copy and paste values, etc. Pro-tip: applying those settings to >1 photo simultaneously requires grid view. Bad design.

If you have a ton of photos in your sync’d Lightroom library and desire a local copy, there’s a secret Adobe app called [Lightroom Downloader](https://lightroom.adobe.com/lightroom-downloader). This will download your entire library to a target folder local to your computer (or an external). Note that:

- Every time you do this, you do the entire library. It doesn’t look for changes or new photos and just backup those for subsequent backups.
- You need to leave it running, without a restart, until it’s done. Quitting and continuing is unlikely to be successful.

# Adobe Illustrator

I know Illustrator pretty well. Some dumb gotchas over the years. Here are some of them.

#### SVGs from AI Vectors Are Ragged  


So you’ve got a final logo in Illustrator and every time you export it to SVG, the path is distorted with little spikes? EASY fix. Note the decimal places changed to “3”. Congratulations! Fixed. [Source](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihc315buMYg).
