f.lux is great software to reduce night time screen use affecting your sleep. Unfortunately it’s not possible to install on iOS unless you jail break your device.

iOS now comes with a wonderful built-in alternative hidden in the Accessibility settings to let you dim the screen past the normal range of the brightness control.

iOS 9: Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom

1. Set zoom filter to low light
2. Set max zoom level down to 1.2
3. Switch zoom on (screen should dim and zoom in)
4. Double tap with 3 fingers and drag to set zoom to 1:1 (this is a bit tricky)
5. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Accessibility shortcut — set to Zoom

Now you can triple click the home button to switch screen dimming on and off.

iOS 8: is slightly more hidden — follow this video for instructions:

Android has some good clones of f.lux — I use Lux Auto Brightness.

So I was going to add Ratchet.. and I saw it in Tom’s list so it goes first and then descends from there 🙂

I would have added these if they were on Soundcloud to finish.


This is the best video from last year:

I upgraded to a new Macbook, ran Migration Assistant, then started Photoshop to be greeted with this error. Tried de-activating on my old laptop etc.

Adobe info. The Adobe Licensing Repair Tool doesn’t work on OS X 10.7 Lion or OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.

Recommendation from forum post:

1. Download and mount the utility.
2. Open Terminal, cd to the volume \mac_install_11.6.1 and run sudo ./install_fnp.sh

Download links to Adobe trials: CS3, CS4, CS5, CS6 if clean reinstalling.

Update 1: Yes I upgraded to CS6 now Retina support is available and use CC at work.. Thanks Adobe.

Update 2: macOS Sierra CS6 refer to Adobe instructions.
