Yes Joe, I know you're right... and you confirm what I think, Adobe is tricking us: OK, transparencies work now with the new PrintEngine RIPs (assuming that all printers have the money to change their RIPs... :rolleyes:)... ... but transparencies appear in 2000 with Illustrator 9, and the first...

No : text is clipping pathes, and it is coloured by bitmap images... That's right, this particular structure of the "text" makes it untouchable in the PDF or EPS... ... so if you need to modify colours or overprint, or correct spelling mistakes, you have to do it with Photoshop in the PSD file...

Yes, but not rasterized the same way that Photoshop does: the main différence is that a RIP rasterized everything in 1-bit screened pictures, using different ways to rasterize the vectors, the contone pixels and the bitmap pixels... ... althought Photoshop rasterized text in contone mode when...

I don't have a CS4 to do the test... ... but effectively with CS3, and lower, InDesign is not able to use the vector text datas of a PSD and has to use only the pixels. (really, what a shame... Adobe softwares are even not able to use Adobe's datas :mad:) I never examined how a PostScript file...

Yes, you're right: in a PhotoshopPDF, the text is not real vector text, but is in a (strange) vector mode... ... but in a PSD file, text is normal vector text, handled normally by a normal Adobe text-engine, and the strange structure using clipping pathes over pixels colored images is only for...

Gordo, my opinion in that particular domain is that a big part of the technology exists only to compensate the incompetence of the users, at any step of the process... ... but it's like the big question of the hen and the egg... which came first? the egg or the hen? and in a same manner I still...

[offtopic] The first year of our calendar was not the year "0" but the year "1", so the first decade went from year 1 to year 10, the first century from year 1 to year 100 and the first millennium from year 1 to year 1000... ... and the 21st century goes from 2001 to 2100, the 3rd millennium...

Euhhh... sorry gordo, but 2010 is the last year of the first decade of the 21st century... ... and we will enter the 2nd decade the 1st of January 2011!!! Happy new year to everybody.

Right... It's the job of african police to put african scammers in jail, and it's the job of french (and american) police/authorities to create a link with african authorities to allows the victims to prosecute the scammers... ... and I agree with you again, it's necessary to educate all people...

No, because I don't believe that revenge is a noble feeling, nor a solution to problems, in no case. Sorry, you know that english is not my native language, and perhaps that what I write is not understood the same way I write it? I don't make them appear noble, I simply explain to you that...

First, Africa has been and is still wronged: it's not a feeling, it's an economic reality. Second, I didn't said neither "it's OK" nor it is "justifiable", I just explain to you WHY it happens. Third, in France, we have a proverb that says "who sows the wind, will harvest the storm": it means...

Hey, guys, let's be lucid and realistic: there is no job in Africa!!! Today, and since more than hundred years, we steal all the ressources of Africa: oil, of course, but also bauxite, nickel, diamonds, and many other mining ressources... and we buy local production of exotic fruits and other...

You said you have a Viper RIP... and Vipers run on Mac... ... and AFAIK all models of Mac able to accept full length PCI cards have at least 3 full length PCI slots... and I don't know any Mac that has only one full length slot??? what kind of Mac do you have??? And, again (sorry, I insist)...

Surprising, you're right if the card is a brand new one... ... but if it is a second-hand, it's possible that the card has an issue, and it is also possible that it is an old card for Viper 1.9, which (AFAIK) is not compatible with a Viper 3 RIP (or an Apogee). To tamclf: which Viper do you...

Why do you want (or need) to use 4 colors to print with your (very) expensive offset presses??? ...thought the first 50 dollars ink-jet printer can perfectly print 3 colors RGB documents from Word or Publisher!!! :D:D:D

Thanks Matt. Yes... and especially when these bugs are not localized only to my computer but are repeatable on other computers with other OS and other sofware versions, and known by the manufacturer... meaning that I'm not the only one to be annoyed by these bugs and many other users have the...

It's also upsetting when I spent time to report to the Adobe's hot-line a bug in InDesign CS1 few days after the soft is released, and the man of the hot-line promised that it will be corrected in the next update, but 3 updates later this bug is not corrected... ... and 3 years later I bought a...

You remember correctly. Correct with negative plates: if the emulsion is up, then it is not in contact with the plate and the black areas enlarge on the plate with hazy edges... thicker is the film between the emulsion and the plate, bigger is the enlargement. (In the old days of manual...

Yes!!! more than you think: do you know "USB wine" system? It's like iTune and iTune music store, but for wines: an USB tap and a dedicated download site... ... you simply plug the tap on an USB port of your computer (not behind the computer, it's easier!!!), then you are automatically...

Up to you!!! Each time I made a box, I made it with InDesign... (but it's a kind of joke, as I made very few boxes... it's not my speciality)... ... anyway, even if it's not my job, I get some news about how packaging work in France, and last news said that InDesign begins slowly to replace...
