    Illustrator CS5 Ruler Orgin Finally!!

    Looking over the rest of the new features I am quite impressed over all with the improvements. The drawing modes, improved artboards and the variable strokes. Now to get the upgrade request approved. @al yes I will have to disagree with you. But maybe they have a preference for this option if...

    Mac Font Book as a production font management tool

    Better yet do no use any font manager at all. Just use the user folder/font folder. But an alias in the dock and just put copies of fonts in there when you need them. No conflicts, cache issue, etc. Works like a charm. p

    Illustrator CS5 Ruler Orgin Finally!!

    Hey Gang I haven't gotten my hands on the new CS5 but have been checking out the reviews. As I was reading the Illustrator one this little gem appeared on Macworld. For those who have long asked, “Why must the Y (vertical) axis begin at the bottom of the artboard,” you’ll be pleased to know...

    Just used the Native transparency feature for the first time yesterday with a Quark 7 file. Works great! No half vector half bitmap vector art when it tried to figure out the transparency. p

    Transitioning from pre-press

    Nope you are not having a "Monday". The industry is in a decline. It will not die or go away but it certainly is not growing. I would find an industry which is growing and adapt yourself. Since we all have great computer skill it would be natural to apply them to some other computer related...

    Steve Jobs has a hot Flash

    Steve is a master of marketing, and this is just another sales tack. It also justifies his controlling nature. Apple and Adobe have been in bed together since day 1 of the Macintosh. This is just another bump. Lets not hype it anymore then it is. p

    Adobe CS5

    I ordered over the phone, the customer service person with the volume license group quoted me a $25 charge for either media or to download. It didn't make sense for me to download when they could send it to me. p

    Adobe CS5

    Wasn't separation preview a feature from PageMaker that Adobe stuck into Indesgin after or around the same time they stopped updating PageMaker? It's kinda similar to what they are doing with Illustrator just take a few features from Freehand and make them new again in Illustrator. p

    use the built in un-zip provided in the Mac OS. Just right click/select open. But you still may have a problem. They may have used stuffit zip and there is a version out there that mess's up files. Good luck

    Adobe CS5

    Not sure what all the gripes are with Quark. But I have always enjoyed using the product and never had many file issues. We generally open a file with the version it was created in. Plus I am sure if like me you have been around for awhile Quark has kept us all very well employed with it's...

    From Prinergy to Heidelberg workflow?

    I'm not clear if you add a new CTP device or replacing your old one. If you are adding I would just stick with your current sofware workflow. If you are replacing then I would not be concerned with how reprints will work as the screen system in printready would differ from prinergy. Just take...

    Indesign CS3 no longer warns you of missing links

    Hey Color I double checked my settings and I have the same, I'm pretty sure that is default for the apps. CS4 has the option but CS3 does not. What happens when I open a file in either CS3-4 is the file opens without displaying the auto update link dialogue. I just see the file open and the...
