    Circular text in 7.0

    you can't, that feature started in CS. and it doesn't work well in that. I have CS3 but haven't tried it because I rarely do it. When I used 7 I'd do the text on a path in Illustrator and import into PS. Sorry....

    Playing around with my dog (she doesn't bite)

    thought I'd give it a quick go round. This is a bit sloppy, but you'll get the idea. I spent no time color correcting.

    Arkpressen, my background includes a stint in 'conventional' prepress where I worked for one of the highwst quality pinters in L.A. I was doing that when DTP began to insert it's presence into printing. Most of my time was spent correcting native files from Quark. You tend to learn a lot about...

    picketty, before you start making statements, check and confirm that you have a clue as to what you say ;) Also, you said that you wanted to change the 'DESKTOP' color...then do what I told you.. If you meant you wanted to change the WINDOW background color, then do what Arkpressen told you...

    Print to PDF vs Distilling to PDF

    Well then, here goes... Regarding the posted question, which PDF is better for your printer ( assuming you're pertaining to your studio machine and not referring to your printer as the company that does your ink on paper ). It really doesn't matter. You won't have the embedding issues you'd run...

    Very rarely do distilled pdf's have issues. At least in my experience anyway. If your profile is written correctly and all of your requirements are properly coded, then everything works fine. I'll admit it took some doing and some help to write mine. You'd think that Adobe, the inventors of the...

    Ad for newpaper printing

    OK, I admit, I haven't used Quark since 4.1 although I have 7 on my Mac, I only have it because some of my old accounts wanted qxd files. I eventually converted them to In Design. Quark used to use Jaws as it's default pdf engine so there were issues. I personally don't like Quark. In Design and...

    No..No..No...DON'T use the PDF's from the apps. Save as .eps and distill to pdf using using 'high quality printing' or 'press quality' or the printers profile if they provided one. Quark pdf's are ok but PS and ID pdf's have some embedding issues.

    Ad for newpaper printing

    OK, 200 ppi would normally be fine for newsprint because the frequency they use will probably be 100 line flattening the image and saving as an .eps, to me, is counterproductive. If you flatten the image, that will rasterize the text, which to me is unexceptable. But in your case, required. So...

    Ad for newpaper printing

    A page layout program is vector. Not bitmap. It is resolution free, save for the bitmaps imported or placed into it. So the questions I'd have in this case would be, What was the resolution of the 'original' image? Did you change the resolution in PS properly? And why rasterize the type. Was it...

    layouts

    YaKnow Phil. It's all about developing a skill level. Many things in Photoshop are 'push a button' and learning which button to push...Then there's the more creative 'artsy' stuff that comes by way of trial and error. Then eventually you get the hang of it. I don't think anyone can impart these...

    Ad for newpaper printing

    Sorry, I don't work in Corel. I'm all Adobe. Actually you can produce Photoshop work and save as .eps. Just place your text in it's own layer and save as .eps. In the save dialog be sure to check 'on' to save vector data. Then distill to pdf. Your text will be saved as vector ( PS 7 and later )...

    first, why on earth did they want the text rasterized. That goes against every principle of quality printing.

    Is there an easy way to darken 200 files quick for game map

    I've never done anything for gaming but...here goes with the color edit problem. select what you want to change then make the color corex with 'channel mixer' When you've got what you want, re-do it and record an action for it, then you can zip through all of them

Then...

    setting up new computer

    place your curser in some empty spot on your desktop...right click select 'properties' or with Vista..'personalize' or go to the control panel and click on 'display' This is the same simple procedure you'd use to change any and all visual effects, surely you've done that before.. :}
