    Matte display laptop - Recomendations?

    Hi My wife has a Dell Studio laptop that has a matte finish 17.5" display. I'm spoiled by the 24" display on my PC. It seems to work well and be pretty trouble free once we got one that worked. I had to take the first one back because it wouldn't boot. they sell them at Best Buy and it's a...

    Converting Photoshop Files to InDesign

    Hi I don't think there is a way to do that. I don't know of any file that Photoshop can make that will be editable in Indesign. I feel your pain, 150 pages is a lot of work. If I had to do that I would probably place the Photoshop Pages and then construct the Indesign ones on a layer above...

    Proportional ellipse??

    Hi I did this one by just constructing the grid with drag in guides and then drew 3 ellipsis starting with the largest. http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/3538/concentricelipsis.png It only took a couple of minutes forget the outline thing. This is very easy, just make sure that you get the...

    Proportional ellipse??

    Draw the grids by starting in the corner and drag across to the opposite one." That's supposed to say "Draw the Ellipses by starting in one corner and dragging to the other.

    Proportional ellipse??

    If you are not seeing the stroke it's because you haven't assigned a color to it. Look at the picture of the box and the outline at the bottom of the controls palette.

    Proportional ellipse??

    Hi http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/9547/oval4.png You have to make sure that the width of the space between all the ovals are exactly the same both in hight and width. If you look closely you will see that mine are not exactly I was in a hurry. But if you are careful you can get it right...

    Proportional ellipse??

    Ps The reason that transform doesn't work is because the ellipse that you are resizing inside the original ellipse is proportional i.e. the long dimension changes more then the short dimension, so they don't end up concentric. You can only do it that way with a circle which has equal...

    Proportional ellipse??

    Hi http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/8554/oval.png Draw you oval, add a stroke the width you want the second oval to be on the outside. Drag guides to indicate where you want the center oval to fit. I use a little black box (visible in the image) as a gauge to make sure the width is the...

    Start-up sound

    Hi I have been trying to do this too! I haven't found a solution, I was starting to think that it may be possible with some sort of .bat file that tells it to play x.wav at a certain point in the boot cycle but I haven't done the research yet. I have my own sound scheme that I have used for...

    re-number layers from downloaded video CS4

    Hi I have a question how do you import a video into Photoshop as layers? I didn't know you could do that! Are you creating the new clips in Photoshop frame by frame? I have done animations in Photoshop frame by frame that I exported to ImageReady to make into a video. So maybe you could...

    New to CS4, why the pink box around my type?

    Hi There must be some glitch with some of my fonts. They show up and are installed, they print out but they still show the pink box in Indesign. I'll avoid then anyway just to be on the safe side. Mike

    New to CS4, why the pink box around my type?

    Hi I just switched to Indesign CS4 and I'm having a pink box show up around some of my type. Write now I'm trying to type in a head line for the dust jacket for a new book I'm putting together and no matter what I do it persists in showing the pink bg box around the type. I can't find...

    Clicking on Folder-arrow in Win. Explorer moves folder to bottom??

    Hi This drives my crazy too! What I did was to install Classic Shell. http://sourceforge.net/projects/classicshell/ It solved a couple of problems I had with Windows 7. I didn't like the start menu either, all that scrolling up and down. Classic Shell makes both the start menu and the...

    Hi Create the shape in Photoshop. Select the object, in the paths palette click create working path. Next still in the paths pallet select save path. Now you can make it a clipping path, I'm not sure this step is necessary but it won't hurt. Save by exporting Paths to Illustrator. You may...

    Confusion with which black mix to use for what

    Hi Pantone Process Black should look black when you make the PDF file from either program. In Photoshop click on the color selection icon to open the color Picker for the foreground color. Click in the bottom left corner of the panel. Click on the Color Libraries button. You should see...

    Adobe Cloning / Pattern Stamp Problem

    Hi What you are probably doing is hitting the "Caps Lock Key". Clicking on the Caps lock Key alternates between the different cursors. I do this by accident all the time and then I can't find my cursor with my 71 year old eyes. Mike

    Fill/stroke colour for drawings made with pencil tool CS4

    Hi I'm not quite sure what you are doing (I couldn't find an image from you link) but you could just draw a shape with the Pen Tool, for the color and place it behind your drawing. Use your drawing as a guide. work big and follow around the center of the line, then use "Arrange" to move it to...

    How to resize grouped objects

    Hi How are you selecting everything. And how are you trying to change the size. If you go to the select drop down and click "All" You should be able to drag a corner holding the shift key and have it all scale even if the objects are not grouped. The applies to objects and type. Same with...

    Window Classic Start Menu and Explorer in W7!

    Hi No one works on my computer but myself anyway and I don't have a problem when I go to fix someone else's. Mostly I'm finding that the way folders act in Windows Explorer is a lot easier to use then the new system. It doesn't look that much different but it just works better for me. I...
