    Down save CS3 to CS2, grey boxes for images and missing links

    I think you can just package the InDesign file like normal. Then just save the the same document as a .inx or .idml file. Copy your packaged files (usually in a folder) onto your home computer. When you open your .inx file you should be able to re-link all the packaged images to the .inx file...

    Using TIFF Images in AI?

    I often have the same problem, since my clients send me high resolution tif files. But you can just place the TIFF images in InDesign. If they are to big then placing them in Illustrator and then place the AI file in ID will work...I sometimes have to do that since that's what my clients send...

    What about the Photoshop plug-in Genuine Fractals? Would that help boost the resolution needed?

    Wrist ache and wacom tablet

    I feel your pain! When I started using a wacom tablet and pen my wrist was cramped for weeks. But I got used to it and now it is no problem. I think the key was to relax while using it. I had a tendency to put it down and go back to using the mouse. But I had to make myself stick to it and after...

    Using wacom tablet illustrator

    I used the Intuos with the classic pen for my work computer. Once I got used to the feel of it, I absolutely loved it. I hated to go home to a mouse! I had no problems with the tablet whatsoever. I found it much easier to draw and paint in both Illy and PS. My new computer will definately have...

    Thanks kjv1611....that was an awesome comparison. I know my friend would probably enjoy building that system...but I don't think he has the time.

    Best PC for Graphic Designer

    Thanks everyone....that gives me a much better idea of what to look for. I was leaning towards an HP since I had a customized one at my job several years ago and it was pretty solid. Other than the $$$, why would a Core i7 or i5 be better choice than a Quad core?

    Best PC for Graphic Designer

    I would prefer to just buy a machine and then have a friend of mine who is techy customize it for me if needed. I'm hoping to not spend more than $2000.

    Best PC for Graphic Designer

    If money was no object, I would just buy a MacPro desktop for my graphic design work. But it looks like my budget will only get me a PC. So I'd appreciate some solid and simple advice for a brand of PC that will work for me. I'll be using the Adobe Creative Suite CS4 (Photoshop, Illustrator...

    Raster to vector help wanted please

    Depending on your LiveTrace settings, it will also put a vector background around your traced object. So you have to delete that background before you can extrude your graphic. Use the Direct Selection tool to select the background and delete it.

    Use eyedropper in gradient box

    In your gradient slider click on the fill bucket, then ALT(PC) key or Option (mac) then select the color to fill from your swatches palette. Do that to fill the buckets to complete your gradient. If you're going to use the same gradient for several paths, then I would save that gradient in your...

    duplicating objects on a circular path

    This is how I do it: position your small circle at the top of your circular path. Then while the small circle is selected, select the Rotate tool, press and hold the Option Key (for PC:ALT key) and then click in the center of the circular path. The Rotate dialog box comes up and then enter...

    last time I used photoshop was version4 :-( HELP

    Wow...I barely remember PS v4, but I think v4 didn't have layers. So probably the biggest issue would be all the things you can do with layers, blending modes, adjustments, masks etc. Now with CS4 release it's just amazing what you can do now. You'll have fun experimenting with all the new tools.

    Am I obligated to give the client the "original layered work"?

    I agree with Andrew...if you have no pre-agreement about said artwork, then you really should give it to them. UNLESS you have already purged it from your computer and neglected to make a back-up! My clients are always quick to ask for the files quickly after the job has been paid for or...
