Sombody has to stand up and say how much Quark has changed in the last year and a half. They finally realized how their arrogance and unfriendlines was driving people into Adobe's lap. They now have entirely new leadership, are doing much more for customer service and are starting many new...

Sonic Max You need to re-convert all of your images. But before you do, go to the Color Settings (command/control-shift-K). With the pull-down menu, change to U.S. Prepress Defaults. Photoshop has many different ways of converting RGB to CMYK, most of which don't look very good in print. U.S...
