    Taking Illustrator class - How to reset to default settings?

    Do a search for your AIPREFS file. (in Windows you must allow hidden files to be seen). Once you find it, trash it. Next launch, Illy will start as new.

    Can't stop Feathering

    That is what the Border feature does, it's a feathered selection. Here's what I do to achieve what you want dmears1: 1) Double click your image if it's the background layer to make it a regular layer. 2) Use the crop tool to drag out some extra canvas all around the image. 3) Use the magic...

    Help me out with this drawing, need some sharper edges.

    No, what I mean is select your text with the selection tool (you might want to take a copy of that text first in case you need to edit it). Then go to Object>Expand. Do that twice and now instead of stroked text you will simply have filled shapes. So now you can manipulate those shapes using...

    Help me out with this drawing, need some sharper edges.

    You may need to expand those strokes to fills and then just pull the corners out yourself with the Direct Selection and Convert Anchor point tools.

    how do i apply an adjustment layer to only the next layer

    Straight from PS help menu: To create a clipping mask: Do the following: Hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS), position the pointer over the line dividing two layers in the Layers palette (the pointer changes to two overlapping circles ), and click.

    Change color and preserve anti-alias howto?

    Woah. It's only two shapes. I'd just redraw it in the colour you want, if I was you.

    illustrator 9.0 doesn't see Monotype Corsiva font on XP

    Funny, because I was just using that font about 10 minutes ago and made the mistake of looking for it under the M section rather than the C section of your font list. You're not doing the same thing are you?

    Changing DPI in PS

    It's not really the same thing but I'm sure what they mean is actually ppi. Sounds like you are making a jpg right? If so you don't even need to change the ppi in Image Size. Once you have it at 800 x 600 then do a Save for Web and it will make it 72ppi.

    Printing gutter not centered

    Cool. I actually did mean inkjet/deskjet. Don't know why I typed laser, but you obviously understood what I meant anyway.

    Printing gutter not centered

    If it's a laser jet printer then those ARE the printing boundries of your document. That show's the area that the printer can physically print on. If you have something outside that area on your page it will get cut-off when printing. In saying that you can move that margin to wherever you...

    filling in illustrator

    Here's one way: - Create your shape with the stroked pen lines. - Select all your lines. - Go to Object Expand - Go to Object Expand Appearance - Go to Object>Compound Path>Releae - You can now select that middle bit and fill it with your desired colour. By the way CS2 has a Live Paint Bucket...

    multiplication sign

    Sorry about the dyslexia in my last post and sorry about the bad advice I gave (when I just gave a lecture in the Photoshop forum for people doing the same thing :-))

    multiplication sign

    Yeah. I had a feeling a might be wrond about that and posed ti to some other more knowledgable folk than me. Here is the Readers Digest version of one reply I got: A multiplication sign is NOT an ex. Unlike using a miniscule "x" from a sans font, a properly designed multiplication sign will...

    And I understand everyone is just here trying to help. But giving people the complete wrong answers is not helping anyone.
