    Photoshop 7 issue...

    Just thought I'd add another perspective here. I'm not familiar with the way Flight Simulator works, but you mentioned that black areas are rendered invisible. If FS only removes pixels that are exactly 0,0,0, then it's quite likely that you'll continue having problems, regardless of what tool...

    Changing multiple text layers

    ...also, if the text layers are all beside each other, you could try clicking on the top one, and shift-clicking the bottom one to select both, plus all layers in between.

    Changing multiple text layers

    Can't remember PS7, but certainly in newer versions, the "running ants" only appear if you CTRL-click the thumbnail images in the layers palette. Did you try CTRL-clicking just the name of each layer instead?

    Changing multiple text layers

    Select all the text layers you need to change by using the Layers palette. Just Ctrl-click (Cmd-click on the Mac) on the name of each layer you need, not the thumbnail. With each layer selected, click the Type tool, and change the font in either the Options bar along the top, or the Character...

    Trying to vectorise these images....

    Do you have larger versions of those images? That would certainly help. To be honest, I'd be more inclined towards tracing images like that manually with the pen tool. It's an essential Illustrator skill to learn anyway, and once you get the hang of it, you should be able to redraw those images...

    Image Not Displayed in AI When File Opened

    Try drawing a black rectangle covering the image, and Object > Arrange > Send to Back, so that the image is now in front of a black background. Then go back to View > Preview and see if the image is visible now. How you proceed depends on what you want to do with the image, and also what type...

    Image Not Displayed in AI When File Opened

    Oh, if you're in outline view, another possibility is that the rectangle you're looking at is a placed image. Does it have an 'X' going through it?

    Image Not Displayed in AI When File Opened

    The rectangle you're looking at is the artboard, and ideally, the graphic should be on that. There are a few possibilities why you're not seeing anything: 1: Sometimes you'll get artwork that's positioned off the artboard. Try zooming out as far as you can to see if you can see anything. If you...

    IE7 prompts for open/save of .asp files

    To clarify: "Confined to one system" as in: 1: All the asp pages are on the same PC or 2: One browser on your PC is downloading asp pages as files, regardless of where they are located (including the W3schools link in the last post) If it's (1), start with the basics. Are the asp pages on...

    IE7 prompts for open/save of .asp files

    Could be a problem with the server too. Does it happen with all ASP pages (e.g. try http://www.w3schools.com/xml/default.asp), or just on one particular site? If you go ahead and download the asp file, then open it in NotePad, can you see any asp scripting? (it's usually delimited by <% %>) If...

    The letter C in Illustrator

    A few ways really. If you're just doing it by eye, this might work: 1: Draw the circle. 2: Create a vertical guideline intersecting the circle where you want it to end (it will intersect the circle at two points an equal distance from top and bottom). 3: Use the scissors tool to cut the circle...

    Uneven spacing between Japanese Dots on table strokes!!!

    My own laser printer drivers are up to date, and so is CS3, but admittedly, I haven't used Japanese dots on a table before, so it's not something I would have noticed previously. Exporting to PDF works just fine though, so it's undoubtedly a problem at the print side rather than InDesign as you...

    Uneven spacing between Japanese Dots on table strokes!!!

    I see what you mean, and was able to replicate it here. I did a few experiments with creating a custom stroke style, and trying out other dotted styles, but unfortunately to no avail. It looks like dotted styles on table cells are misaligned slightly. The only workaround I could find was to...

    Cropping Extra Text

    There are a few ways to do this, maybe try clipping paths first. In this case: * Select the rounded square * Double-click the 'Scale' tool, setting the scale to 100%, and press the 'Copy' button instead of OK. This will create a new rounded square exactly the same size and position as the...

    positioning of divs

    Do you mean that the green box should start a fixed distance from the top of containing div, and the other three divs should appear underneath it, with no overlap? If that's the case, it looks like the green div may have its position set to absolute, in which case it is taken out of the...

    IE8 won't read a PDF file

    What happens when you go to a PDF on another site? For example, the following link is a PDF on Adobe's site: do you get the same error when you click on that? http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player_10_security.pdf If so, there could be something wrong with your Acrobat...

    InDesign CS4 seeking contact sheet options...

    In CS2 & CS3, you could do this through Bridge (Tools > InDesign > Create InDesign Contact Sheet). The resulting file created a new InDesign document with a paragraph style sheet that could be edited to update all the labels to whatever style you wanted. Can't believe they removed this really...

    Clipping a vector based image in illustrator

    I'm not sure from your post if the problem is scaling your artwork (in which case, just use the scaling tool), or clipping it. Generally, clipping just 'hides' a portion of your artwork. The usual way to do this (maybe you've done this already) is to draw a shape over the artwork you want to...

    Finalizing Adjustments

    Hi there, The adjustments should be permanent, so you may be just missing something along the way. Here's a step-by-step as I understand your situation: 1. Original image has just one layer (Background). 2. Duplicate this layer to create a new layer on top (Background Copy) 3. Add a layer mask...
