    Rectangle Tool - hollow fill but border?

    Regarding the rectangle bit: add a vector shape (rectangle), then right-click the vector layer you just created and choose blending options (will bring up the 'layer style' dialog). Under blending options: custom -> advanced options there is a setting for "fill opacity" which you can set to...

    screenprinting color seperations

    Need more information. Are you trying to import color seps? Export color seps? You can easily export color separations from the Freehand print dialog->advanced button (print settings). If you're trying to import from corel, maybe your spot colors are getting translated into CMYK? Or working in...

    XP can't move icons, taskbar locked, read-only...?

    The story goes, one day, all these weird things started happening with my buddy's XP Home system (a decent Dell, 512MB-120GB-2.2GHz) I couldn't tell what it was, just listening over the phone, so I went over there. The problems are crazy! - Desktop icons can't be dragged. (desktop not locked or...

    Outlook Rules don't apply to report messages

    Reports don't have the same methods as regular messages. This VBA script uses the NewMailEx event when a message is received to create a normal message with the report's important properties. (may need to use more InStr to handle all report subject lines...) Private Sub...

    Outlook Rules don't apply to report messages

    Hi, thanks for viewing. I am trying to get Outlook 2003 to forward bounced messages to another machine. To do this I've made a rule that catches most subject lines ("undeliverable", "returned mail" etc). It works, somewhat. Unfortunately, it only works on messages of type "message" not of type...

    Designing a brochure

    If you're talking about printer spreads i.e. print three a3 pages 2-sided and staple in the middle, arrange the pages this way: Back cover - front cover pg 2 - pg 11 pg 10 - pg 3 pg 4 - pg 9 pg 8 - pg 5 pg 6 - pg 7 A prepress service will ALWAYS take care of this for you when you go to press.

    In the "layer style" (blending options) dialog box, click on the name of the effect in the list to the left to bring up effect settings. Use the layers palette.

    Slice Help Please - New at this

    Short answer: no. If you add a bunch of text, when it wraps it is going to stretch out the cell in regular HTML. You could create static dimensioned cells with CSS but large amounts of text will wrap past the bottom of the cell. Since this site looks like it will be database driven (i hope)...

    resolution in Photoshop less than QT viewer

    From which program did you save still miniDV frames as Photoshop files? and I assume you are talking native Photoshop .PSD files and not JPEG, TIFF, etc. If you are cutting and pasting into Photoshop from QTV you may be losing quality. Maybe try using the QT authoring software to "save...

    colouring comics

    For the best results for press, you should use two images on top of each other... the black lines should be high-resolution line art (1200 dpi is a good setting) overprinted on a 200-300 dpi colored image. This way the lines will be crisper, and the file sizes will be manageable. 1. Scan the...

    graphics show some in color some in black and white when PDF'd

    Maybe change the background color of the box to white. Or try disabling OPI (under the OPI tab in print dialog) when you print.
