    photoshop cs colors

    As far as I remember it's colour management working as it should... Rather than confine itself to the reality of your monitors colour space - you're getting a wide gamut representation. Twisted but there you go. A way round might be to use the on-screen proofing feature as you work (View->Proof...

    scp don't escape my spaces

    Hiya Eric Thanks for the reply, forgot to mention that I'd tried quote marks - but I was just looking into this again and I'll be forked - it seems I've got to add quote marks and escape the spaces with a backslash. I'm afraid I've also been sloppy - this is the syntax that RsyncX has been...

    scp don't escape my spaces

    [Morning] all, Anyone got any idea how to escape a space in a path when using scp over t'interweb? I'm trying to scp between Panther and Jaguar Server but backslash is ignored as an escape character - can't see anything in the scp man pages. Should I be using a different escape character...

    font problem when switching from Classic to OSX

    I had this problem about a year ago... If I remember rightly - OS X comes with a version of HelveticaNeue with just a few styles - one of the Mac OS X exclusive ".dfont" ones. This font is probably conflicting with the one that you want to be using. I've been using Suitcase and now with version...

    command line copy of fonts

    If the fonts have old school TrueType Suitcases then the problem occurs because all data is actually stored in the resource fork, rather than the data fork. I'm not sure I know what you you mean by NFS (transfer protocol or file system?) - but if you move HFS(+) data (Mac stuff that may have...

    Number of files in a folder - How to find out?

    Zammy's first suggestion is good - but to make sure you get the recursive total (files+folders only) - open the folder in a Finder window set to list view and use the keyboard shortcuts for select all and expand file list until the number of files listed doesn't go up any more. [apple][a] then...

    how do you create a check box using appleworks?

    Hi ed - you'll need to use a symbol font - try o,p,q and r, in Zapf Dingbats or Wingdings - or get the Character Palette open and look under Miscellaneous.

    saving files across the network and permissions dilemma

    Hey scruffy - you're a bit deep in UNIX for me, but does this mean does that the following command in a Terminal session might sort this out? chmod -R 6770 Folder As far as I can make out from the manpages this should (recursively) apply read-right-execute permissions for the user and...

    saving files across the network and permissions dilemma

    Hi again Roadie, Sorry you're still having trouble with this. I'm still under the impression that this is how it is supposed to work. (At least when we set up OS X 10.2.x [Server].) The way we got things to work was to have all users access the Server with the same account. A single...

    Illustrator CS, backwards compatibility???

    What's the verdict on file integrity when saving back to an earlier from Illustrator CS? I'm referring to problems that used to appear when saving an illustrator doc back to version 8 from version 9 or 10 (for example) particularly if transparency had been used. [such as half a word being...

    saving files across the network and permissions dilemma

    [bit of a tangent] Seems like a long time since I had troubles with this - but when I set up an OS X Jaguar Server the only way to get non-admin users to share files on the server was to make everyone use the same account on the server. I am interested to know if things have changed - the...

    .dfont distribution question

    [I'm a rambling man] I remember having problems with the new OS X system fonts which have been largely solved by Suitcase X1. Don't assume there is a problem with your old font - this may well be a conflict with the system font, which is being called in preference to your previously...

    100% k in photoshop?

    Hi wicky - do me a favour and check your info palette options - are they set to actual colour - or CMYK. If set to CMYK (or any other colour space) the readout you are getting is an on-the-fly colour conversion based on your Colour Settings. This does not mean that your image is necessarily...

    100% k in photoshop?

    8 separations - that's a fancy print job you've got there! Sounds like you may have a problem with your output settings rather than the images. You should go through your output options with your printer to find out what's wrong. No reason to have any problems with grayscale TIFFs - although...

    Help needed with Quark shortcuts

    QuarkXPress (QXP) vs InDesign (ID)... I'm still stuck with QXP for now because, although its very basic, ridiculously overpriced and has some really frustrating bugs, I find it (v4.1) very productive. [Now thanks to Suitcase X1 and ClassicDraw XT (VERSION 2.2) I can use QXP 4 effectively...
