    Macworld '05 Rumor Roundup

    Haven't read or heard this anywhere, but I know many mac users are dying to see a G5 laptop. Personally I just want to see some high-end 3D cards that speed up Maya like they have for PC. Plus it would be nice to see the Renderman plugin for Maya be released although I've been told that may not...

    Need High res illustrator drop shadow

    I'm using an illustrator drop show on some text for print design. I can't figure out how to rasterize the drop shadow only and make it a high dpi like 600 or 1200. I tried using expand appearance and flatten transparency, but the image AI makes from the dro pshadow seems low res a pixelated...

    HDRI, cinepaint, and X11

    I'm using Maya more and more especially hte use of IBL with HDRI images in my Mental Ray renders. However the only app which used to work was cinepaint. Sinc eupgrading several versions of OS X to the latest version, cinepaint always crashes whenever I try and modify an HDRI image. Does anyone...

    iSight and a CRT

    I'm thinking of getting iSight because I deal with people overseas. Thing is I use a CRT monitor with my G5. Does iSight come with an attachment for a CRT? or maybe a stand to just sit on the desk? Thanks

    PDF problem on dual G5

    Yes. I can setup the browser so it opens the PDF in Acrobat Pro, but it would be nice to view PDF's in the browser since Apple claims OS X major feature is overwhelming support for PDF and is it's main file format. I can;t understand why Safari doesn't support it altogether. Seems stupid

    High Dynamic Range Images in OS X

    After diving into High-End 3D with Maya this year I discovered HDRI files and image based lighting. It is a great tool for achieving photorealistic renderings. Problem is there is no support for HDRI in photoshop and the few apps for OS X either don't work, run under X11 unstably, or are just...

    PDF problem on dual G5

    I don't see a point buying a $70 plugin for somthing OS X is built on and is supposed to handle automatically. PDF's always worked fine on my mac until this G5. I find it strange I couldn't find any info about this on apple's site as if it never happens.

    Colours for print????

    These guys pretty much broke it down but I would like to emphasize how important a match print can be, if the budget allows for it. Few months ago I did some Tommy Hilfiger ads for a big magazine and even though I had high quality laser printers at my disposal, only the match prints showed where...

    Font issues in Photoshop CS

    Fontbook is garbage. I thought Apple finally came up with an answer to replace suitcase but it truly sucks. Always problems. I find suitcase is faster and more stable and you can use thousands of fonts, preview your text easily, find fonts, fix fonts, just better overall. I have still seen...

    PHOTOSHOP 7 "slogging" on G4 - HELP!

    You can try purging the clipboards or purge all, the scratchdisk and RAM definitely will do that. If you have small HD space to begin with your problems will only increase. My advice, junk the G4 and buy a new computer, although frequently that is my only advice it does prove affective if you...

    Anybody know what font Apple uses in their ads?

    They actually use a customized font called Apple Garamond. You can find it on underground servers and such although you can achieve a similar look by modifying Adobe Garamond. Apple's font looks slightly narrower width wise but very similar. Lowering the horizontal scale and tweaking the serifs...

    PDF problem on dual G5

    I bought a dual 2Ghz G5 in january and since I first got it I've had problems reading PDF files in browsers. The browsers use quicktime to display the PDF and so only the first page appears with no controls available. I even have Acrobat Professional which alerts me whenever I launch it that the...
