A Queston for Omegaslast - Page 2

Ah, thanks for the info, very concice.

One more quick queston. Wouldn't it have been easier to create the letters in my name using a vector based program as opposed to a pixel based program? Being that they have alot of curved lines. What is the best vector based prgram out there?

Well doing the letter in a vector-based programme is always a good idea. You could then use them to create bigger pictures without any loss of quallity. Most of the nice effects are only available in pixel proggrammes, though...

If you need the letters just for a sig, Photoshop will get the job done, if you are going for printing quallity you should always leave the letters in vector format... Cause when the document is rasterized for printing the rasterization of vector objects is done with a step of 0.1 or even 0.01 pixels

Best vector software in my oppinion - Adobe Illustrator (since they added transparency in version 9... or was it 10

)

Corel Draw is also worth a look but it's somewhat heavier cause it tries to be both Illustrator and Photoshop at the same time

Thanks, I'll be picking up Illustator 10 sense I've already got Photoshop, might aswell stay in the Adobe family.

And making the postscripts took forever... and during the process there was no refreshing of the screen and whenever you pressed ctrl+alt+del you could see:

Micromedia FreeHand (Not Responding) :Oo:

although the software was running and making a postscript file :rant:

Heh

, my dad gave me advise on programmes, he used to be a DTP.. and he used a *Gasp* Mac

... program worked fine on that

Yeah, I thought that looked like it was ported from Mac too

Anyway I had a Mac and a PC on my first job and my workspace was a desk that was a 90deg circle segment around my chair - kinda like I was Captain Pickard in the Enterprise

That Mac did a pretty fine job while I was playing Wing Commander Privateer. I had the starmap on the screen

Other than that it was crap
