Just like the subject line says, Saturday, June 20 is the last day to take advantage of the COVID-19 related sale on Affinity graphics applications. Anyone curious about Affinity Designer can buy it for OSX or Windows for $24.99 or $9.99 for iPad. The application regularly costs $49.99 (PC/Mac)...

The powerscripts product is more about automating various kinds of tasks. The plug-ins from Astute Graphics are mostly very different products geared more for the creative front end side of the process.

That's strange. I figured the slew of plug-in updates were for AI 24.2 compatibility. However, at the Astute Graphics web site they're saying the compatibility release of their plug-ins is now targeted for the week starting Monday, June 22.

I wouldn't put it past Corel to do something like that. The company has been owned by private equity companies since 2003. Vector Capital bought it then. They put some effort into loading up Corel with lots of debt by acquiring various other companies like Jasc Software, Roxio, Word Perfect and...

Astute Graphics' plug-ins for Adobe Illustrator are awesome. There are functions in plug-ins like InkScribe and PathScribe that might make anyone wonder why those features weren't incorporated into the core tool sets of Illustrator or other drawing programs before. Some of the plug-ins...

Adobe pushed out a couple additional yet minor updates to Photoshop and Illustrator today (following the bigger update yesterday). Astute Graphics released updates for a bunch of their Illustrator plug-ins today. I assume those are the compatibility updates for AI 24.2, but they haven't...

I haven't seen any updates for InDesign that would change its current max document size of 216 inches. I have a feeling this large canvas capability may end up being something that remains unique to Illustrator and not shared with InDesign. I'm usually not all that bothered by having to send...

Here are some useful links providing more info about the AI 24.2 update and large canvas feature: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/whats-new/2020-2.html https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/large-sized-artwork.html...

Today Adobe rolled out the ".2" update to Illustrator CC 2020. Some improvements were made regarding performance and to the cloud docs feature. But the big thing is they have finally rolled out the new large canvas feature to the public. This allows documents up to a max of 2275" X 2275"...

If we have such a job opening we'll check with the art/graphic design departments at our local university and vo-tech for possible candidates. It could be either as an internship or full/part time gig. It doesn't take artistic talent to be able to run a vinyl cutter or some of the other...

Caxton.

What is the OP trying to sell? It sounds like some kind of middle man service to respond to online customer reviews. If that's the case a sign company's old sales dept or managers should be the ones doing that work, not a third party that isn't related to the sign company at all. Most of our...

The typeface used in the sample image from a vehicle window looks familiar (like something that might have been bundled with Corel or CASmate at one time), but I can't think of it what it is. Thanks in advance.

We say more than "thank you." I'm not going type out what all we might say on the phone or type online.

If the review is from a real customer we'll respond directly by phone or via the platform where the review was posted. If it is a positive review we'll thank them for the positive comments. If it's a negative review we'll try to get to the bottom of why they're upset. But, as I stated before...

Getting back to the topic, not many customers are going to go out of their way to write a review on Yelp or a business' Google page or on a social media site (Facebook, Twitter). If they do go to the trouble they're bound to be really happy or really angry. We don't see a huge tide of reviews or...

Question: is the vinyl color opaque high performance or translucent? In high performance Gerber's Periwinkle (220-387) is fairly close. There's nothing in the 3M/Gerber translucent range (230/3630) that is even in the ball park to Pantone 7683 C. I'm going by my physical Pantone Plus Series...

Our company has stayed pretty busy throughout the COVID-19 crisis. We had a few big projects already deep into production. A lot of regular work slowed down a good bit, but we were routing and assembling lots and lots of custom sneeze guards for local businesses. Thankfully Oklahoma hasn't been...

Affinity Designer is really not an equal to Adobe Illustrator, at least not yet anyway. Designer is fairly rudimentary by comparison. It's a low cost alternative ($49.99 normally, $24.99 on sale) that's probably acceptable to beginners, amateurs and hobbyists. It's going to need at least a few...

I wasn't responding to you regarding my comment to ams about using CDR 2018 more despite having CDR 2020. With that being said, CDR 2020 still has some serious bugs. Plenty of users are angry about it, which is very easy to see in the Corel user forums. All your examples are niche programs...
