  1. Creating a vector contour for a photo

    A tablet allows for this type of speed. Constantly clicking and dragging with a mouse makes a job like this take longer. I believe I am 25-30% faster using a tablet vs a mouse
  2. Creating a vector contour for a photo

    I apologize for the large size. I tried to reduce the file size but not so much that the screen is unreadable This video is in response to the occasional request for how to create a contour path on a photo to remove a background or for cutting around I welcome any comments or questions...
  3. FONT ID please

    american typewriter bold, condensed a bit. What part is not matching for you?
  4. Secondary backup drive in case of hard drive failure

    I thought we were. The original post was talking about a backup drive which is typically set up to backup/clone the entire drive to allow for a easy reinstall. But I too am looking into a cloud based backup of my drive for redundancy. My only concern is fire/flood or some other disaster that...
  5. Secondary backup drive in case of hard drive failure

    That sounds complex. How are you able to back up your drive over multiple accounts? Or are you selectively sending files to the various accounts on your own? The negative is that it does not sound like a reliable way to back up an entire hard drive and be able to restore properly. I don't want...
  6. Secondary backup drive in case of hard drive failure

    Only up to 15gb. Any more than that and you must pay
  7. Illustrator not opening

    try reinstalling
  8. A couple new fonts I recently designed.

    Nice. On the western font check your R. It is missing the little spur that is on every other letter

    Hello neighbor. I am right next door in Lewis Center. Go Bucks, beat the Ducks!
  10. Font name Help needed

    Handel gothic, top. Good times, bottom
  11. New logo! What do you all think?

    You may also want to have someone proofread your body copy. I read a few paragraphs and lost count after about 36 serious grammar mistakes
  12. What Would Be The Best Way To Trace This For cut?

    No sound but this video shows basically what you would do. In this video I am tracing some eagle artwork but the same pen tool would be used to follow along the edges of the engine. You can be very precise by zooming in more and picking up every little notch or you can smooth it out somewhat but...
  13. Photoshop Help Please

    have you dragged the eyedropper tool around the image in photoshop? If there is even a hint of color then this could happen. All white needs to be 255,255,255. If you see those numbers vary even slightly when sweeping across white areas then you could have some colored areas that are barely...
  14. Illustrator CC Slow Opening Files

    Can you provide any other info? I have a 2013 iMac with SSD and most CC files open up in 1 sec or less. Perhaps the file is incredibly complex/large? One thing to try is to create a new temporary user, log in as that user and see if the files open with any delay. If they open quickly then you...
  15. Can somebody explain font numbers to me?

    I personally feel that a full sized $ sign on a menu is distracting. Many of the old hand lettered chalkboards or paper tags have the smaller dollar and cent symbols. I don't think any of these would look good with a full sized dollar sign
  16. Can somebody explain font numbers to me?

    I don't know the official answer but I do know that in Illustrator you can have it type out normal number heights if you turn off by clicking on "proportional lining" on the opentype tab. It only works with Opentype fonts that have full character sets.
  17. Ditching cable TV

    Looks like I may be cutting the cord. We have over 250 channels and watch less than 15. Thanks for all who replied. I am part of the Apple ecosystem so it is up in the air between roku and apple TV. I have read the advantages of one over the other.
  18. Ditching cable TV

    A couple of questions. I assume you need a xbox, roku or apple tv box for each TV in the house? We have 2. One already as an xbox360 connected so I need another if the answer is yes. Also, since you are now streaming everything is there an issue with lets say someone watching a stream on 2 TV's...
  19. Ditching cable TV

    Has anyone ditched their cable provider altogether? I could write an entire article about the problems I am having with Time Warner Cable right now. I have considered 3 options... 1. No cable (just an xbox, roku, AppleTV setup) with Netflix, HuluPlus and Amazon and then an antenna for locals...
  20. What would YOU do with the money?

    About 90% of the files I produce are saved down to version cs6 and lower, mostly version 8. That way if I ever quit subscribing to Adobe CC or Adobe Headquarters goes belly up, hit by a nuclear warhead or doubles their prices I can be assured that I can continue working by using older versions...
