    Great for you guys with high-speed connection...me, on dial-up...forget it. Ken
  2. fluid mask

    I did download the trial..and I've tried using it on a couple of photos. I dont find it much easier that using the magic wand or backgound erase in Photoshop...I guess it takes time to truely appreciate it. That's the problem...time. Leanring a new software requires dedicated time..do you...
  3. 1st Design off, window perf challenge, Astours vs. Shovelhead

    So, when the voting is done, can we get some insight from the creators of these designs about the methodology. I think that would be enormously helpful...anyone else think so? Cheers! Ken
  4. 1st Design off, window perf challenge, Astours vs. Shovelhead

    Yeah, you know I have the Vector art mega collection #1..I think i've used those images maybe 10 times over 4 years. I, or the client, will look thru it and..well...it's just not right. But they are modifiable( is that a word?..lol) as to color and removing unwanted parts. Any time spent...

    HI Steve. Welcome from BC. The Stika 12 inch cutter ( Roland)may be where you want to start, but it really wont help you with finely detailed graphics that you speak of. Try to find a lightly used name brand machine in the 24 inch size.( Roland, Graphted, Mutoh) Take my word for it. Once you...
  6. 1st Design off, window perf challenge, Astours vs. Shovelhead

    I disagree with banning clipart from any design, here or in the field. Properly used, it can save your client some money and us some time. Ken
  7. 1st Design off, window perf challenge, Astours vs. Shovelhead

    #2 did not get the perimeter configuration right. Also cant read the little text..and no phone number. The interior graphics within the circle are very nice. And the footprints are cool, but unecessary, distracting from the message. #1 Filled the requirements of the exercise so I would be...
  8. Photoshop running slow

    Save as a .pdf and you can post larger files here. To send the file to the printer save to CD, and mail it away or deliver. Set up a time with them so they can print a portion of it while you attend. Cheers! Ken

    Hi JT, welcome from BC. Ken
  10. oh man another n00b with a q

    Hi John. Welcome from BC. I would try some fresh vinyl and tape. Cheers! Ken
  11. Photoshop running slow

    Hey Bear..not sure how far away from your printer you are..you could send the whole file to them...have them print about 3 feet of it..then check it out. Ask their opinion!! File size, file type etc. Can we see it? Cheers! Ken
  12. WinPCSIGN PRO, anyone using this?

    Are you using another version of WinPC at this time? I'm still using WinPC letter 12 with my P-Cut ( 24 inch)..and it does what I need it to do. I wouldnt jump on the Pro version. My .02 Ken
  13. Trade up your Roland printer...?

    Thanks Pete..I'll be sure to contact you when the time comes. Cheers! Ken
  14. Trade up your Roland printer...?

    So, whats the offer? Ken
  15. Photoshop running slow

    Hey..that's a cool gig... I really dont think you have to go that high with resolution. Can we assume this sign will be away from close-up scrutiny ? You may (should) be able to get by with 72 dpi if that is the case. Ken
  16. Photoshop running slow

    First you said 72 inches..now you're saying 72 feet. I expect you mean 72 inches. You could break this file into tiles, thereby making each piece more manageable. But really, that size file at full scale should manageable with a relatively new computer. Mine is about 4 years old now..2 gigs...
  17. Trade up your Roland printer...?

    Yeah , thanks for the replies..I know its not the best offer. I actually dont feel that I NEED a 54 inch print/cut at this time..just wanted to bounce it off you all. Cheers! Ken
  18. MarketPro font??

    Thanks for trying Shovelhead.. Ken "HOPE is the worst of evils, for it prolongs the torments of man." Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche Good quote..My belief is that taking action, wether the right direction or not, is the choice to be made. Ken

  20. how to remove a background

    I agree with weasel..somtimes the razor knife is much quicker. With corel, there is photo-Paint that allows you to isolate an image. In photshop, there are a couple of ways. If it's just a one-off...use Mack the Knife. Cheers! Ken BTW, I downloaded Fluid Mask..so far I've found it not so...
