  1. what do you hate about your software?

    I agree. Similarly, if you apply the "round corners" function in Illustrator it does not just affect the sharp corners. It also tries to round the parts that are already curved and thus distorts these lines
  2. what do you hate about your software?

    Can't you just select from the menu object>rasterize and select the resolution there?
  3. what do you hate about your software?

    You can change the guideline colors in the preferences. Or am I missing something?
  4. what do you hate about your software?

    Use the options shown just above it. To center in the artboard chose the center top/bottom and center left/right. Sure that is more than one click but it does more than that. You can also choose to have it align to the artboard edges too, not just the center
  5. what do you hate about your software?

    You can do this in Illustrator... see attached. It is called align to artboard, in the lower right
  6. what do you hate about your software?

    Wish list for Illustrator.... Corel has the ability to convert points on a polygon and then each point on that polygon mirrors what you do to those points On the attached sample, in Corel you can create this multipointed star, convert JUST 2 points into a curve and then adjust the control...
  7. what do you hate about your software?

    OK, every thread on the corel vs illustrator talks about how wonderful their software is, let's do the opposite. Complain about Illustrator, Corel, Photoshop, Flexi, Gerber. No picking on Publisher or Office. Those programs already are hated by the design community. Tell me what you dislike...
  8. cs5.5 is 10% off

    I disagree. Every version you wait, they charge you more to upgrade. Plus there are changes in cs4 and cs5 that I can use. Remember too, that I am a "service provider". I receive newer versions of files as art and must be able to open them flawlessly. If it was not for that I could probably...
  9. cs5.5 is 10% off

    No not yet. That is a large chunk of money. I have yet to determine if the value is there going from a tablet to the Cintiq. Maybe the price will go down in coming years as touch screens begin to become a bit more mainstream. Someone else here has one that they are considering parting with...
  10. cs5.5 is 10% off

    You are correct. there are no new features for Illustrator or Photoshop. The only reason I chose to upgrade was that I was overdue and did not want the next price jump to cs6 to be too high. After a certain point, there are no upgrade discounts if you wait too long between versions
  11. cs5.5 is 10% off

    There is a sale going on until June 3rd for 10% off and free shipping thru 5/31 when ordered at adobe.com. Call me old fashioned but I like to have a physical copy of my software Usually CS software is updated every 18 months or so. I was afraid that if I waited too long for cs6 it would be...
  12. factory stripes?

    i doubt a dealership will give up on these moneymakers. All dealer installed equipment is way overpriced
  13. what do you use to vectorize?

    What would be the purpose? It is only one click in Illustrator from the menu. That still does not fix the shortcomings of an autotrace
  14. Think I need a new MacBook Pro SuperDrive?

    That only repairs hard drives, not Superdrives (cd/dvd)
  15. Should Know This Font, But...

    avant garde bold?
  16. what do you use to vectorize?

    Yeah maybe a misunderstanding. No tablet makes it automatic, you still have to do it manually. Having a tablet just makes it less cumbersome IMO
  17. Think I need a new MacBook Pro SuperDrive?

    It won't fix the problem per se, but rather confirm if this is hardware or software related. Copying files from account to another is ok if you are desperate but only wastes space as you will have a copy twice on your hard drive. If the problem goes away on the 2nd login account then you know it...
  18. Think I need a new MacBook Pro SuperDrive?

    System preferences, click on Accounts and then click on the + symbol. That way if you have multiple users on your computer the other users can login to their own account and have their own "dock", backgrounds, passwords in Safari, itunes, photos, etc etc. Even if you are the only user it is a...
  19. Think I need a new MacBook Pro SuperDrive?

    What kind of errors? Have you tried logging in as another account name to make sure it is a hardware error and not software?
  20. Think I need a new MacBook Pro SuperDrive?

    if you want to fix any Mac this is the website to go to. Desktops are easy to replace drives, memory, you name it. Laptops are tricky because you need the proper screwdrivers and other tools to remove specialized screws. Not all screws are easy to remove. Also tolerances to make these machines...
