You can't crop a bitmap in Illy?!
I hate resizing bitmaps in Illy. I have to hold down a key to keep from distorting the bitmap. I can never remember the correct key the first time. I like that Corel keeps the bitmap undistorted as the default. You have to hold down a key if you want to mess up...
Huh?
"I swear ... the amount of time it takes to create and refine shapes is about twice as long as it takes in corel"
"... simple things for vector distortions and the like ... NON EXISTANT."(in Corel)
uhhhh.... which is it? Or am I misunderstanding you?
I can distort the crap out of shapes...
It does not do this to me. If it crashes, it tries to save whatever file I was working on but it's in an obscure place that I can never remember how to find and has a funny name. But just the one file.
I tried to get Corel to make those auto save files in a separate drive once... and it did...
Nope. I want a button. In Corel I click a button and it zooms out until all objects are shown. It's common in cad software and useful for finding "orphans" before you send out a file to print or whatever. Especially if the orphan is a shape with no outline or fill. Wouldn't cost Adobe much to...
I ran into this last week. I was flabergasted that it didn't do this automatically. You have to "embed linked bitmaps" (or some such) or they just don't go along with the file. Who would put a bitmap into a file if they didn't want it there? I figured this out buy dicking around in the online...
In Corel I can't get colours to be as vibrant as I would like on screen. The colours print exactly like they appear on the screen... I just can't make them look as pretty as I would like.
Corel added this in X4.... finally. Nice to have.
I would also like to see the size dialogue box go live. That is... when I start a rectangle I can just type the dimension and it works without having to click inside the dialogue box first.
Wait! I double clicked the icon with the little hand on it and it worked like Wayne said it would. (only to the artboard though... still no zoom to all objects)Wayne is better than Illy help! (so is my dog)
The thing I hate most about Illustrator is the "help" files. I clicked help and had to go online.(strike one) then I typed in "pan tool" and got this: Adobe Illustrator CS4 * Save For Web & Devices overview Select the Hand tool (or hold down the spacebar), and drag in the view...
Illustrator needs a"zoom all" button like Corel... or any other drawing program on the planet. (oops... that was a bit snarky, wasn't it.)
It's a royal pain in the a$$ zooming out to see all objects in Illustrator.
I'd do this with an inkjet and lam on pre-painted, pre-cut aluminum blanks. It's quick, cheap and everybody and his dog has an inkjet printer these days. Should be pretty easy to find a good local shop with one. Buy Corel Draw and make the files up and email them to your print guy.
