    Hello Signs 101, Just a quick note to let people here know of all the vectorized ornamental images I now have at Letterhead Fonts. They just released several of our Broadway panels sets, and Saratoga was released only a month or so ago. It is a brand new collection designed to compliment or...

    I recently released a brand new collection of panels and ornaments called the Saratoga Collection. It compliments our Centennial Collection, Americana Collection, Main Street Collection and Broadway Collection. Many of the panels and ornaments in Saratoga were inspired by the glass work of the...
  5. Glass Cigar Sign, back painted and mirrored

    A blast from the past! :) Nice job on the antique looking sign! That piece of artwork originated in my original Classic Sign Painter's Ornaments I digitized in 1995. It was part of #3. Volumes 1, 2 & 3 were sold originally on floppy disks, as people didn't have CD drives for the most part. I...
  6. omega 2.6 Layout found on ebay

    Just for the record, I am still a big fan of Omega. I've been using 3.0 for a while and have 4.0 on order. 3.0 has been very stable on my system. I like Illustrator for my rough digitizing, but hate it for the flipping, aligning, and welding. For bitmaps and photos, I like Photoshop. Kudos to...
  7. New Offerings from Golden Era Studios

    Hello Signs 101, I advertised here earlier in the year and quite a few people purchased one or more of our CD collections. Thanks! In the time since then, Golden Era Studios has licensed many of our images through Letterhead Fonts. Three smaller groupings of our images from the Americana...
  8. Welding multiple shapes in Omega

    Hi again, Thanks for the comments. I have been using Photoshop so much that the shortcut keys there are becoming natural. When I switch back to Omega for some digitizing and cleanup, the old commands are not always at the tip of my fingers as before. That and all the gray in my beard is playing...
  9. Welding multiple shapes in Omega

    Found it. Contour under the Effects menu. AltO-E-C or Alt5-C-C M Jackson
  10. Welding multiple shapes in Omega

    Hello, I've used this command a zillion times, but not in a long time. There is a command that lets you weld multiple overlapping shapes into one shape. I've always used the shortcut command ...something like Contrl-S-W, but I can't remember it now. I don't see it in any of the drop down menus...
  11. Vectorizing a image, Is this "ok"?

    Take a photo of HIS car and have that digitized. I'd also say you are asking for trouble using any photo off the Internet unless you pay the royalty fee. And of course, anyone can advise you of all kinds of legal issues, but if you get caught, it is you on the hot seat and not any of the people...
  12. Customer Doesn't Want To Pay Sales Tax

    I always include the line Plus 6% Wyoming Sales tax in the original quote. You can always say you are required by law to charge the tax and they are required by law to pay it. If they still haggle, suggest that you'll be glad to contact the state sales tax department for them and let them hear...
  13. photoshop help

    Here's a screen grab of the Open dialog box for a 48" x 96" image at 150 dpi. The file is almost 400 megs. Mike Jackson
  14. photoshop help

    I believe you are trying to sneak into Photoshop from a bad direction. If you simply OPEN an Illustrator AI or EPS file, you get this dialog box. In that box, you can change the size of the vector graphic to any size you want, and you can change the resolution to any you want. Of course, the...
  15. how to make this work---arc gradient

    Try filling the letters with red. Drag out an oval that more or less follows the bottom of the letters. Slice it just before the first letter and just after the last letter the throw away the unneeded portion of the oval. Then select the new line and "Stroke" it with a large, soft brush of...
  16. Larger Thumbnails shown for Broadway Collection

    Hi all, Back when we were making a lot of signs (sandblasted/MDO/carved/dimensional) here in Jackson Hole, I used images from the Broadway Collection almost daily. We released the Broadway Collection and it sold okay but not as well as I had anticipated. I don't think most people visualized the...
  17. How is this effect created...

    Hi, That effect would be EASY in Photoshop using a plug-in called Eye Candy 6. You'd just take in a tan shape and apply a bevel (button, emboss...etc) of the right amount. Done. In Illustrator, you'd have to create most of the major divisions and apply gradient fills of the appropriate colors. I...
  18. Handmade Sign-What you think

    Personally, I would have put the address in the upper part and let the name fill the center section. Mike Jackson www.goldenstudios.com
  19. scroll clipart needed

    jhill, Sorry about that. I hadn't seen all the rules about off site images. Looks like Fred fixed it for me. I added PayPal buttons for the Bundle Pricing on our collections. Several people here ordered them in the past few weeks. Thanks! Mike Jackson www.goldenstudios.com
  20. Need Advice: New Shop PC Purchase

    I agree with many of the comments above. If you are reliant on any specific piece of hardware or software, you need to find a computer that can handle it. Moving to a 64 bit system is a bit more risky right now because not all hardware and software have been certified to run with it. Some...
