Getting Ready for CS3, Leopard & New Macs.

Thanks to everyone who joined us for Creativetechs’ presentation “Getting Ready for CS3, Leopard and New Macs!” at the School of Visual Concepts. We had a fun evening.

Turnout was great, and the audience Q&A at the end of the night went on for at least an hour after the show. Obviously this is a hot topic.

As always, here is a PDF of our presentation:

Photoshop Techniques circa 1995!

Digging through an old server in the Creativetechs network closet, we unearthed copies of Photoshop Techniques — a newsletter we published years ago in the younger days of Adobe Photoshop.

With all the buzz in our office around Adobe’s upcoming launch of Creative Suite 3, we thought it would be fun to dust off the old files and publish the whole collection in PDF format.

Free software training in Seattle.

Update: All the free sessions have been snatched up. If you missed out, drop us an email us at at training@creativetechs.com. If there is enough interest, we might add a couple more days to Jason’s schedule.

In February, Creativetechs welcomed Jason Hoppe into our growing support team. Jason provides high end production training, photo retouching, color correction, and other creative workflow management consulting.

Many of our clients aren’t yet used to calling Creativetechs when they need software training or production support. So to kick things off, we’re offering free training sessions for our Seattle-area membership clients:

Adobe Photoshop
Adobe Illustrator
Adobe InDesign
QuarkXPress
Adobe Acrobat
Studio Color
Management
E-Pro Workflow
(General)
E-Pro for Microsoft
Vendors

We’ve set aside 4 days through April, and have 16 11 7 5 4 only 2 no more open slots (sorry). We’ll come out to your office. You pick the 1-hour session of your choice. This offer is open for all current Creativetechs member clients.

Not a Creativetechs member client? You can still qualify for a free session — but there is a catch. Read on for full details.

Here is a great tip if you are having problems with regular hangs/pauses in Entourage — especially with hangs that slow down your Mac with extended periods of heavy unexplained disk activity.

Get to know InDesign’s Info Palette.

InDesign’s humble Info palette may not inspire a lot of interest at first. But take a moment to explore some of the handy details it provides. Once you get used to the variety of information it can display you’ll be heading there all the time.

To show the Info pallette, choose Window > Info from the top menu bar.

The information displayed in this palette changes depending on the object you are working with in InDesign. You can use the Info palette to quickly check the printing resolution of placed graphics, get a quick word count on text, or other handy details.
