HeyDudesWassup Posted April 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 Just the basics, there is so much software out there. What software to use? any specific software easier and more intuitive to use for beginners then others? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Maha_Pavitar Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 Adobe Photoshop is not what you make Print Media designs/projects in though.. It is a cornerstone for a Designer, but personally I would recommend learning a Page Layout Program like Quark Express.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyDudesWassup Posted April 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 I thought Adobe Indesign did everything Quark did but better? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyDudesWassup Posted April 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 Photoshop is nice, I got it but the program is very bulky and not nearly as intuitive for me as Macromedia Fireworks adobe photoshop! its very easy to pick up and its levels of learning are endless 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maha_Pavitar Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 I thought Adobe Indesign did everything Quark did but better? Nahi nahi..Quark will ALWAYS remain the King..If you give me some more specifics, I can set up some templates for you so you can create some mock designs, layouts etc... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaapaaraa Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 I have one question too.. If I have a photograph and I want to make it large size (i.e double its original), without losing its detail... I dont know if this is possible.. but do you have any ideas I know I can always convert the photo to ai format and then stretch it to its limits.. but I dont want to convert it to vector format.. as it loses some details any other ways? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maha_Pavitar Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 Are you scanning it?? Make sure you scan it at 300/600 dpi..view actual pixels and see how it goes from there. Usually when I scan even a passport size photograph at 300/600 dpi it covers at least a 1/4-1/2 page without distortion..Let me know if you are scanning, or send me the file I'll see what i can do 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
