Screenshots: CS1 Running in Leopard

October 26, 2007 | Posted in News | 5 Comments »

I promised some of you that I would test CS1 in the new Leopard install and I’m glad to report that (so far) it seems to work fine. Impressive on both Adobe, and Apple’s part in my book, given CS1’s age. I haven’t crunched any huge files yet, but everything I grazed over seemed to be in working order. (I’m only talking about Photoshop and Illustrator here, by the way). You might note that I had CS1 installed on my hard drive and did an “upgrade” to Leopard. I didn’t install CS1 afterwards. Check out the screenshots:

No EPS Preview (Thumbnail/Cover Flow) in Leopard

October 26, 2007 | Posted in News | 38 Comments »

I don’t know what features you may or may not have been looking forward to in Apple’s Leopard release, but me. . . I’m easy to please. All I wanted for Christmas was an EPS preview in Finder. As a designer, not being able to view a thumbnail of EPS files drives me to crazy town, and also wastes a lot of time opening EPS files in Illustrator just to see what’s in them. I installed Leopard earlier tonite and out of all the bells and whistles, the one I wanted just isn’t happening. Oh, and don’t worry, i doesn’t work in Quick Look either. Maybe I’m not understanding something about EPS, (I’d like to hear your thoughts) but I would really like to know why there is never a thumbnail available for this format. A format that designers use very regularly.

Forum Find: CS3 Works After Leopard Upgrade

October 25, 2007 | Posted in News | 28 Comments »

In preparation for OS 10.5 Leopard’s release tomorrow, I’ve been poking around the Apple forums and came across a user that claims CS3 is still working after his Leopard Upgrade. I’ve heard tons people begging for an answer to this question, so I thought you all would like to know. Here is the thread, Just installed Leopard by user ray sharpe. He also states that these other apps are working perfectly in Leopard: “Biz, Skype, Handbrake, Toast, Limewire, EyeTV, SiteSucker, Google Earth, Earth Browser, Suitcase Fusion, Parallels, ECI Client V5 (tax), Uncoverit and SnapZ pro.”

Illustrator Brush-Making Tip: Colorization Method

October 24, 2007 | Posted in Illustrator | 24 Comments »

Making a custom brush in Illustrator can be easy and frustrating at the same time. No matter which type of brush you create, one of the most important settings to pay attention to is the ‘colorization method.’ If you don’t change the colorization method from the default setting, you won’t be able to customize the colors of your (custom) brush strokes later. Here’s what you need to do…
