I think that age has quite a bit to do with the adoptation of InDesign. In general, I have found that late 30's+ individuals that depend on Xpress to get the job done are less willing to make the switch that younger designers. This doesnt just have …

Oh, BTW Camino always maximizes when you click the zoom button. If you click it again it will go back to your previous window size.

Remember too that nearly every album made within the last 10-15 years was originally recorded digitally (there are some analog circumstances). So any music you listen to on a record has once been digitized. However, remember that all professional so…

Thanks guys! I was getting concerned for a moment... I know this sounds anal, but I dont like that flag in my menu bar. Is there another way of accessing the keyboard viewer? If not then I can just temporarily enable it and then disable it when I…

InDesign and Quark files are certainly documents. It is probably debatable whether or not Illustrator files are images. I tend to think of them as documents, but then again I think of all images as documents as well... InDesign and Quark primari…
