Read at least a few Adobe InDesign CC reviews and think about the factors that you desire in the software such as the price, main features, available integrations etc. Then, select a few solutions that fit your needs. Check out the free trials of these products, read online opinions, get information from the vendor, and do your homework systematically.

Publishing Your Work Once you finished designing and polishing your product with InDesign, it's time to actually send it out into the world. InDesign has a number of helpful export options that can make the process hassle-free, although the vast majority of print design work is still going to be exported as a PDF and sent off to a printer. Things get a bit more interesting with digital documents, thanks to some more interesting export options. Publish Online is a very simple method of allowing you to share your document online in just a few clicks, hosted on Adobe's servers and associated with your Creative Cloud account but visible to anyone with the right URL. Published documents can also be shared on social media or through email, just the way you would with any other website. The end result was pretty good, although I noticed that there were a few issues with the antialiasing of various line elements and edges, but this could be corrected by increasing the resolution and JPEG quality using options in the 'Advanced' tab. I discovered this after I had already published my document, but it's easy to choose the 'Update existing document' option.

Most printers these days actually prefer not to receive Postscript files, and request PDFs instead. Many printers won’t accept Postscript files at all because there’s too much room for error.

How to test macOS 10.13 High Sierra yourself While online compatibility lists are useful, the advice of others can only go so far because it may not reveal problems related to the specific combination of applications and hardware you use. A better way is to test the new macOS upgrade yourself. But be careful: You want to test the new OS without compromising your current working production system, and you have to pay attention to licensing and activation issues.

This article is teaching you how to correctly remove MagnetoGuides for Adobe InDesign 1.0.8 in Mac OS X. Before performing the removal, let’s get to know more about Mac OS X, so that we will be able to safely, completely remove MagnetoGuides for Adobe InDesign 1.0.8. Adobe InDesign delivers tight integration with other Adobe graphics applications, easy-to-use tools that reduce elaborate design tasks to a few quick steps, and built-in support for publishing.

Just remember to back up the new installer afterwards; you may need to use it to install from in the future since your original discs won’t activate any more. Thanks for this.

EGPU support should help address a big complaint about Macs: You can’t upgrade the graphics hardware of any Mac, unless it’s a Mac Pro. But with an eGPU, you can. The reason eGPUs are practical now is because of the data capacity and throughput that’s finally possible with Thunderbolt 3.

Once I did that it said there was an licensing error. The problem I’m having now is, there is no uninstall/reinstall button in the folder. I could only delete.

Some of you pointed out Swift Publisher as a possible alternative to InDesign. In fairness, developer Belight Software isn't trying to copy InDesign feature for feature, or even attempting to make a professional page layout app. But they have succeeded in creating a surprisingly powerful, lightweight page layout app with a lot of cool features at a very low price. Looking over Swift Publisher, I don't liken it to an InDesign competitor as much as a more sophisticated version of an tool like Print Explosion or The Print Shop — and that's squarely its market: for consumers looking for a way to make really pretty layouts for their projects. You can use it to print flyers, newsletters, brochures, calendars and other content either freeforming them from scratch or using built-in templates and clip art. • $19.99 - Pages: Apple's alternative.

These days, the bulk of my clients run windows environments. And since I provide those clients their files when requested, I found it much easier giving them windows files for their archive. On occasion, I get projects from companies that had files provided from designers on Macs.

We loved the user experience and interface, even if it meant our hardware was not the fastest in the world. And we had no viruses! In the present we have a lot of parity in performance and software. However their is a new trend in smaller developers creating designed-focused apps exclusively for the Mac. Whether any of these apps will really take off is anyone’s guess, but Adobe’s move to a subscription model has certainly opened the door to competition. And these developers may decide to release versions for other platforms later and that would make the whole argument mute. I am very happy that I have been a loyal and sometimes snobbish Mac user since about 1990.

The Mac user was generally able to avoid all that and focus their time an energy on the projects at hand. I don’t think every driver should have to learn the theory of the combustion engine and how to change a spark plug before they learn the Rules of the Road and get their first driving lesson, so I always leaned toward the Mac way of doing things–though I have used both systems extensively for decades. Healthy competition always leads to innovation for the end user. I’m glad that PCs have sought to compete with Macs to be relevant and useful to the creative communities. In some aspects, as this article points out, PCs may even exceed. But I still see the Mac workspace as the creative industry leader and standard, in part because I’ve worked on Macs since the mid 80’s, and have never had a compelling reason to switch. Then again, I prefer several flavors of Mac OS to operate my perfect graphic design workflow: 1.

Great article Roberto. Falls right along the lines of Canon vs Nikon. Both have their pros and cons and much depends on what you spent your first dollar on. I myself started designing on the Mac late 80’s, early 90’s.

For Photoshop CC 2017 or earlier, if you have an HFS+ volume mounted, such as a partition or external drive, you can still assign that. Just keep in mind that a scratch disk should be both large and fast. Even though the list of scratch drives is blank in Preferences, Photoshop doesn’t display an error, and continues to work. There’s also a Scratch Disk settings dialog box you can pop up by pressing the Command and Option keys as Photoshop starts up; that does list an APFS boot drive (as Startup, not as its volume name) and appears to allow it there. This may mean Photoshop is able to use the APFS boot drive anyway, but isn’t reporting it properly in the Scratch Disks section of the Preferences dialog box. It is unlikely that this will be fixed for versions of Photoshop earlier than CC 2018. Adobe Lightroom Classic CC The Lightroom team has posted a compatibility document (). However, it lists only one issue; to see other issues discovered and being discussed visit the official.

You can get Photoshop Elements 2018 without a subscription for around US$70. Adobe says it’s compatible with High Sierra (). Now you know what those of us who depended on FreeHand have been through! Since Illustrator could not compete with it, Adobe bought FreeHand and are just sitting on it. They do nothing to support it let alone upgrade it. I finally installed Parallels running Snow Leopard so that I could use it, but it is slow. Now I am having trouble with my PS CS5.

Before they export their documents to PDF, they will be able to apply tags to page items so they can be accurately and conveniently viewed or read on a full-sized monitor, handheld device, or through a web browser. They can tag page items as stories, headlines, or figures. Furthermore, they will be able to add alternative texts to graphics or objects that they are tagging as figures. Alternative texts are words or phrases that are used to describe images. Viewers or readers who are visually impaired rely on alternative texts so they can recognize and understand the information and meaning conveyed by images. Through the aid of a screen-reading software the alternative texts are read aloud.

Remember to take care of your machines! I used to be a closed minded techy IT guy who went back to school for Graphic Design and 3D Design. I had “options” about the Mac as do many Windows people do and then I got a job working at a support center that had Windows support groups as well as Mac. I was put on the Mac team and sent for training and I swore I would never be “one of those Apple lovers”. After really learning the Mac inside out and then being on the support team, I soon fell in love with the Mac. Since then, I have worked on both Macs and PCs, but more recently, just the Mac as I have fewer problems.

This is at least partially fixed in Lightroom 6.13 and in Lightroom Classic CC (7). For a few users (not all), Lightroom 6/CC 2015 crashes on launch in High Sierra. Some have been able to resolve this.

I recently speced a PC machine for a friend who wanted a high end machine for video editing in 4K. It cost MORE than my iMac which handles 4K in real time without a stutter.) As we all knew back in the beginning, PCs would be built down to a price.

The last version of Mac OS X to run PowerPC software was OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. Other ways High Sierra may affect Adobe software A few more changes in High Sierra have potential implications for Adobe users. APFS (Apple File System) The file system is the part of the OS that keeps track of all your files. This is such a fundamental function that when that changes, there is great potential for big problems if the transition isn’t handled 100% properly. High Sierra is built on top of the new, which is designed around security, reliability, and the ability to work across macOS, iOS, tvOS and watchOS. APFS will eventually replace the decades-old HFS+, but for now, High Sierra can work with APFS or HFS+. If your Mac’s system volume is on a solid-state drive (SSD), the High Sierra installer converts its file system to APFS; this is not optional.
