In parallel to the recent launch of Creative Suite 6 and Creative Cloud Adobe’s Digital Publishing Suite tools also received a significant update this month. This article from Creative Pro gives a good overview but here are some of the important highlights.
Copying objects is one of those tasks we all do all the time. I regularly come across users who aren’t aware that there are many ways to copy beyond the standard copy and paste commend. Duplicating items in precise ways can be one to the most powerful ways to get a job done quickly and InDesign has numerous ways to do it.
I want to make duplicates of my sample logo. I can do it in the following ways:
1) Select the object then Edit>Copy followed by Edit>Paste
The resulting copy is placed in the middle of the page but the location is not controllable.
Chances are, if you use one Adobe application, you use two or even more. As each has unique features and functions, it’s often necessary to transfer data between apps to get the results you want. Years ago it was necessary to save data in flat, exchange formats such as EPS and TIFF to get this done. Though many people still use this approach it is now very inefficient and time consuming and restricts the capacity to use layers, transparency and other effects. This two-part article presents a quick overview of some of the flexible ways to exchange data in CS5.
Just a quick post to show you some of the landscapes that I have been creating in Blender recently. I have been going through the Nature Academy series of courses (which you have to pay for, it is closed now but I believe it will re-open soon), created by Andrew Price (at blenderguru.com).
Andrew Price has created some fantastic tutorials, and I would heartily recommend that you check out his web site. His latest offering, the Nature Academy series, is all about creating natural landscapes – rocks, trees, grass, lakes, mountains, and so on. Each tutorial (and I am only half way through so far) is chock full of interesting techniques. I have found it invaluable going through the process several times in order to create landscapes in Blender – even though each landscape is different.
