I have a problem, Steve, Dialer, Tobib:
I still have the same FILE>OPEN problem in In Design cs3...but here's the real issue, on the In Design start up page is says that In Design is a trial version....what am I to do? Does this mean that the entire CS3 Master Collection that my former friend put on my computer is a trial version? It doesn't have that statement on the home pages on any of the other applications of the CS3 master collection. What do I do? Of course, I want to do the right thing...but i did not install this and this message has me wondering about the entire software program...and honestly, there is no way I can afford to purchase my own and at the risk of sounding pitiful, that possibility is a long way off. Would you guys say that this "trial" message on In Design means that the entire installation was trial? It also references a 30 day trial when I clicked on the link, but I've had this software for mucccccccccccccccccch longer than 30 days without any of these situations arising. I'm really confused and lost right now, please give me your thoughts/comments/suggestions/advice. TERRI!

Awwww, Terri, I'm so sorry this has come up. When I said "Don't be a stranger," I didn't mean that you should come back with such a dilemma.
 Honestly, I don't know how to advise you about this situation. It might just be a matter of your having to make your own decision about what you think is right. I'd suggest you PM Steve and ask him to have a look at your latest post. And remember, we can still help you put together a very affordable "suite" of your own if you decide that's what you want to do. Or if you just want an alternative for In Design, I'm sure that's quite possible. How do you use it? That is, what features does it have that you just can't live without?

Hey, T
 I actually started using InDesign only because it's what my commercial printer uses and in an effort to cut out "set up fees", I had them make a template from the program they use once I discovered that I have the same program. If not, I would have to send them a jpeg, and they would then have to set it up for printing. So, I guess the solution will end up being that I will have to format a Photoshop CS3 to the exact specs my printer needs to that they could just press print without any setup...so it's not dire....I'm just really pissed that I have a trial version of anything considering that my friend assured me all was on the up and up *sigh* I'm sorry DIALER, that last reply said "T", but it was actually directed to you I'm going off to put and temper tantrum now...we'll catch up later |

heheh... I figured it was either a typo or a shortcut for "thanks."
 I can't imagine sending a JPEG to a commercial printer. I should think a TIFF file would be preferable to that. Many of them can work with PDF or EPS files. Have you checked with them on that? Yuh, I understand about the temper tantrum. Once you're done with that, you'll undoubtedly be able to see more clearly. -------------------- |

okay, color me needy if you will
but I sent out a "what's up?" to everyone the other day and NO ONE responded. I love that everyone is so prompt in helping me with my program problems, but since there'll be times (hopefully) when it's a stretch before I have another problem...I'd love to think that I can just "drop in" and say Hi to everyone and someone will say Hi right back.

LOL! You can stop in and say hi when ever you like! It's just that we're all busy dealing with other things at times and might not get online for a few days, or have to deal with 2 feet of snow and a broken snowblower and crappy shovel with a busted handle......but I'm not complaining!

 stevealmighty I know how you feel as far as the snow. Woke up Sunday morning at 6:30 to 18", then around another 18 that night. Now it looks to be another 8-18" today until tomorrow. Since I'm here, anyone want some snow?Anyway, Dialer is right about jpg going to a commercial printer. If you're going into inDesign, you're going to want to use EPS or TIFFs. Jpgs, gifs, Pngs, etc are used primarily for Internet usage because of their compression. Although they are accepted in inDesign, it isn't recommended. When you send something to the printer, you want to use the best quality, highest resolution images you have; gives you a better print out. Also, when sending to inDesign, remember it's saved as a CMYK color format. Also, even if you're not using inDesign, it's better to do the same. I think that is all about printing you'll need that I can remember. --------------------  "I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority."

Awwwww, I'm sorry Terri!  Noot brings up a good point about saving in CMYK. I know nothing about the specifics of CS3, but even though you can't use InDesign, I should think that PS can do that, yes? It's important, because otherwise the colors won't print properly. Again, talk to your printer. I think there's a good chance that you won't have to pay setup fees if you can provide images that fit all his specifications. That's one of the reasons I suggested the possibility of using PDF files. The printer should be able to set you up with a template - or at least directions - for using that format. Snow? Snow? Steve, Noot ... I don't want to hear about anymore snow!

I have got to get out more No, yes, yes. If PS or one of the other programs in that suite allows you to save in PDF format, it shouldn't be difficult. And EPS files - be sure to ask about those too! No ... you have to stay IN more and play diligently with your software.
