  1. Sydney Heritage Sign

    Walking around today in town, I took this photo, then looked up the company name on google, and saw that many others had taken the same photo, but among the results, I stumbled upon this document written by the NSW State Heritage Department. It contains some images of heritage signs around...

    http://blogs.adobe.com/photoshopdotcom/2011/10/behind-all-the-buzz-deblur-sneak-peek.html How cool is this?! Calculates the motion of movement then corrects the blur. Pretty impressive stuff.
  3. Who do you follow/subscribe to?

    So... I thought I'd start a thread where we can share our favourite tweets/pages that we may find useful/helpful. I like seeing videos and tips/tricks on the Adobe Illustrator page, and also reading about new products from 3M or Avery pages/tweets. Adobe's channel is really quite impressive...
  4. Nascar Wrap 60sec time lapse vid

    A Roland DG upload. How much easier would your life be if every customer brought their car in like this? A question for the wrappers here - why does the logo on the rear quarter panel get put on as a separate piece? Would you have done it as one piece? http://youtu.be/3QJIMNZPgDo

  6. Actions Pallette - Calling Gurus

    Ok, So I finally got around to something I've been wanting to do for a while on my to do list. Make actions for common tasks in Illy. So far, I've created actions for the below; - offset path - unite selection - and I've created one that creates a bleed around selected object but...
  7. Attitude.

    I can't stand this attitude I'm seeing more of recently. "I know I owe you $1500 but I can only pay $900 now, I will pay the rest later". No joke... The next time I have to do one of their cars, they're only getting one door done... with a bit of... "I know I had to do the 2 doors...
  8. PIA but worth noting - Illy CMYK -> PMS convert

    My share for the day shows how to convert a CMYK value in Ai to a PMS (or any other colour book) number. A real PIA to do but I don't know of any other ways. I recently had to use this (although I don't like to personally, as it might not be as reliable as one might hope depending on...

    Is it just me or does vinyl just seem to flow on down without a trouble when you've had half a bottle... [foghorn voice], "of wiiiiiiiiiiiiiine that is!" :bushmill:
  10. Do you do it before or after lamming?

    Quick question of curiosity to others here who make their own colour profiles. How many of you do things the right way, VS the quick way? * Do you wait for your print to completely dry before doing your linearisation, and then also wait before doing your colour chart? * Do you wait for...
  11. Banding Question

    Although this doesn't lead to any jobs getting rejected, I am curious to find out if there is a simple fix for this type of banding. It's not very noticable from a distance of more than a couple feet, but it just bugs me. It is an 8 pass profile, and I've noticed it across a variety of...
  12. Batch Levels

    I'm wondering what the best way is to apply a fixed "levels adjustment" layer, to a bunch of PDFs I have which I'd like to bring into photoshop. Can this be done? 1) open the pdf in PS 2) apply the pre determined levels adjustment 3) save as tiff Thanks in advance.

  17. General Formulations - seeking feedback before buying

    Anyone use CC500 by Gen.Formulations? I've never used it, but it's significantly cheaper than any other polymeric vinyl... should I consider it or... ? Any real life feedback would be great. I'm looking at using it in black in particular as block out.
  18. How much more can we learn from nature?

    Check out the close up of a squid's skin at around 2:30 in this video. Looks like variable droplet sizes in inkjet printing, and/or pixels, dynamically changing shape! Imagine if they are able to electronically control and emulate this type of device on say a computer screen or a print...
