  1. Photoshop/Masking/Vector??!?!

    content of the layer is not directly editable" I get this in CS2. Try going to the layer menu to "Smart Object" then "convert to layer" or rasterize layer. I know you want a vector rather than raster, but honestly, (anyone correct me if I'm wrong) I don't think Photoshop does a real vector...

  3. Illustrator question

    eps file Try to open in photoshop, save as tiff and import the tiff into publisher. I'm not familiar with publisher but this process works well to move an eps into other programs. If you can't import/open a tiff, photoshop gives several options in "save as". Also, eps files do well when they...
  4. Color adjusting for large format

    Mark, I originally opened it using the embedded profile and it printed very dark, with no "pop" at all, while it looked great on the monitor. It was tagged with the newer of the 2 adobe profiles, (can't remenber the exact wording). The best color obtained while printing was when I set up CS2 to...

  10. Color adjusting for large format

    printing newbie, really You have much more experience than most so it feels to us like any suggestions are going to sound insulting - other than take a step back, relax, and see what may have changed. Please feel free! I've only been printing since Feb., but I took a seminar on color...
  11. Color adjusting for large format

    I am setting up a job on the CJ500 for a final print of 10' x14.5'. I have seen the printer print all of these colors, (within reason) on a simple graphic so I know it's capable. I am using the same profile and same material as a previous job which came out very well. I have done 10 test...
  12. Color choice error shuts down program

    Update on problem: I was able to cut vinyl all day after disabling Spy Sweeper. (and a bit of help from Gino on another glitch!) I think it was kicking ColorChoices legs out from under. Now that I know the problem I think theres a way to make Spysweeper leave everything ColorChoice needs alone...

    So, just when things were running smoothly: I'm cutting some vinyl on the CJ500 with no problem, then hit send for the next plot and up pops a little window saying "Production MFC Application has encountered an unexpected problem and needs to close." And ColorChoice goes down. An hour later, I...
