    I always shop around before i pay full price for electronics. i picked pick up on for my buddy that just got a plotter here. I looked at the features on the keyspan product (which he wanted in the 1st place) and chose one with the same features for a 1/3 the cost incl. shipping. I think it...
  3. scratch disk?

    Yeah i learned my lesson long ago. Even when you install PS for the first time, it recommends not using C: as the primary scratch disk. just go grab a cheap 80gig and use that as the scratch disk. Guaranteed you will see a performance boost in PS.

  10. Gradient Problem with Photoshop

    I agree. I stopped making CMYK images a long time ago. Work in and save as RGB and let the rip to the math. you may also want to try adding a third step to your gradient. I bet your only uses two colors right? try added a third or fourth marker with an in between color to ease the transition...

  14. Anyone have an Online dryer installed on 540v

    Hi cinemasign.grafix just to make a case in favor of the online heater. If your not hurting for the cash, its a worth while investment. what mark said was true about profiling and settings but there is also a heaping time investment associated with that too. the online heater takes the...

  19. FlexiSign 7.6 and Eye candy 5 Impact

    to be honest in not really sure if you HAVE to have PS for them to work. I think it depends on the plugin set. some will ask you were your plugins folder is during install (not specifically PS). i guess in theory you could just create a folder on you machine a point it there. I know there are...
