  3. what happend to windows picture and fax viewer

    My wife's computer doesn't have Windows picture and fax viewer as a list of programs when she's wanting to view pictures. Windows Live Gallery shows as an option but for some reason it won't load her pictures. Any of you gurus able to tell me if it's something that can be loaded or found in...

  5. Corel Draw 12 crashing when importing a file

    Ok, enough of this. I'm working in Flexi, I'm starting to do designs for another sign shop that only has CorelDraw x3. I export the Flexi file as an .ai file and save to my desktop. I then try to import the .ai file into my version of CorelDraw 12 to send to the other shop. But when I try to...

  7. new photoshop

    Adobe just announced their latest release of photoshop. Can't believe Corel Photopaint is still bundled with CorelDraw at no extra charge and can do virtually the same. Of course Photoshop is Adobe's cash cow. I just wonder what other features can be added over the years, it seems there...
  8. forgot how crummy this logo looked

    Got a friend in London who sent me some Olympic hats and tshirts. Man, I forgot how ugly this logo looked. Would love to know what they paid for this piece of junk. I can hear it now if I had designed it " Your number 2s don't match!!!!!"
  9. Gerber Maxx and Odyssey plotters

    Looking thru some old sign magazines and came across ads for Gerber Odyssey plotters and Gerber Maxx printers. Odyssey claimed you couldn't load vinyl incorrectly, it would automotically correct any skewing. Maxx printer was supposed to be Gerber's venture into big thermal one piece...
  10. non LED pricing signs part 2

    I had a thread a few days ago about non LED gas pricing signs. A few of you had ideas of what I was describing, but basically it is rotating numbers in a cabinet with clear plex protecting the numbers. They are on a canopy about 30 feet in the air. I talked to a lady at our local Wal Mart...
  11. gas pricing signs (not LED)

    Anyone have a source for gas pricing signs with the changeable numbers, they cannot be LED, that would be in violation of our city sign code (don't even get me started on that) We have a Wal Mart that sells gas and their pricing sign is attached to their canopy, must be 24" plastic numbers on...
  12. ever heard of this guitarist?

    Since we had a posting yesterday about guitarists I want you guys to watch this. He's Rick Renstrom. (I won't tell you what makes him special, you'll have to watch the video.) Plays neoclassical stuff, now if that doesn't make you want to throw your guitfiddle in the creek I don't know what...

  14. We'll miss him, but he sure was good with a mouse!

    Just received my new SignCraft magazine, great as usual. Has a couple of articles about some old time sign guys passing away. Also a couple of how to articles using Photoshop. Got me to thinking, 25 years from now are we going to mourn the passing of a digital print master like we would...

  16. Photoshop and Photopaint basically equal?

    Friend of mine and I have a slight disagreement. Are the latest versions of Photoshop and CorelPhotopaint capable of doing the same things? He says no, go to any online jobs openings in graphic design and everything requires experience in Photoshop. I say that's because kids take graphics...
  17. Congrats to Joe Diaz

    Just got my copy of Signs of the Times. Congrats to Joe for winning the Corel Draw contest. I remember him mentioning this to the board a couple of weeks ago. If I only knew CoreDraw that well................................ Congratulations!! Enjoy your new printer.
  18. sending multiple pdfs in a single file

    I don't have Adobe Acrobat which I understand is designed to send multiple pdfs in a single file. Is there another program that can do this? I would rather not have to keep sending customers or others multiple pdfs that have to be opened individually. Or is there a trick when I'm scanning...
  19. What size vinyl mask would you use on this?

    Don't have time to post a pic but Google "Hamad from space" in Google images. Rich oil sheik had enough slave labor from Pakistan to dig a dadgum canal with his name that can be seen from outer space. Old Paint will probably say he could do this back in the 60s with a yardstick, some string...
  20. can illy users explain this to me

    So I get this file from a printer, an adobe illustrator file. It has as part of its logo a curved line, nothing fancy. Yet in illy it shows as straight segments on the final print (print size is 22" x 72"), there's no actual curve to it, just line segments about 3" long that make an eventual...
