jpgs suitable for for printing billboards to be viewed on a PC monitor or worse, phone screen. isn't it? I have similar complaints about people who send. 2 or 3 meg would have been plenty.īigger is ALWAYS better. Please explain the logic in that! Most of the picture was thrown away in the holes in the 1-way vision. I was sent a digital Illy file last week- 5 ft x 3 ft size, to be printed on 1-way vision- and the designer made the file 1.3GIG in size! some still manage to make a right hash of files, and do stupid things. I prefer Indesign, even, to Illustrator- but those two are somewhat similar in many aspects.Īs far as 'experts' go, well just because so many industry professionals use Illy, does not make them experts. I keep Illy to open stuff that Corel cannot handle, to then backwards-convert it so I can edit in Corel. Peter finally breaks the silence on the industry about what software is better for your sign shop. Illustrator is nothing like Photoshop- except in a mental snapshot of the desktop. All of your questions have been answered. (still have the whoppping 3 floppy discs it came on!)Ĭorel Draw is miles more intuitive. I've used Illy since version 5, when I had to, and Corel since version 2. helps that I don't have to do one speck of editing.(I'll post a pic of the engraving it Tim says it's okay) And I can probably cut that time down now that I've done it once ). Yesterday for an experiment I started Tim's job again from scratch- from the PDF to Corel-Paint (to remove splotch background) to Casmate (to vectorize) back to Corel (to export to DXF) to Ezcad to finished engraving- took less than 10 minutes, including the engraving time. Between the 3 programs I can *usually* make laser engraveable vector art out of almost any *reasonable* art within 10 minutes. Glad I never throw out all the old setup files )Īs for AI not opening Corel files, doesn't Corel's AI export work? None of my 3 graphics programs will open any of the other 2 but they'll ALL import and export DXF or EPS files. But the new version is 10% "Reader" and 90% advertising to buy Reader upgrades and other Adobe stuff. Up until my new version of Reader, I've always liked Adobe. I don't consider that free at all, so I guess I'll never know. free that is, IF I consider HAVING to sign up and giving yet another company the chance to overwhelm me with spam email from themselves and whomever else they give my email address to. Just to see if I am, I just now downloaded a 'free trial' version just to check out. It retains all the vector/photographic information when you resize the layer. However, the main difference is that the graphic type for Photoshop is raster-based, meaning that the program works with smart objects. I've run into AI users who flat out say that if you're using CD you're - stupid. In short, both Adobe Photoshop and CorelDRAW work with raster images and vector files.
