I was just wondering why everyone recommends putting Photoshop plugins in the filters folder instead of the Import-Export? Wouldn’t the Import-Export make more sense, I mean the name says it alone right? Is there any significant difference?

It’s just how the software works. Photoshop looks for certain files in certain locations.

I would like to find pictures of the shapes and the names of pasta. Does anyone know how to locate this? I keep finding individual ones, but I would like a complete set of this information. Thanks so much for your help.

I’m looking for some renders to make stuff like sigs with, and good sites.

http://www.gamerenders.com/forum/

Thats where I go for my renders. They have both normal and premo. You make have to sign up for premo tho. I’m signed up, names the same as here too.

For instance: I have a picture of the sky and I want to add balloons. I would either have to find a picture of a balloon with a white background, add it as another layer and filter the layer as ‘burn’ to make the white disappear. OR there could already exist a transparent image to add. What are those pictures called and where can I find them?

You may not be able to find one, but you can use your magic wand tool to select the balloons or what ever you want to keep on the layer, then invert your selection and hit delete, so the part you deleted will be transparent, but the balloons or w/e will still be there.

Suddenly my users are being prompted to update their Flash plugin in Internet Explorer. I know there is a new version but these users only connect to one in-house proprietary application and nothing else on the web. Our 3rd party vendor updated our proprietary application, so maybe they made a change to trigger this? Does a SWF file include a version requirement? How can I check this in a specific file?

Every time the Flash plugin is loaded in a web browser, it goes to the Adobe website silently in the background, and checks if a new version is available. If a new version has been released, the users will be prompted to update.

Usually these updates are security updates, so I’d advise users always keep up to date with the latest version.

A SWF file can also include a minimum version that it will run on but I don’t know of an easy way to check this, but the first is more likely.

Okay, so what is a really good photo editing program that is free?
If you know of one please let me know!
Thank you! ☻

there is Gimp but its not very user friendly, also there is Paint.net that is a lot easier to use. and of course adobe photoshop cs3 or cs4 but these will cost you.

I last purchased kitstar products in the early 80’s.
The camera filters were availible in square and round configurations. They resemble the coken filter line.

Kitstar is a trademark used by a company that markets camera accessories. It’s hard telling who manufactured said camera since Kitstar is basically just a marketer’s trade name. There’s not much info found on the net about Kitstar.

I’m an experienced freelance web designer and I’m going to start teaching web design at a small computer center. If I teach using Dreamweaver, I’m afraid the students will not bother to learn up HTML. But if I teach html and css coding with notepad, it seems to difficult or too tedious for beginners ?

Sometimes Dreamweaver will screw up – for example you make a selection in design view and it will grab part of a closing tag.

Because of this I like to work in split view. You should demonstrate this so they understand why it’s important to know the tags. Also demonstrate how copying text or code from a web page can lead to problems unless you paste into notepad first.

I have three background images on my web page; bg_top, bg_bottom, and bg_center. The bg_top and bg_bottom I want to stay on top and bottom of the bg_center, but if there is more content on the page that will fit on the background images, I want the bg_center to automatically repeat vertically, just enough times to fit the content onto the page. How would I do this???

All you need to do is insert the urls of the images, and change the pixel heights and widths.

A div will automatically expand to fit the text, and its background image will automatically repeat.

<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<style>
.outer {
width: 200px;
background-image: url("");
}
.top {
height: 20px;
background-image: url("")
}
.bottom {
height: 20px;
background-image: url("")
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="outer">
<div class="top"></div>
<div class="middle">
one two three four five
one two three four five
one two three four five
one two three four five
one two three four five

I’d like to go to the Academy of Art University in SF and there are 2 majors that I am interested in: graphic design and Computer Arts: New Media. I’d just like to know, what is the difference between the 2?

New Media, in this particular situation, will touch upon multiple disciplines such as web, print, motion graphics, photography, etc.

The School of Graphic Design is a comprehensive study of print and web design. If you know that this is what you want to do, then this is the way to go.
