- adobe tutorials through the university:
http://www.udel.edu/learn/usered/webtutorials.html
- copy and pasting can change color profiles in images
- adobe bridge: allows you to set your creative suite color profile
-synchronizing with your printer = consistent printing
- working RGB, or Adobe RGB are generic and will give you better results with different printers
- window>view>color profile
- illustrator gives an option to change how you view the blacks
- preferences>appearance of black>display all blacks accurately and output all blacks accurately
- duo tones: for a richer greyscale image, imagemode>duotone, change monotone to duotone, add a middle grey for second color
- when printing in illustrator, you can tile your image so that you can print a larger images on multiple pieces of paper
- image>adjust>curves: can lighten the images for ex.photos taken inside, etc. ajusts all the channels at once, better than brightness/contrast.
- select>select color
- right top of layer palette, layer options, you can change the layers to show more closely what's on them
- you should always title layers so others helping/working with you can navigate your document
-auto select makes it so you dont have to highlight a layer to move something,
or to find something do a free transform, it will be the only thing that will move
- layer>new adjustment layer: will effect anything below the adjustment layer, but makes it possible to remove the effect later in the work
- painting black on that layer will block that portion of the layer from the effect
- SAVE YOUR DOCUMENT.... it's going to crash
- "Garage Band, YEAH!... no."
- right clicking on a transform tool will take you from one transform too to another
