Learnin' new systems is weird. You seem to plateau out just when you think you're getting the hang of it. Then a week or two later, fog seems to lift... "The Inner Game of Prepress". Off to write the book now.    :walker:

Oh yeah, and when you're old, like me; just extend that timeline... by quite a bit.    :laugh:

Then there are times wen you are playing with a system you think you know and stumble across a new function. I've been using Preps 5 for over 6 years now and I'm still finding new ways to do things and tweak things.

"The inner game of prepress" has a lot to do with never stop learning. See, even the old dogs can learn new tricks. :wink:

I'd rather have stories told than be telling stories of what I could have done.

And I just realised I mixed metaphors above. Cardinal sin in creative writing. Youston!

Meh ... a bird in the hand, a half-dozen of the other.

"People who live in glass houses shouldn't look a gift horse is a penny earned." That's how my ancient grandma told me it went.

You probably knew her, tapd. I think she graduated from the one-room schoolhouse a couple of years after you.

Did you do the Kodak online training? Or something else? Can you recommend the one you used?

I've not had any preps 6 training of any kind and I don't recommend anyone going down that road.

Anyone know if there is much of a learning curve from Preps 4 to 5?

"There's been a lot of research recently on how hard it is to dislodge an impression once it's been implanted in someone's mind. (This is why political attack ads don't have to be true to be effective. The other side can point out their inaccuracies, but the voter's mind privileges the memory of the original accusation, which was juicier than any counterargument ever could be.)"
