I just switch to this back in April after my old Mac Pro (at home) took a dump on me and I upgraded to a new iMac with Mavericks. Before that I was using the single app program that was costing me $20 a month, and that was ONLY for one application. I can't understand the pricing there but can't complain about cutting my monthly bill by half.

Man, Adobe must not be having a good year.

They're (Adobe) is in bed with Apple. I pretty much need to buy a new Mac to keep up.

That's why I'll only upgrade kicking and screaming.

oh great, guess there will be more designers doing ALL there work in Photoshop.

[Farabomb]

Don't most do that already?

Just because it has the type tool don't mean you should use it.

[pspdfppdfxhd]

yeah like a 48 page book on 48 layers, 200 dpi with about 50 different fonts used (not supplied), need a pdf proof in 2 hours, call the artist and they say: "I did it in Adobe! Wha'h happened?"

In the last month I've had 2 different designers say "the image is high res, why are you telling me it's low res?" After wrestling the natives from them it takes a minute to see it's placed over 100%. The best is one was placed at 256% and they had a larger version of the image used in another part of the piece that worked fine. Why didn't you use that one?

In the same piece they used a vector version of the logo on the cover and a jpeg in 4 other places. Same damn logo. I only notices because the jpeg was 4c black and the vector was 1c black.

Once a client came in and gave me a PowerPoint file to print. Not so bad you say?

Problem was, that instead of setting the text directly in PowerPoint, the "designer" has really done the layout of each page in Photoshop, then made a JPG of each file and inserted them into PowerPoint. He really couldn't understand why the text is all kinda blurry. He concluded that since all the layout was done in Photoshop, so his file cannot be the problem. Printed one set only (wanted like 20 or 30) and then walked out of the door to find a shop that has better skills and equipment.

Didn't see him for long by the way. I guess he's still busy with searching...

[Farabomb]

It's never the designer's fault. They are perfect.

The same job with the 256% image there were some other low res images. When I got the new file some were gone but they still looked like crap. I was told the "client" told the designer to change it to 300 dpi in PS.

I had a long talk to the client after all the issues. Explained how alchemy doesn't exist. After the talk I don't think I will be seeing files from this designer anymore.

Sorry guys, I didn't cull the herd. She's still out there and one of you will end up with her files. The good thing is she is very nice on the phone, bad thing is after the call nothing will change.

Is she from Taiwan? Feels like I somehow know her...

[Fontaholic]

I can't tell you how many times I've had to ask clients / designers for vector-based versions of logos, when all I've gotten are screen-resolution JPEG files...

I can't believe you all receive shit like this. Every file I get is pristine and perfect.
