Nothing really it seems...
Photoshop Has Gone Too Far (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hnvoz91k8hc#ws)

it's real, otherwise they couldn't print it...
oh nevermind
I just can say only one thing, that nothing is impossible in photoshop!
I can think of PLENTY of things you SHOULDN'T do with/in Photoshop...
Hopefully designers won't see that post and consider it a challenge.
Anything you can't do with Photoshop you can do in Publisher. Everybody knows that.
And when publisher doesn't work, MS paint.
I use Excel to fix all my MS Paint issues, then I resort to my main application, Word.
I make EPS files of all my quark docs, place those into word and hit print. Voila!
Designers THIS IS A JOKE not a challenge.
a joke?... damn and I thought you guys were all serious and shit. oh well, back to playin' solitare.

You disappoint me. I thought for sure you'd make JPEGs of your Quark docs, not EPS files.
old skool... eps is the wave of the future!!!
lovin' my new version of Freehand as well!
Don't mention Freehand. You know what'll happen. He's got his computer programmed to constantly scan the interwebs for any mention of it.
Just took a peek at a job a coworker prepped - supplied as Illustrator files. The only thing one really needs to do to it is adjust the artboards to the crop marks, then save as PDF from Illy. What does this tool do? He saves the Illy file as EPS, then places it into InDesign, then exports his PDF from there.
The Face Palm is strong with this one.

:strangle:
On the plus side he didn't go ILLY => JPEG => INDY => PDF.
I once dared a designer to do multiple pages in Photoshop.... got a PSD with 32 layers, each layer was a page. Darn crafty designers just can't be fooled.
And I'll bet they were proud of that.
Thanks, now he told his friends and we get the files. :strangle:
Yep, proud with a side of smug, when questioning my additional prepress charges.

Oh I'm pretty sure they actually teach this method at the local community college.
Seeing how widespread it is, you may be correct.
And I'm NOT making this up. The silly PSD was the better part of a gig. And the best part, the douchziner owned the Creative Suite, FFS! They fucking owned a copy of InDesign! I cannot imagine the amount of time spent, setting body text, making and combining 32 Photoshop docs into one giant layered booklet, vs setting up an Indy doc with styles, etc... It was some serious dedication to stupidity. I was almost in awe of it. Most are stupid and lazy, but this was some first-rate determined stupid... like mowing the lawn with scissors.

sounds like my wife when she wants to help with the painting... she wants to use a tiny .5" brush you would use to paint an oil painting with while she's looking at a 28 foot long wall that's 9 feet high... yeah, use that brush, I'll be over here taking a nap.

So much better quality that way.

She's painting in vector. :winner:
Sounds like a good way to get a quality nap, don't know why you're complaining David.
One of our clients also likes to use the one layer - one page method. The only difference is that she's using Illustrator instead of Photoshop, because Illustrator is all she knows (before she was used to Word and Excel, and as long as she doesn't want to send the file to the offset print shop, she will still give us Word files). Recently she took her shit to a new level, now every file contains two artboards, so each layer will be like a reader's spread. It's cool if you receive a file for a 168 page book from her. Luckily there are some plugins for Illustrator to help me do the work... Sh#$ on quality in her case.
Well, that's one I hadn't heard of before. At least she's out of Photoshop.
I've seen that bullshit before sadly. Not a huge book but a 4 page leaflet.
Any designer that creates printer spreads that isn't a printer needs to be shot. You have no idea how we are running it, please don't try and "help".
I had one discussion on monday with a firm that handles the art for a large automaker. They were going to send reader spreads but we requested single page, reader order. They were convinced there would be white lines where the pages meet, especially on the center spread. It took a lot of convincing that it's perfectly fine, there will be no white lines and even if they insisted and sent reader spreads I would be breaking them apart and will have to charge more for the prepress time.
Designers may have visited a printshop but have no idea what is actually going on.
do me a favor and don't do me any favors.... please!
The pizza video is effing hilarious.
I'll never look at a pizza the same way I used to now.
Sent it to a coworker, according to him, he'd eat it either way. :lmao:
That's cheesy! :rotf:
Kate Upton probably doesn't exist. It's probably just a plate of Lasagna.

mmmm pie....
you know Saturday is Pi Day (3.1415)

Saturday is also the boss's bday.
That's why I'll be out watching the hot club of cowtown instead of dealing with him.

I can't believe he's 75. How many other 75 yo's sell workout equipment? ok, Jack LaLanne maybe...
Chuck Norris can grill steaks ---------------- under water!
But hey, what so special about that? Spongebob Squarepants can do that, too.

Too late. I recently interviewed a job applicant who graduated with a Digital Media degree from a community college. Movies.
Nope, not a hallucination.

I can say it in different way, nothing is impossible in Photoshop!
I told you guys the designers would find this thread.
Photoshop = Photo manipulation only. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

I am doing image editing with photoshop its great for me.
Image editing is what Photoshop is meant for. The problem comes with people who think that it is also good for everything else.
Use it for image editing? What a crazy idea!
blasphemy!
