When you produce a document in InDesign with printer spreads and have objects that spread across two pages, make sure you DON"T use the Create a New Document feature because it will surprise you at printing. Just preview your document and use the print button. The only constraint is that you won't have much control over cropping marks.

Show Options When Placing
When you place content into your layout, click the Show Import
Options checkbox to intercept a file and perform certain functions,
such as stripping formatting from a Word file. You can access the
Import Options dialog by holding the Shift key when you click on
the Place button in the Place dialog box

Ever got frustrated by trying to break the link between two threaded text boxes in indesign? The only option you had was to delete the link between the two and then cut whatever hidden text and paste it in the other box.
With the break frame script you can do all of this in just one click. Simply save the attached file to your scripts folder under presets in the main InDesign folder and use it when you need it. A very, very cool plug in.
Enjoy.

Macworld reports that Apple's recent Mac OS 10.4.8 update has boosted the speed of Photoshop CS2 by 34-36% on some Intel-based Macs. Photoshop CS2 is not yet a universal binary application, meaning it must run under the Rosetta emulation mode on Intel-based Macs.
With the previous version of the Mac OS, 10.4.7, Photoshop CS2 ran Macworld's testing suite significantly sl ower on Intel-based Macs than it did on comparable Power PC-based Macs. But OS 10.4.8 has brought Intel-based Mac Photoshop performance within easy shouting distance of Power PC speeds, according to Macworld's tests. Speeds increased by 36% for the Mac Pro Quad Xeon/2.66GHz and by 34% for the 15-inch MacBook Pro Core Duo/2.16GHz.
Microsoft Word, which also is not yet a universal binary application, is also faster with OS 10.4.8, but the speed increase is more modest -- 3-12% depending on the specific Mac model tested.

Type-size Shortcuts
To change type size and leading incrementally, start by
setting increment size (Preferences > Units & Increments).
In your document, use Shift-Command/Ctrl- < to decrease
the point size of selected type by one increment, and
Shift-Command/Ctrl- > to increase the point size. Add the
Option/Alt key to these combinations to multiply the
increment by five. You can change leading via
Option/Alt-Up and Option/Alt-Down arrow key combinations.

the increment by five

Have you ever received an e-mail saying that you are eligible to receive a
tax refund or that you qualify for a $ 200,000 mortgage without even
applying for it? Also, in this type of e-mail you would be asked to login to
your bank account or give your credit card number. This practice is called
“phishing” and we are not talking about 13 lb salmon here.
"Phishing" is when online crooks send out emails attempting to fool you
into sharing personal information like passwords or credit card numbers. Why
do they call it phishing? Because these people are hoping to "fish out"
your personal information. These people pretend to be from an organization
or company that you trust. It can be from the bank you have an account with
or the online store that you shop from time to time.
They normally use scare tactics, and will tell you that your account has
been suspended or that your credit card was fraudulently used. Do not
believe it, even though it looks real. Your bank would never ask you to send
them your personal information by e-mail. If you have any concerns it’s
better to call your bank and ask.
Simple rules to follow:
If you receive a suspicious message delete the email and don't reply.
Protect your computer by installing an anti-spam software.
Never give out your personal information via e-mail. Even if it was an
e-mail from your friend, confirm first.
Review your credit card statements.

Kosuke Ikeda is his name and graphic art is his game. These are my five favourites. I originally ran across these beautiful pieces of art in July when a co-worker was looking at some art galleries online. It was the tree drawing that caught my eye as I was walking by Nathan's computer, so I asked him to email me the link.
