so glad that this is useful.
we'd pr...hiya! <br /><br />so glad that this is useful. <br /><br />we'd prefer vector files! & yes, if it's gotta be raster, .tiff would be best.<br /><br />transparency... okay. say you have a circle with a diameter of 4". the image is going to have to be at least 4" x 4". if the file type doesn't allow for transparency, you're going to have to have a white (or some other colour) background for the four corners of the image that the circle leaves bare. we then need to delete the background before placing the image in our layout. <br /><br />if the file type *does* allow for transparency, you don't need to have a background at all. you can just have the circle in the middle of the image and leave the rest transparent. this means we can just pop your file into the layout. <br /><br />TIFF files are also useful for layout if you want your text to follow the curve of the circle -- the "path" of the object. <br /><br />does that make sense? i can show you on the computer, too!akbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03582481715998685598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1524516935751931777.post-39865157589742600912009-10-06T10:21:24.031-07:002009-10-06T10:21:24.031-07:00AKB - This is great. Like Chris said, so helpful....AKB - This is great. Like Chris said, so helpful. I'm going to contact some comic book drawers from home and won't feel so inept when it comes time to talk of file transfers, bluebells, cockleshells, and other techie things. <br /><br />A couple questions, though:<br />--> What types of files would your team prefer? Raster or Vector? If It's raster, is the .TIFF file best since you mentioned it's good for print?<br />--> You mention transparency in the .GIFF, .TIFF, .JPEG - what does transparency mean in this context? Maybe it's not necessary that I know...<br /><br />Again, Thanks!Natalie Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13695945895822605694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1524516935751931777.post-73979365776331239412009-10-05T17:55:36.187-07:002009-10-05T17:55:36.187-07:00dude, this is so helpful! i just busted a .jpg!dude, this is so helpful! i just busted a .jpg!Trekkie Sexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05384407620648527890noreply@blogger.com
