AP check graphic design - R3 FCC 6.0

I need setup check layout for laser check printing in AP, how can I do it? Does SAP provide the import graphic for basic Laser Printer layout and we just need to edit a bit to fit on the check. We do not have Crystal report nor BW yet. I use canned reports in R3 only. Thanks,

Hi PPIO: I used FBL5N but all partial payment did not deduct from original invoice if you short of 0.01 cent, that is why I am trying other reports from SAP. How you retrieve data and create your customized reports in R3? We will implement BW in April 2012 but do we need any report tool to create our own reports?
Our internal SAP administrator told me the FBL5N can NOT display correct balance due that is can not do task. I can not believe it, Can you teach me why we got incorrect balance due and what caused the problem? Tks.

Which imac would work best for Graphic Design?

I am a Graphic Designer, currently using Creative Suite 2 (soon to be upgraded to CS3) and I need a new Mac for home. A Powermac takes up too much space, so I'm thinking about an imac with a 24" monitor and I have a few questions for the experts:)
Which imac would work best for graphics?
Is the monitor acurate for Pantone color matching?
Is the 24"monitor on the imac clear and bright?
Is Leopard a stable OS?
I also need an (inexpensive) color laser printer. Any suggestions?
Thanks a bunch!

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
The 24" iMac uses a superior LCD panel to the 20" model and so is certainly better suited to your purposes. I don't know how badly having a piece of glass in front of the display would affect you as a designer though.
The display certainly is clear and bright. I use it on it's lowest brightness setting.
Leopard is stable but it's worth checking that drivers for any devices that you currently rely on are available. For example I have to go back to my 10.4.11 iMac G4 to use my scanner. Personally I can't get iCal to alarm in Leopard but that's a fairly minor gripe.
As this is the forum for much older iMacs I'd suggest re-posting in the Intel iMac forum and even Mac OS 10.5 Printing forums for better informed opinion:

What is the best wide format printer to use for graphic design?

Hello all, I recently upgraded to a new iMac and am looking for the most suitable colour tabloid or super tabloid printer. I am willing to pay as much as $3000 and have read excellent reviews of the Phaser 7500, but the size and weight are too much for me in my home office. I would also consider inkjet models but want something crisp and clear for graphic design and have heard there are problems with compatibility with Snow Leopard and Lion. Am now considering the OKI C830 series. Any experience with this or recommendations? Many thanks!

Had 2 Phaser 7700's - excellent print quality - large footprint, overpriced and consumeables are expensive
Currently have a Konica Minolta Magicolor 7450 - print quality close to the Phasers, large footprint, good price, consumables much cheaper than the Phasers - Noisy, not great in a small office.
No FHE with the OKI but it looks like a nice machine. Best to find a dealer and check out print quality and if you have small space watch out for the fans humming it can get overwhelming intrusive.

New imac for graphic design?

Hello, I'm thinking about getting the new 24" imac to do some freelance graphic design. I'd like to get opions from other graphic designers or anyone else who is using cs3 about this model of mac. Are you happy with the screen and its performance?
Thanks

Here's my two cents....
I'm also a graphic designer and found that the 24" on occasion has been.....wait for it.....too big!
Funnily enough, I've just put mine up for sale in favour of a MacBook Pro...for portability more than anything but the screen was great for graphics, just not so great for anything else.
I would seriously consider checking out the 20-inch. Like I said, the 24" can be a little large for things like spreadsheets, and text documents. Even browsing the web can be a bit harsh on the eyes after a while, it is a real strain when your eyes get tired.
CS3 is perfectly adequate on a 20-inch, even CS2 which takes up more screen space effectively (thanks to CS3's new 'panels' as theyre called) is still a pleasure to work with.
After all, there's still plenty of stunning graphic design created on much less than 24"s of screen real estate!
The only time I would recommend the 24" having owned one for a year, is if somebody wanted it as a media centre, on the wall, filled with HD movies.
Just my opinion, but check out the 20", they should also have CS3 installed on the iMacs at your local Apple store, so you can see how it works on the 20 and the 24".
Hope that helps!

Which new MacBook Pro is best for a graphic design student?

Hi there, I was just wondering if anyone could give me some advice on which new MacBook Pro to get. I'm a graphic design student who would like to be able to use Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator at the same time, while also web browsing (I tend to have a million windows open). I won't be using the computer for any video work or heavy gaming.
Here's what I do know: I'd like the retina display, and I need the 8GB of memory (do I need more?). Other than that, I'm not too sure about what specifications I need. I'm not super knowledgeable about all of this, so apologies if these are very elementary questions. Any help would be much, much appreciated. Here are my main questions:
1. Would you recommend getting the quad core i7, or is i5 fine? For i5, do I need to pay attention to the difference between 2.4GHz and 2.6GHz?
2. What exactly is PCle-based flash storage, and would you recommend 256GB or 512GB?
3. What's the difference between Intel Iris Pro and Intel Iris?
Thanks so much!

1) Depending on which software you'll be using most of the times a quad core has more benefits (since it's more future proof). Not all software supports multiple cores (and thus rendering the extra cores of the quad "useless" if it's not supported).
2) PCI-e is what we use in desktops to attach for example a graphic card. Previous hard drives used a cable to connect it with the motherboard (in the old days we used IDE, now recent hardware uses SATA3). Basically because it's directly connected to your motherboard (there's more to it but to keep it simple) this will allow it to read and write faster from and to it. (Double the speeds of your regular SSD)
3) I reckon (haven't checked into it) that the base core speeds are clocked higher on the Iris Pro and probably has more dedicated ram to it.
What a graphical student wants would be most likely a quad core CPU with a dedicated graphics card. The extra is storage is nice if you reckon you'd need it. (I mostly work on cloud but keep my current projects on my drive because then I'd have faster access to it).

Best Printer For Graphic Design

We are looking to start printing and selling some of our graphic design works as prints similar to this - http://www.notonthehighstreet.com/placeinprint/product/brixton-academy-blueprint-art-print

Best monitor for beginning graphic designer?

I am starting out in graphic design. I have been doing a good amount of design for the web and a bit of print also. My laptop is just not cutting it for screen space and I would like to get a monitor that has decent color clarity, etc so that the colors I use will be as true to life as possible. I don't want to design something and have it come out a totally different color when I print it.
My price point isn't so great, I'm looking to spend about $300 at the most but preferably less. I will be using the monitor with a Macbook Pro & Dell Studio laptop. Does anyone have a good recommendation for a decent monitor to get within this range?
Thanks!

In that price range it's unlikely you get a monitor that works for all situations, especially since Macs and PCs use different Gamma and have other differences in their color rendering. Most cheap PC monitors simply don't work that well on Macs since they are obviously tweaked towards Windows. You would need to tweak them for Mac and if they don't allow to store different profiles, you may end up doing this over and over again. It's not hopeless, though. Even cheap monitors can be good. I'm using an Asus 27" which is amazingly close to a standard sRGB profile, so checking their product line in the 23"/24" might fit your budget.

Timesheet for Graphic Designer

Hello People
(please be gentle with me, I'm not very experienced with time-sheets etc).
I'm a graphic designer, been made redundant, and after struggling to find a job I'm going freelance but I'm really struggling to use Numbers to create a timesheet. I don't have Excel and don't particularly want to use it, partly sue to cost but also because I don't like it.
I know there are apps out there I could use, but all of those I've looked at either charge or don't do exactly what I need.
As I'm just starting out I need to monitor my workload, the time spent against the time i quote so I can refine things and get my estimating accurate and also make sure I then bill for all the hours I do (when it comes to an hourly rate).
I don't really know how to create spreadsheets using Excel with Formulas and rules etc. So a mate did it for me, but using that sheet in Numbers isn't transferring properly. So we are looking at starting afresh using Numbers but the trouble is neither of us know it well enough to create what I need.
First I need a time sheet, to keep a record of how much time i spend on a particular Job. I'll try to explain (stay with me please!)
To start off I need in my time-sheets the following columns;
Client, Job Number, Project Name, Details, Date, Day, Start Time, End Time, Duration, If it's Fixed Price, If its an Hourly Rate, What the hourly rate is, Total Hours, Price, Discount %, Final Price.
Within these Columns I need to be able to filter by date, by client or by job number - so I can easily check what hours Ive done on a particular job, or on a given day how many hours I've done or how many jobs I've done for a particular client.
As a result I will formulas on the timesheet the number of hours and minutes (down to ten minutes) for the duration, to calculate the price from the hourly rate, then the price after the discount and the final price.
However, some jobs may be a fixed price, and I may work on it for more than one day, Some Jobs may be an hourly price. So, if I put in the coloumn the fixed price each time/day I register time worked on it. It needs to see that that fixed price is for the job, not for that days work.
I would also like to be able to do a forecast sheet, so I can enter estimate details in, to see what I'm forecast to earn.
I would also then need a sheet which pulls in the info from the forecast to show the projected time taken earnings and also pulls in the information from the timesheet to show actual time taken and cost.
Is there any whizz out there that can help me on my way cos it has myself and my friend stumped and time is passing where I need to record my hours.

Hi iconboyip,
This will get you started.
E is formatted with as Date & Time, with no time displayed (by default, it will be midnight at the start of the day).
F and G are formatted as Date & Time with no date displayed.
Enter times with am or pm (or 24 hour clock) on the day you actually start and end. Otherwise, we have the "crossing midnight" problem feature .
H and I are formatted as Duration.
Enter breaks as 1h or 15m or 0.25h
Formula in I2 (and Fill Down)
=G2−F2−H2
To add up the hours spent on each job, another table with the SUMIF function
Formula in A2 of the Totals table (and Fill Down)
=SUMIF(Time Sheet::B,A2,Time Sheet::I)
Regards,
Ian.

Why do my graphics designed in photoshop look pixely when I place them in Indesign?

Why do my graphics designed in photoshop look pixely when I place them in Indesign?

Most likely the display performance setting. View > Display Performance > High Quality Display. If that doesn't solve it, the resolution of the image may be too low to use at the size you have it on the page. Check the Effective PPI in the info panel.

New Graphic Designer...Need help on iMac Purchase

Hi all.
I am an aspiring graphic designer who needs to purchase an iMac that will fulfill my needs. I have a limited budget, but I would rather spend the money now then have to spend more in the future. I would like to get some ideas on how much memory/ram I should get. Also, I want to hear about the 21inch screen vs. the 27 inch screen.
Primarily I will be using this computer for graphic designer purposes, so I will be using CS4 Indesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop. I will also be using the computer for downloading/playing music and movies. I do have an external hard drive but I think I should have a decent amount of memory installed on the desktop.
If anyone has any suggestions for me on what the best setup should be please let me know.
Thanks
-T

Your in luck! the iMac is perfect for CS4 and iTunes. 27-inch is perfect for HD video. And in CS4 the added screen realestate means increased performance. The display has a really great view angle, and sense it's LED back lit, the display is super bright/sharp.
The 17 comes with 1 TB of store and 4GB of ram. this is more then enough. if your working in very large files you may want to spend the 200 dollars to double your ram. that's huge bump for CS4. I would also suggested the 250 dollar upgrade to get double the storage space. 2 TB of space can be huge if you have a large movie collection. 150 dollars can get you double the video ram. If you like games this is a huge jump in performance. It will also help with things like layering in photoshop.
of corse you can always buy an external hard drive and more ram later, but your going to spend more of it. The Video card upgrade, 150, is some thing you can only do when buying the computer.
Sense your doing major work you may want to get a 2TB back up drive.
Also your talking about spending 2,149.00 on a computer. I assume your planning to hold onto the computer for at least a couple of years. Witch is why I would recommend Apple Care. It covers your computer for defect and natural wear. It's only 169 dollars.
If you had to replace one part, in 3 years, you would spend more then the apple care. Also Apple Care also get you 3 years of phone support. Normally it's 50 dollars a call. I don't know about you, but I have allot more then just 3 questions in 3 years. so it more then pays for it self.
You could also take advantage of the printer rebate. http://www.apple.com/promo/ when I bought my macbook pro having an up to date free printer was an amazing deal. It might be useful for your CS4 work. For quick scans and work prints.
You can also get 30% off mobile me. It's a great way to sync your contacts/calendars between your old and new computer. As well as an iphone, if you have one. I use mobile me to throw my PDF / Prints online. That way my clients can quickly check out and approve changes. I also use it to host my portfolio. Ones I had all my art in my computer, it took me like 20 minutes iWeb to publish my portfolio online using mobile me. It's been a great asset in self promotion; and it looks better then my friend website. And he payed some guy 800 dollar to make his website.
check out one to one. For a 100 dollars you can bring your computer into any apple store, and they will move your documents, desktop, iphoto, itunes over to your new computer.

Best Graphic Design Software

Hello. I recently purchased a MacBook Pro {love} and I would like to get a graphic design software to use for making custom photo birthday invitations/thank you cards (you know the ones they sell all over eBay for children's birthdays, etc.) I've been buying them for years and I'm tired of buying them when I know I could create them myself if I had the correct software. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance!

Hi there,
You do not need to buy at this first time, assuming you do not have graphic design experience you can start by using an Apple application as Pages, Keynote, iPhoto or others in your /Applications/ folder, check it out, try opening applications, read tutorials and welcome presentations or open a template file for some start edition.
After that you can try a freeware third party application, you will find many of that here: http://osx.iusethis.com/tag/graphics
Professional applications require a minimum specific knowledge that you would naturally acquire after sometime around with these others.
Before go on using third party apps would be smart to get one smart removal tool so that you'd be able to remove applications you do not like and related support files in one move, which would be better than having useless files remaining in your system. I use AppCleaner - http://www.freemacsoft.net/ - with it's SmartDelete Preference enabled, set it up if you will.
Despite most of Mac's applications only need to be copied to your HDD to be ready to run, they usually keep some support file maybe elsewhere the ~/Library and/or /Library/Application Support/ folders.
Good luck

RMBP 13" vs MBP 15" for graphic design major?

I'm going into an art school that requires a MacBook Pro, because my major is graphic design.
I'm also interested in studying animation and bit of architecture/drafting.
I'm told that a 15" MBP is recommended for graphic design students, because the larger screen will be more convenient when working.
My problem is that 1. it is a bit pricey and 2. it's too heavy to carry around campus and elsewhere all day.
I was also told that 13" rMBP would be better, because of the retina screen, portability and speed.
The problem is, does the retina screen work well with photoshop and other applications, and how would my work look on the regular MBP and vice versa?
And as for the optical drive, is the absence of it an issue?
Thanks for your time everyone, if you have any suggestions then I would love to read them!

I'm of the opinion if your in the 15" market and need a powerful machine, a Mac is the best choice as you get OS X along with it and the ability to do many things well, including running Windows and virtual machines, thus having the best of everything and plenty of options.
Anything below the 15" MacBook Pro you can get for a fraction of the price for performance on the "other" platform if all one is going to do is basic junk.
Despite the "Pro" name, the 13" doesn't have the extra dedicated graphics processor (nor four cores) like the 15" has. You'll need it to play most all 3D games or rendering 3D fast. Some developers have tried to work with the Intel HD graphics for 3D games and the results have been terrible as it's so underpowered compared to the dedicated graphics.
You'll need to check with MathLab for the minimal hardware specifications.
8GB of RAM isn't going to make much of a performance difference, just run some things a bit faster, able to run more things at the same time.
128GB SSD is a joke, you'll burn that up in no time and be on external drives a lot. Most people need 500-1TB of on board storage space now.
Really sorry you bought such a under performing machine for your needs, perhaps if you asked here first you would have gotten a better assesment and advice.
You purchased based upon price and weight, which doesn't jive with the performance you require.
The 13" is a cramped little screen with annoying reflections that will spend more time on your chest than on your lap or desk.

2013 MacBook Air for graphic design?

I've been looking at the new 2013 13-inch MacBook Air for quite some time now. I'm a graphic designer, so I'll be looking to use Adobe CS6 (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Acrobat) and Aperture. Also of course, the general things such as Safari, Mail and iPhoto.
I have the new 27-inch iMac at home, which serves as my main machine. 3.2GHz quad-core Intel Core i5, Turbo Boost up to 3.6 GHz, 32GB RAM (8GB at the moment - upgrading soon), 1TB hard drive, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675MX with 1GB. I love it!
I absoloutely love the MacBook Air - it's a lovely design, so lightweight and the new 12 hour battery life is just epic!
If I were to get the MacBook Air, I would definite upgrade to these specs;
- 1.7GHz dual core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.3GHz (although I'm told the i7 will drain battery quicker, and isn't much faster?)
- 8GB RAM
- 128GB Flash Storage (or possibly 256GB - bare in mind, I have a 1TB external hard drive).
So I guess the big question is... Will the new 2013 13-inch MacBook Air, with these specs, be sufficient for my needs?
Thanks in advance!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The problem of the MacBook Air is the GPU, and Adobe apps don't support the GPU of your MacBook officially because it's an integrated GPU.
Sincerely, if you want to use that type of applications, the only valid Mac is the 15-inch MacBook Pro. It includes a quad-core processor, 4 GB of RAM (with the possibility to add up to 16 GB), a 500 GB HDD (with possibilities for bigger HDDs and SSDs) and a NVIDIA GPU which will work with your applications without any problem. Also, you can modify the RAM and hard drive without voiding the warranty.
If you want to give the MacBook Air a try, buy it and see if your applications work properly. You have 14 days to return it if it doesn't work as you expected, but to be sure, go for the 15-inch MacBook Pro. The MacBook Air is designed for home tasks

Need Help Building a Graphic Design/Video Editing PC

Greetings everybody, my name is David, and I'm hoping to get a little assistance building a computer system either from scratch or from a couple of computers I have picked out.
I hope this that doesn't sound unrealistic but I only have around $600 in my budget to build a Graphic Designer machine. My intentions are to get a subscription to Adobe cloud so I would have access to all of Adobe CS6 products. (I won’t be using any of the Touch or Game developers applications.)
I would like to post two links to two machines that I picked out that are in my price range and would like some advice as to whether or not either one of these machines have enough processing power to be able to handle all Adobe CS 6 products.
I am aware that neither one of these machines have a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) and that I would have to purchase one and add it. Which leads me to my first question; are the processors on either one of these machines capable of handling a GPU that is on the Adobe recommended list for processors?
And secondly, if I were to build a machine from scratch, is $600 enough to build a machine that is capable of handling Adobe CS6 products? When building a machine from scratch can you tell me what the minimum requirements are for a motherboard? Or are there any sites that offer specific advise for building PC's for graphic design?
I noticed after looking through the list of recommended graphics processing units that the majority of those are very expensive, in the $500-$3000 range. Can you please recommend a graphics processing unit that is in the $200-$300 range that would be fully adequate to handle Adobe products? Also what things do I need to take into consideration when building the machine from scratch to ensure that all my hardware is capable of handling Adobe CS6 products.
What do I need to add to either one of these prebuilt computers to make them Adobe-ready, If they are in fact worthy at all?
Here are the links for two machines that I have picked out:
http://www.costco.com/HP-Pavilion-p6t-Desktop%2c-Intel%C2%AE-Core%E2%8 4%A2-i3-2130-3.4GHz.product.100010197.html
http://www.costco.com/ZT-Desktop%2c-Intel%C2%AE-Core%E2%84%A2-i5-3470- 3.2GHz.product.100027436.html
I do realize that neither one of these machines have a graphics card in them. Can you tell by looking at the specifications on either one of these machines, whether or not your typical graphics card would fit inside the case If they are indeed worthy in all other respects?
And I realize that I mentioned that I only had $600 to spend, however if either one of these prebuilt machines are powerful enough in all other respects, I don't have an issue waiting a month or two before buying the graphics card and installing a little bit later.
Thank you in advance for your input.
Sincerely,
David

Your HP Costco link results in an out of stock message
Your ZT Costco link is very likely NOT expandable due to the VERY small power supply... so you will likely NOT be able to add a video card later
For PPro video editing you want an nVidia graphics adapter http://www.pacifier.com/~jtsmith/GPU.HTM and even the low power nVidia may be too much for that computer
Also, for video editing, you need a MINIMUM of 2 hard drives... and trying to edit HiDef video with an i5 will be a study of waiting for things to happen
As Harm said... a $600 computer will work for everything EXCEPT video editing
This DIY list is just about twice your budget, but it will work for video editing

I've got a MacBook pro 15' running 10.6.6. I want to use an external monitor for my graphic design work running Adobe software and thought I'd try an HD TV. I ran a Mini Display to HDMI lead to the TV but the picture quality was disappointing.

I've got a MacBook Pro 15' running 10.6.6. I want to use an external monitor for my graphic design work using Adobe software and thought I'd try an HD TV. I ran a Mini Display to HDMI lead to the TV but the picture quality was disappointing. I also tried a Mini Display to VGA lead and that wasn't much better. I tried all variations of resolutions in System prefs - Displays but nothing helped. Am I getting something wrong? Thanks all.

In addition to pixel density, you are up against the translation driver card in the TV.
If you read the fine print of computer-resolution-capability in the TV user guide, you will see a chart as tall as the manual page. At the top is the smallest resolution capable, at the bottom is the full use of the 1080p in the TV.
Mac falls into the top 25% of the page, maxing out at 1366x768 often. This is because the TV control card is expected to do too much of the work, but is not designed for computer-monitor processing.
I looked at the resolution charts on 2 TVs before deciding to buy a 1080p LCD monitor that has a TV interface/connector. Computer monitor first, TV second. But the thing is only 27 in. Good thing TV is not as important to me as it is to others.
