Color separation generally means using the CMYK color mode which is only available in the full Photoshop CS, not in Elements (RGB mode).

Learning about 3D Maths for 3D graphics

Hello everybody,
I'd like to learn about 3D Maths so that I can learn about 3D graphics programming. I've been searching around the Internet for guides and have found some. I've learned a bit from what I've found on the net such as matrix arithmetic and vectors etc. These two things are apparently key to 3D graphics. Thus far however I've been unable to put all this stuff together in order to create something as simple as, say, a 3D rotating wire frame box (that old chestnut). Does anybody here have any good links to websites which may set me in the right direction regarding 3D graphics/Maths? I'll be very grateful for any help. Thanks a lot.
--Richard.

Ah, back in the day when real programmers coded protected mode managers and 3D engines. And we liked it that way! Or course, we were still too wussy to walk uphill in the snow. That was for old geezers. :P
My favorite 3D tut was the one by KiwiDog, last spotted at Raven software. Check it out here:
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Park/9784/dntut.zip
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Get a copy of "Tricks of the Game Programming Gurus" if you can find it. That book contains practically every formula you'd ever need for 2D and 3D work. Plus, it's fun to read. :-)
Does anyone else think we should start a petition to either have the book reprinted or released into public domain?

Does Anyone Know About Color Change For iPhone 4?

i Cracked my scree, well shattered it, but im going to the apple store soono, and i was wondering if anyone could tell me since im paying $200 for another one, if i could get them to swap the color from black to white? anyone know? i mean i am paying for it, so why not? Anyone let me know whether you work there or have done this before.

Out of warranty exchange is for same model, capacity, and color.
It would not hurt to ask, but it is unlikely they will offer a different color.

Converting print Ad to 256 color jpg for ATM Screen

Got specs for converting a print ad to jpg for ATM: 800wx600h; 72dpi; 256 colors. As far as I know, the only way to get 256 colors is to convert to index. When I do, the halftones get slightly grainy. Also, I can only save the file as .psd, not .jpg as required. Any advice on how to convert my file to 72 dpi jpg with 256 colors appreciated. Thanks.

Maybe after using index color to get the 256 colors, then convert back to RGB Color and save as a jpeg.

Color separation when exporting a PDF

It's been driving me nuts, ADOBE seems to have forgotten about color separation when using the export to PDF method. Even quark has this option.
Anyway I was hoping to know if there is a way that I don't know.
Cheers

You’re asking for fairly archaic things here.
You can put in a feature request but you’d need to explain how this would benefit the entire user base and IMO you’re going to have a rough time doing so.
Bob, it might be archaic, but it's still used a lot in the publishing world.
in the book world, the new trend is for firms to do books in a co-edition format. The idea is to have one firm do all the work (normally in english). But then other firms from other countries and other languages will simply send a PDF of the text ONLY without the colors (cmyk). So when I export the PDF I only need ONE color. I do not wish to export the whole CMYK.
Do you understand where I am getting from.
So in simplified terms. The printer has 4 plates for the colours of the book and will simply change a 5th plate to the desired language.
5000 copies
CMYK plates
5th plate: german text
10 000 copies
French
exactly the same CMYK plates as german
5th plate: switch to the french plate
50 000 copies
English
exactly the same CMYK plates as german
5th plate: switch to the english plate
and so on....
The cost is greatly reduced for everyone, but we need an option to export the TEXT only.
You will simply say, but have the text in a separate layer. That is true, but in reality, it's not all the files that are built like that and most graphic designers will have the text on a separate spot color instead of a separate layer. Unfortunately when I receive the file it's too late to do the changes.
I hope I make sense, english is not my first language.

Color Separations

Hi there,
I know this topic has been visited several times by others but I am having a hard time finding them through the forum searches.
I am trying to print color separations for screen print through cs5 (previously I was using cs2) I have Acrobat 9 (it came with the premium design pack) and I cannot get the print pdf option to appear in the print dialogue box from illustrator. I need a multipage color separation document for my work. I am on a deadline and any help would be great. I am on a Macintosh O.S 10.6.4
Thanks in advance for any help.

Also if you could tell me how to splice out the colors in acrobat I would still really appreciate it.
thanks!

You can still do it the old way but there is a little trick to it. Instead of using Acrobat as the Printer fro the drop down select Adobe Postscript as the printer and use generic post script printer as the profile.
Then Host Based Separation will do find save it to a director.
Now Distill the .ps and you'l end up with your separated pdf.

Color Separation Preview in Illustrator CS3

I'm sorry...I may be missing something, but can I preview color separations on the screen before printing them out in Illustroator CS3

You can open your AI file in Acrobat and use its very robust separation preview features. Acrobat can even highlight overprints, rich blacks, and areas that are above user specified ink limits.

Color Separations in InDesign and Illustrator

I am trying to print spot color separations. In both InDesign and Illustrator the "separations" is gray. I can only print RGB and grayscale.
My colors are set up as spot. I even tried to print from Acrobat and "separations" is gray there also. Do I need to re-install my drivers or the programs.
I am trying to print to postscript printers but neither one lets me select separations.
I am using CS3
Microsoft Windows XP
Professional
Version 2002
Service Pack 2
Intel(R) Core (TM)2CPU
6600 @ 2.40 GHz
2.93 GB RAM
Thanks in advance for your help.

I’m not familiar with those models. Are the PostSCript compatible? If so, then you should get the most recent drivers from the manufacturers’ websites. It’s been ages since I needed to worry about printer drivers in Windows, but maybe you need a PostScript printer utility or printer driver from Adobe, too.

What shows in color separations is not what prints

I have a document originally created in InDesign CS3 with text in a 100%K black, not rich black. When printed directly from InDesign, text prints with only black ink.
When I export to PDF, with black settings to output accurately (not rich black), the Acrobat 8 Professional color separations only show this text on the black separation, as is to be expected. However, when printed, the text is rich black with all CMYK ink tones present.
I am printing to a Konica 7830dxn PostScript printer, but since the document prints fine to this printer directly from InDesign, I don't see it as causing the problem.
What is going on? Other users have also had issues with this coming from InDesign, but I'm pretty sure it's an Acrobat problem, not an InDesign problem. I'm quite open to being proven wrong, of course.

Well, I've tried just about all the options available. The printer driver gives me five options for color management - I've tried "Konica Color Matching," "PostScript Color Matching," and "No Color Matching," to no avail.
"Print in Grayscale" wouldn't work for the color images in my document, and it won't let me pick "Use ICC Profile."
I don't understand why it changes when it goes to Acrobat. Printing from InDesign with the default "Konica Color Matching" works fine. I'm stuck.

I have a new iPhone 5S. While trying to learn about it, I accidentally recorded a voice memo with no content. I cannot now figure out how to get rid of it. There is a banner across the top of my phone with this memo which I don't want. Help!

I have a new iPhone 5S. While trying to learn about it, I accidentally recorded a voice memo with no content. I cannot now figure out how to get rid of it. There is a banner across the top of my phone with this memo which I don't want. I have deleted it from iTunes but cannot get it off the phone. Help!

The banner usually indicates that the memo is "Paused." If you go back into voice memos, touch the word "Done" beside the big red pause button, give it a name, then it will show in a list. Touch the memo in the list then touch the trash can icon that should appear.

Network storage drive...where can I learn about these?

I have so many questions, and frankly, the answers I've seen looking (briefly, admittedly) around these threads scare me. Gee, Wally, what ever happened to Apple as the computer you didn't have to know computer programming to use?
Now, before you all get your panties in a bunch telling me that I'm responsible for knowing how to use my hardware, I know...and I do want to know.
So what I want to know now is how can I learn about the various types of "shares", and what they mean for hooking up a network drive for backup, etc.
I have a WD 1TB drive which I believe uses "SMB", whatever that is. It's got two folders on it currently, "Public" which I can access, and "WD Backup", which I can't. I also can't seem to use it as a Time Machine drive, which is what I want to do with it. And, or course, I can't re-format it, which I'd love to do as my wife hates the folder designations on it, and would like to have one folder called "iMac Backup" on it.
Answers which don't involve Terminal will get extra points, but I've dealt with Terminal before, so take your best shot. And ask for clarification if you need it. Thanks.

Unfortunately, networking and file-sharing aren't quite so simple in part because there's decades of history and dozens of companies involved in getting it into the current state. If you want dead-simple, you can get an Apple Time Capsule or AirPort with an external drive and be done with it. However, if you really want the most from network storage, you'll probably want to read up...
WD make a number of drive, some network-attached, some not. We'll assume that you have one of their basic consumer network-attached drives.
"SMB" stands for "Server Message Block" protocol and it was the local area network file-sharing protocol developed for Windows for Workgroups circa 1992 (it was later renamed CIFS - Common Internet File System - by Microsoft in 1996 because of the rising popularity of the Internet, despite the difficulty in getting it to work in anything but a small local network). SMB/CIFS is still widely used today for Microsoft Windows networks, though much of the equipment that serves those files are built on Linux or FreeBSD and not Windows.
Access to shares on an SMB server (such as your hard disk) is controlled through a configuration utility provided with the drive or via a web application built into the device (that you access through your browser). Consult your manual. Generally speaking, however, SMB servers offer different ways of identifying whether or not you can access a share: 1) based on the computer connecting (in which case, everyone is considered the same user), or 2) based on a username/password combo. Generally a server will only operate in one mode. Shared directories can also allow or deny "guest" access (access without a password). All of this should be configurable through the drive utility or web application which you access with your web browser. Generally, an SMB server can only operate in one mode.
It sounds like the Public directory is configured to allow guest access, and I'm guessing that "WD Backup" is a share that's password-protected and intended to be used with Western-Digital's own software of the same name. You should be able to add and create new directories as necessary through the provided utility or the web interface.
You are correct, you cannot use Time Machine with an SMB file-sharing service. Time Machine will require AFP (Apple Filing Protocol) or NFS (Network File System) support. Western-Digital only has 3 network drives that support AFP and Time Machine: My Book Live, MyBook World, and WD ShareSpace. OS X also has some basic requirements about the performance and capabilities of network storage in order to use it with Time Machine, so you really want to look for drives that state up front that you can use Time Machine with them (for example, WD World Edition: http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/updates/docs/en/appletimemachine.pdf )
I'm not sure why you can't reformat the drive. This is supported on all WD products (though, if you've moved a bunch of data to it already, perhaps it would be a hassle).
You can do backups of your Mac over SMB, but it's complicated by the fact that SMB is quite old and isn't capable of storing information about the file permissions, ownership, etc. It will be reliable for data files, but not for applications, etc. There's a work-around, of course. You can create a disk image on the SMB share using Disk Utility (make sure you create an HFS+ image) and backup to that. If you go that route, I would suggest either Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper to perform your backups. They are true backup tools, not versioning tools like Time Machine.

Where can i learn about Boot Camp

to all
i would like to learn about boot camp and the risks of puttiong windows on my mac. some things i just need on windows.
where can i read about it before i start to post dumb questions about virus software and the risk of virus, as i'm sure its been addressed somewhere..

thanks for the reply The Hatter... but its not a case of not leaving my comfort zone, but getting the full facts first for what i want to do. I;m quite good at leaving my comfort zone thank you..
currently trying to build a server at home with little experience
teaching myself HTML and Javascript and writing 5 websites on the fly
among many other things.. i just need to find out more about what i am doing before i do it so i understand what i am doing, and whether its the best use of my time.
my laptop most certainly doesn't sit on a shelf. its been around the world, to far flung corners of jungles, remote islands in Thailand and never leaves my side. Its on al day working and on all night processing. infact it almost drowned with me when i was caught in a violent storm going between islands in Thailand. Naturally i put the laptop somewhere safe before saving myself from going overboard.

I cannot get photos placed in InDesign CS5 to show up only as grayscale/black. When a separation is done, part of the photos show up on both parts of the color separation. I've been hunting for a solution for hours.

ALSO, on the iPod under Settings>General>iTunes Sync, you may need to back out of the "iTunes Wi-fi Sync," and reopen it to get it to update.
