Learning how to do books/journals

I regularly use CS2 (OS 10.5) for making magazines and booklets - lots of photos, very short articles, few pages. I have the opportunity to do a full-fledged academic journal - text & tables, a long document, footnotes, bibliographies, etc.
Does anyone have any tips about working on books or journals? Any recommendations for courses (ElementK?), books, or good websites about the subject?
Thanks in advance for any recommended resources.

This was asked a few weeks ago. Search the forum for "long documents" or "workflow" or "books".
Here's one:

I can't remember the thread title but it was recent.

    Good day!
    This is a user to user Forum, so you are not really addressing Adobe here, even though some Adobe employees thankfully have been dropping by. (edit: Actually they are more likely to frequent the regular Photoshop Forum.)

  • Hello, i am new to the mac and i need to learn how to re image using an external hard drive

    Hello, i am new, like baby fresh new,...lol, to the mac and i need to learn how to re-image using an external hard drive.

    How to replace or upgrade a drive in a laptop
    Step One: Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Step Two: Remove the old drive and install the new drive.  Place the old drive in an external USB enclosure.  You can buy one at OWC who is also a good vendor for drives.
    Step Three: Boot from the external drive.  Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears.  Select the icon for the external drive then click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Step Four: New Hard Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your new hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID  then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    Step Five: Clone the old drive to the new drive
    1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the new internal drive. Source means the old external drive.
    Step Six: Open the Startup Disk preferences and select the new internal volume.  Click on the Restart button.  You should boot from the new drive.  Eject the external drive and disconnect it from the computer.

  • Need to learn how to create a slideshow in Flash

    Hello All,
    I'm new to Flash and I need to learn how to do a slideshow with exactly the same features as can be found in this link:
    http://www.esppromo.com/index.asp
    Just like at the link above, it needs to play through the slides automatically once the page is loaded, each slide needs to link to a specific URL, and I need controls similar to the boxes at the bottom so the viewer can click on any specific slide they wish to view (I'd like to have numbers in the boxes though). The transitions don't have to slide across like this. If a fade is easier, that would be fine.
    Since I've looked online, but can't find any tutorials for doing this in Flash Professional, I think I'll pick up a book on Flash. There are some online tutorials that are close but nothing that is exactly what I'm looking for.
    I'm just wondering if anyone can recommend a particular book that covers creating this type of slide show with the links and controls exactly as I need it to be. I see these types of slide shows on a lot of sites now, so I'm hoping that maybe someone else on this forum has had to learn how to do this and can recommend a book they used?
    I was looking at Adobe Flash Professional CS5 Classroom in a Book and it looked like it may be what I'm after, but I am rather cautious, as I don't want to end up with instructions that are close to what I am looking for, but not quite right.
    Actually, I thought I'd be able to do this fairly easily with Flash Catalyst, so I updated to Adobe CS5 Design Premium. I found that Flash Catalyst can be used to create a slide show like this, but unfortunately it won't play automatically when the page loads and the viewer has to manually click through the slides, which is not what I need. I could be wrong, but from what I've read, I need Flash Builder to add code so the slide show will play automatically if I create it in Flash Catalyst. Since it's not an option for me to buy more software at this time, I've decided to learn how to do this in Flash Professional.
    I really want to learn how to do this. I expect to go on and create more using Flash, but for now I just REALLY need to figure this slide show out.
    If anyone can help out, I'd really appreciate it!
    Thanks,
    William

    Edit:
    i'm sorry. it is a huge work to type this and will be confusing as hell. i'm already up to 1 full word page of explanation. Though i am able to do it, explaning it in full lengh is ... well.. very hard. Way harder than it is to make your flash itself.
    I can however point you to some element you should read about how to make them:
    - How to use timeline in flash cs4
    - how to create a button in flash cs4
    - How to make "CLASSIC TWEEN" in flash cs4
    - How to use ActionScript 2 ( AS2) basic command like : GetUrl, Gotoandplay, Stop and how to put those script in the right location. ( AS2 allow you to put script directly on the button itself. however it is best to put it in the Action Layer that you will have to build in the timeline.
    - How to import thing in library.
    keep in mind that what you want to make is mostly a Logic probleme...
    - Image 1 click = GetURL X,
    - After Y time, Switch image 1 to image 2 with animation. Do the same for the button.
    - If you click on button 1 while being on image 3, you have to set all the reverse animation in the timeline, and use a lot of Gotoandplay.
    Hope this help you a little.
    I'm sorry. i really wanted to help you do it, but it is just a monstruous job to write all this.

  • Learning how to sync music audio to lip movements

    I just acquired Final Cut Studio 2 a week ago and I'm looking to eventually get into shooting music videos once I get the basics down. Anyway, I was wondering if there was an online tutorial available or a book that I could purchase that deals with syncing audio to video lip movement. In particular, I'd like to shoot those old-school style Yo! MTV Raps videos where the artist lip syncs to their song while "performing" various scenes. Learning how to edit in FCP6 so that my pre-recorded audio syncs to the lip movement is what I'd like to learn.
    Would anyone have any ideas on where I could go to learn this stuff?

    The tool you want to learn is the SLIP tool.
    You drop the clip in and get it 'close' then click on the SLIP tool and type numbers in. The video will 'slip' within the existing IN/OUT points.
    So...
    If you see the video lagging the audio -- type 5 and it will slip 5 frames forward. If you see the audio lagging the video type -5 and it will slip back 5 frames.
    Good luck,
    CaptM

  • Learn how to use Powershell with AD, Exchange and Excel

    Hi.
    I want to learn how to script in Powershell to make my life easier at work.
    Now, I'm creating Distribution Lists with cmdlets, and other simple moves, but I'd like understand and use scripts with Excel to make it easier in AD and Exchange.
    Can anyone help me find out where I can learn Powershell with those tools? I've searched google and youtube, and bought books, but I'd like to learn especially about AD and Exchange through Excel.
    I also have another question, I'm trying to collect the telephonenumbers in one OU in AD, and found this cmdlet:
    Get-AdUser -Filter * -Properties OfficePhone | FT OfficePhone,UserPrincipalName
    I lined ut the OU path before -Filter, and used * -Properties Telephones Mobile to find the phonenumber in Properties-Telephones-Mobile in Active Directory. But I'm obviously doing something wrong.
    Could anyone please help me? 

    Hi Wezcomp,
    first of all, you can use Get-Help to learn how to use Cmdlets, by asking them what it is they do:
    Get-Help Get-ADUser -Detailed
    By Adding the -Detailed Parameter, it will explain each Parameter of Get-ADUser and what it does. Then it will show you examples on how to use the cmdlet. Very useful tool,
    Get-Help, learning to use it fully ought to be your first step, as this unlocks your access all other aspects of PowerShell. With that tool in hand, you could theoretically do the rest fully autodidactically (would be frustrating though, since you'd
    like to be able to do something specific right now. Don't worry, we'll gladly help anyone truly trying to learn.).
    There are lots of tutorials out there that can be useful in a general way (I added my own here). But regarding Excel:
    As Fausto said, CSVs are the simple most way to do this. I'd advice against delving too deep into Excel manipulation right now (lots of frustration, little immediate rewards), Csv is your friend. Notable Commands:
    Import-Csv
    Export-Csv
    For example, if you want to create a csv list with user data in it, using your previous example, you can do this:
    Get-ADUser -Filter "*" -Properties OfficePhone | Export-Csv "C:\example\users.csv" -NoTypeInformation
    By the way: FT (Format-Table) is a treacherous command: It displays objects to the console, but it is a dead end where data is concerned! Only use it when you want to check something quick on the console (like whether you got the right data), before
    continuing on without using a Format command.
    Cheers,
    Fred

  • HowI get Address Book Server sync with clients?

    I have just set up Lion Server on a macmini and am learning how to set it up.  I cannot get address Book server to sync with client accounts.
    The server is function is active.  The users are properly set up, and the clients have been connected to the server and a Mac OSX Server Address Book created.  I have also set up the address book on the Mac Mini with an OSX Server addresss book.  It should show the same entries as the client and sync wherever changes are made.  Not a sausage....nothing......  The little 'wheel' whizzes round and does......... you have got it........ nothing.
    I thought this was easy to use?
    Any help would be welcome.

    Hi,
    Yes the sync tool is a standalone utility (you don't need the outlook connector installed). I finally got around to installing/configuring the latest version (comm-suite-5 sync tool) against my 2005Q4 test install.
    The addressbook server is the UWC address as I mentioned before but you also need to include the /uwc on the end.
    So for my system I have the following setting:
    local.sso.uwc.verifyurl = http://test-system.sun.com:82/uwc/VerifySSO?
    This maps to a :
    => Address Book Server: test-system.sun.com/uwc
    => Port: 82
    So in your case it would be:
    local.sso.uwc.verifyurl = http://hostname:6788/uwc/VerifySSO?
    => Address Book Server: hostname/uwc
    => Port: 6788
    Regards,
    Shane.

    I am a teacher of mathematics and i have a windows pc, but i want to do the next step. I want to buy an iMac. I want to learn how to write mathematical equations and how to do geometrical schema in my documents with iMac. Help me please!!! Thank you very much!!!

    Bonjour VAGRAI
    1) To write math expressions in a text :
         — Microsoft Office 2011 etc. for Mac use its included Equation Editor.
         — OpenOffice.org (OOo) and NeoOffice : download free Dmath 3.3.
         — iWork (Pages, Numbers, Keynote), download free MathType 6.7, fully functional for 30 days, then becomes « Lite » for life as good as the Microsoft equation editor ; it’s better than using Grapher’s equation editor (Applications > Utilities) because MathType can be called from Pages and allows editing equations by clicking the math expressions your text (details on MathType website) .
         — Graph.app 2.3 in Mountain Lion is built to draw curves and surfaces from equations, so it uses an equation editor less powerful than mathType, but it’s easier typing expressions. You may get 2D 3D geometrical drawings from clever equations. Suggest a glance at   http://y.barois.free.fr/grapher/  to know all about Grapher (83 pages Instructions for Use - Grapher) and some examples
      2) Geometrical schema :
         — GeoGebra is very popular and used by math teachers.
         — Google SketchUp 8 was not built for mathematics but for architecture, but it’s very easy using it to draw 2D 3D surfaces and solid figures.
         — ShapeOnYou.app allows simples geometrical figures  http://pierre.chachatelier.fr/programmation/shapeonyou_en.php
    3) Some useful websites for screen shots of geometrical schema :
         http://www.mathcurve.com/
         http://perso.orange.fr/roger.assouly/
    Drawings files PDF, TIFF, JPG … can be inserted in an iWork window (Pages).
    I hate LaTex : not necessary to write math books !  
    Au revoir VAGRAI,
    YB24
    Attachment : lines and curves were made with Google SketchUp 8, screen copied (Command-Shift-4), inserted on a Pages sheet to add letters figures rectangles title.
    SketchUp allows drawing precisely an arc of circle 325 mm radius 22,5° angle for instance.
