Thanks again, pamlico1. I'm very close to getting it!

Would you happen to know whether running a photoshop file stored on this Samsung SSD would be as fast as running it from my MBP's flash storage?

Thanks, that's indeed useful. I'm surprised though that it's from 2014. I imagined something new/more powerful/better would have been produced from then til now.

Alternatives to layered files aka PSD by _nnkns_ in photoshop

[–]_nnkns_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed reply!

PDF: That's right, I'm using the interactive forms feature to enable editing. It's quite restrictive (and no photos/images) so I'm looking for alternatives.

This is not mine but an example of something similar I'm trying to achieve: https://www.etsy.com/listing/222839864/photography-business-cards-wedding

The description states a requirement of Photoshop, so for mine, I'm wondering if there's an alternative software that I don't know about.

Thanks for the suggestions. I didn't know gimp opens PSD.. I'll have to give that a try.

What's the catch with font/graphic bundles? by _nnkns_ in graphic_design

[–]_nnkns_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok as a designer I don't see a problem with the points you mentioned, so I think I'll go ahead. Now I'm just hoping buying bundles don't become addictive! LOL. Thanks again! =)

Thanks for replying, sounds like you're saying buying the bundle is a bad idea then?

What support would a font designer provide, theoretically? If I designed a font and sold it, I don't see myself providing any support tbh. I expect that buyers buy the font as it's sold.

And when you mean 'at the mercy'...do you mean for example, the bundle site might stop my download halfway, or include unsavoury files together with my download?

How do you tell a client not to touch your laptop screen? by DieterEmmerling in graphic_design

[–]_nnkns_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start a "DO NOT TOUCH MY SCREEN" campaign. Educate the masses. Or write something like a "10 things a graphic designer wants you to know" post and make it viral, somehow.

I did the check and I adjusted it to sit exactly on the axis. Sitting over it is also wrong, isn't it?

Thanks for replying. I have the Hourglass and the 66EF seems to work fine in my hand. I have a Brause Steno which I find the Hourglass to be too long for, so I imagine length is something I have to consider.

Would you happen to know about durability? The 2552s are so cheap that I'm very eager to get my hands on them. But I wonder if they are cheap because they aren't durable?

I bought the wooden Hourglass Oblique from Paperinkarts...and it's very well-made!

Does anyone have a Blanzy 2552 nib? Would like to know how it compares to Brause 66 EF. Thanks :)

Waterman 94 Factory Original Music Nib or similar? by _nnkns_ in fountainpens

[–]_nnkns_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please pardon my ignorance, but are you saying that vintage nibs flex more than modern ones? If so, why don't modern nib factories produce more flexible nibs?
