When working in Indesign, often you will want an image to be cut out from the original background. InDesign automatically places a solid white background around an objects edge, even when you have selected out the background in Photoshop. To elimanate the background you will need to create a clipping path in Photoshop.Here is how you do that:Make your desired selection.Go to: Path Pallete/

There are times when working on an Indesign project, that when you switch from one Mac computer to another that the second computer does not recognize the fonts. In past versions of the Mac, all you had to do was highlight and paste the font from your packaged folder into the fonts folder on the computer.To the best of my knowledge this is no longer possible to do. In order to preserve the fonts

When you place and trace an image in illustrator, often this image will come with a background color, usually white. This is even the case, when you have gone to the trouble to select and delete the background in photoshop.
