Yes, I give him credit for being different. I can see the developer is trying to be original with the menu command (File, Edit etc). I'm not sure about other users' Macs (perhaps the brightness has been set all the way to the top to make it work for them), but even with my maximum brightness, I do have to squint hard to look at these buttons to see what they are.Ģ. And I mean much more significant contrast. Yeah alright, I can see the developer is going down the path of Adobe CS6 with its darker theme for the UI, but if this is to be attempted and become the norm for this tool, make sure the graphics and text representing the buttons on the UI are clear. I won't go into a lot of details (as I see the developer is working hard to fix up bugs and all the rest), but I would really like to see the following improvements (if it is possible)::ġ. Furthermore, I really hate to criticise any software that is freeware, but I do have a few qualms about this one. Perhaps the biggest plus is the ability to create new font characters in a package that is essentially free (well, donationware to be more precise) is really a gift to the Mac community. And, to some extent, I still do like what the developer has achieved so far. I see a lot of potential in what's emerging out of this tool and the things one can do with it. I'm not amused, especially since I preferred FontLab to other font editors.You know I really want to like BirdFont a lot. Windows users don't have to deal with this, even though most typographers and font designers work on Macs. The website says that there will eventually be an Intel binary, but it hasn't materialised yet, even though it was purportedly to be released in "July 2011." It's September-where is it? FontLab is still, even after five years of Intel Macs, not a universal binary, and therefore cannot run on Apple's most recent OS. This is like Adobe not updating Photoshop for five years, even when many people rely on it.Įven Glyphs, which I consider overpriced as it is, is around $400 less than your offering, and it's Intel-compatible. The price is bad, but the fact that you cannot be bothered to update your software to run on recent Macs natively shows a gross lack of concern for your customers, especially considering FontLab's widespread use in typeface design. You charge nearly $700 for a product that is not a universal binary. I'd like to know if I'll still be young enough to use it so I know whether to start saving now.įontLab, *please* edit your software. It would certainly be nice if Fontlab could provide a timetable for the release of version 6 which would narrow it down to a particular year, at least. So, high marks for features and capabilities, but so-so to lousy everywhere else. The manual has a horrendous amount of material to cover and doesn't do it in a very comprehensible way. More than about 3 seconds of the pinwheel and I know it's going bye-bye.įortunately the app starts up quickly and saves rapidly, as well as saving a backup and having an autosave. There are also too many circumstances when instead of reporting an error of some kind, it simply crashes. However, under 10.6.8 on my Mac Pro at least, it is absolutely riddled with peculiar behaviors and bugs which have to be negotiated like a minefield. It's loaded with redundancies in ways of doing the same thing and customization, though I hesitate to call that bad (if they all worked properly). The UI could definitely be made easier to use and in some cases is quite bewildering. Having had the chance to actually use the software fairly extensively, I can actually rate it at last.įontlab Studio's complexity and breadth are amazing. Color OpenType (TTF+SVG, +COLR, +CBDT, +sbix).FontLab now supports color and variability, so you can explore these new possibilities and expand your creative reach. But they reconsidered and streamlined every function.įontLab VI also gives you groundbreaking new drawing tools and responsive contour operations to make your design process easier and more efficient, whether you’re an expert or a beginner. FontLab brought in the best of their classic apps, FontLab Studio and Fontographer, including many familiar keyboard FontLab shortcuts. It is an all-around font editor, but also supports data interchange with other font creation tools, making it easy to integrate into your existing workflows. With FontLab (was FontLab Studio), you can create, open, modify, draw, space, kern, hint, and export desktop, web, color, and variable fonts.

“Similar as” can be a grammatically correct phrase so long as the “similar” also had an “as” before it. Unlike “similar to”, “of similar” requires there to be a specific attribute that the two things have in common. But I don’t see it that way, I think it serves a very clear purpose. However, this phrasing is less common and some even see it as archaic. For example, if two things share the same trait, you might say “they are OF similar x”. However, you don’t say “similar of” but “of similar”. “I have a cup that’s similar to the ones my mistress used to drink from” Of similarĪnother word that can go with similar is “of”. “English Breakfast is similar to American lunch” We wake up late and have a good breakfast” “My morning routine is similar to that of Jeff Bezos. “The water here tastes similar to that stuff coca cola used to make. “My plant is similar to the kind of thing I would find in the forest when I used to live in Japan” “That new burger joint is similar to the one I used to go to as a kid” It’s similar to my old one, but this one is a lot faster” Unlike “with” for example, you couldn’t put “to” in front of similar, it has to go after. It needs to come after another word to make sense. A preposition is a word used to describe something’s location- this does not have to mean physical location, we can also be talking about the medium, place in time, etc.Ī dependent preposition depends on another word. Well, let’s start by establishing what a preposition is. If you’re anything like me just a couple of years ago, you may have just read that and now you’re wondering what on Earth a “dependent preposition” is. “Like Burger King and McDonalds, the book and the film are similar”. “The book and film are as similar as McDonalds and Burger King” “With similar characters to the book, the film was a success” However, we can change words around for the others…. This is because “to” is a dependent preposition. “Similar to” is the only correct one of the four. Similar With, Similar To, Similar As, or Similar Like? But for those of you who are new to the English language, you might not be aware of how to talk about similar things. When two things are similar, that means they are alike, but not completely identical.

Controversy as advertisement - a pretty time-honored tradition, seems to me. But clearly it has *not* struck everybody that way - so it becomes controversial. If it struck *everyone* as cheap and crappy, then you wouldn’t use it. They’re what call attention to something so that you *might* buy it if you like the product, which is the music.)īesides which, of course, not *everybody* thinks the album cover is crappy - it’s generated both hate *and* love, along with intrigue. Because the music *matters*, it’s the actual *product,* whereas the cover is *only* a publicity tool, an ad (and always has been - covers are advertisements, pr stunts, and that’s all…. Yeah, I can imagine somebody doing that, in a music industry that’s utterly tanking and where nobody really has any idea how to generate a lot of attention and sales.īut, no, of course they wouldn’t do it with the music …. So the idea is to produce a crappy album cover to keep people talking? I hope that’s notion of publicity doesn’t cross over to the music. If everybody’s chatting, they keep on looking. So I can’t help but believe that they chose the other *because* it was going to cause a *lot* of response and chatter, even realizing that much of that was going to be negative. And if they asked anybody about the album cover, they were obviously going to get confusion, ambivalence, and hoots of laughter (alongside some approval), while with this one, they must certainly have gotten at least 80 percent approval. i can’t imagine they didn’t research that album cover vs. While this one would just have gotten: Hey, *great* cover, man! … and then everybody would have moved on. I think they were thinking that the other one would generate love, hate, disdain, puzzlement and lots of other things that would get tons of talk and attention and controversy - and thus publicity. If this had been the album cover (what were they thinking with the other one when they had THIS in their back pocket?), I’m pretty sure I would’ve ranked it my favorite Idol cover that I’ve seen. Check it out RIGHT HERE.ĭude, I’m not even a fan, but this cover is soooo awesome. I’m going to pin this post to the top for awhile.Īlso leaked this morning…the track list for the album.

Luke track, “For Your Entertainment” today on Ryan Seacrest’s KIIS FM radio show at 6:55 am.Ĭheck out the cover–initially posted on Perez Hilton this morning. PS: I’m not getting the T Rex comparisons at all, the song sounds thoroughly modern to me.Īdam Lambert will debut his new single, the Claude Kelly/Dr. It’s hard to predict these things, but I think “For Your Entertainment” has a shot at chart success. Making a thoroughly modern pop song that plays well on CHR is exactly what he needed to do at this point in order to get those all-important radio spins. No surprise here, for anyone who has listened to his pre-Idol work–Adam was all about the dancey processed pop. UPDATE:: My take: This danceable tune finds Adam’s vocals processed, stripping out his unique sound until the very end where he gets in a few of his signature rock wails. Listen to Adam’s pre and post song interview here: UPDATE: According to RS, “For Your Entertainment” will be available digitally later today. It furthermore works perfectly with rounded borders as can be seen in the second screenshot. The rounded corners on the other hand remain a problem.ħCapture removes the background of the window before it takes the screenshot. Most webmasters who take screenshots help themselves by moving the window that they want to take a screenshot of on a white background so that the alpha effects do not play a role anymore. Most free screenshot programs do not support the removal of these visual effects which means that the screenshots may look unprofessional. Modern operating systems come with all kinds of visual effects like rounded window corners or alpha effects that look nice but may be problematic for users who want to take screenshots.

Welcome to the best screenshot capture software overview. This is arguably one of the most important tools you’ll need in professional graphics design, particularly if you work with large-scale printing.ģ. Some applications use artificial intelligence to process a low-resolution bitmap image and turn it into a vector file which can then be scaled up to a much larger size without losing quality. High-quality bitmap-to-vector conversions Designers are often tasked with converting low-resolution bitmaps to vector images, making this a key feature to look for in your design software choice. Look for a product that not only offers powerful tools for vector illustration, multi-page layout, and typography, but photo editing too.Ģ. Comprehensive tools to speed up your workflow When choosing design software, it’s important to decide on something that offers everything you need to express your creative vision all in one application. How to go about choosing the best graphics design software for to reach creative nirvana. We put the question to Klaus Vossen, Senior Product Manager for CorelDraw ( CorelDRAW review here). How to choose the best alternative to Illustrator for you It’s built on HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript with no server-side functionality, so if you wish you can download and modify the code to make your own version. The tool is open source, which means that new features are being added all the time by contributing developers. SVG-Edit works in any modern browser, and offers a basic set of vector editing features including hand-drawing tools, shape tools, text tools and path tools. You can use this free vector software within your web browser to create SVG images and edit existing ones. If your prime reason for wanting a vector graphics editor is to create SVG files for websites, then SVG-Edit may be all you need. This is a risk with any similar web app though, and we appreciate Vecteezy being so up-front about it. There are just a couple of points to be aware of: you'll need to create an account or log in using Facebook in order to save your work, and if you open a particularly large file, Vecteezy warns you that doing so might cause your browser to freeze. It's all refreshingly simple to use, and even brand new users will grasp the fundamentals within a few minutes. Vecteezy also includes a pen tool for drawing freehand shapes and editing existing paths, plus a simple color-picker. There's a selection of shapes and ready-made clipart to choose from, and a huge array of typefaces for text-based designs. You can import and edit SVG files, or create your own designs from scratch. Vecteezy is another free in-browser Adobe Illustrator alternative (the developer earns a crust selling premium illustrations, and its customers include the BBC, Amazon, McDonald's and Dell). The game will first be released on PC, with a Mac release soon after. I am currently writing the user guide and putting the final touches on the game. You won’t have to wait very long for the game, as it is nearly complete.
Type them into the W and H fields next to the file format options. You can choose as many as you want, so you could convert a group of images to JPEG, PNG, and Affinity Photo's own AFPhoto format all at the same time. When you do a bit more than the regular meme, you realize that you are better off with one of these dedicated animation apps (not referring to the converters, but the actual animation tools). There are five options: AFPhoto, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and OpenEXR. I have not deeply use it for animation, but Krita has enough features for that, too :Īnd if you are making only pixel art, the thing is extremely clear, is getting this 14 $ jewel, it's a joy : That or Open toonz :Īlternatively, another interesting option is Synfig: And the right move to make animation on the free land. That old version of Animation Paper is really good and advanced. That said, I love traditional animation, and some tools are very good for that, like : Probably what you need is the free version of Sprite (I'd pre-order the version 2, seems is going to be amazing) Is so important to do actually good animations, that I'd rather use a really good app for that, even if does not export as gif anims (but PNG or GIF frames) and then you need to use MS gif animator or the one I linked, to convert the bunch of frames to an animated gif (easy peasy, tho). For pure pixel art animation, is thousands times better Aseprite. Sprite maintains its free one, though, and seems gif export is included. I believe Spriter has one, and Spine does so, too (not anymore). Most animation packages count on a free version. Create this scene using your IMAGE-nation - we will pick one to be featured across our social media platforms graphicdesign create. Even Krita ( ) has that better.Īs someone that has needed to animate quite often, I'd recommend specialized tools for that. Space is no longer just a place for astronauts, it’s now a place for anyone to go on holiday. With proper onion settings, not something smashed there in any way, with a convoluted workflow like in PS, and much better timeline and keyframes options than Adobe provides. For that is a lot better an actual animation software. You will find (among other things) clown fish, sharks, fish, crabs, squid, ducks, seagulls, mussels, dolphins and more.
