They’re called Anaglyphs. There are plug-ins for Photoshop and various things like:
http://www.stereoeye.jp/software/index_e.htmlI’ve had some success in creating these by offsetting the cyan and magenta plates but in a grayscale image. So, convert to grayscale then back to cmyk. Or, rgb and offset the red and green.
Do a search and you’ll find some more info.
The other kind where you offset two pms colors is more for line-art.

Hmm. Well, in addition to websites and print design, we produce three montly publications each of which are always between 56 and 76 pages.
Are you trying to manage the organization of the content as you receive it or as it is placed, or in checking it against content that might already be in?
These pubs have numerous ads and articles all of which change each month.
For the larger pub, we have folders for each section of the publication (“Diretors,” “Political Frontline,” “Letters to the Editor,” etc) and each section has a log sheet which assigns a number to each individual piece of information within that section. So, for instance in the Letters section, each letter would be L01, L02, L03 etc.
Because it’s always a different content length each month, we really just have to use that basic system or organize what comes in. And of course we use style sheets for formatting.
I’m not sure what kind of program would provide the organizing of content which InDesign could utilize.
The standard slap-stick is to dupe the previous issue, color all text some wierd green or something and as you make new edits, color it back to black. you could then have information that stays already there as opposed to having to flow in all new copy which is just different due to dates.
But, you run a risk of a small change in some area, such as a description, which gets overlooked.

Gray is either just a percentage of Black or in RGB three of the same number with the lower numbers being darker.
So, R=134, G=134, B=134 will give you a gray.
255,255,255 equals white and 0,0,0 equals black. It’s just like web design.

That’s interesting…why whould you choose to export a jpeg? I tried with Maximum selected as image quality and still received 72 dpi as well.
My suggestion, unless there is some setting hidden somewhere in InDesignCS would be to export everything as a pre-set Print pdf and then simply set up an action in photoshop to batch process them all to save as a jpeg.
If anyone finds something, I’m sure they’ll post here.

Well, I found an easy great way. Just using a cone with no caps and the Danel default shader. Multiple cones rotated various ways and different scalings make a fairly convincing bow.

jeez, that makes total sense and in Flash I always do that. Good to hear it to get it again, thanks!!

Well, you can import swf files and quicktime movies into AE which you can create out of FlashMX.
I did this for a tradeshow website. I created a presentation in Flash which linked to a movie. Then, within that movie I had imported a separate swf file and put that in an AE composition which I rendered out as a quicktime movie that was then exported as an flv file out of AE. That flv was put inside a separate flash file and was called from the first.
Just keep the framerate the same between the two. You can export a quicktime movie or w

The easiest way to replace anything you don’t know the ascii code for is to just simply copy the figures and paste.
So, just copy the two return ‘spaces,’ paste into the find box then paste again into the replace box and delete one of the two characters that will appear as the code for a return.
Find and Replace is one of the best/handy/important tools for developers!

Choose the retangular frame tool and draw your box. Next, with that frame (box) selected, look under the menu item called Objects.
Choose Rounded Corners. You’ll be presented with a box that allows you to preview and enter the amount of radius you need.
As for color selection, notice all the palettes are ‘stuck’ on the right hand side of the default page. You can pull an menu off to create a floating palette. Go under Window and select Swathces or Color. That will bring the palette out. Then, just click and drag the palette out so it’s always available instead of hidden in it’s collapsed state.
You can do this with any palette. After your palettes are out or arranged as you like them, choose Window, Workspace, Save Workspace and name the arrangement. Your palettes will be stay that way.
As for creating a new color, use the Color palette to mix the color and choose mode with the little top left arrow of the palette. Once you’ve mixed the color, choose Add To Swatches in the little arrow menu.
You can also use the swatches palette
