A bit of explanation

This is a catch all for tips and tricks I run across for prepress and graphic design. So when ever I stumble across something I think is interesting I'll post it here.

So here's a couple for InDesgin
1. You not only use the eyedropper tool to sample and apply attributes in the same document, you can do it across multiple open documents.

2. We use a numbering system here at the print shop. So for example if we are doing a layout with a photo the photo would be called scan-34587-truck, then the layout would be called something like flyer-34587-truck. Well a nice thing in InDesign is in the save dialog box you can click on the prexisitng scanned photo and it will pull that file name into the file name text field and all you would have to do is change the "scan" to "layout"

Thats it for now.
Cheers
