Ray Dream Designer is labeled as a three-dimensional illustration program. It attempts to bridge the gap between two-dimensional draw packages such as Adobe Illustrator and three-dimensional modeling and animation packages such as Specular Infini-D. It does so by both pro-viding tools similar to those found in 2D programs and by focusing its own 3D environment on the cre-ation of still images for print instead of animation. The programs basic ideas are innovative and pow-erful, but their implementations are sometimes frustrating.

While Ive been an artist most of my life, type design is a new habit. Ive been making fonts for about five months, but I consider myself an artist first, a writer second, and then maybe a type designer, and an undisciplined one at that. Making fonts is guerilla warfare. I make them as quick as I can if it takes longer than a night, its a lie and then blast them into cyberspace, sit back, and see what happens. Spontaneity is crucial. I use several different software programs: Photoshop, Illustrator (though I prefer FreeHand a long story), Streamline and, of course, Fontographer. Those Altsys guys and gals...

When a program emerges with the market dominance of Photoshop, its natural to expect a number of related books to appear, and this has certainly been the case with Photoshop. In a recent Mac Monitor we examined the Macworld Photoshop 2.5 Bible (IDG), Visual Quickstart Guide, The Photoshop Wow Book, Photoshop in Black and White (all from Peachpit Press), Designer Photoshop (Random House), and related books on scanning and color separations. Now weve received a whole new crop. The Best - The Macworld Photoshop 3 Bible (2nd Edition) by Deke McClelland remains the definitive resource for users of the program.

The biggest news of the year for many graphics professionals is the release of a major upgrade to Adobe Photoshop. One can argue the relative mer-its of Illustrator vs. FreeHand, or PageMaker vs. QuarkXPress, but there simply is no competition for Photoshop.* Not content to rest on its laurels, Adobe has brought out version 3.0 of the pro-gram packed with many improvements both large and small. Probably the biggest changeand the most eagerly anticipatedis Layers. Compositing (combining parts of two or more images) is an important aspect of working with a program like Photoshop.

So when Jim held up The Official America Online for Macintosh Membership Kit & Tour Guide, which came with 20 free hours to try it out, I jumped at the chance to finally take the plunge. Writing a review was a small price to pay. I enjoyed reading the book straight through. The style was very friendly, as most Mac books seem to be; and Tom Lichty (MajorTom online), the author, was very enthusiastic and seemed knowledgeable about AOL.

After sending in the $15 shareware fee, I was surprised to receive Golf and Pyramid, new versions of old computer classics. Now I just want more of these great games and updated versions, Santa!

Some remarks about Microsoft Word 6.0 and Excel 5.0 - Excel 5.0, released a few months ago for 68K and PowerMacs, and Word 6.0 (apparently still released only for 68K Macs as of this writing), are both completely platform transparent with their Windows counterparts, which have been around for some time now. Supposedly Fortune 500 com-panies will therefore be more willing to use Word and Excel than WordPerfect, Quattro Pro, 1-2-3, and Ami Pro, which do not offer complete cross-platform compatibility, if at all.

It groups items that arent selected, items that are off the page, and it cannot group items that should plainly fit on the page when grouped, instead of saying items when grouped will not fit on page, etc. I tried grouping a logo to a box with no fill and a white rule (the box being about 1 x 3) and the grouping resulted in a box about 7 x 14.

PageMaker ProblemsAgain? Theres been some heated discussion of problems with PageMaker recently, both here in the pages of Mac Monitor, and on our local bulletin board. PageMaker seems to be one of those programs that people either love (for its ease-of-use) or hate (because it doesnt always work, or because of its somewhat non-standard way of doing things), or sometimes both.

The quality and accessibility of paperless documents has moved up a notch with the release of Adobe Acrobat 2.0.

On a whim, I installed 7.5 on a slow Friday. (First I backed up my 7.1 System Folder in case I changed my mind later.) Updating is a way of life in the computer world. Ive learned, how-ever, to avoid updating more than one thing at a time. Makes it easier to assess blame when things dont quite work out. If you dont opt for the QuickDraw GX and PowerTalk features, System 7.5 offers more of a facelift than anything. But the changes are nice, especially for us folks who dont bother much with inter-face enhancements (there are so many out there!) because we have enough extensions that are essential that we dont need to go looking for Name = Photoshop Hints.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Mugs:Arizona:AMUG:Photoshop Hints.sit Size: 6K Date: 5/24/95 Description: Photoshop Hints - by Jim Metcalf. When a scientist is looking for the answer to a problem, he/she uses the scientific method to find a solution. When using Photoshop to create special effects, you must use a similar procedure. Maybe that is why art and science seem to be so similar in many ways. Think of it, the people who write the programs that we use now, including Photoshop, had to have some incredible minds. I often wonder how they came up with the number of controls and filters they wanted to include. Think of the features they probably left out because they could not resolve the bugs.

Installing New Software, The Dreaded Extension Conflict. I violated my own rule the other day. I tried to install new software without first turning off my extensions and control panels. The software was on three 800K disks. After the installer read the first disk, it asked for the second, and when I put it in the drive, the installer asked for disk number one. I stuck disk one in, and it asked for disk two. I was caught in an endless cycle of disk one, disk two, disk one, disk two. Download for more info...

It allows members to find answers to their problems by utilizing the abilities of other members in their group. The benefits of this are obvious since not only does the user have access to a full list of applications (hardware and software) which are linked to any member, they also have the phone numbers and special comments regarding any member they want to communicate with. In order to obtain the maximum benefit from GuideWay II, it is suggested that you periodically update your copy of both GuideWay II (in the event that it has been updated) and the GuideWay II data file for your user group.

HyperCard represents a unique approach to multimedia.

These groups of cards are called stacks. HyperCard uses a powerful, high-level (very English-like) programming language called HyperTalk to script responses to user actions. With the 2.2 release of HyperCard, Apple has addressed the serious weaknesses of HyperCard - the lack of color and animation tools.

Probably the biggest changeand the most eagerly anticipatedis Layers. Compositing (combining parts of two or more images) is an important aspect of working with a program like Photoshop.

Even if the tax increases are not affecting you, theres always a chance that your rich aunt Ethel, who never had children of her own, may leave you a sizable portion of the vast estate she has amassed. (Its easier to amass sizable estates when you dont have children in college.) Or, you may hit the Georgia lottery for a few million. So, in case some- thing like this does happen, you may want to turn to tax-free investments, and this article will take a look at how to use a spreadsheet to calculate the income from a bond purchase.

I had been using TouchBase Pro to keep track of my contacts and Now Up-To-Date to keep my schedule straight and to help remind me of important chores. Both of these programs did a fine job with my sometimes complicated life - writer, editor, professor, desktop publisher. When DateBook Pro came out, I found that my calendar and my contacts could be coordinated. My problem was that I simply liked Now Up-To-Date better than DateBook Pro. Although both programs are competent and well-designed, I preferred the ease and speed that Now Up-To-Dates keyboard shortcuts offered.

Since you are writing your own disks with the head misaligned, you can read them with the same misalignment; but you may not be able to read a disk written with the heads in proper alignment. Some believe that periodic head cleaning is as important in a floppy disk drive as with an audio tape recorder. A solution to these problems is Drive Tech from Micromat Computer Systems.
