How can it be the end of December already?! The year rushed by, and there is still so much more to explore and learn. Well, let’s start the new year with a look at some recent articles and videos of interest to InDesign users:
- Did you know that InCopy has a Transpose characters feature? (Look in the comments to get a script that works in InDesign.)
- Bart Van de Wiele shows a terrific tip about converting images to grayscale (in Photoshop) so that a) they appear just on the black plate in InDesign and b) you can go back and edit the color-to-grayscale adjustment later. It’s a must-see-to-understand tip!
- Jeff Witchell has a new video that talks about the awesomeness of fixed layout epub (FXL).
- Here’s a nice tutorial on Create Beautiful Wedding Invitations Using Adobe InDesign and Typekit.
