Illustrator

I've got two Power Macs: a 500 MHz G4 with 1.25 Gig of RAM, and a dual 2 GHz G5 with an even gig of RAM. If I run the same number and type of applications and processes (e.g., mail, address book, safari, quicken, photoshop, illustrator, terminal running top, activity manager) I notice that the G4 (which actually has more RAM) seems to use significantly more physical memory...

Place the photo in illustrator (or photoshop) and use any number of CS suite's rough brushes. They work WONDERS.

also look at brushes in illustrator; a collegue showed me some funky brush-stuff. create a brush (path/vectors) yourself, and after that just paintbrush this vectors all over your canvas, then select anther tool to paintbrush effects like scale, rotation color variation over the previously brushes verctor.. creates crazy chaotic, yet completely controlled stuff.. i'll...

I am coming from a windows environment so this is all new. I have set a small network here at home just 4 Macs and 1 PC, an Xerox Phasor 8400 and a HP 5150. I can write filemaker databases and 4D databases and I just want to switch over to the Mac, because you cannot throw a stone in the air and not hit someone that is a windows developer or network analyst.

Okay, since I can't find any Cyrillic cursive fonts on the web, then I guess I'll have to make one myself. But I'm not sure on how to go about creating a font. I need to know how to do this.

I usually have Extensis suitcase running at all times, Adobe Illustrator 10, Photoshop 7, Microsoft Entourage 2000, Safari, and occasionally InDesign 2.02. Don't know of any potential conflicts with these. ...

Essentially, Illustrator and MacOSX are printing out White, Your Printer is putting out no Ink, so it thinks it's printing out white, but the problem is that the white is tinged brown. ...

For whatever reason, when i hold down shift and resize, it does not lock the scaling. Nor does the hold the space bar change the cursor to the hand for scrolling around a page. Really cuts into my production. Any help would be appreciated. ***Edit Apparently this problem is in Photoshop as well. Checked Flash to see if it was a shift issue in all apps, nope, didn't happen...

I sit on top of Mount Photoshopolympus and look down at the peons below me. :) But seriously, I wanted to do graphic design at one point, but the only tool I've ever had available to me (and thus been able to learn) is Photoshop. And then one day, I found I was bored of it. I imagine if I had more experience using other tools like Illustrator, Indesign, etc. I would be...
