    • RE: Searching for a good 3D PDF creator

      Hi,

      SimLabs works fine for me? I'm currently using the free version. When i run the plugin this windows pops up...

      Register.jpg

      then this...

      Export File.jpg

      Then the PDF appears at location chosen.

      I'm running Acrobat Reader 9.1 if that's helps

      you'll find info, I've used it since and find it extremely user friendly. Unlike my boss who unwilling to cough up for the whole shebang. Also Simlabs are currently trialing a Beta of their next release so maybe contact them to try and get on that?

    • RE: Erasing a face

      Use 'Select' tool (spacebar) to select the face and press delete key

      or

      right click face with 'Select' tool and choose 'Erase'

      or

      hover over face with 'Move' tool (m) and press delete

      as you can see there are many ways to erase faces but there is also many ways to prevent the face that you gonna delete from appearing in the first place

      if you are new to this I'd recommend Aidan Chopra's YouTube Channel as your first Pitstop. Then I suggest to get his book 'SU for Dummies.

      Finally post your problems here as there are great advisors and a friendly community

    • RE: What is hot this year (for prizes)

      For me, Apple will own this year with the iSlate. That is of course if it lives up to expectations. All will be revealed on the 27th.

      Sources claim it will be lower priced than the iPhone, so that's under โ‚ฌ500. As for it's capabilities, there's nothing confirmed but gesture based actions are supposedly a killer feature of the OS.

      Could be worth considering to wait for Mr. Jobs to spill the beans

      http://www.adrive.com/

      This was recommended in the 'Sunday Times' as one of the Top Ten Online Storage Sites.

      Seems hard to believe but after researching more it offers very credible deals on online storage.

      Has any member tried this out?

    • RE: How to import Soundtracks to iTunes

      Hi,

      when I import soundtracks or compilations from Cd before I do the importing process I select all the tracks(ctrl+a) then right click selection and choose 'get info'. This allows you to batch rename artist/album/year/genre etc or as Chris states turn an album into a compilation(check box)

      after it's imported to your library you can add the album cover by right clicking sleeve and choosing 'get artwork'

      I always import at 320kbps AAC if it's for iPod as it provides best sound quality in comparison size. Apple Lossless gives great results but album size is bloated and cross platform compatibilty is reduced
