Editor's Corner: Display Type, Transparency, and More
We wrapped up another issue of InDesign Magazine last week. Because I'm really happy with the outcome, I thought I'd tell you a bit about it.
The cover story is all about display type, which can make or break a page. Follow this article's advice and your display type will
be top-notch. Another story is on InDesign transparency. While transparency has come a long way, there are still a few gotchas, which
this article helps you avoid. Other articles include tips on sorting text and tables; building templates; and finding the equivalent of
Illustrator's Reflect tool. There are also three plug-in reviews; a round-up of new or updated software and fonts; and an InDesign cartoon.
InDesign Magazine is a good buy, but since you read this newsletter, I can make it even better with a special discount code. Go to http://www.indesignmag.com/purchase.php and
enter "creativeprose" in the Promotional Code field. Then you'll receive a year's subscription for $39, or two years (plus
all back issues) for $69.
And now, back to CreativePro.com!

Increase Photoshop's Canvas Size with the Crop Tool
That's right, I said the "Crop tool." As Anne-Marie Concepcion explains, not only can it make your canvas bigger, but it gives you a preview and the flexibility to adjust size on the fly.
