I think you can just package the InDesign file like normal. Then just save the the same document as a .inx or .idml file. Copy your packaged files (usually in a folder) onto your home computer. When you open your .inx file you should be able to re-link all the packaged images to the .inx file...

I often have the same problem, since my clients send me high resolution tif files. But you can just place the TIFF images in InDesign. If they are to big then placing them in Illustrator and then place the AI file in ID will work...I sometimes have to do that since that's what my clients send...

What about the Photoshop plug-in Genuine Fractals? Would that help boost the resolution needed?

Thanks for that...funny.

I feel your pain! When I started using a wacom tablet and pen my wrist was cramped for weeks. But I got used to it and now it is no problem. I think the key was to relax while using it. I had a tendency to put it down and go back to using the mouse. But I had to make myself stick to it and after...

I used the Intuos with the classic pen for my work computer. Once I got used to the feel of it, I absolutely loved it. I hated to go home to a mouse! I had no problems with the tablet whatsoever. I found it much easier to draw and paint in both Illy and PS. My new computer will definately have...

Thanks kjv1611....that was an awesome comparison. I know my friend would probably enjoy building that system...but I don't think he has the time. He has a very, very busy IT job that takes up all his time...but I will definately run this info by him and see if he is at all interested in doing...

Wonderful!! Perhaps I will consider having my friend build the machine for me. Thanks everyone!

Thanks Nelveticus and kjv1611...all that info really helps me alot.

Thanks everyone....that gives me a much better idea of what to look for. I was leaning towards an HP since I had a customized one at my job several years ago and it was pretty solid. Other than the $$$, why would a Core i7 or i5 be better choice than a Quad core?

I would prefer to just buy a machine and then have a friend of mine who is techy customize it for me if needed. I'm hoping to not spend more than $2000.

If money was no object, I would just buy a MacPro desktop for my graphic design work. But it looks like my budget will only get me a PC. So I'd appreciate some solid and simple advice for a brand of PC that will work for me. I'll be using the Adobe Creative Suite CS4 (Photoshop, Illustrator...

Depending on your LiveTrace settings, it will also put a vector background around your traced object. So you have to delete that background before you can extrude your graphic. Use the Direct Selection tool to select the background and delete it.

Make sure you have EXPANDED the live traced image, then you can just select the Direct Select Tool and click on the white background and DELETE.
