NoneMoreNegative posted:I used a Mac in '96 running Photoshop 3, that was not a needs-suiting experience at all. pre-layers versions of photoshop [I think they added them in 95ish] were a whole different scene, like you'd have to plan out what you wanted to do in advance, have all your original files ready and do a single "run" where you couldn't really gently caress up because the undo cache only had 1 or 2 steps in it. If you made a big mistake you could frequently have to start from scratch plus a basic unsharp mask would take 5-10 minutes to run

carry on then posted:i can't imagine doing desktop publishing in black and white you could do color, Quark would do placeholders of color scans [but no preview just a box with an X in it] and you'd just use your pantone swatch book to figure out spot colors of things [the old ones had perforations so you could hold the swatch right on the page]  at that point you only printed in the office as a preview and you'd still have to go to the press check [frequently at 11pm-3am] to get the offset plates tweaked right I only did a little bit of color design on B&W but I did plenty of B&W-only stuff in high school, lots of fun things like hand-tweaking postscript code to get various "textures" I do not miss those days

infernal machines posted:i bet you had a dozen dead zip drives too. nah the early SCSI ones were actually pretty reliable, iomega just sucked at scaling up so the cheaper they got the worse the hardware was jaz drives were cursed from day 1 though, gently caress those forever

GATOS Y VATOS posted:poo poo I have a friend who's done layout for years and he uses Illustrator if you don't need lots of re-flowing text or you're under 50 pages it's not bad but doing page numbers, ToCs, footnotes, etc. by hand is kind of crazy illustrator is the best design tool ever created by humans indesign is so easy though just plop all your .ais into a project and let it do preflight and poo poo
