PC and Mac use in color prepress design

Frequently encountered, Photoshop image leg bottom, the path to be saved as EPS format; Freehand processing of the logo or special effects are also stored in the EPS format, etc. Every contact with the color printing design and advertising design industry friends are on the Adobe's desktop The Publishing System Suite recognizes that the software is available in two versions for Mac and for Windows. Most of the friends use only one of the versions. This article is based on the PC's Windows 98 and Mac's OS 7.52. A comparison of the different points in the process is used. This paper focuses on the use of PCs and uses the PC to simulate the Mac and compatibility.
First, the use of the keyboard control keys Mac (Mac) keyboard control keys are Command (Command), Option (optional) keys and Control (Control) keys; on the PC keyboard Ctrl corresponds to Command, Alt corresponds to Option, The right mouse button corresponds to Control+Click. The rest of the keys are basically the same.
Second, the PC's right mouse button in the suite of the use of the Mac's mouse is a one-button operation, and the function of the composite operation with the Cont key, is rarely used by the operator, and the PC's mouse right-click operation is simple, powerful This is a major feature of PCs superior to Macs in software use. The following is an example.
In the process of using Photoshop 4.0, right-click on the opened image and a floating bar shortcut command appears. This command combines the control board options and the shortcut commands of the pull-down menu that are needed during the current tool use. Combination, so that the operator does not have to find a command function to control board and pull-down menu to find, simplify the operation and save time.
When PageMaker 6.0C processes documents, the right-click function is not as powerful as Photoshop 4.0. It can only convert between the actual size of the document and the full-screen display, but this is much more convenient than the magnification tool, and it is also better than the keyboard. Fast way.
In Freehand 7.0, the functionality of the right mouse button is similar to that used in Photoshop 4.0. It also integrates menu commands and shortcut commands, but without it being complex, there are only two cases: when there is a selection object and no selection object.
It can be seen from the above examples that the right-click function of the PC cannot be ignored. The same level of proficiency is used to handle the same files for PCs and Macs. PCs are much faster than Macs, and the price can be half as cheap!
