Waiting for your inputs ;-)

Compare two Indesign Documents and then preview the differencies

For whatever reasons, here you are with two Indesign documents heavily similar. How much are they different ?

Maybe it's just a tiny coma but no way to dig into 200 pages without loosing an eye !

What if you just could preview them ?

Amazing ressources to come !

Hi, a short message to inform you we have excellent ressources to come.

But then, why aren't they on Scriptopedia yet?

Answer : Eddy & moi only have two hands and a lot of work.
But be sure we do our best to offer you new scripts in best time.

If you can't wait that long, here is a collection that I have (re)discovered this day and that will join our library soon. Thanks Hiroyuki Sato for his agreement

You may also have a look on Kasyan Servetsky & Marc Autret websites. I hope I can offer all their scripts very quickly


And don't forget you are very welcome to come by and give a hand ;-)

Resize all images in your document to 100%

It's a good idea to avoid extreme scaling both in expanding and reduction. And you may have to stay around 85/115% ratios.
But the best thing shouldn't be to let the pictures 100% scale ?

Yes but, your document is now compler, all your pictures placed and the last thing you want is spend time modifying all the pictures one by one. So who cares after all, I make my PDF, and let the publisher deals with that. If you do so, it's probably meaning you like playing to the russian roulette (can I just say that ?).

Consciously letting important scales values in Indesign, You are giving to the PDF Engine the control over your image resampling and it's like asking the baker to lay your carpet. And Photoshop does that so well...

Ok but It's not tellin me how  to resize all my images in one step! Just use this script from Kasyan Servetsky that will ease your life !

So here is one of his scripts that will make your day updating all your links and save you from a fatal nervous breakdown.

A few very interesting scripts & actions for Photoshop.

While surfing, I found a very interesting script that lead me toward its editor'website : AV Bros.
This site offers a lots of scripts & actions for Photoshop®. A few one are really great.
Some are free, others commercial but prices stay reasonable.
As the site's ressources can't be offered here (even the free ones), we will only introduce here their website. What I can say fo far, is that I have successfully used AV Bros. Circumscriber 1.1
