Thanks for another great issue, guys. I especially liked the Fresh Start article in which I found a few new tricks I shall apply in retrospect and upon re-install (if I ever have to again).
One, IMHO very important, tip was missing and that is to make a back-up of your settings once you have finished. Saves a lot of work when you do have to reinstall.
Anyway, 5 stars from me!
Hi, is this magazine only available on the US store? I am trying to find it in the UK newstand but it isnt there?
Many thanks
David
Hi David: Are you looking in the Apple iTunes store? No, InDesign Magazine is a PDF magazine that members can download from this site (follow the link in the article, or click Magazine in the nav bar at the top of the page). We hope you consider becoming a member.
