Biggest pain in the ass!

[jimbo]

I often have to deal with people sending me some of the most bogus crap to work with. From Painmaker to Powerpoint. Not a day goes by that I don't get something to make me want to blow my brains out. My question is this:

Which is the biggest worthless pain in the ass program:

In Design or Publisher?

The only thing going for Quark is that you can easily bootleg it via a 100mb ZIP disc. If you are using a PC. Just copy the program folder, and the quark folder from your windows/start menu directory. Paste them on any computer in the same place, and you're good to go. No serial number needed. Take that Quark bastards!

Quark is THEE worst program ever... EVER.

I'd rather work in Paint 2.0 than Quark.

Hell, my graphic design punk band even has a song called
"I dont' know which I hate more, Quark or you"

I hear InDesign is the shit coz it's like
only the good parts of Quark combined
with the good parts of Illustrator and
Photoshop. It's just a hassle for printers
coz when it rips to print it EATS the
memory like crazy. I'm supposd to be
getting it soon to try out.

In Design gets locked up more than Robert Downey Jr.
Clunky, and full of error messages for all things it promises it can do. Piece of shit.

Biggest pain today for me was I spent like 3 hrs rendering this barbarian dude, lotsa dirt on his skin, killer lighting, full facial hair, rendered strand by strand, all kindsa stuff.

I've been using this new techinque in P-shop to color it.

Didn't notice till it was waaaay too late but I had alrady merged one of my most important layers which held the lineart. It was un-doable.

So now i just lost like 3 hrs...

such a pain.....

Gotta go salvage....

The biggest pain in the ass? Well, Quark sucks (just try to call Customer Service sometime...). InDesign is a fucking great piece of software, once you get it working and start sending all of your print files as PDFs.

But the worst we get here in newspaper land is small business clients using Word to layout their "Camera-Ready" ads. With 72 (and sometimes 60)dpi images... "it looks good when I print it at home"

Friggin morons...
