Re: What graphics tasks do you perform?

[Mike Starr <mike -at- writestarr -dot- com>]

I use Visio for creating and modifying line drawings, block diagrams, 
and flow charts.

I do a lot of screen captures; I don't use a special tool to grab the 
screen capture... I use {Alt}+{PrntScrn} and then paste it into Paint 
Shop Pro 9, my tool of choice for modifying raster images. I don't 
generally resize photos although I may crop them and save them as PNG 
because most high resolution photos I've worked with are TIFF and have 
huge file sizes. Cropping them and saving them as PNG reduces the file 
size dramatically.

I sometimes use Adobe Illustrator if I'm able to get the original files 
for logos and such. I revise as needed, save the Illustrator file then 
export from Illustrator as PNG.

Whenever I use any graphic in a document, I insert it by reference. I 
never paste graphics.

Best Regards,

Mike
