ILLEGAL DOWNLOAD SITES

Yes there are still some that are causing us grief. They provide a free download of older collections. Since they are hosted from ares such as Russia, the Middle East and the like, there's nothing we can do about it, as these and others do not respect copyright laws. The unfortunate part for those who download from these sites, other than putting themselves in legal jeopardy, is that these illegal sites invariably load a virus on your computer, usually a keystroke one, so they can track your passwords, credit card numbers and more. Downloaders, beware.

 A FAMOUS ODE TO MOTHERS

All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That's his.

CHAINED AND COLLARED

When a blazon calls for "chained and collared", the chain must be reflexed over the back, as shown in the greyhound sample. This applies to all positions including rampant. The chain is in the Design folder and you need only ungroup it, and place the two pieces, as shown.

THE WORLDS LARGEST PROVIDER OF HERALDRY ART

Corel Draw Logo

We are leaving this help tip up, as more and more of you are upgrading

your Corel Draw software to X3 or X4

Corel Draw has changed some default settings in X3 and X4 that can render your vector images black, do the same for your F9 preview and in the case of X4 display your image excessively dark.

 

Fixes:

  • Top Command Bar/View Select “enhanced” and not “enhanced with overprints”;

  • Top Command Bar/Tools/Color Management Color Mode for Effects-should be set at RGB (not CMYK); 

  • Top Command Bar/Tools Select “Save Settings as default” ;

  • When importing AG graphics into X4, make sure you first group your image before using the F9 full screen preview (X3 imports the graphic already grouped).

 

Adobe Illustrator Fix for CDR files using HSB color model

 

Some Art was created using the HSB color model (white). Illustrator CS and greater does not recognize the HSB color model, and shows those parts as black when opened. We have converted most of the Art to the RGB color model, but you may find the odd image that we missed.

 

FIX

ungroup the image and select the black, and using your mouse click on White in your color palette. If you can't figure it out, email the office naming the image file, and we'll do it for you. Note: the glitch applies to CDR files and not WMF files.
