Making a Custom Workspace in FlexiSIGN(r) 8

FlexiSIGN(r) 8 allows you to create your own custom shortcut keys and icon shortcuts. Just select the FILE menu and then choose WORKSPACE>CUSTOM. This will open a dialog box that allows you to set new shortcuts! After you set the shortcuts you want, simple save the new workspace under a new name.

I've made one with a new zoom tool called 1:1. This tool allows you to zoom anything in Flexi(8) to life size. This is handy if you want to say check out what an image will look like at life size on your monitor!

Download the free Givemehelp workspace and place it in the C:/Program Files/FlexiSIGN 8 Profiles directory.

Free Scanning Resolution Calculator

I can across a really cool tool the other day from Digital Light & Color. It's a Windows scanning resolution calculator. You enter the viewing distance, the size of the original and the output size you want as well as the resolution of your printer, and it will tell you what resolution to use when scanning the image on your scanner.

In addition, there are some digital camera ICC profiles that could be useful in Flexi() if you are using a camera for your artwork.
