When to Stop Adding ColorsWritten by Maricon Williams
In article How many colors should I use? By mydesignprimer.com, it differentiated two color printing methods: Process Color Printing and Spot Color Printing.“Process Color Printing With process printing, one has flexibility of a wide spectrum of color choices. This is also printing method that will allow one to use full-color photographs while paying for just four inks (cyan, magenta, yellow and black). The only downside to this method is that colors aren't nearly as vibrant as spot colors and a designer may not be able to match a particular color exactly. Spot Color Printing Typically, spot color printing uses a colored ink system known as Pantone Matching System (PMS). There are hundreds of colors to choose from in this system and some include extra bright colors, dark colors, fluorescent and even metallic colors. Basically, any color you can imagine, you can find as a spot color choice. The downside is that, no matter how many spot colors are used, you can't create full-color photographs.” It was also asked if both processes can be used in a single printing job. And here was answer: Certainly. People do it all time. However, more inks that you use, more expensive cost to print it. Before a job is designed, it's a good idea to talk to your printer and to your designer. They can help you decide how many colors you can afford and how many are needed to accomplish your goals. Whatever your choice, with solid planning, you'll be able to make most of what your budget can afford by using colors effectively.

Adobe Dimensions 3.0 is primarily designed for Windows operating system. It is an easy yet powerful 3D rendering tool for producing quality 3D artwork, offering unique ability to create both vector and raster graphics. It integrates with Photoshop and Illustrator, so you can drag and drop artwork among three programs when necessary. For your information, you can turn any object into quality 3D artworks using Adobe Dimensions 3.0 because it's first 3D program to offer both raster and crisp, resolution-independent PostScript output. In addition, it is easy to learn because it utilizes same terminologies, tools and keyboard shortcuts you might know from other Adobe products. Adobe Dimensions 3.0 has extensive editing features that provide greater control when defining attributes and arranging 3D objects. Its ability to edit in a preview mode truly speeds up design process. More so, Object Browser simplifies object management by providing a single repository for object attributes and a place to name, show, hide, lock and unlock objects. Furthermore, you can also design sophisticated 3D objects using this software. You can take advantage of extent of creative tools it has to create stunning 3D effects. It lets you wrap both vector art and raster images around any 3D shape and combine simple objects to create complex shapes. It also gives you greater control, allowing you to edit while previewing and designate custom camera angles for both viewing and output. It offers more flexibility than raster-format-only 3D programs and a notably shorter learning curve, too.
