Welcome Mychal. Awesome way to spell your name.
We don't start bashing until you've made a few more posts. :wink:

I never introduced myself. My name is Jarrod, and I've been working in prepress since April of last year, when I moved from Oregon back to Indiana.

I really enjoy graphic design (which I know how to do properly now) and web design. I also paint and do random art that you can check out at my web site: www.jarrodmorgan.com. About due for another update.

Also, a big thanks to everyone here. I've learned a ton and laughed my ass off in the meantime.

Hi All.

Just joined this site moments ago. At first glance it looks great, I have a feeling I will pick up a lot of good information here.

I am the Graphic Production Manager at a Children’s Book Publisher in Cambridge MA. To quickly sum up that role, I am the “technical file guy” and the “photoshop guy”. While I am told by my printers / repro houses that I supply them with excellent files, I still feel like there is so much more that I need to know. So that is what brought me here.

Welcome Gregg! There's a wealth of knowledge here, you just have to sort through the rest of it to find them. :P
Look forward to your contributions to the site. Photoshop is one of my favorite programs.

Hi there

Actually I have no clue why im here..
I have no prepress experience what so ever, and i'm not sure if I need it.

But i would like to scratch the surface anyway!
I know my way around in Photoshop, douing retouch and manipulations. It was even at the napp forums I heard about this forum.

So just out of curiosity were should I start learning about this huge subject? books, topics or other to get me startet. Or more importantly will I be able to use the knowledge from this forum when I only have a small inkjet printer and atm only rarely send print projeckts to a lab/printer?

(Also I'm not native english so I might make more than normal typos..)

A little personal info:
Im young (21) and i live in Copenhagen, Denmark. Curently a student but I'm hoping some day to make a living as eather a photographer or a retoucher (maybe a mix).

Ill look around and see if i can make any sence of all the huge knowledge there seems to be in this forum.
