I was wondering what the best way to accomplish this is if you are using Quark? Is Photoshop CS version now capable of creating text and the drop shadow that is clean when placed in Quark?

Thanks!

Step 1: You can’t. Quark does not support layered files. This is not a Photoshop issue; it’s a Quark issue, and no version of Photoshop helps.

You really have two choices in this situation:

1. Take the entire background, merge it with the text and drop shadow in a single image, and place that merged image into Quark as one picture; or

2. Use InDesign rather than Quark.

More and more of my clients are opting for choice 2.

Indeed. I was floored when my mate, a Quark Black-Belt Wizard turned to InDesign. I never thought I’d see the day, but her best printer is all for it. Strange, very strange.

Not that strange. InDesign is just that much better.

Really.

Previously, I’d used Page Breaker. (I had had some experience of Quark in the past, which was why I didn’t use it). Then a few months ago, after someone recommended it, I switched to InDesign. It just makes things so easy!

No – not strange at all.

I don’t use either programme myself but thought you might be interested in this snippet?

"Incidentally, Hearst Magazines, publishers of Cosmopolitan, Popular Mechanics, Marie Claire, House Beautiful have changed to InDesign."

This came from a newsletter that may also interest you – very infrequent though it is!!
