TextArt (the app that would become Create) was the first (ever) third party app for NEXTSTEP.lets look at a couple interesting mile stones.

And even though it hasn't replaced GoLive, I've put more pages up on the web made in Create than I have in all the years I've been using GoLive (and PageMill before that).īut quite honestly, you are diminishing Create by trying to pigeon hole it as a web-publishing tool when it is far more.Īnd so we don't diminish exactly how important Create has been in the history of Mac OS X. But the magazine isn't made in AppleWorks, it is made in QuarkXPress.įrom my point of view, Create has replaced (pretty much completely) my need for Illustrator and QuarkXPress (or InDesign) on my system. Right now I know some one who is working on editing stories for their next issue who is typing away in AppleWorks. I provide support services for a few local magazines and know their work flows. Composition was always done some place else and brought into them for page arrangement.Īnd that is how a lot of professionals work. I've used TextEdit as my primary word processor for the last 5 years). For one thing I never typed directly into either of those (and I don't into Create either. I come from a background of using PageMaker (started with 2.0) and QuarkXPress (started with 3.32). More to the point, what do you think is missing from TextEdit?

Just wanted to add that for full disclosure.Ĭlick to expand.Well, when I think of Create, web publishing is third on my list of it's strengths (with illustration and page layout coming in first and second).īut maybe you can tell us what features you feel are missing.

I did some pages in OPENSTEP, but most were done in either Rhapsody or Mac OS X. This is because my OPENSTEP system has far more limited space and it is supposed to be used as a school resource. * It should be noted that I didn't hold myself to the same standard with the NeXT section of my site. I know I wouldn't push a product that I didn't actually use.

The Quick Start Guide for this software may not seem like much, but using the software to make it would have shown faith in their application. and to show that Rhapsody can be used productively. To give you an example of this philosophy, everything on my Rhapsody Resource Page (almost 120 pages) was created using only Rhapsody computers*. The thing is, I put together How Tos and the like all the time in Create (which is a combination page layout, illustration and web design app) using the same features (just more developed). Hopefully, Swift Publisher will push Apple to develop Pages.app FASTER, or maybe kill it?Ĭlick to expand.Well, I emphasized the features that would have been needed to put together the two page Quick Start Guide. Import JPEG, PDF, EPS, GIF, PNG, TIFF images. Export your documents to PDF, TIFF and JPEG. Control transparency, tint images with colors, mask, crop, tile and rotate them. Background and foreground layers help to create and edit advanced designs. Support for multipage documents with the ability to rotate each page on a fly. Adjustable layout guides are used for precise object placement. Flow text from column to column or wrapping text around the object in realtime. 23,000+ impressive images and 100+ masks. About 60 professionally designed templates for different types of documents (flyers, newsletters, brochures, letterheads, cards, menus, etc). I tested it, and I confirm the following description: However it seems to be a strong competitor for Pages.app. As a 1.0 app, the brand new Swift Publisher ( ) certainly lacks a few editing features, like the ones we use in long complex documents.
