I posted this in the photoshop tribe... thought I would try here as well...
I am using Photoshop 7 & Quark 6.1 on OSX 10.3.7. When I create a complex clipping path using the pen tool in Photoshop, I often use the opt key and click on a point when I want to only have one beziar curve arm... (I don't know if I worded that correctly) anyway, when I import the image as a tiff into Quark, where ever I have a 1 armed curve, it makes a straight line and the clipping path is all mucked up. When I import the same Image (although it is the PSD file) with the same clipping path into Illustrator it looks good.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any solutions? Right now I recreate the clipping path by making my path into a selection and then created a path from the selection... etc. It's just additional steps that I would rather not take, it also creates additional points, slower print time and sometimes causes a different issue in Quark.
Should I post this somewhere else?

Fri, January 21, 2005 - 9:15 PMThe problem is more than likely with quark, you may want to get the free upgrade to 6.5 to see if that helps. Saving the file as an eps may help. Switching to indesign night be the best idea. -

Re: Photoshop 7 with Quark 6.1 Clipping Paths Photoshop 7 with Quark 6.1 Clipping Paths
Sat, January 22, 2005 - 3:16 PMI'd have to agree on the InDesign thing. Main reason = better integration between all the Adobe packages...they're made to work together. Amazing stuff...the more I use it, the more I love it...I've left Quark two years ago after 13 years and have never looked back once.

Re: Photoshop 7 with Quark 6.1 Clipping Paths Photoshop 7 with Quark 6.1 Clipping Paths
Mon, January 24, 2005 - 9:53 AMI've tried the .esp... I will see if I can get the upgrade... I am stuck in corporate BS, even when upgrades are free, they throw a fit. I've mentioned the InDesign listed several reasons why it is a better application... they just purchase Quark 6.1 right before I arrived... futility. We shall see. Thanks for your help. -

Mon, January 24, 2005 - 12:53 PMIf they complain to quark they can probably get their money back. Not only is the program not as feature rich as Indesign, it is so unstable that it barely handles what it was advertised to do (or just won't). Quark knows that they have made a lemon here. -

Mon, January 24, 2005 - 12:54 PMIn fact, I'd rather use quark 5 in classic because at least thats mostly stable. If you still have an old vers of quark, you should see how that takes the file.
