Q. I scanned a drawing on my hp printer and its in pdf format so I can't post it on facebook or photobucket. I've been trying to change it to another format for awhile now but nothing working! And no matter how many times I copy it to the pictures file it won't stay there! Its so annoying! Help please!
A. Open the picture so it shows on the desk top.
Hit the print screen button. This copies it to the computer clipboard.
Open the paint program
Paste the picture into paint. Press the Ctrl Key and the V key at the same time.
Click on the File button (top of page) and choose Save As
When the save as box comes up click on the down arrow under save as file type and choose jpeg as the file type.
Click save and it is now a jpeg or the type of file you chose.
There are other ways to do it but this will require NO additional software. As paint is built into all versions of Windows.

What do you think is the best brand of computers?
Q. For a desk top computer.
In terms of memory, virus protection, and all around uses.
Also needs to work for Microsoft xp.

A. It all depends on the intended useage. Thats like asking "whats the best kind of car?", it's personal preference (and to some extent advertising). I have been building and reselling computers for a very long time. Of all the manufacturers I have resold for, the best company I dealt with was Acer. They have a pretty wide range of computers and pricing, and you can still get them with Windows XP Professional. As far as a low to mid priced PC goes, that's where I would look.
If you're looking for something that will be upgradeable for the future (which most cheap PC's aren't), look into having a computer custom built.
Most OEM (HP, Dell, Acer, Gateway) computers don't come will full versions of software, you have to pay for it (extra). Don't bother getting Norton or McAfee for an antivirus, they both perform horribly and slow computers down. AVG Internet Security works VERY well, and cost half what Norton costs. Well worth the money.
For a new PC, look for Windows XP, 2GB Ram, a DVD+/-RW drive, at least 250MB hard drive. If you're looking for a complete system, get at least a 19" LCD. As for processor, if you're looking to save some money, go with an AMD Dual Core X2 5000 or better, otherwise an Intel dual core 2Ghz or better should suffice for most day to day tasks.
Hope that helps.

What would I need to build a good graphic design studio?
Q. I have an idea but would like to hear from you what are the elements to building a good studio for graphic design work. What software, computer and art supplies would you recommend or have at home. Thank you to all who answer.
A. my studio is a relatively small one, but it gets the job done.
I have a 15" Apple MacBook Pro. The ease of use, non-virus and the power of two NVIDEA Graphics processors all help to create quickly and efficiently. I also have Adobe CS4 Design Premium. This gives me tools I need for print, web, and interactive design.
I also use a Wacom Graphics Tablet. This is also a must. Drawing with the mouse is a lot like drawing with a bar of soap, so having a tool to draw directly on a screen is huge. I use thw Bamboo Fun tablet. It's got a smaller price and footprint than the more widely known Intous tablets, but it still has ample room to draw. I use a 4x6" tablet. I studied Printmaking in college, so I'm comfortable drawing on a small space.
I also have all sorts of books and publications. these help me get inspired, get ideas for color, layout, pretty much anything.
I use my dining room table as a drafting table as well. For real layout I have a metal meter stick, a T-Square, an X-Acto cutting board that sharpens my blade when I cut, foam board, drawing paper, etc. I also have a sketchbook and Prismacolor Woodless graphite, which I find lasts longer than wooden pencils and behaves a lot like charcoal, but more refined and controlable.
I also have canvas, acrylic paint, plaster, beeswax, and anything else I need to create whatever I need-backgrounds, mini sculptures, etc. A lot of it I have leftover from past projects and college, but some of it I'm about to use soon.
I have an HP Officejet pro printer. It gets the job done, and makes fantastic copies, but I'm about to upgrade to a capable Hp printer. The upgrade is mostly due to my new format of work, which is 11x14" size and larger.
I use two camera. One is a very good Kodak Point-and-Shoot, the other is a Nikon D60. Camera like anything else are just tools. It's all in how you use them.
On my desk I also have bamboo plants, small European acrylic toys from my fiaceé and anything else I like. I live here too, y'know?
Like artists, we all have very different work areas. Some are as pristine as museums. Some are messes from Hell. Most (like mine) are somewhere in between. But they are unique to each of us.
hope this helps.
