Useful Apps, Utilities & Tips for Designers: Part 2
Summary
The first part of this series, written quite a while ago now, covered a couple of utilities that I still use today – an image resizer and program for taking screenshots. I’ll cover re-sizing again here, plus a few other tips, tricks, and tools that I have since added to my go-to list of best practice design techniques. If your machine is running slowly, it could be that it’s out of RAM and if that’s the case, Photoshop and those unnecessarily large photos are probably to blame. In a similar way to the backup of apps, I keep logs of tips, program settings and keyboard shortcuts which come in handy when refreshing or upgrading to another PC. (If you were wondering, I’m exactly as much fun in real life as my backups of PC utilities and programs settings would suggest!)
