we don't concern ourselves with color exactness here.<BR>Close enough is good

disappointed and disheartened that so much development has gone into the core
product, and yet Maplex remains a separate extension. The message of ESRI
seems to be COMMUNICATING with maps - and yet - what could be more BASIC for
communicating geographic information than the LABELS, fer Heaven's sake? All
the time and effort to add so much depth to 9.2 make me think that the ESRI
product is like a completely loaded, state of the art Lexus. You know -
complete with tinted windows, sunroof, seat warmers, GPS, satellite radio,
just anything and everything any driver would want. But I have to pay extra
for the WHEELS. See? "</P></BLOCKQUOTE>

hand...<BR>No - I wasn't aware of the ArcPress ripper. <BR>I'll have to look
into that..thanks!</P>

curiosity, and as a Mac user frustrated by Windows' color handling, how do you
(or DO you) get a closer match between color on-screen and output? I have to
maintain a set of map books for each printer (Canon, Savin, Epson) because
output color differs so much between devices.<BR><BR>As to your question, I just
work within the limitations of ArcMap, constantly reminded of its graphics
design weaknesses.<BR>You're probably aware that ArcMap 9.1 (at least) comes
with the ArcPress ripper.<BR><BR>Tim<BR>Tift County GA<BR>(who grew up in Harbor

your opinions here.<BR><BR>We have a need to manipulate our maps graphically
beyond what ArcMap can do.<BR>(Or - what it can do - software that is
specifically for graphics can do better/faster/more efficiently)<BR><BR>Do
any of the rest of you use something besides an ESRI product to manipulate your
maps?<BR>If so - what?<BR><BR>If you have a graphics program - do you then use
any other software, like the Avenza products - as a "bridge" between the
two?<BR><BR>Thank you,<BR>Nonie Castro<BR>GIS Specialist<BR>Cox Target
