PLAMO: Re-WiredWolf - Plastic Modelling, Share & Learn

Hi guys, need some help.


My school is currently using Adobe Illustrator 10 and Photoshop 7, but my home versions of the 2 programs are CS versions, and I also realised that my timetable crashes with all the availiable slots of comp lab usage, so that means I cant do my homework at school and need to bring it home..

So the question is, can I save a file in CS and open it up in older versions? This is quite important because I need to submit a homework and I can only submit it once, don't want to screw it up or something.

Nope. You can however, save it as a backward compatible file, eg Illustrator 10, and then work on it at the lab.

Just go to File -> Export -> Illustrator Legacy(ai) under the drop down menu. As for PS, you can save as TIF, eps or JPG. If image quality is important, save as a TIF file unless you want total compatibility, in which case, save as a JPG.

Ah, thanks for the quick replies So that means that I can still save it as backward compatible file, but some options will be missing? Like if I used some advance tools or items in CS, but its not present in version 10, then when I export it, and open up with Version 10, the file will not load those items?

Yep, in short, that's the compromise.

No problem with that, since I will be following what the book ask me to do, so most probably wouldnt be using the newer tools and options.

Thanks a lot
