Below are some of your comments on the site and my writing. Please
let me know what you think about individual reviews and articles
and the site as a whole.

| By far the best source of independent commentary
on DTP and graphics that I have found is the writings of Tom
Arah. You'll find excellent stuff -- product reviews, master
classes, and crystal-clear briefings on abstruse pre-press
issues (trapping, the nature of PostScript, etc.) -- on his
website: |
| Roger |
| I've just discovered your site
and now don't think I can live without it. I found myself
printing out all of your back articles and reading them closely
-- your clarity and thoroughness have been such a great help
with my muddled, overwhelmed DTP-learning state. Also I really
appreciate the enormous research you've done in comparing
numerous products against each other, giving an overview of
how to go about something, informing about updates, latest
methods, best practices -- all that stuff that usually gets
me stuck reading through too many websites to get information
(and never having time to get to work!).... |
| Ellen |
| Great site for reviews/DTP tutorials etc - heaps
of great stuff here. Worth a visit! Over a hundred of Tom
Arah's design software reviews, articles and tutorials are
available. |
| QPA - association
of quality printers |
| I just stumbled on your site - it's a revelation,
and I shall be spending a lot more time there. Your writing
is very clear and comprehensible to a non-professional |
| John |
| What can I say except thank you, thank you,
thank you, thank you. I am new to the digital world of image
manipulation and I was fortunate enough to stumble across
your wonderful web site. I found your writing style refreshing
and your reviews are succinct so that the reader can come
away feeling like they gained enough knowledge to make a decision
as to what to purchase. When you are new to the game as I
am this information is invaluable.

| The Big Back Pat: There aren't many writers on computer graphics
whose knowledge and judgment I respect as much as my own. But
Tom Arah, a Scotsman residing at www.designer-info.com, comes
very close. All right, all right, I grudgingly admit it: he
probably knows even more than I.
Tom Arah reviews big and small graphics apps and writes general
knowledge articles, all in depth and with great understanding
of graphics technology. I urge you bookmark www.designer-info.com
and check out his columns on a regular basis (they are updated
once or twice per month).

| I love your site. I have been searching quite
some time for a site that can give the real "skinny"
on design products.
You give both in depth and impartial reviews... a rarity.
Thanks. |
| Jeff |
| Great, Awesome, Informative website!! (designer-info.com)
I wish there were more websites like yours for the rest of
the special application software seeking world.
|
| Raymond |
| Thanks for you tips. Thanks for your generosity
and sharing your knowledge. Can I come see you? (Only kidding
-- wish I could!!) |
| Carol |
| I really enjoyed reading the reviews of the
latest and greatest of the graphics world. I found them to
be thorough and refreshingly unbiased. |
| Tim |
| Thank you for taking the time and effort to
create and maintain this site. I found more useful information
there in a half-hour than I have in other sites in several
hours, and I shall be pleased to make future purchases through
the links on your site. |
| Sue Ellen |
| Great site. Very clear and systematic, pleasant
to look at and easy to navigate. The ratings are simple and
the pictures of the reviewed software were especially helpful.
|
| Helena |
| I've read a lot of review sites, and I can honestly
say that yours is the best. Your articles are thorough, easy
to understand, and seem to uncover key issues that others
miss. You are doing fantastic work here, helping others learn
about graphic applications. I recommend your site to everyone. |
| Andrew |
| If you want to learn more of the technicalities
of digital imaging, benefit from his tutorials or read his
extensive reviews and articles, then Tom is, in my opinion,
the best. |
| Gordon |
| Tom, I'd like to send some feedback about your
site. It's an essential resource for anybody interested
in design and visual arts. It's obviously one of the
best spots on design you can find on the web... Congratulations
again for your site. VERY good. |
| Joan |
| If you were here, I'd kiss you. What a glorious
find you are! I'm going to concentrate on it so I can learn
more. Thank you ever so much for the site -- I will spread
the word.

| Patricia |
| Tom, I chanced upon your site and have enjoyed
reading some of the articles. I thought they were very intelligently
written and display a remarkable breadth. Anyway, just wanted
to provide some well-deserved encouragement... |
| Craig |
| I just came across your articles & reviews
... what a bite of fresh air, so thanks.. You are not only
extremely knowledgable of what you talk about...but also daring
to say it loud and clear. |
| Giordano |
| Thanks for a great series of articles. I am
trying to get to grips with prepress etc. to produce a brochure,
so your lessons were invaluable. They are very well written
and illustrative. And amusing! I have been sending snippets
to friends :) |
| Ayesha |
| Thanks for all the information, I loved your
site, and will tell others |
| Lee |
| Nice work! Very informative, with lots of useful
information and tutorials. |
| Gerry |
| I have just discovered your site, and spent
too much time reading a handful of your excellent articles!
As a very technically minded designer/illustrator, it
is highly rare that I read articles on digital graphics with
which I can find no faults - but yours seem quite impeccable!
I look forward to reading the rest of your pieces, as
well as your future pieces. |
| Klaus |
| Very good site !!! Thank you and keep up the
good work. |
| Eric F. |
| Tom - fantastic site. At last everything is
clear! I've been liberated from the burden of all these
questions none of the other graphics reveiwers seem to
address - certainly not in as down to earth a fashion. |
| Ken |
| You have a nice, well developed site there.
I want to come back and visit some more. |
| Kelly |
| Let me unequivocally recommend to you and others
the writings of Tom Arah. You won't find better writing
on the subject anywhere. The coverage is comprehensive,
including masterclasses and wonderfully clear explanatory
features (addressing questions like "What is PostScript?",
"What is PDF"?", etc.) as well as product
reviews. If, like most of us, you've ever felt mystified
by DTP, graphics, fonts and the arcane world of pre-press
work, there's no better place to start. |
| Roger |
| Tom, I've read your reviews of CorelDraw 9,
CorelXARA2, Expression1, Freehand8, and Illustrator8.
Thought you were right on target with all of them. Your
writing is first rate and I appreciate the opportunity to
read your reviews. |
| Edward |
| Just wanted to say that I found your pages extremely
interesting and useful, especially the articles and
the long reviews. Keep up the good work |
| Anders |
| MANY THANKS for the expert advice. Your website
is EXCELLENT and VERY INFORMATIVE. Thanks for not "talking
down" to your audience, and for not trying to "sell"
every item you review (some people are in love with every
new toy). You're doing a GREAT JOB, so keep it up! |
| Paul |
| I found your site full of useful information.
I even downloaded 7 or 8 articles to read on spare time. |
| Stan |
| Thank you for putting online so much information
on desktop publishing. |
| Stasy |
| Thank you for your informative web site! Now I know
what .psd and .pdf and .tiff and .png etc are all about! |
| Steve |
| Excellent site Tom - very informative and well written. |
