Graphics Techniques for Technical Writers

Technical writers all too often need to wear more than one hat.

This day-long seminar is all about handling computer graphics, and helping writers deal with the complexities of document illustration.

What's the difference between TIFF, JPEG, and WMF? How can I make better screen captures? What about compression?

The seminar answers your questions, helps eliminate confusion about graphics formats, and provides workflow suggestions.
