Britain's best-selling Macintosh magazine

Welcome to MacFormat's home page. MacFormat is published every four weeks, with reviews of all the latest Mac products and hints and tips for every Mac owner. Whether you're a veteran or a novice, we'll help you get more out of your Macintosh, whatever you use it for! In MacFormat 38 we look at the topic we get asked about more than any other: printing. This issue's cover feature should answer all your questions about how printing works and give you enough practical tips to improve your output, whether you're using a top-end PostScript laser printer or the humblest inkjet. Also on the reviews front this issue, we explore Bryce 2, the new version of the exciting landscape-creator software from MetaTools; we test the impressive miroMotion DC20 capture card, which makes Desktop video even more affordable (so long as you have a PCI Mac, that is); and we put two Photoshop challengers through their paces - Live Picture 2.5 vs xRes 2.0, head-to-head. Is either the one to choose? Issue 38 - on sale now Alex Summersby, Editor Contact: macformat@futurenet.co.uk
