    0:55 But doesn't that give us a rectangle in a ratio of exactly 2:3? The Golden Ratio is roughly 1:1.6, or 2:3.2, so the rectangle should be a little "longer". Right?

    For the first hack, you can actually input simple equations in the number bar instead of having to open up the calculator app and computing the result.
    e.g. adding "+180" to 76 and pressing enter will show the sum of the two.

    On tip #3:
    The kerning of a professional typeface is set by the designer and these settings will apply when you choose "Metrics". Using "Optical", the kerning will be automatically adjusted by Adobe, wich isn't always better.
    So I would recommend: For professional fonts, make the font designers happy and choose "Metrics" as they intended. Any other free or badly kerned font, you may be better off using "Optical". Some manual kerning might be needed either way.

    • @proy14
      @proy14 Год назад +1

      Yes. Plus optical kerning take more machine ressources. In Photoshop, that's so so, but with longer texts in InDesign, it shows quickly.

    0:41 doesn't give you a golden rectangle. It gives you a Fibonacci rectangle. Fibonacci's ratio ever so slightly approaches the golden ratio at some points, but never exactly matches it. For a golden rectangle I just do one side of the square times 1.61804 and it's pretty good for very precise software oriented golden ratio. The more decimals the better tho.
