was updated from the Mountian Lion edition of the same book directly in Adobe InDesign, with substantial assistance from the typing-shortcut program TextExpander (www.smileonmymac.com) The book’s screen illustrations were captured with Ambrosia Software’s Snapz Pro X (www.ambrosiasw.com), edited in Adobe Photoshop CS5.5 (www.adobe.com), and overlaid with labels, lines, and circles in Adobe Illustrator The book was designed and laid out in Adobe InDesign CS5.5 on a Mac Pro The fonts include Formata (as the sans-serif family) and Minion (as the serif body face) To provide the symbols (a, c, ´, and so on), Phil Simpson designed three custom fonts using FontLab Fontographer The book was then exported as Adobe Acrobat PDF files for final transmission to the printing plant
