In the 90s and possibly prior, was there any particular preferred software for making an album’s liner notes, graphics, images etc? Taking a look at some of my old albums on CD, I wonder how they did all of that.
That also brings up a few more questions. Some of the albums’ band portraits look really crystal clear. I imagine they were shot on 35mm photo cameras and the scanned. So that makes me wonder... the scanners they used back then must’ve been very very expensive, or, perhaps there was a digital film scanner that they used connected to a Mac. Anyone know more about that?
One last thing: I noticed that video cards on older Macs just don’t cut it. When I use a video card that is at least on a G4, things look a whole lot better. So if people were designing CD booklets back then, how did they deal with such crap quality images that a Mac’s video card produced? The image on screen wouldn’t have been nearly the quality of what would have been printed.
