As ebook professionals, Adobe software is almost invariably at the core of our working lives: InDesign, Acrobat, Photoshop, Illustrator, and the list goes on. But what would an #eprdctn world without Adobe look like? In this talk, Simon Collinson and Nick Barreto of Canelo Digital Publishing will walk the audience through their Adobe-free toolbelt, giving tips, tricks, and warning of potholes to avoid. The overriding theme will be the fun/challenge of building a heterogeneous toolchain, rolling your own tools, and the efficiencies you can find if you can engineer your workflow from the ground up.
