Pueblo Indian is a generic name for a member of any of the farming groups of American Indians living in the south west USA and north Mexico, living in communal villages of flat-topped adobe or stone structures arranged in terraces. Surviving groups include the Hopi and the Zuni.
A decision of the Supreme Court in 1857 declared Pueblo Indians living in the Usa, primarily in New Mexico, to be citizens of the United States. Research Pueblo Indian
Adobe Acrobat is a coding system developed by Adobe Systems for electronic publishing applications. It was launched 1993. Acrobat coding was designed to turn computers into information distributors that would allow Macintosh users to view a document in its original form, and can be generated directly from PostScript files.

Adobe GoLive 4.0 is an HTMLdesign program. The program operates on the paradigm that layout is king. It gives you as much control over the presentation of your site as possible at the cost, however, of usability. GoLive goes out of its way to protect you from the standard nomenclature and concepts of typical Web-page design. For instance, you can place layout grids for all your elements, from text to graphics, and use layers and tables to make sure that the layout is maintained. The program creates the actual code automatically in the background, and while the resulting pages appear as you laid them out, they will not be very dynamic. Other programs would do well to emulate a number of exceptional features in GoLive. Features such as Java and JavaScript support, database integration, and XML code, considered extras in other programs, are fully integrated with this program and its interface. And GoLive includes a QuickTime editor so not only can you incorporate movies into your pages, you can also coordinate them with HTML-based pages
popping up on cue in separate frames. For all its nods to graphic design, GoLive gives you access to the HTML source code in its own editor, and the Outline view treats the text like object-oriented coding. This feature is helpful if you've got object-oriented training, but not if you're accustomed only to more typical HTML coding standards. The program's interface is clean, thanks to a clever, context-sensitive Inspector that keeps open only the window being worked on. A tabbed palette contains icons for most elements, and you can drag and drop them into your design. Access to some of the most basic tools, however, is unnecessarily convoluted. Adobe GoLive 4.0 creates an environment well-suited for graphic designers, but it's likely to present a significant challenge to those versed in traditional HTML coding. Used as a vertical application with other Adobe products, it makes a great deal of sense, but be prepared to buy into that family-of-products philosophy and perhaps into the Mac platform, as well.

Adobe Illustrator is an illustration program for the PC and Mac for creating high-quality PostScript line drawings. It includes the tools of a basic drawing program, and also provides the ability to use lines and curves to trace a bit-mapped image and run it into crispPostScript output. This can be done manually with the pen tool or automatically using the AutoTrace tool. AutoTrace automatically traces shapes from a template, which saves time. The end result is a PostScript line-art drawing that can be printed in a resolution limited only by the output device. The product should be considered for translating bitmapped graphics to PostScript drawings.
Adobe Illustrator uses Bezier curves which are composed of anchor points (ends of the curve) and direction points. Direction points determine the shape of your curve. You can reshape the curve by dragging its points. You can also add and moveanchor points and delete sections of your curve. Research Adobe Illustrator

The GIMP (GIMP is an acronym for GNU Image Manipulation Program) is a computer software application that started as an undergraduate project by Peter Mattis and Spencer Kimball at the University of California and has evolved into an application designed for retouching photographs, composing and authoring images. Its powerful capabilities as an image manipulation program make it a worthy competitor to other similar programs such as AdobePhotoshop or Corel PhotoPaint, but the biggest advantage of The GIMP is it's free availability although it's not freeware, rather it is an OSS (Open Source Software) program covered by the GPL license, which gives the user the freedom to access and also to change the source code that makes up the program. The Gimp offers a full suite of painting tools including brushes, a pencil, an airbrush, an ink tool, and cloning. Tile-based memory management so image size is limited only by available disk space; sub-pixel sampling for all paint tools, allowing for high-quality anti-aliasing; full Alpha channel
(transparency) support; layers and channels. Advanced scripting capabilities provided by a procedural database so you can call internal GIMP functions from external scripts, such as Script-Fu, Perl-Fu (Perl scripts) and Python-Fu (Python scripts). The GIMP offers multiple undo and redo, limited only by disk space; transformation tools including rotate, scale, shear, and flip. File formats supported include PostScript, JPEG, GIF, PNG, XPM, TIFF, TGA, MPEG, PCX, BMP and many others. Selection tools including rectangular, elliptical, free, fuzzy, paths, and intelligent scissors. The GIMP supports plug-ins that allow for the easy addition of new functions, new file formats, and new effects filters. The GIMP is probably best known for its use on the GNU/Linux platform, but there are many platforms that GIMP can run on, including GNU/Linux, Microsoft Windows 95, 98, NT4 and 2000, OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, Solaris, SunOS, AIX, HP-UX, Tru64, Digital Unix, OSF/1, IRIX, OS/2 and BeOS.

Adobe Photoshop is a high-end image editor originally for the Macintoshcomputer, but later ported to the PC under the Windows operating system. The primary strength of Photoshop comes from it's layers which enable elements of an image to be manipulated independantly of the others, a feature which was quickly copied by other lower cost image editors.

PostScript was a groundbreaking Page Description Language (PDL), based on work originally done by John Gaffney at Evans and Sutherland in 1976, evolving through 'JaM' ('John and Martin', Martin Newell) at XEROX PARC, and finally implemented in its current form by John Warnock et al. after he and Chuck Geschke founded Adobe Systems Incorporated in 1982. PostScript gets its leverage by using a full programming language, rather than a series of low-level escape sequences, to describe an image to be printed on a laser printer or other output device (in this it parallels EMACS, which exploited a similar insight about editing tasks). It is also noteworthy for implementing on-the fly rasterisation, from Bezier curve descriptions, of high-quality fonts at low (e.g. 300 dpi) resolution (it was formerly believed that hand-tuned bitmap fonts were required for this task).
