Ok, this is really ridiculous and almost impossible! I wait.... and wait... for people in Coronent to come to image designer tent to get changes so i can get my xp! Then after waiting for so long u get some .... Then i ask can I image design on u for some xp .... then they say sure it will cost u 25k hour ... I am thinking have no choice haven't seen any other people in 30 min. so ... this prof has just went up in price! Also its very difficult to find people to train u. I have to go to npc trainer and have to pay my money for training... Another thing iam only novice entertainer just trying to get master entertainer! Also is sad... how i can only get xp from humans I can only change hair style and color but i can't do anything with other races so iam very limited... So takes twice as long to get xp and find people!!!
Why is image designer prof I don't even see myself... I see 90 percent composite with stun?

Well, to get someone to help you 'grind' through the id xp, you're better off sitting in a cantina with live entertainers than the ID Tent.
Especially when you're not even Novice Image Designer, as the only real benefit you get there is decreased timer, and that's neutralized [as you can tell], by the fact that it's difficult to find folks just happenstancing there to help you out.
The entertainers at least can still entertain while waiting out the timer, so it isn't as big a problem.
You can also find folks who are capable of training Entertainer-level ID in the cantina [with live entertainers] since it's not too uncommon for muscians to have master entertainer at the least.

yes but that becomes a moot point when you cannot find a single client in 30 min.

Very much so, and I fear the holofication of Cantinas are a major deterrent to those seeking to advance as an Image Designer now. I also suspect that it's a tad bit more inconvienant now, as it's not just something the performers can click and forget as readily as before.
I really miss the "At Launch" Theed, Coronet, and Bestine cantinas...

Well, they were still pretty nice to socialize when I started playing somewhere in July, and it was actually one of the first times that I maxed my EH xp before my dance xp. Helping out ID's was not a problem at all, it even got me interested in it and its great fun being able to do it on a fellow ID and dance together at the same time, it was a blast. Heck we even shared training costs lol.
Now I really have to be in a patient mood to help out someone with ID while performing. I know this sounds very selfish, but the screen and timer just is a bit more of an inconvenience and thus requires more patience from my side. With the current system I probably will decline nicely instead of accept, which I've usualy done before.

Most entertainers in a cantina will help you level ID, and, if you can't find any, you can always finish off your musician/dancer trees.

If you ID a dancer or musician or whoever, they can hit Alt to have the intrusive window disappear (but not close). Have themput this macro on a hotkey:
/pause 120;
/tell self Time to accept!
When they get the message, have them hit Alt again to bring back the window and accept the changes. When you start another timer ticking down, they can just hit Alt and start the macro again.
Does that work? It might make it easier to find an entertainer to help you..
/tell self works? Cool deal, even if not, can just do an echo or sysmessage to self [can you do that?].
Good ideas regardless.

Maybe it works, but if it doesn't, I know for a fact you can "/tell yourownname" for the same effect.

That is a good idea 
Q-3PO mentioned it on one of the Tuesday Tips for telling yourself when to get on the shuttle /tell Kwee definitely works

/echo <message>
also works, but it does do the beep-beep that tells do. So I usually do something like:
/echo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So it stands out in the chat box.
