In a bygone day I remember being able to import my hp scanned images directly into Ps. Something happened; I got a new printer or something and I was forced to use my flash drive to scan images to. I put off setting it back up for so long that I think, maybe the option isn't even available any more; or is it?
It just occurred to me that maybe that's when I was using PsE, and is why I don't see any printer preferences.
Morning!
I was wondering if you guys would mind helping me understand how I should be setting my monitor up and which colour profiles I should be using. Bearing in mind i don't have the spare money to buy a monitor calibration setup right now i'm going to have to make do for the time being with the monitors settings themselves.
I've always felt that my images when printed out seemed darker and more saturated than they did on the screen. Thinking it was my printer I would just lighten them to the point they looked washed out and then reprint, repeating until I was happy with the print. Having recently been given a new printer it does exactly the same so I'm guessing its my monitor that might be at fault.
I'll be very honest and say that I have tried to research this on the internet but it's going over my head and there are so many different opinions I'm getting a little lost.
I thought if I were to ask for help here I could get a dialogue going and be able to ask for clarification.
Currently I'm using an iMac running Mavericks which is set to Adobe RGB (1998) under the display settings.
I'm not doing any professional work where I need to check colours with clients or anything for the time being I just wish my printed images looked more like they do on screen.
thanks in advance for any help you might be able to pass my way.

I have some 200 meg psd files that need to be 30 megs in PDF format with fonts embedded. This is what the printer company requires. My file doc width & height cannot change. I have the complete Adobe Master Suite if another program would achieve the goal easier. Youtube links welcome. Also, I am using an InDesign template. Thx, Guru's
Long story short...I need a way to quickly drag multiple images to my canvas and put them in certain places without any of them overlapping each other. At the moment, when I select multiple images and drag them onto the canvas, they all sit on top of each other right in the middle until I go to each layer and move to their own space.
Is there a way I can automate the images to go to the correct position? Having to go layer by layer doing that manually takes a lot of time when I have 20+ images per sheet so I'm hoping there is a quicker way. I'm well aware of actions but not sure how I can use that to place images to different parts of the canvas. As far as I know, creating an action will put each image on the same spot of the canvas but hopefully I'm wrong about that and someone can show me the correct way of setting it up.
Plan on printing some large format Chromaluxe white gloss aluminum prints
Using a vendor/trade printer I work with just outputs what I upload
My issue is I am using images from 20 mp camera, believe files are about 5500 pixels wide so decent resolution but vendor wants 300 dpi at actual size which would equate to only about half the size I wanted to print
Looking to print as large as 36" x 24" but at 300 dpi my source file is about 18" wide
Started as RAW files
Since most cameras I think produce images in this range, I imagine this is a common issue. What would you do
Not place this order
(This vendor only has large sizes for the 3:2 ratio I desire)
Have photoshop up sample to 300 dpi or 240 at least using their tools?
If so which one of the options in photoshop do you use?
Submit my lower resolution files as is and hope for a good result
Thanks
Hi all,
I have a problem with an image that I would appreciate your help with.
As you can see below, the image is a t-shirt shape made up of several images like a collage/mosaic (ignore the fact that the same image is repeated, they will eventually be different images).
I have achieved this by applying clipping masks to the different image layers over the top of the t-shirt image. What I now want to do is individually save all of these images so that they can be used as buttons in Adobe Flash. This is the part I am having trouble with.
I have tried using the slice tool which does work however the saved slices are all square shaped when obviously each individual image is not always a square/rectangle. Even saving them as a .png with a transparent background, I still can't use them as when they are brought into Flash, the whole square area becomes clickable as a button which I don't always want.
Hope I've made sense there!
Thank you.
I'm having a design done for a 5 x 2 paper label. Here is what the label company told me,
Just ask your designer to add 1/8" bleeds on the graphic file size. If you are ordering a 5" x 2" , the graphic file's size should 5.25" x 2.25".
I printer out the design on my own printer, and the size is indeed about 5.25 x 2.25
I guess I'm confused about bleed. To compensate for bleed on a 5 x 2 label, shouldn't the file size be smaller, like 4.75 x 1.75 ?
Wouldn't a 5.25 x 2.25 file size print well over the actual label?
Thanks.
Hello! I am new to this forum and signed up for the specific purpose to get expert advice.
I am doing research on a project and was wondering if anyone can tell me if these two images can possibly be manipulated images. I used to work with Photoshop, but it's been over 10 years now. I know the technology has come a long way so its hard to decipher what is real and what is not real. These are screen shots, because I am new, I cannot post a link yet.
Thanks you!
Hi Everyone. Im certainly not new to Photoshop. I have been using it since 1998 everyday. I am a graphic designer.
Think the reason I never come across this problem usually is because I make all my artwork for print in Indesign.
EG bring vectors in and images etc.
This particular project I have loads of textures that go over vector smart objects in Photoshop. As part of the look I need these textures and light leaks flooding across over the vectors I have placed in Photoshop.
Its a Zfold brochure and have built the whole thing in Photoshop due to the style I wish it to look.
MY PROBLEM
I have exported a 1x front of brochure and 1x Back as a Photoshop PDF and placed into indesign so I can use my fold and crop marks. This makes the live type that was in photoshop perfect and cant tell the difference that it was originally in Photoshop, it looks Indesign quality on my laser printer. The vector smart objects though are really blurry. Is there any way to keep the smart objects from rasterizing when saving in a file format?
I have several images in different layer in PS3 ( macro images with different points of focus).
I have aligned all layers ok, but when trying to blend the layer (all layers selected) using the auto blend layers tools, the tool does not give me the stacked images button.
Instead it launches straight into the process.
The results are not what I am expecting, each layer bar one has a totally black mask, and the image is not a blend of all the images.
All tutorials for the process using CS3 show a button for selecting "stack images" mine doesn't.
Am I doing something wrong?
Please help as I am going mad with it
Hello,
I have a quite specific question about the use of Photoshop.
I wish to import a stack of images as layers in a Photoshop file. Then I wish to apply a certain rotation and translation on each of these layers (so no rescaling operation, only rotation and translations).
My question is the following. How can I somehow "save" the parameters of each translation and rotation for each layer so I can apply them on another stack of images later on? Basically, I wish to save the "Transformation matrix" for each layer and then be able to reapply it to another stack of images.
I thought of doing scripts and saving each operation, but I really need to be flexible and be able to go back to my primary stack of images and re-rotate or re-translate them later on if necessary, and resave the "transformation matrix".
Thank you in advance for your help and your time
Best,
Julia
