Low Res 5x3 Logo Need High Res Help Getting It To 24x18

Hello,
l would really appreciate some help since I am coming to a deadline for printing some material. My problem seems to me like it should be quite eas, I have come close to a sufficient solution on my own but still not quite good enough resolution to print 24"x18" signs. In any case my issue is that I have an old design file of mine for a 5"x3" sticker with a logo on it as seen. When I try to enlarge it to the 24"x18" size the edges are way too pixelated. I have tried different selection techniques as well as refining the edges but no luck to make a high res version as yet. It's a rather simple shape and frankly I don't even care if it is redrawn to match at high res. In any case here is a copy of the logo in its native size on a 24x18 photoshop canvas. There is an image and an attachment Photoshop file, I would greatly appreciate it if someone can download the photoshop file and repost it with their efforts.
Thanks,
Dino

How To Make An "inverse" Layer?

I am sorry if I don't use the correct jargon throughout this post, I am a very occasional user of Photoshop!

I have Photoshop CS4 Extended.

I want to create an "inverse" layer.

Here's what I mean:

1) create a new canvas.

2) Choose a large, bold font and write on the canvas (E.g. "Hello World").

3) Select all the letters (using the magic wand tool, click on each letter while holding down the shift key)

4) Invert the selection.

5) Get stuck, no idea what to do next. Try various things and get nowhere!

I want to make a new layer that contains the inverted selection as a shape that I can do things to like any other shape (e.g. in the shape library).

So, for example, I could fill the surrounding area with red and the letters will be transparent.

I've tried converting the inverted selection to a clipping mask, but after that I get in a bugger's muddle.

Perhaps I am going about this in completely the wrong way? Perhaps there's a better way?

Once again, I apologise if I sound like a three-year-old trying to explain something to an adult, but that's the extent of my knowledge of Photoshop!!

Help Resizeing A Shape

Hello,

I'm in a bit of a hurry with this one and looked all over for how to do it. I have a logo I need to print out very big, every part in A3. Every letter went fine because you can resize words w/o them getting bad resolution. I have made an eggshape from a real egg picture. "Just white with blueish borders". And I want to know if it is possible to take this egg and resize it without it having a really bad resolution. I need it to be A4 or A3.
Here it is and here is the PSD file: egg1.psd
If you could explain a way to do it or make it A4 or preferably if possible A3 size with good resolution I would be very thankful!

Thank you all in advance.

Everything In Photoshop Cs6 Gets Pixelated

I have a problem with photoshop. Everything I do gets pixelated.

When I paste or place an object from Illustrator CS6 I choose place as smart object and as soon as I pace it it gets pixelated. I have tried with and without the anti-aliased box checked. When the box is checked photoshop pixelates the image and when the box is not checked the image looks really strange and digital with the pixels showing. All curves that were smooth and nice in Illustrator looks jagged and strange.

When I try and draw a shape in photoshop it looks in the layer-list like it's a shape layer but the object is heavily pixeled.

I have tried opening a file created in Autocad (by using dwg to PDF) and opening it as a smart object in Photoshop. Everything is pixelated.

When starting a new file in PS I have a 300 pix per inch resolution, 16 bits RGB color, sRGB IEC61966-2.1 as my color profile and square pixels as my pixel aspect ratio.
Under general preferences I have the box for "Place or drag raster images as smart objects" (I have also tried without it). I have also tried with the box for "snap vector tools and transform to pixel grid" on and off.


Regardless of what i do photoshop still pixelates everything. I have no idea what to do. Could there be some sort of setting that I have overlooked?

Maximize Quality/minimize Size

Hello,

I am completely new to this forum so I apologize if this is posted in the wrong place. I am using Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 and have a question regarding file size/quality. So, here it goes.

I am currently working on publication that requires all downloaded photos to be uploaded to a website that has a max file size of 20 mb. When I download an image to use for a background (some sort of a pattern that is normally somewhere around 800 x 800 size) the image is about 180 kb which is perfect. Unfortunately, the image has a poor ppi resolution and prints extremely blurry so in photoshop under image size, I increase the resolution so that the file size & resolution is bigger. This takes a lot of guessing on my part.

For example, if I increased the image resolution to 100000000 ppi, the file size would end up way over 20 mb which does me no good. So what I am wondering is, is if there is a way to optimize the the resolution of the image, given the file size limitations, without all of the guess and check?

If this looks confusing, I apologize and will gladly explain more. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Printing Large Format: Up Sample Or Send Below Resolution As Is

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

Batch Saving To .png W/o Losing Canvas Pixel Dimension

Hi everyone, I introduced myself in a former thread. Name is Katie. I'm not new to Photoshop but am new to the more murky world of saving formats for various uses, printing, etc. I am in grad school, we're between semesters, and of all things they haven't really talked about saving! This week I was freelancing and saving to .JPG and .PNG, multiple images.

Problem:
I edited 150 images of product for a retail website on photoshopCS6. Company requires three sizes: two in .jpg, one in .png. Each image was in its own layer, in a group folder; a drop shadow effect was applied to the whole folder. For ea size requirement, I changed the canvas, resized all images at once to fit within it and ran the script.

I was able to run the Script on PS to batch save the .jpgs, and they RETAINED their canvas pixel dimensions in each image (700x525; 170x170). When I ran the same script to PNG-24, it worked but it DID NOT retain the canvas size and they were all wildly different.

I did some research, and found that people had to install script fixes to do this. I installed Dr. Russell's script for Image Processor Pro that should work in PS and Bridge. I tried it, still didn't work to retain size of PNGs. Am I simply using it wrong? Is that the only way to batch save certain file formats?

Because the images were due this morning, I individually saved every png ("save as" not "web/Devices") to ensure they were all 300x350.

I need to know there's a better way to do this for all other file formats, so I don't have to painstakingly save each image.

Need 2d Logo For Csgo Team.

Ok so as the title says i need a logo for my CSGO (Counter Strike Global Offense) Team. I already have a picture drawn out, but i need the skills of a Photoshop master to make it come to the computer screen. if you can, make at least 3 different styles of the logo. if you cant do 3 different styles that's perfectly fine, i just really need help making this on the computer. Here is the Logo that i have drawn and would like to be made.



As an extra note. if at all possible i would like for the hawk to be colored with blue and white and the eye be black. But as i said above if you can do 3 different styles of the hawk with the words " Team Pantheon" added to it, that would be great and i would be greatly appreciative of it. Now for the background, i really don't care if its just the hawk itself, but if you think it would look better with a shield or a hexagon or a circle in the back then go ahead. I only provided the drawing (i would really like to see your guys' creativity as well since i have non when it comes to Photoshop).

I would like to see what you can do with it. i would like the words "Team Pantheon" to be put into the logo somehow but don't make it too big. here are some examples to reference to if you need to



If you do decide to help me out, just post a response either saying you will do it and we can exchange contact. or just re post the finished product here.

Help With Rasterizing A Layer

Hi!

I'm having this problem since I upgraded to Photoshop CC.

This logo is made with a Brush preset that I created when I was using Photoshop CS6, but now that I'm using photoshop CC, when I use the "Drop Shadow" option and I rasterize the layer, the shadow fixes itself into something that I don't want, I've tried a lot of things, but just can't make it look correctly.



The first picture shows the logo with the effect before rasterizing, and the second photo is after rasterizing.

Design For A 5 X 2 Label

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.
