7 * 3 Feet

Hi everyone, new to the forum so what an excellent way to introduce myself - throwing myself at your feet and begging for your
collective help!!

I've been designing A2 posters for past few weeks and they have all gone well. I've now been put to task designing a 25 meter by 2.4 meter
display for a large wall at work.

The problem is, I'm unsure of how I should go about this - creating a 1/2 or even 1/4 scale document makes the file size at the smallest 1.5GB
(1/4 size and 300dpi) and I can only save as a PSB, TIFF or RAW. The printer is requesting a PDF.

I'm by no means whatsoever a graphic designer so my understanding of resolution is limited to my photography and videographer knowledge.

Can anyone suggest document settings that I can use for this document please? I really am struggling and it needs to be to the printers by Friday morning.
ARGH!

People viewing the board are to be standing approx. 1.5m closest to it, if that's of any use.

I'd been setting things up at:

Width: 6250mm
Height: 600mm
300dpi

This is scaled to 1/4 size of final arrangement and comes in at 1.5GB as I've said but i can only save as PSB, not PDF.

If anyone can help me I shall name my firstborn after you and toast to your health daily with much merriment!

All the best and many thanks in advance,

Matt, the design moron.

Hi,

I have many images that I would like to crop, the cropping will be all the same for all images, 24 pixels will be cropped from the bottom, 131 pixels will be cropped from the top and 19 pixels will be cropped from the left, is it possible to create a marco or maybe that will automatically repeat this process for me, without having to do the cropping for each image which is currently takes time going through the same process.

Thank you

Hello,
I am trying out PS for video for the first time and want to create a zoom effect from a photograph. I want to zoom in on teh eye of the cat, but all PS is offering me in the option is to click a point in teh 3x3 grid to select as a zoom to point. Can I not set my own point that I want to zoom to?

Hi everyone,

I would like to ask what is the Resolution for a Standard ID size for a company. I am using the size 2.103" x 3.38" and 72 resolution pixels/inches, I don't know if this is correct cause it seems very small.

Please give some advice.


Thank you,

I've noticed that I get a good flow painting over a textured canvas (blank canvases are not for me) when doing so I work with a brush with the opacity set to about 45 and two layers, the bg textures and the actual image.
When I feel I'm done with my sketch I want to exclude the bg layer but still use the texture seen through the actual image i.e. I want to select all pixels in the top layer, merge this with the bg texture and then cut it out.

I've tried a couple of techniques (incl. ctrl + click on the layer icon) but not found any technique that selects _all pixels_ in a layer without me having to manually add some here and there.
Anyone have a clue how to?

Many thanks in advance.

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.

Guys, I could use your input. I created the attached poster for a sports ministry at church. I like my idea (taking my Bible verse and making it a double meaning), but what I am uncertain about are the colors. Because the design contains silhouettes, naturally I used black and white. However, can a black and white poster attract church members' attention on a bulletin board? I like simplicity, not sure about others. Can you please let me know if you would recommend that I color this poster in any other way? Feel free to color this and show me what you've done. Please, I really need your opinion. I have never done this before.

Hello... i am looking for a little help trying to figure out a design element i am trying to achieve... i found these sports posters on the internet and want to recreate one with images of my son playing baseball... I have MOST of the posters done, however i cannot figure out how to do the BLENDED background.. specifically the red, yellow orange faded blend... can anyone help please??? thanks in advance... Dave

heres a screen shot of the poster i am trying to replicate.... I am NOT looking to do this for profit... simply for my own personal use for my son...



the results do not have to be exact... i am looking for the technique used to create the background...

heres the link to the web site that makes and sells the professional poster for more samples...

I already contacted them to ask how they did it, but obviously they wouldn't tell me... so here i am looking for someone that maybe can help... thanks again...

Hi I'm trying to create a poster like this. It's nearly done except for the grainy effects (noise) and the guassain blur.


Is there a way of adding effects to the whole of the psd file and changing the contrast/hue without having to flatten the layers?

Thanks.
