Print Size Driving Me Mad.

Using PS CC. I have set a photo to an image size of 4x6. I am uploading to an online photo printing service to purchase multiple copies of the photo on 4x6 glossy paper. I've tried both Costco Photo and Shutterfly but the cropping that is required cuts into the people shown on the photo. I tried increasing the print size to 5x7 but it cropped even more. If I use my own printer, I can reduce the photo to fit the paper size. This option is not available online. I tried reducing the image size to 5x3, but that doesn't work either. How do I format my photo to eliminate so much cropping with these online services? Thanks for any help you can give me. I've been using Photoshop for several years and have gone to two classes. Unfortunately, I only use it a few times a year so it's almost always like being a newb! Anne

Image shot on 5D Mk3 - using viewfinder not Live View.
Image converted to DNG.
In CC Bridge dimensions are as expected 5760 x 3840, in CC Photoshop under Image Size, dimensions are 1920 x 1280 (Original Size).

Same image in CS6 PS, dimensions given are correct i.e. 5760 x 3840

Any pointers as to what is going on and how to get the correct dimensions showing in CC PS, would be much appreciated.

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 trying to help a neighbor with a birthday invitation in CS4. For some reason, when we print the image, the text color is missing. We are trying to print the image on pink paper. The text layers are a silver color. No matter what color we change the text layers to, it won't print them in the chosen color. It just shows up as the pink paper. I have attached a screen shot.

Could anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong?

Hi Folks,



I'm ready for printing but don't understand the correct sizing in PS,Staples uses Publisher so they can't help on the file size. When trying the 11x17 Dimension poster size I get a small thumbnail box,After zooming to 3200 and copying everything over it's awful & fuzy.





3200%^^^

Not really sure how to figure out the correct Height x Width or what's wrong.

any help is greatly appreciated

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.

Dear all,

I am going to design a standee, but I dont know the actual size, I think it is 60x160 cm, is it correct ?. Furthermore, I also know it when it soft file going to be printed, it actual size would be cut or smaller, therefore please tell me the margins as well.

Oh, could you guys tell me which software is the best, PSD or AI.

Thanks and best lucks,

Hello

I have this lovely jpg photo (attached) and wish to print it off A3 size (well, to fit in an A3 frame), without it losing the quality associated with its current 496px width/454px height properties.

I will probaby type a few words on the image in a Pooh font.

What's the best way of resizing it, please?

Thank you.

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

I am planning to print this attached graphic onto a tshirt on the front pocket area as a logo. When I put this logo onto the template and begin to pull the handles out to increase the size the image and text seems to pixilate and look somewhat poor. Any help keeping the text and graphic sharp would be appreciated. I plan to print this on a white t-shirt so I added a yellow oval with a little texture and border shading as well. If anyone wants to take a stab at making the background cooler (different color or texture, maybe even a fade would be welcome as examples). If you play with this and do any work posting up the .psd file for me to work from following your help would be appreciated. One other thing that is bugging me but that has been elusive is how might I drop the gray shadow text that falls underneath the web url? Even if I hide the text the shadow seemd to remain on the yellow oval. I will be posting a picture I have worked on for the back of this shirt in a seperate post as well.
Thanks,
Joe
