Tshirt Sizing

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!
I have a dilemma with a high resolution picture that I want to use on a large screen. The problem is the screen has a low resolution which seem to distort the picture sometimes. Also I would like to zoom in the picture.

The monitor is a 47 inch HP LD4720tm sporting a 1,920 by 1,080 resolution. So the resoultion is like an ordinary desktop monitor but the size is more than double that. In other words, the pixel density (ppi) is much smaller.

The picture is of a clock. Size is about 670X670 pixels. I cropped out this clock from a larger 12MP Raw format Nikon picture. The cropped out clock looks something like this (my real image is copyright protected but this is very similar with 700x644px):


(http://www.stanleylondon.com/ClockShipsBellSml1.jpg )

On the screen this picture should take up a fixed size of 170X170 pixels (ie about 10% of the monitor).

The first way I did this was to simply in Photoshop Elements save the 670X670 picture as a png and with dimensions 170X170 pixels. ("Save for web" to get it as small in size as possible and chose png and 170X170). Then I put the 170X170 pic on the background canvas. It looks very nice. However, when I zoomed in the numbers and other details look very jagged or blurry.

So now I tried with the larger resolution 670X670px. I put this on the background too, and as it should only take up 170X170px, I clicked it and dragged to resize it. But this picture looks much worse than the 170X170 pic. I suppose the 170X170 pic perfectly fits the 170X170 space while the 670X670px is distorted. I mean, for the 170X170 pic there will be one pixel for each monitor point. When I do the exact same comparison on a 21 inch 1920X1080 monitor they look equally good, so it must be due to the low pixel density of the 48 inch monitor where the human eye can see each pixel.

However, now when I zoom in the details for the 670X670px were clearly visible.

I tried a few other resoultions like 360X360 and 270X270 (I resized the 670X670 pic to these sizes) and both png and jpeg. They also looked worse in normal view but of course in zoomed view they displayed more details than the 170X170 pic.

My dilemma now is how to get an image that will look good both when zoomed in and when in 100% zoom (normal view) on this large screen. Is there a way to do this. Eg like resizing to a resolution larger than 170X170 that will also look good in normal view.

Thanks.

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.

hi everyone how do you do photowork tshirt graphic like this company does (removed link)

every website call it somethink diferent like facebooth or faceprint

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

Can someone zoom this photo in and zoom right in down right by the sign near her dress I want to know what it reads hope u can help thanks

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.

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

Hey guys,

Sorry if this is against protocol. I am not a photoshop person but I know you guys are great at what you do and are very creative. I do competition BBQ as a hobby and am getting one of my competition smokers remodeled. When it is done I was looking to do a two tone powder coat job but dont want something basic I want something that will stand out and hoping you could help me. I am looking at doing a graphite grey and a bright royal blue or electric green. My smoker is a vertical refrigerator that will have a two doors on the front. a large door that covers 2/3 the height and one that will cover 1/3 the height. Overall it is 32" wide, 25" deep, and 77" tall. Can someone do a few renderings if they dont mind with those colors to help me get my mind going. I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks
