View 1 RepliesI'm trying to take the square cd cover image and make a cassette tape cover, or j-card, with that image.
Here's a picture of a j-card template.
Right now all I want is the front cover, spine and tail. I wasn't sure if the templates I found were compatible so i tried to make my own template. What I did was make three separate ones. One for the front cover, one for the spine and one for the tail. I was able to take the square image and use the scale tool to make the image fit inside the front cover. The first problem I had was not knowing if the image quality was good enough to print. It seemed easier to use inches when I made the template and not pixels. So I made the front cover template 4 in by 2.5625 in. I exported the image as a jpg but the final image looked too small. So now I'm not sure how many pixels I need for a printable picture.
Now with the spine and tail most likely I'll just chose a background color and type over it...Artist, Album Name, Song Titles ext. My plan was to use the jpg images I exported and paste them together, then save that final image as a jpg. and print.
I like to make and print custom cards for family and friends. I use a heavy matte finish paper to print on. But the printing is never as vibrant as my screen image, and this includes photos.
Today I tried this and it worked fine. I converted the image to be printed to a 300dpi bitmap, then using the Photo Tool > Enhance menu, I increased the Saturation to the point where the image looked psychedelic. When I printed on the dull finish card stock, the colors looked just right.
So my D800 has dual card slots. The photos taken are stored on the SD then backed up on the CF.
Â
When I go to import in lightroom, LR imports photos from both the SD and CF so I get duplicates ("Don't Import Duplicates" is irrelevant here, this applies only to photos already on the computer).How do I make LR import from just one card?

View 2 Replies View RelatedThe powerful new XD7 LIVE COPY and EDITING INSIDE GROUPS features are really useful if you need to create a sheet of business cards. Create your business card and then set it as a LIVE COPY and repeat it on page. Now if you need to make a change later to the business card all the other copies of the business card change automatically.
Attached is a sample (.xar) to play around with.
If you're not familiar with LIVE COPY or EDITING INSIDE GROUPS in XD7, I recommend you watch Xhris's excellent videos at [URL]....
How do I get templates together with text and pictures to make business cards?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am designing my Business Card in PS. Now my business card has a back and front...In illustrator I would create two Artboards. What would I do in Photoshop? Do I extend the canvas to double the size? Or do I create a seperate file for the backside?
Â
What is the correct way from a printing perspective?
I have the following scenario:
I want to mass-produce some cards (like quiz cards in trivial pursuit), and I have made a image (card template) in GIMP that I want to import information to, from a excel book, that have 3 sheets in it.
I want cell A1 from sheet 1, cell A1 from sheet 2, and cell A1 from sheet 3 imported into this card layout, in 3 different text-fields, 1 field for each cell-content. So there will be 3 quiz questions on each card.
After that i want to make a serial number in another text field, going from 001 and up (this is not mandatory, but would be nice).
When all that have been done, i want the card to be exported/saved as a PNG with the serial number as the image name.
After that i want the loop to continue, importing B1 in sheet 1, B1 in sheet 2 and B1 in sheet 3.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI just started using GIMP to try to design a business card that is of acceptable quality for printing. The company that's going to do the printing says they need to be 300 dpi or better. I know nothing about this. What filetype would be best for that purpose and what software I need to create a design quickly and easily?

I set the print size to 3.5 inches wides by 2 inches tall but every time I upload it to the print company it say low resolution poor quality.

I make TV features, using multiple P2 cards. I use a Panasonic card reader to use my footage on Adobe Prem Pro.
Â
How do I use footage from the three cards, and export it as a MP4, if two of the three cards I need to use aren't in the card reader? I've done things all off one card and it works ok. When I take a card out to use another one, it will tell me the footage is offline, right?

View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to set up my Dell U2711 monitor for use with 10 bit display (30 bit color) in Windows 7 via Displayport. I noticed that CS6 now has a "30 bit display" option in the Advanced GPU settings, and saw Chris Cox's commentary in another posting that CS6 no longer relies upon the GPU driver to enable 10 bit display.
Â
Has CS6 changed what video cards are able to work with 10 bit display?
Â
I know previously it needed to basically be either a AMD Firepro or possibly a Nvidia Quadro workstation class card with their advanced drivers in order to work. Can 10 bit display now work with the more mainstream Radeon HD 6xxx/7xxx or GeForce GTX 5xx/6xx cards? I'd like to buy a more powerful video card for general purposes, but not have to pay the very high price of a workstation class card.
Is it ok to use 2 identical video cards (Nvidia GT 120) in a Mac Pro with 2 monitors and PS? Any benefit or problems from using 2 cards - each monitor getting a seperate card?
There might be instances where I might need to run 3 monitors but it will mainly be 2 (a 21" and 24" NEC multisync's).
I'm working on a business card project and I want to put three cards on one pace with crop marks on each card. How can I do it? I only know to put crop marks when saving to PDF or exporting to printer and on one individual element on the page.
I want to have those three cards with crop marks, and on one page.

I took a photo for a family Christmas card, and am trying to make the card on Photoshop. This question will prove what an amateur I really am, but I am having trouble with layers. When I change the size or format of one layer, all of the layers change as well.
I can't seperate what I do on one layer from the next. Can someone please help me with this? Also; I can't change the size of my photo to fit it on the other layer. How do I change the background layer from the photo to the background I want?
I am trying to create an image to use for my business cards and I have come up with 4 cards all using the same design. Please let me know which you all think would be better.
Business Card 1
Business Card 2
Business Card 3
Business Card 4
Note: These were created with photoshop.
Currently my display card is a NVIDIA Quadro FX 500/600 PCI. One of the reasons I chose this card is it supprted dual montors. Now that I have upgraded to CS4 Extended I need to upgrade my display card.
When I went to Adobe's List of tested graphics display cards for Photoshop CS4 and seen such a long list of cards for Windows.I thought I would come here and ask if any body else has upgraded theirs. I would perfere to go with a nVidia card. Do any of these cards support dual monitors? Or how can I keep using my two montors? Price wise $250.00 is the highest I can go.
which card to get?
I have Photoshop 7 and I want to create some business cards in Photoshop and then print them.
How do I set it up so that it will print out on those business card sheets correctly?
Long-term user of CorelDraw, and have just found Xara P&GD, which is quite a revelation. I've re-designed my business card and how to print to A4, pre-perforated card. CorelDraw can make use of Avery templates for printing the single business card design, multiple times, on the same sheet of card, but I can't find a way to do this with Xara without physically copying the design to make a composite A4 layout. Can Xara do this the "template" way?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm creating cards for different decks. What the printer gets and what I get are two totally different things. This card (.xar file attached), has been designed with the diamond fill. I got poor results when I exported the .xar file itself to PDF format.
So I exported the .xar file as a 300dpi png, and next exported the PNG file to PDF, using Xara DP6 program. Turned out exactly as I want it. File attached.
So, I send the PNG file to the printer. He exports it to Adobe Illustrator, and it comes back with rectangles instead of the subtle starburst effect. I have four card designs that use this diamond effect, and they all do the same thing. His PDF file is too large to attach here because there are 11 card samples on it and it's 860kb. So I'm attaching a screenshot of how the red card turned out when he exported the PNG file to PDF. I'm also attaching a screenshot of the blue card, where you see the rectangles are quite prominently displayed.
(Blue card image being so large; I was working with Photoshop Elements and must have forgotten to resize.)
I could export the cards to PDF and send them instead of PNGs. Looking for taking a PDF export from Xara and using it in an Adobe Illustrator template?
