Photoshop :: ACR Set To 240 Ppi By Default And Not 300 Ppi
Jun 13, 2013
Why ACR is set to 240 ppi by default? Isn't 300 ppi the optimum setting for printing purposes? Is there a good reason, or reasons, why Adobe chose 240 ppi as the default setting?
Â
I'd like to know if it is advisable to change ACR's settings from this default 240 ppi to 300 ppi. I know any perceived difference, when it comes to printing images, may be negligible, but why not, if it is just a matter of simply changing it to 300 ppi permanently?
Â
I am uneasy about changing this, however, until I find out a lot more about it, as I want the best quality, and if there are undesirable consequences by changing ACR to 300 ppi that I am not aware about, and, therefore, why Adobe have it set it to 240 ppi, then I'll leave it at the default setting.
I have a situation where the default behavior of my rectangle tool (or any of the other shape tools) is now different. I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.5 running Illustrator CS5. It acts as though the option-shift keys are pressed, so whenever I draw an object, it draws from the center point and the dimensions are constrained, so i can only draw a square or circle, not a rectangle or ellipse. Additionally, whenever I use the selection tool, it clones the object I drag, and also constrains the positioning, so i can only drag in a 0, 45 or 90 degree angle (or multiples thereof). It's as if my option-shift keys are permanently pressed (if I actually press option-shift, the behavior persists). I tried using a different (brand new) keyboard, tried throwing away preferences, and the problem remains. I also tried booting up Illustrator CS4, and the weird problem showed up there! This behavior just started happening spontaneously. I couldn't think of anything weird that happened (a crash, a new plug-in, etc.). I can't find a preference that sets this behavior either.
I have lots of JPG files that are"sort of one-of. All I need to do is open, crop, and print. I am trying to set Photoshop CS6 as the default for opening JPG files. I got through the "Open with" process to specify C:/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64) bit/Photoshop.exe but it doesn't show up on the Open with list. Â I have also been through the Control Pane > Default Programs > Set Acccociations which takes to the Open with window. I select there and get the same result; i.e., Photoshop CS6 never shows up on the list of programs.
The program works fine but I can't open a file directly from the HD. It asks me what program I wish to open it with and Adobe 7.0 is not an option so I go to "browse" and locate the Adobe file, click on it but it still doesn't add it on as an option. Image ready is an option allready but I want to use Photoshop. When I have the 7.0 running, I can open a file from there by going to "file" then "open" but I can't directly open a file from the hard drive.
I'm planing to buy CS3 but I'm trying to figure out how to make what I have right now work.
I know it is suppose to open the last font you used when you launch photoshop but I have never used Myriad Pro in my life, no offence to neither Robert Slimbach nor Carol Twombly. The font I primarily use is the Sans. There is no reason I should have to reset my font every time I launch. Why would this not be an option in the preferences? Photoshop CS6.
I am forced to use 75% zoom for Android Mockups i work on, unfortunately the default zooms are 100% / 66% / 50% etc... Â Is it possible to set another default zoom somewhere?
I have a problem with Adobe Bridge opening files in PS 64 bit instead of my prefered 32 version.I took the "Typical"install when I installed Photoshop and I suppose that's why 64 is the default. Â Any hints for making 32 the default before I go playing with registry settings?
I am working on numerous 3D renders at the moment, all will have the same lighting, colours, focal length / DOF, position etc. The only thing that will change is the 3D object itself (vector smart object text with an icon). Â Now, when I have finished rendering one, save it then want to change the image in the smart object (edit source), save to update - this will not update the 3D layer! Ideally this is the workflow I would like to use, but it just won't work. I now have to replicate all the settings on a new 3D extrusion from a layer... Â Is there a way to set it so when I do create a new extrusion from a layer, it would default to the used settings?Or can I fix it so the smart object actually updates?
Whether I'm creating a new document or working on an old document, I keep seeing this number in the text leading box instead of "auto." It's really annoying when the text wraps and it's inside the previous line, and I have to fix it every single time. How can I make it stop doing this?
How can I set the dpi default to 300 in Camera RAW? I am shooting in RAW, processing in BRIDGE, but my images show 100 dpi when I save into PS 5.5. This hasn't happened before.  How can I control the dpi?
I had no problem with CS5 however with CS6 when I try to do it with the CS6 version it will not work. I'm using windows 7 and find the .exe file and click on it like I done before however nothing happens.
Ok So the other day I had to install photoshop 32 bit version for a certain plugin but since that has been installed everytime i open a psd or right click to open with photoshop, even if opening through Bridge it is opening by default the 32 bit version.
I have tried to set the default program to 64 bit through windows I have edited my registry key under regedit to C:Program FilesAdobeAdobe PhotoshopCS5Photoshop.exe under the path line I have deleted all photoshop registrys and created new 1s and yet my computer is still using the 32 bit version instead of 64 bit by default and I do not want to have to uninstall the 32 bit version as I do use it occassionally .
How to set photoshop 64 bit as the default version any other way that I have mentioned
I am sometimes in a situation where i need to save images as png at a certain size or something for a website (or just because i like to save out as png) and in many cases i am not using any optimizations in psd files. Â is there a way to have photoshop default to Save As png? Â right now i think i have to do a pulldown every time i want a png and when i am trying to do some kind of "batch processing" i am getting a bit of carpal tunnel with all my clickthroughs. Â also, any tips on where to read up on optimizations or built in batch functionality in photoshop would be great. i have been using Preview for the mac and some of the functionality there (convert all to png, resize all to XX etc, etc)
For some reason whenever i open up an image it seems to default that image to 240 resolution. I can't figure out why! Even if i output an image with 72 res, and reopen it, it'll go back to 240! Any ideas on what the heck could be going on guys?
All I can find in the Actions pull down list is the Default ones.
They include:
Vignette, Frame channel, Wood Frame, Cast shadow,water reflection, custom RGB to Gray, Molten Lead, Make clip path, Sepia toning, Quadrant colrs, Save as photoshop PDF, and Gradient Map. I have seen on the net where there should be things like:
Command Frames Image effects Production Text effects Textures Video actons etc.
These are apparently Photoshop's Additional Built-In Actions. It says they are available from the action pallete and the drop down arrow at the top of the menu there. I cannot find them? What am I doing wrong or do I need to reinstall Photoshop to be able to activate these.
You want to set a new default, what do you do? And then what do have to "choose' for this to come up automatically on all subsequent RAW images? And then what you do you do to replace it later? And what is the selection to go back to Adobe's defualts?
some way to specify where PS CS3 will look for files and where to save files. I do not want my CS3 files to be saved to the default locations, and it is a waste of time to have to re-direct PS every time I what to open or save a file.
Is there any way to make my saved workspace come up automatically (instead of the default workspace) when Photoshop opens? I always forget to change to my workspace until
how do you get your default brushes back? I just got sets of new ones, which I was adding them at the time, and I accidently replaced my old ones. I tried uploading all the files that I could, but I never got those Circle brushes back. I may have missed one, I was able to get the Square brushes, but not the ones that PS(7 in this case) came with. Are these in the same brushes folder? Do I need to download them to get it back?
I use PsCS3 at home and work. I took some work home today, and SHOCK, I didn't have any of the same fonts I have on my Mac at work. Right now, I'm laboriously changing all my type layers one by one to a suitable replacement font on my PC. There's got to be a better way - more suitable to a lazy sod like me, right?
The perfect solution would be to assign the font I want to use for the default substitution font (which is Myrid Pro). I've searched everywhere, but have come up with nada. Is there a way to change this default font to one of my selection?
I start Photoshop CS3 some of the preferences set themselves back to default even though I set them to soemething else the last time I opened it. What annoys me the most is the navigator window which resizes itself every time.
How do I make my custom profile to stick in Edit>Color settings>Settings? As it is now CS3 reverts back to "North America General Purpose 2" every time I launch the application.
I have Photoshop Elements 6, and I'm an animator. As you all might have guessed, I have to save a TON of frames! And every time I save a frame, I have to change the default format to .png (that's my preferred format anyway...) way that I could change the default for saving to PNG? Because changing this every single time is getting to be monotonous...
It was a bit of a surprise to find that none of my 32-bit plugins would work with Photoshop CS4 x64. Most seem to work fine in the 32-bit version of PS though. Is there a way to make the 32-bit version launch by default from Bridge or when opening a PSD file instead of the 64-bit version?
how I would change the savings setting from default PSD to jpg format? I have a LOT of images to scan and having to manually select jpg every time is getting a bit tedious!
How do I make Photoshop as the default program in Bridge to open files in?When I right click a photo in Bridge I get a menu with several programs butPhotoshop is unfortunately lacking.
I have a layer that I used in every project of Adobe Photoshop and in that case I used to re-design that layer or copy the image of layer from another project. Is there any way to make that layer default that when I shall start a "new" project, that layer automaticaly fix at layer panel (same as first layer) ?
