Gimp 2.7 now offers the ability to add crop marks to print outs.
However, where can I find the setting for how far they should appear from the picture's edge. I want to adjust the width of the bleed, which is 0 (zero) at the moment (which is completely pointless of course).
I am so confused with bleed marks for printers. Here is my example.
I am designing a postcard that is 8.5 x 3.66. I set my page size in the layout section to 8.5 x 3.66. In that layout section it also has a bleed button. I check it and type in .125 in. (what the printer requires.
So it adds a dotted line outside . which i understand. Here is my question. When I save as PDF, only the 8.5x3.66 saves and not the bleed area. I need the printer to see the bleed area. They also want crop marks.
So I am desinging a business card for a company I work for. The company we are sending them off too obviously needs to have the bleed and trims marks. The only thing I can't figure out is how do I make the bleed marks visible to them? When I print the document it shows me the trim marks but since I have a white background, it looks as if there is no border. Should I add a border to the actual Artboard?
I created an interactive form in InDesign CC and do not like the check marks as they are not visible enough. Can I globally change the check marks to "X" marks?
I have a photoshop document A4 portrait size 210mm(w) x 297(h) I need to add a 3 mm bleed around the document, and so that it will show up when saved as a pdf how do I do this, I undertsand that the document will end up 213 x 300.
I have some art I did back in high school that I recently scanned in. They are just pen doodles that I did on regular lined notebook paper. But on some of the pages I drew on both sides of the page, so when I scanned one side the ink from the other side bleeds through. I'd like to remove those portions but keeping the original lined paper look.
I tried content-aware fill, healing brush, spot healing brush, and more but nothing seems to work quite right. I seem to have the best luck with the patch tool, but for the parts selected close to ink, the replacement patch gets blue ink blur. It's like Photoshop is trying to guess what should go around those edges but all I want is just the plain selected area CS5?
I have an image which i have placed on an A4 document. I have sized it so that I can have it twice on the page, so when i print it i can cut it in half and have two small 'fliers'. I do not understand how to arrange the 'bleed' or 'borders' for printing.
I ma on a PC with Windows7 using CS5.5 Extended. I am working on a piece where sometimes I have to deal with just one pixel at a time. If I am making a pixel black I select either a square or round brush, hardness 100, Opacity 100 and Flow 100. I have tried Normal Mode and several other modes but no matter what I always seem to get some bleed(shading) into other pixels and it takes a few clicks to get a solid color.
How do I get the color I want with one click in the pixel without bleed?
I have been using Photoshop on a Mac for several years to make animated gif files for our company website and for our customers as well and have never had a problem until recently. On some Windows computers, these files are now appearing with ghost images bleeding through from one frame to another.
I have made sure that all layers that are not needed in a particular frame are turned off and I have tried various ways of saving the gif out of Photoshop but have had no luck. I did discover if I turned the option for transparency off in the Save for Web and Devices box the image bleed issue would go away, but then white lines appeared in my gifs instead. After doing some research it appears the image bleed problem is happening in the Internet Explorer 9 browser, but does not happen in any other browser I have tested - Safari, Firefox on Mac and Firefox on Windows.
I need to create a bleed around an object that is cut out on it's own layer. Basically I need a shape burst... the edge pixels expanding outward away from the layer. I know I could enlarge the layer but that doesn't work with more complex shapes. And I don't want to use the rubber stamp tool. I have lots of images to do. The end result does not need to be detailed at all, it will be blurred. How to create this other than rubber stamp?
I am new to CS4, but have used PSE for quite sometime. The new Patch and the healing tools are great tools, but when I try to patch an area near a different color it bleeds into the patched/healed area. Is there a way to prevent this?
I am wondering if there is a way to have a bleed on three sides only. I am exporting to a pdf/x for the printers and I do not want the inside edge (book format) to have a bleed. The only way I can see around this is to make the page smaller (the size of the bleed), but I would prefer to simply remove the inside bleed itself.
I'm trying to extend the edges of a number of images to give myself extra bleed room for print. The images have bits that are a little too near the edge and I need more room. The effect I'm looking for is repeating the final edge row of pixels for 1/8 of an inch beyond the original image on all side.
The obvious solution, manually repeating the row of pixels is too time consuming for the number of images I need to format.
The solution would have been simple if the imbeciles at adobe hadn't moved the "extend edges" option to the Oh-So-Useful auto lens correction tab in the lens correction filter. (how I HATE thee, Adobe)... Alas, I'm using CS5 and need an alternative solution.
I am using InDesign CS5 and Photoshop CS5 and have scanned full color illustrations into Photoshop. I am preparing 7x10 saddle stitch and casebound books with the illustrations which need at a 1/8" bleed area. My problem is the illustrations have key elements right up to the edge of them. I need to add complementary colors to fill in the bleed area around them so I don't lose any of the originals. What is the best way to do this? Also, I need to copy colors from the illustrations and make separate pages of the colors to import into InDesign. What is the best method to do this? The colored pages will be the background with story text on them and reside opposite to the illustrations.
I designed a festival event guide and our new publishers asked me to add a "bleed" to the documents before publishing to PDF. I followed all the instructions, but when viewing, all it shows is an extra white border around my pages. I need the color to bleed...
I am doing a convention center with a white matt painted ceiling and a soho red rose carpet.The carpet is bleeding a lot onto the roof. I want to reduce the amount of bleed.
Model units are correct (1=millimeter)
I'm using a generic mr white paint material for the ceiling, finish is flat/matt, application is spray, reflection is 32 samples in performance tuning.
The carpet is a DIY job with a AutoDesk Material library / misc / default material.
Generic image is a bitmap of the soho red rose carpet I made.
Glossiness is turned right down, reflectivity is off, transparency off, self illumination off, etc... the only thing that is on is the bump amount (using a duplicate of the bitmap), set to 30%.
The scene for now is lit by self illuminating material, above the chandeliers and between the gaps in the ceiling. That material is set self illuminate 6500lum and 3000klv.
The lighting solution is not yet fully modelled, but even with the light that's there now there seems to be an awful lot of red on the ceiling.
I am rendering with iRay, max design 2013 pu5. I know I have not let iRay render to completion... but I can tell no matter how long it renders for there will still be too much bounce from the carpet / absorption by ceiling.
how to make either material give off less radiosity?
I've designed 2 artboards (basically two halves of one image) for a competition entry. Pieces can only be submitted in jpeg or png at 5mb max and using only one file. I've designed it at actual size (approx 4000x1000 mm). I have managed to reduce it and save the whole image as a png file (with a white gap dividng the two panels) I'm now thinking this is amateurish and the required bleed setting may have been lost. So,
1. The correct way to crop artwork to each artboard and export artboards to one jpeg or png file. 2. Maintain bleed settings around each artboard.
Can I export my Lightroom 4 Book WITH bleed? I want to send it to my printer but can't find a way to do this which means I'll have to re-do the whole project in InDesign
