I am trying to print a jpeg from Photoshop with no luck. I get a thumbnail sized image every time. One thing to note, if I use larger paper the thumbnail scales up.
HP Compaq 8100 Elite running Win 7 Pro x64 SP1
Adobe Photoshop CS5 patched to 12.0.4
Xerox Phaser 7760DN PS
Macosx 10.7.5
When I start up PSE11 and go to print I set up the paper size then select a Printer Profile. When print the image it is a mess and seem to be black and white it is as if I printed on the wrong side of the paper.
I then go and try to print it again. Now it all works as it should beutiful colours and spot on. all other print following this works.
Then I shut down PSE11. Start it up again. Guess what first print is a mess again. all others after are fine.
I uninstalled PSE11, deleted prefs. and reinstalled PSE11. Same thing.. first print a mess all others ok.
no problems with PSE10 or PSE9.
How do I set my Illustrator file to print clearly?
I am designing a simple label (3.75 x 1.25 inches, black and white) that is mostly text based. I tried printing directly from Illustrator and also as a converted PDF (high quality) and the results are the same - slightly blurry and fuzzy text.
The printing problem seems to only happen when I try to print Illustrator files and PDFs converted from Illustrator. (Printing with a laser printer.)
I'm using CorelDraw x6. I imported some AI clipart into my drawing. While the clipart looks fine on screen, when printing the image to my HP Color LaserJet some of the clipart doesn't render correctly (see attachment). The dark brown area of the bell is jagged and the black lines should not be there. How to correct it so the images print out nicely?
BTW, when printing to an HP ink jet or converting the image to PDF then printing it looks fine. Only on the color LaserJet does this happen.
I would copy the excel table that I need, go to AutoCAD 2010 and use PASTESPEC , then choose AutoCAD entities. After I resize it and whatnot, I would then print it.
For some reason, the first row wouldn't print correctly. Sometimes the words get cut off or it doesn't show at all. If I were to move my drawing up to that portion of the paper, the drawing appears fine.
So that rules out a printer alignment issue, is it the excel table itself? Fonts and font color are standard across the table, so I'm baffled by this little problem.
Any better way to copy an excel table into a CAD file? The method I use will end up having the table appearing as a small, miniscule table, I always have to drag it up to resize and change the font size etc. etc.I'm guessing I have to set a default annotation scale for it?
Why are my blends in Illustrator CS4 not saving or printing correctly???
SPECS:
Adobe CS4

I got a outlined Text blend with a drop shadow. And another text with a drop shadow on top. Not too complex at all. Heres some screenshots of the problem.

I have a 3D drawing with a cylinder in it. I use viewports in paper space. Sometimes only part of the cylinder outline shows in viewport or prints. I can trace over it in paper space, but that's a hack. What's the real solution? Autocad 2008
I just figured it out. It only happens with shading to 3D hidden. Change it to just plain hidden and problem goes away.
i have an image that is 28' wide by 60' high. i have to tile print it, but i have to print it out on film (see thru acetate). it has to be able to print at 1400 dpi. i know how to print at 1400 dpi on adobe photoshop, but i dont know how to tile print on that program. i have the image now in illusrtator, because it lets me tile, but i cant get it to print out for film (1400 dpi). im using a epson 1280 printer.
i really need to be able to tile print this in high resolution on film. anyone know what i can do??
How do I convert the colour profile of a Lightroom custom printing package from Adobe Prophoto to sRGB before printing? For that matter, how do I save the thing? I have no interest in saving the template, or the collection separately, since neither has any use without the other. And without saving them as one finished item, I have no way to convert the colour profile of that item. I can see clearly from the appearance of the print preview that the above mentioned colour profile conversion is required.

View 1 Replies View Related'm running windows 7, and am using PS CS5. It has started developing a few problems that are becoming very troublesome. My system is 64-bit running intelcore i5 2320 3.00 gz with 6gb ram. It's a Dell which is probably the main problem to begin with, but here goes.
It won't open any secondary files on the first try. When it doesn't, I have to scroll through folders, then try to re-open the file. Major headache. On my preferences under performance, "Open GLdraw" is not checked.
It often won't let me make any image adjustments on a file, or on a layer unless I close the program and restart.saving files in an unrecognized format. I usually can recover some if I open them with paint, but I find this ridiculous.
I used to be able to run an action in CS5 which would save a file in png with transparency, but now when I run the same action in CS6 the file is exported as a html file instead.

View 6 Replies View RelatedWhen I try and open an image in Photoshop it appears as the image below - I have checked and my Graphic card is on the approved list and I have updated it today but I still have the problem.
If I make a duplicate layer I can see the full image OK, its just when I open the image to start with.
I have created a layer and copied it to a new layer. I want the copied layer to completley cover the eixisintg layer but it won't move right to the edges, it leaves an outline of the previous layer. How can I get it to completelety cover the layer?
View 4 Replies View Relatedmy copy of Photoshop can't do it right. Specifically, I'm using CS4, but I have a feeling that doesn't matter.
Step 1 - Create a new file that is 4 pixels wide by 4 pixels tall. (Use basic options: 72 pixels/inch, RGB Color, Square Pixels, etc.)
Step 2 - Using the pencil tool, draw a red dot (1 pixel wide/tall) in each corner. So that the image looks like this:
Step 3 - In the menu, go to "Image" > "Image Size..." and increase the width and height of the image to 400 pixels using "Nearest Neighbor".
Now here's the image I end up with:
So we started with a 4x4 image, and now we have a 400x400 image. The math here isn't too difficult: 4 x 100 = 400. So each of our red dots in the corners should now be 100x100 pixels each. Simple enough, right?
Unfortunately, this was not the case for me. The red dot in the upper-left corner is now 97x97 pixels. The red dot in the upper-right corner is now 103x97 pixels. The red dot in the lower-left corner is now 97x103 pixels. And the red dot in the lower-right corner is now 103x103 pixels.
I guess Photoshop seems to think that both of the following statements are simultaneously true:
1 x 100 = 97
1 x 100 = 103
I can't get quickmask to work correctly in photoshop. Each thing I try to mask and then copy ends up having 50% or so opacity. All the layers are at 100% opacity, and in the quickmask options opactiy is also at 100%. Anyone know what could be wrong?
View 5 Replies View RelatedUsing CS2, I've created one of those swooshy Macintosh Panther wallpaper images, with various layers of sweeping lines and tinted gradient arcs.
Now I want to create the image using just tints of pantone 519 but I'm unsure of how to work with pantone colours in photoshop. I've pulled up the solid coated pantone library and located the swatch, but how do I specify various tints of this colour?
I've searched the forum and come across spot channels, and have read the photoshop help entry on this, but still can't understand how to do it. From what I've read, I make a selection, then create a spot channel of the colour and set the solidity to 100%. If I want an 80% tint, I just adjust the solidity to 80%. Is this correct, or is the solidity more like transparency than tint?
In addition, how do I create a gradient between these two colours?
Final question - I have an element I want to import from Illustrator that uses the same spot colour. Do I have to deal with this any differently to the normal copy and paste as a smart object?

I have a b&w photo that I have added a spot of red to. I have done this in PS CS3. When I save the photo (as a psd) and import to Illustrator, and I try to print separations, the entire photo separates as cmyk.

I've tried all the traditional 'associate this file' but nothing works. You double click on the file, Photoshop loads, then nothing displays. Open... or even drag and drop work just fine.
my Wind Filter is not creating the "tracers" or "trails" that I am used to seeing.My goal is to create a motion effect on white text. The "tails" are not growing in length when I duplicate the filter over & over like it should.
Example: This is the text after applying the filter once.Here is an example after the 3rd time of applying the Wind Filter.
the streaks are remaining within the text. It's not creating the trailing streaks that I need.
For some reason photoshop at times will only let me erase or draw within the confines of a specific layer. It seems to happen randomly without me accidently hitting a hotkey of some sort.
For instance in the image below, I was drawing and randomly I noticed I could no longer draw. It would only let me use the brush/erase tool within the confines of the line work I had already established. The only way I have been able to correct this so far is to completely restart photoshop.
CS6 Photo Down loader locks up when I attempt to download photos. Buttons like browse, settings, get media do function. This worked fine with CS5 Bridge on this machine. The machine is a windows 7 box.
I had CS5 Master Suite side X side installed with CS 6 Master Suite. When I noticed problems with the CS 6 Photo Down loader not working correctly I uninstalled CS5 Master Suite. This did not resolve the issue and I am stuck with lots of photos that are unable to be downloaded using CS6 Photo Down loader.
I work as a graphic designer at a company working with CS6. I try to define a pattern but when the dialogue box pops up in define pattern the pattern does not define as I want it to. Instead of defining it as it looks in the image. The pop up turns it into something else. I've taking a screen capture of the problem and inserted it below.

I've changed various settings, tried working in RGB etc at different bit rates, but it hasn't affected the final output. I've used patterns in designs pretty regularly and don't remember having encountered the problem before.
I am having a problem with Photoshop CS5 Extended V 12.1.
The problem:
When I open some files, some shades of BLUE colour is displayed as BLACK However the same file opens and displays correctly if I open it using Photoshop Elements V9.0.3.When I save the file as JPEG and re-open it, the problem returns.Opening the JPEG file in any other application, including PS Elements, does not cause the problem
Source of files The original files came from a Nikon camera, saved in RAW format. It is possible that the original files were corrupted in some way as the shots had an unusual blue cast - which was easily resolved by Photoshop when I originally opened the RAW files.problem is not universal as I've not been able to reproduce it with any other files (RAW or JPEG).
I have calibrated my monitor display settings sRGB IEC61966-2.1 (default)

Keyboard shortcuts are working sporadically. For instance, when using select all, copy, paste shortcuts to copy from one image to another in a different tab it can take 2 presses of the keyboard to get them to work. This also makes actions unusable.
Using MacPro 2.66 Nehalem 8 core, OS 10.6.8, 32GB RAM, ATI Radeon HD 4870
Have tried:
Adjusting Performance in preferences -currently 25062 memory usage, history states 20, cache levels8, cache level 1024, use graphics processor ticked. Have changed all of these settings with no effect on problem.
Closed all other programs(including all browsers).
Removed any plug-ins. Closed flash panels namely mini bridge.
Having to revert to an older version of Photoshop at the moment as dodgy Keyboard shortcuts make CS6 unusable. Also have a problem with Camera Raw which I have raised in another Discussion that makes it unusable also.
Several of my CS5 "Sketch" filters (e.g., Stamp, Photocopy, Halftone) are suddently producing only all-black images, while others are still working correctly.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI frequently save layouts I do in Photoshop as PDF's. Lately I very often will discover the text does not display correctly in the PDF. One or two lines of text will display as white with a thin black outline, rather than as the basic solid black I'd specified.
I work on a Windows 7 machine with the current version of PS. The text is on layers when I save the file to PDF (from PS), but I do not include the layers in the PDF, so they should be flattening down.
I noticed a few weeks ago when it was also doing this that I updated the program a day later and the PDF's were not exhibiting this issue. But, now it's starting again.
I am using the "Place" command to embed my transparent logo into all my images that I post.I hand place the logo in the right bottom corner (not "aligned" as it just pushes the logo too close to the edge). My problem is when I create an action incorporating the "place" command and use it in batching, my "hand" placed logo defaults to the center of the screen which I don't want. Is this a bug. Shouldn't the placement go where I actually place it? I am using percentages to resize so that should not be a problem.
When I use the align tool the batch actually works and places it in the absolute alignment position, but that looks terrible.
I have a background texture which was create in photoshop which I'm trying to display to iOS.
