I'm interested in using PS to design tool icons for application toolbars. This question really relates to using PS for very small images (say less than 32x32 pixels in size). Are they any tips for working with small images in PS that you can share?
I've tried some dedicated programs like Microangelo but PS has more tools and effects.
I have an upcoming job which requires me to design a series of icons for screen usage (32x32 pixels). I've had plenty of experience designing icons and logos for print, and would appreciate some tips on the method for designing them for screen.
Is the process just a matter of designing the logos in a vector program, importing them into a 72dpi PS file (32x32 pixels), and then optimising the file in Image Ready? (batch process?).
I am running a subscription to Creative Cloud on a new Windows laptop....just Photoshop to start with. The fonts and icons are so small I can hardly see them...I have to get really close to the screen. I went to Edit >Preferences >Interface and changed the font size from medium to large but that didn't work (or if it did, the change was negligible). My screen resolution is set at 1920x1080 (recommended). I tried lowering it but that only changed the sizes of the fonts on my desktop, not in Photoshop. I run PS cs4 on my old laptop and never have had this problem.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWe have just finished installing a new Photoshop trial and opened the program but for some reason the menues and icons are so zoomed out that we can't see/read them
We have tried changing it in setting with no luck and we can't seem to chance the view into full screen due to the option seemingly being inactive. The program is for my mother and her vision is to poor to read any of it.
I just tried running this program on a computer running on Windows 7 professional OS. When I tried to share the album I created by exporting to CD/DVD, the preview showed only small thumbnail icons without the pictures. I tired to troubleshoot the compatibilty but did not seem to work.

I have 20/20 vision but the workspace is so small on this computer. I've tried changing the resolution on my screens and it's not changing photoshops screen at all. I'm not sure why it is a great size on my past computers and this updated computer it's not showing properly ? I can not use the program any longer with the changed sizing.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI realize that you can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear, but I'm in the position of needing to make some small images larger while working with them to not look completely blurry or pixellated.
Are there techniques for doing this? Does one need to start with an image of at least a certain size to expect any halfway decent results? The starting point images in question are in the neighborhood of 250px - 400px in either dimension and all combos of those.
i have photshop cs and when i paste a picture into photoshop from my "my pictures" folder after selecting parts of the image with the magnetic lasso, it pastes fine. mind you, its in jpeg form, because its pictures i myself took with my digital camera. ok, thats not a problem. but when i go into another folder that has pictures on my computer, use the magnetic lasso to take part of the image and paste it once again on a blank new canvas---THE IMAGES PASTE LIKE 25% OF THE ORIGINAL SIZE!! it only does this with this one particular folder. i like making collages of my pics, so i open up a custom, 8x10 new blank canvas, and when i print, it always comes up super small when pasted. i try resizing the images, but they are pixelated, so it looks blurry the bigger i make it. how can i paste images in accordance with their original size and stop getting these super small midget sizes of my image?

I'd like to make a poster, an image, out much smaller ones. I don't know how they are called, but everybody knows them. Those smaller images are put together in a checkerboard-pattern. Together they form a big image, that you one see when you take some distance, look between your eye lashes.
My question is: Is there a photoshop-filter that can do this, or is it a stand-alone application? Where can I get it?
I'm a MacOS X user.
Something just happened here. In the past, when I open any photo in Elements 10, the image would pretty much fill the space. the bottom edge of the picture would almost reach the bottom of the workspace...whether vertical or horizontal format. Then I would create a duplicate and hit either ctrl + 0 (zero) and the duplicate would be a nice large size. ( Double clicking on the little hand in the tool bar would also do the same trick).
Now , for some reason, the picture opens to maybe 60% of that size. It's way too small to work on comfortably. The duplicate is even smaller. When I hit the ctrl + 0 ...nothing happens size remains the same. If I pull on lower right hand corner to enlarge...it only enlarges the ruler and frame. Picture itself remains same small size. How can I get that back? I tried a system restore. that did not work.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have just updated a whole load of block symbols as some numpty didn't put them on layer 0. When i have created a tool palette of the symbols, 4 of approx 30 symbols have got such a tiny tool image, that its impossible to see them, but oddly the rest are fine.
I have checked the blocks are zoomed to extents, checked the drawing limits are the same ones that are okay, and checked that the size of the block is the same, effectively i can not see any difference between the blocks. Even when i increase the image size to max in the tool palette view options the symbol is to small to identify. Oddly in windows explorer and in ACAD design center there is no issue with the tool image size.
Whilst i could manually create a new image, and tell the tool palette to use it, if this happens with all the blocks, it could be time consuming, when there could be a very simple answer i have over looked.
I have released a new tool for ACAD users and it would be great if I could find some beta testers. so what about you? 3D Injector is a stand alone application designed to create 3D Drawings from small images. Once the image is selected, the program will inject the necessary code into the ACAD command line to create a 3D mesh based on this image. Every pixel on the image is converted into a 3D point where the Z coordinate is elevated according to the pixel luminosity. URL....

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a collage, and I'm not sure if Illustrator, InDesign or PS would be the best application to use.
I've got 7 sheets of paper, each with a bunch of black and white line drawings, that I've scanned into seven PDFs. I need to be able to select, cut, paste, resize, rotate, and move around each of the little drawings onto one big artboard - about 150 little drawings total.
I did this once in Illustrator already, and I learned the hard way that the "transform" tool also changes image resolution - I scaled the individual drawings down just so I could fit them all on the page, and when I tried to scale them back up again to make the layout look nice, they were extremely pixilated. I'd like to avoid this time loss the second time around!
What is the best way to select all of the little drawings from the larger PDF, copy, and paste into a new master document, erase the white background, and then manipulate the layout?
I love LRs ability to create great watermarks. Only thing, they seem to come out (from DNGs) at about 3 mb apiece (quality setting at 79) - super large. So I clicked the box to limit file size, and I chose 300k (for web), and it says "could not create a jpeg that met your limit".
View 5 Replies View RelatedI run MacOS 10.9, Lightroom 5.3 and I print on an Epson R3000.
The first problem I had was that the images was printed on just a small part of the paper and it cut the images. I have attached a picture showing this. I totally reinstalled my computer and now it looks like that problem is gone (for now at least). But now the images are printed but much smaller than the paper I specify. If I specify A3+ I get something close to A4. Borderless printing on 6*4 looks to be working as it should but that's the only I managed to print so far.
I tested printing from Photoshop 5.1 and that worked fine.
I just made myself another toolpalette, and the icons/images don't show up.Well, none of the icons/images show up except for the Junction Box (J with a circle around it.)I found that the Junction Box block is the only one that is NOT Annotative. All the other ones are ANNOTATIVE (as they should be.)
In Windows Explorer, it looks like images were saved for each new block I inserted into the toolpalette, but the images are blank except for the Junction Box of course. Is there a special way you have to put your Annotative blocks into a toolpalette so the icon/image shows up??
I would like to know how I can produce multiple identical small images (10mm x 10mm) on the same sheet of paper?
I used to be able to do this in older versions of Adobe Photoshop.
how people go about making skins for forums in Photoshop? Sizes, Any gaps needed for the actual space, and if so, how big etc?
