CS4 Is not allowing me to size the images as I would like.
I have PSD files that I need to size at- in this instance- to 11" Wide X 8.5" tall. CS4 will not let me do this.
When I try to size the image to fit the size I need one dimension gets thrown off. As I do not want to distort the image, I try to crop. (Cutting part of the image that has to be sacrifised to fit the size needed.) That will not work either. CS4 will not allow that change.
Once again what should be a simple task has become a miserable CS4 experience. Hours of reading instructions and watching videos is of no help.
Sizing an image to a given set of measurments should not be so difficult (and so far impossible).
Why can't I fix the size of my image in Photoshop? I try to make it, for example, 3.5" x 2.5", and have tried both the image size AND canvas size options. When I go and check the image size, it is 3.52" x 2.51", for instance. I've never encountered this before (using Photoshop 12 years now), and don't know how to fix this.
here's this picture. I need it to print at a 4x6. When I upload to order it with my lab online the cropping for the 4x6 crops out fingers etc. I've resized image tried several things.
How can I make this without losing my border, etc.?
Why is the default size of the print so large? Should I change it to just print 4x6's or leave it? Why does Save As change the size of the file and can this be changed? My photofinisher uses a Fuji Frontier printer. I am ordering PS Elements 2.0 for Dummies of which I clearly am right now!!
I need to make some new images for a jcarousel we've just coded into one of our sites. I have a number of existing images and logos that I need to drop into a 150 x 94 px size - I have a lot of these to convert.
What is the best (easiest) way to do this - they are all different sizes and formats. We'd like to end up with either gifs or pngs - if we make sprites we would need to keep the canvas size the same but knock the image size down to 150 x 47.
is possible to use percentages? i have disabled "constrain proportions". i fill in W & H. photoshop automatically rounds up. my web designer has my thumbnails on my site (photography site) sized at W41.6 and H98.8.
Image Sizing Dimensions produces wrong image sizes upon export for certain images.
Example, I have export set up for iPad resolution, 2048x1536px at 264ppi. If I now export an 3264x4928px image it should be resized to 1356x2048px. What I get is 1356x2047 instead, one pixel too short on the long side. This doesn't happen for all images source resolutions and ratios though. I haven't figured out the pattern yet.
I'm working for a client watermark his images. He has designed a watermark in PS CS6 that extends across the bottom of the image, the full width of the image. Like this:
Obviously, the images to be watermarked are all different widths and the watermark gets scaled up or down accordingly which is not the desired effect. On tall/thin images, the watermark is barely visible. Vice versa on wide or square images. I have tried many different widths of the watermark based on the widest and thinnest images. It works, but still not the desired effect for my client.
I've installed the Adobe Watermark Panel, but it seems that it wants to resize images with a width/height box on the right of the image quality and ppi boxes. (I might be reading that wrong though)
I've also tried several freeware programs. All work fine, but my client doesn't seem to think so.
So the question is, can I apply a watermark that doesn't get scaled? I know image height is a factor. I could write my own application to do it, but this seems like a re-inventing the wheel issue. I think the watermark should be scaled in height to a percentage of the image being watermarked and any excess width should be cut or truncated.
I need precise image sizing for matting and framing.
If I chose a width of 11.5 in Cell Size, why are my prints larger than that? Margins are 0 (which shouldn't matter anyway on 13" paper). I need .75" on each side.
My image is cropped to 2:3 ratio, same as my camera. What am I missing?
Is there a way of scaling the "outline" when scaling the image... automatically? It seem that this has to be checked in the "Outline Pen" dialogue box every time you add an "outline" to an image.......and it starts to become a tedious task if you forget to do that to an entire project.
That just happened to me with 30 different images. I had to go back and "check" the box to every single outline.
When you size the outline of an object on your properties bar to say "4.0pt.". And check "size with image" in "Object properties" docker
And when you either expand or contract your image...shouldn't your "Object Properties" docker show the size of the outline relative to the size of the outline when you expand or contract your image.
Example: outline is 4.0pt. on object........when expanded to a size bigger the outline is let's say 8.234pt. In the "object Properties" docker the outline says 4.0pt. Shouldn't it show "8.234pt. as well?
When I export an image and specify the maximum dimensions in the Image Sizing section, Lightroom only honors the maximum width or height if both original dimensions are below the requested setting.
For example, I have an image with original dimensions of 2592x1936.
If I export using 1935x1935 in the Image Sizing section with option "Width & Height" or "Dimension", I get an exported file with dimensions 1935x1445. The "width" is properly constrained to the maximum value I've entered.
However, if I export using 1937x1937, the resulting exported file has dimensions 2592x1936--the original size of the image.I've tried the same with an original image of 1936x2592 and get similar results.
I am a C# developer and not very familiar with coreldraw(when using with c#). My problem is that i am programmatically importing image on a curve using the following C# code.
d.ActiveLayer.Import(imgpath);// image path is path of the cdr file
var v = d.ActiveShape; v.SizeHeight = 20.00; v.SizeWidth = 15.00; v.AddToPowerClip(s);
Now when i run this code the image gets placed into the curve bit it gets stretched vertically means the face of a student(that comes from imagepath) get stretched vertically..When i do this Manually with scaling and sizing ratio locked it gets properly inserted in curve....
I am a digital scrapbook designer and I, and several fellow designers, have just started experiencing some odd behavior in CS. It is occuring on both Mac and PC platforms and in versions of CS3 through 5.
We create 12 x 12 in (3600 x 3600 px) 300 dpi documents used by our customers as "backgrounds" for digital scrapbooking kits. We save the documents as jpg's Basline Standard, anywhere from 8-12. Sometimes, if we open a saved jpg and place (drag) it onto a new 12 x 12 document, we notice that the saved file is just a bit and sometimes as much as an 8th of an inch smaller than the new document, even though they are both 12 x 12, 300 dpi. Additionally sometimes when we drag the saved files from Finder or Windows Explorer to a new document while holding the shfit key to center placement, we're still off by that same 8th of an inch. Sometimes, if we align the horizontonal and vertical, the same jpg will be perfectly aligned and no longer too small for the 12 x 12 document and sometimes you can very clearly see the edges of the layer beneath.
This issue is driving us nuts because it just started happening recently and our customers, who very often have their finished scrapbook pages printed, have also started noticing. I don't have a clue where start trouble-shooting this.
I have created a polka dot pattern (.125 inch) on Photoshop CS6. When I print it out at home it comes out perfectly. However, I need larger print outs so, I corresponded with FedEx print to make them for me. The issue is that the dots come out a bit smaller than .125 inch.
How do I size a picture in Adobe? Either before I make changes to the picture or after, I go to 'Image' then 'image size' and I try to change the dimensions of the photograph, but it automatically it refers to its own preferred size. How do I unlock it so as to adjust it to my likings?
I have been unable to print several resized images onto one single picture.
I have been resizing an image by selecting an area, copying, creating a new blank image via NEW>CLIPBOARD and then pasting the image onto the blank canvas. Then going to IMAGE>IMAGE SIZE and changing to the required size.
This works fine for printing one image but if I copy and paste a couple of images onto a new canvas the images are not the original size.
If I use 'save for web' and resize the image to a specific pixel width and height, how do I know if it is resized at 72 pixels per inch, 96 pixels etc? Are there specs for low, high, maximum quality in the Save for Web tool?
I'm trying to do is create a new background that is 4x6 then I want to drag and drop a photo onto it that is 4x6. When I do the photo is much smaller than the new background.
I have Microsoft picture and fax viewer that I use to show off my pictures in a slide show. I can get an awesome zoom to see minute details. How can I do this in Photoshop? Many times, the image becomes blury or pixelated. Some pics, I only want a small detail, so I try zooming in and using the marque tool to capture it and place in a new image, but it there a better way to do this to keep the clarity of the picture?
I have created an action to re-size images as I have 700 to do. BUT when I try to batch process I keep getting the Jpeg option box open to set image quality. This only happens when trying to batch process original straight out of the camera images. If I try to batch already saved images it works ok. Does anyone have any idea how to get around this? I'm using CS and Win XP home.
I have created a Photoshop image to print on a 8.5 x 11 inch canvas size (letter paper) and have scaled the document inside the canvas with 1/4 inches on all sides of the image. However shows that the image is over and above the allowable printable area for a letter size page.
I have to resize the image for printing to get the entire image in the letter size page. Problem is, the image gets off center once resized for printing.
Is there any set margins in photoshop or by the printer to require a border ? margins ? i am stumped as the image is within the 8.5x11" canvas size, but shows the image as larger (oustside the printable area) on the print preview....thinking there is some unwritten safety margins on the letter document i have missed.
Save for Web has an option for Image Size, it's a tab on the right side of the Save for Web window (Photoshop CS).
Well, I tried to resize the size in this window, saved the file, closed every open file and reopened that resized file that I had save with that resize option. Turns out that nothing was resized
I tried it several time, still the same size, even double checked in image/image size.
So what's going on here? I just discovered this option today and thought it would be useful to post images/screenshots to the internet... that is... if it works.
I am using Photoshop CS6 13.0.1 x64 and I can't seem to get the settings for a new document to stick.
When I make a new document my color profile never matches my color settings (RGB: Adobe RGB (1998); CMYK: U.S. Sheetfed Coated v2; Convert to Working RGB; Convert to Working CMYK; Ask when opening), it always is reset to sRGB. Also, when I create a new document it doesn't seem to remember either what I used last or what is in my clipboard - it always resets to 1 x 67.
have a 3rd party illustration software program that can import my work into Photoshop (PSD). My probelem is with resizing my canvas in the 3rd party software for print needs. Would you reccomend Photoshop to assist me with resizing/scaling my imported image(s) for regular and larger professional print needs?
I have a MAC OS X which has 3 users. I have been playing with textures and on one user I am able to move the texture on top a photo and size it to fit. On the other user I am not able to size as the sizing info does not appear. I have tried different shots but nothing changes.
I have a .pdf with 4 signatures (John Hancock) that are HUGE!
- I can highlight each signature individually and save each one as a separate .bmp
- Opening the signature in photoshop (CS3) the picture looks great when it's big! I can print from photoshop and it looks marvelous on paper.
- When I size it down to the size that I need (W:120 H:45 pxls) it looks like crap when it's printed (which is what the signatures are for). They are very pixelated.
Is there anything I can do, to take a gorgeous large .bmp and turn it into a gorgeous small .bmp?
I've been using photoshop at work to create covers for CDs, but we have two types of CD case, the normal kind, and on that's kind of a smaller version of a DVD case.
When I created the cover for the normal CD cases I measured up the correct sizes and inputted them when I create the new file. The cover looked much bigger than actual size when it appeared on screen, making working on it much easier, but then when it printed, it printed at the correct size.
When I came to make the cover for the second kind of case I did everything exactly the same as far as I can tell, but the cover doesn't look bigger on screen this time, it appears on screen at actual size, making working on it much harder. Then when it prints off, it still prints at the correct size but looks terribly blurred.
I have no idea what has caused the two different projects to behave so differently. Any one have any ideas? Have I accidentally changed some setting somewhere?
