Photoshop :: Image Editing Workflow For Fine Art Printing
Aug 26, 2013
I'm developing a workflow and I would like to see how the images of professional photographers look like in PS at the end of the process ... ready for printing.
Â
Here is my workflow in PS for B&W photo (Hue/Saturation adjustment layer is not needed for a B&W photo as known):
Â
After making all tone and color adjustments in LR, I open the image as a smart object in PS ... and rest is on the above image, showing my layers panel in PS at the end of the developing process.
Â
At the end of the work, if I print with PS, I select all the layers and convert them to a smart object together and I apply output sharpening ... but if I print with LR, I save and close the file without output sharpening and I use the sharpening options on the print module in LR.

When I select Landscape printing, Photoshop CS6 waitis a moment and then goes back to portrait printing. And it will not print landscape. I still have CS5.1 and it works fine.

For my business card design I have white text overlapping an area of very white grey- causing readability issues (insufficient contrast). It looks great apart from this one problem, so I still want to keep my white text and light background and fix it by separating the text and background with a darker drop shadow..
Â
First, I added a black drop shadow to the text- but this was not enough to increase readability (text still looked faded on background as drop shadow was too subtle at 85% opacity, 0.04" blur) so I added a drop shadow to my drop shadow (100% opacity, 0.02" blur + 18% opacity, 0.02" blur). This produced a heavier drop shadow effect for my text as desired but, for some reason, the text came out slightly grey in print (offset run). It seems the drop shadow somehow got printed over the text itself to some extent- turning the white text somewhat grey (and so not looking as clean as intended).
Â
How could this dropshadow bleed into the text happen? Is it to do with the fact I added a drop shadow to my drop shadow? I would have thought that, even then, the text should entirely overlap all of the drop shadow as the text is the top layer in the group.
Â
What can I do to ensure that drop shadow does not print over text in any way in future? Do I have to stick to only one layer of dropshadow-or is there something else I'm missing?

Lightroom 4.3 runs smoothly if I work on unmodified images.
Â
However, if I apply modifications on an image, retouching it afterwards becomes much slower, even if I render a preview AFTER I made modifications on the image.
Â
I tell you an example: I import a raw file to the program and I render it`s preview. Then I retouch the image - it works very fast, no waiting time, no Loading overlay.Where the problem starts: I import a raw file, I apply some modifications on it (for example a preset), then I render it`s preview - then I want to do more modifications on the image, which becomes very slow.
Â
I was monitoring the cpu usage of the computer. In the first case, the cpu usage during modifying the image is normal.In the second case, it goes up to 100%. It seems that applying modifications on an image makes working on it slow, no matter if you have the most up-to-date preview or not.

I have started learning about editing photos , I want to edit photos for printing only. Therefore I need to know about resizing , however, I have spent weeks , reading and watching videos about this , and they all speak the same editing language without being specifically about what is needed, I mean the rules to follow etc and process that is involved.
For example,of this, resolution and pixel ,dots per inch,they all mention of the name of them, and mention "put photos in a number of of 200 ppi," without given any detailed explanation about why this is so!, when there are so many other numbers from the same category. In order to resize a photo there is needs to be more specific information that is needed about it when photo editing is involved, 'custom' resize photos.

I have PSP 15.2.0.12, win 7 64-bit machine with ample power and graphics card. Regularly run multiple CAD programs and so on.
When I double-click the desktop icon to launch the product it crashes - always.
When I double-click an image in Windows Explorer, it launches OK and opens the file with the Edit tab active.
How to resolve the dbl-clk desktop death?

I am developing a flyer for my photography business. It is going to be printed in black and white on recycled craft paper card stock (light brown). I have seen examples of photos edited so that they are essentially just blacks - no whites - and they print really nicely on craft paper. See attached. Any way to do this in LR, and if so, how?

This post is regarding using Designer Pro to edit print ready PDF's (with crop marks, colour bars etc) created using Photoshop and Illustrator. I can do the edits, but if I try and export the file it corrupts (colour values change, some text changes col)
The files are supplied to me by a designer and sometimes I need to do urgent changes myself before going to print. I have unticked the 'add printers marks' box to avoid a double set of marks and colour bars and have the fonts installed too.

I've been trying to retouch a few photos now for a while but I just can't get them right, they still look pretty crappy even after I've been fooling around with them in Photoshop. So it'd be cool if someone please could pull a few tricks out of the hat and show me how it's done.

Someone shot this with a bad camera, at night, with a flash, and I'm trying to correct it.
The biggest issue I have is the fleshtones in this photo. This looks like it was shot in the 60s or something. Can't seem to adjust hues, color balance, etc. to get any improvement.
This is just a low-res version I saved out--

I'm currently an Art Major in school, and I've been studying examples from the Art Nouveau era. I've been sketching out symmetrical designs, scanning them and mirroring them on Photoshop.
All has gone well so far, however, I'm now trying to figure out how to clean it up and make it look "perfect". In terms of being perfect, I want it to look completely clean. I darkened the lines as much as I could and erased as much as I could, however, I've tried different things such as blurring, sharpening, and adjusting levels, but the lines still seem too jagged from the sketching. I'm wanting to smooth them out and make them look nice.
Here is my drawing:
and here is an example of what I would like it to look like(minus the completely filled in black part)
You see how crisp it is? No jagged edges, completely smooth and clean. This is what I want.

I am using a font to place a heading on my webpage. I'm trying to create my heading in photoshop because visitors won't have the font I am using.
My font has some white in it, I save as a .gif with a transparent background, when I view it on the page the background shows in the white spots inside the letters. I want to edit the image to place white in these spots but keep the transparent background, If I flatten the image the transparent background no longer exists.
I am using Photoshop 5

I have a strange issue with my Epson R3880 printer:Â when I make up a composite image in Photoshop CS5 12.0.4 by cutting and pasting from various other images (then flattening the layers), I cannot get it to print although the printer goes through the motions, but nothing appears on the paper; also the print head doesn't attempt to print over that part of the paper where the image should be appearing (I'm actually doing proofing).
I've reinstalled Photoshop and the latest printer drivers, and tried to print it in other applications (Photoshop Elements and Gimp). Any other images (ie non-cut and paste) print satisfactorily. I did speak to someone on the Epson help desk who told me he thought it was a Photoshop problem, but the fact that the image won't print in Gimp suggests this may not be the case. The only thing I can think is that something in CS5 which created the image causes an allergic reaction in the printer! I'm running Vista x64.

I dont know if this has something directly to do with photoshop but i dunno the right place to post this so here it goes:
i want to print a/some wallpapers...they at max are 1600x1200pixels...i looked at some posters in my room and they are about ~100cm high, ~70cm width...
to have some kind of feeling of what could be the final result i opened photoshop and in IMAGE SIZE i saw that bellow in the form there is a thing called "IMAGEM SIZE" where it says that my 1600x1200 pixels image is 56,44x42,33 cm's...this means that if i printed the image just like it is it would have that size? or is it a something else thing?

I made a letterhead for somebody, saved it as a gif, and put the image in Microsoft Word. I tried to print it out, but the text was blurry, although it looked clear in the document. How exactly do I go about printing these letter heads? I saved it as a .gif but now I realize I cannot. How do I go about changing the DPI settings and printing this thing so that it looks as crisp as it should be? The size of the image is 668 x 128.

I've downloaded the trial of Photoshop CS6, and imported image sequences and video files. But whenever I use a filter or make another edit, it only affects the frame currently being displayed. Is there any way to apply a change to all frames of the sequence or video at once?

For some reason with my Photoshop CS3, the image adjustments; i.e. contrast, brightness, etc. , are completely missing when the image is printed. The image file after saving looks fine on screen in a photo viewer, but when printed, the image reverts back to pre-edited state.
Things like cropping,color and transforming carry over , but the image adjustments don't . This is really strange, you would think that once an edited image was saved, all the changes to it are now permanent no matter what form it's displayed.
How is printing the image reversing the image adjustment editing to the file? Is there some kind of setting that it's in thats making it do this?

I am designing slides in Photoshop using the DV video preset. Except I want to use these same files for print output as well. So here is my workflow: 1) Created video preset template but resized to 300 dpi2) Create slides3) Output slides to 72 dpi jpg4) Put into Premiere Elements5) Burn to DVD (except my app won't recognize my DVD burner now so I have to use Windows DVD maker but that is a different topic.) Then, I am using the same slides in a printed album:1) Switch the resolution on the 300 dpi to "square" pixels2) Save as jpg for my album template3) Put into a page frame I made out of an 8.5 x 11 doc (plus required bleed) So, my question is, do I need to switch to square pixels? I am not sure which way the picture was originally scanned, but I think switching to square pixels should be accurate...it is just that they are looking wide and I may just have gotten used to the other way. The rectangle pixel document actually fits onto the 8.5 x 11 album page better...but I want to do it the "right" way for print.

I have resized a photo to 406 x 305mm with the image size & canvas size dialogue box set correctly, but when I print the image it comes out as 240 x 170mm.
I have tried every printing option to get the correct print, but it just aint happening.
I have tried scaled to fit media (on & off), custom printing size, a3 printing size.

I've been printing my images and even with a calibrated monitor they come out darker than what's on my monitor. I'm using the proper printer and paper profiles and got to wondering if my problem might be that I'm printing the psd. In essence, before saving it I just print the image once I've made adjustments to layers, etc.

I have a JPG image that I want to edit with photoshop 7. I know that if I edit directly the JPG image and save again as new JPG image, the quality of the new saved image will be degraded. Experienced user know that because JPG is a lossy format.
I want to retain the quality of the edited image. Then I heard that the TIFF format is a lossless format that support compression.
