Photoshop :: Print Size/100%

Jul 10, 2006

I've done a photo merge and am working on it at a size of 12cm (h) x 57cm because my poor old mac is able to save changes faster at this size.

The real size I want to print it at is much, much bigger - a banner. When i choose print size, it looks pretty good (about 30%), but if I zoom it to 100% its really jagged. Which do I believe in terms of print quality? Will it print how it looks at 100%?

Photoshop :: Image Size Related To Print Size

Jan 9, 2003

I'm using Photoshop 7. I create a new document 8.5 x 11 inches at 150 pixels per inch.

I draw a circle 1" from the top of the image. The circle is 3" in radius.

When I print the circle is nearly .25" smaller in radius and slightly less than 1" from the top.

Why is the output not in the same placement and proportions as the image on the screen?

Photoshop :: CS5.1 - Print Size Is Not Image-size?

Mar 29, 2012

I have CS5.1 on a Macbook Pro.I have an incredibly frustrating problem.    I've seen similar questions, but not an answer that has resolved this for me. I have an image  I have sized to fit an 8.5 x 11 inch paper.  Canvas and image size all indicate my image is sized at 7.33 x 11 inches.  It is at 300 dpi.  Print size  view indicates full space is utilized on either side….BUT…
 
When I go to print, I click "scale to fit media" (which is an 8.5 x 11 paper sitting in printer)  image prints smaller  with a bar on one side.  .
When I uncheck STFM,
I get:
scale  - 92.67%,

Photoshop :: Working Size Vs. Print Size

Jul 16, 2004

The rule of thumb for traditional illustration work is to do the original about 1/3 larger than it will be printed to allow for some tightening up. My question is, when working in photoshop at 300 dpi, is there any reason to work larger than the print size?

Lightroom :: Setting Print Size To A3 Or Bigger Using 5 For Printing At Print Shop?

Feb 28, 2014

I have just bought and installed Lightroom 5 and need to set my print size to A3 and in the future even bigger. I do not have the facility at home and need to have them sized correctly for the print shop so they do not have to waste time resizing them. I am at a loss how to do this. I cant find any settings for this size print. A3 is roughly 42 x 29.7 cm.

AutoCad :: 2012 Layout Print And Designjet T2300 / D Size Incorrect Print Rotation

Jun 13, 2012

I have a template with layouts of different sizes that had been working fine with a previous Xerox 6204. My D size and E size automatically oriented with the 36" side parallel to the roll feed. I have since moved to a job that got a Designjet T2300. On this machine the D size orients the 24" side parallel. This wastes 1' of paper on the left and uses 1' extra as it runs the 36" side perpendicular. I have been unable to rectify the problem. I have tried printing in portrait, that actually cut off some of the image. I have tried all types of rotation within the driver and layouts. Tech support had me going into the machine settings and set rotation to 90. Nothing. There is a warning that "HP utilities" is not installed. Could this be a remedy? When the tech came to set up the printer he installed the necessary drivers but mad no mention of this utility.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Size PDFs That Are Not Full Or Half Size

Feb 17, 2011

Our supplier sent us some wierd size pdfs that are not full size or half size. I am trying to resize them to full size pdfs (Arch D) but am unable to figure this out in Acrobat.

My work-around is to insert them in AutoCAD and scale them based on known dimensions, then print to pdf. Unfortunately the resulting file is collosal and the quality degraded.

GIMP :: Pixel Size To Print A Certain Size

Oct 17, 2013

I want to create a template whereby I can make a series of images that I can save as jpgs, upload to my blog, and people can print them. When they print, I want them to be one quarter of a sheet of paper (fit four to a page).

I tried creating a new image using the "inches" specification and those inches seem to have no bearing on inches in real life once printed.

So then I figured that a sheet of paper is 8.5 by 11 and I want a resolution of 300 dpi.

So 8.5 times 300: 2,550 pixels. Times that by 0.25 to get a quarter of it: 637.5 (which gets rounded to 638 pixels).

11 times 300: 3,300 pixels. Times that by 0.25= 825 pixels.

So I put in for 638 pixels by 825 pixels and 300 dpi. I created my image. I saved it as a jpg at full resolution. I uploaded it to my site and tested out the printing.

It took up most of a sheet of paper. Not even close to being a quarter of a sheet.

GIMP :: Print Size Changes In 2.8 To Wrong Size

May 7, 2013

I've been using 2.6 and created a template for multiple business cards on a standard 8.5 by 11 sheet. [URL]

However the later versions ... 2.8 cause distortions when I try to print. ( Canon MG 2120) The standard 8.5 by 11 mysteriously converts to 7.997 by 10.349 inches .... and a weird 318.870 ppi appears. This obviously distorts my template and the 2 by 3.5 inch cards become odd sizes. When I open the template in 2.6, it works perfectly.

What has happened to the later version? i can't reset to inches and even using the 2559 by 3300 pixils with the 1050x600 card sizecan't be printed accurately So I'm now creating in 2.8 and opening in 2.6 to get my sizes correctly.

I love the expanded tools for drawing in the 2.8 ... but this feature is a nuisance ... along of course with the terrible sizing scale for the brushes. SO hard to calibrate the smaller and moe common sizes. Another bad feature.

Have I missed some adjustment somewhere. Using the same printer, same download gives two different prints sizes in 2.6 and 2.8.

Illustrator :: Same Print Size / Same DPI But Different Size On Screen?

Jul 10, 2012

lately I've been started working on Illustrator, since I've always loved the vector pen tool in Photoshop, but I've notice something...

let's say I want to work on an A4 page. I start a new PRINT document, and set the A4 size at 300 DPI. If I do that on Photoshop, I'll get a huge white page that at 100% goes way out my screen, but if I start a document with the same size in Illustrator, I get a page that's smaller than my screen (at 100%).

I guess it's normal because those programs might work in different ways, but I'm concerned about it because this way, in Illustrator a 1pt size brush will always be bigger than in Photoshop.

Photoshop :: Can't Print Legal-size Image To Legal-size Paper

Oct 26, 2013

I go through a lot of sketch stages to get to a final picture, and I sometimes print on legal paper. My Brother printer does fine at that with Apple Pages, MSWord, Acrobat, and Illustrator, but with Photoshop there's a problem. I set up a legal-size image in PS, go through all the settings I can find for printing to a non-letter-format sheet, hit print, and what I get is a letter-size patch of image on a legal-size sheet. Clearly, either I am missing something or PS is missing something.

Photoshop :: Pre-Size PPI For Best Print?

Mar 14, 2012

In another thread it is mentinoed pre-sizing image data to prepare it for best printing.For a long time it's been "standard advice" to resize images so that the ppi is an even division of the printer's dpi, because some years ago occasionally one would run across printers that would produce poor results if you didn't - you might see jaggies in straight edges for example.
 
Thing is, computers have (not so) quietly been getting more powerful over time, and printer makers have been competing with one another to try to make their printers produce better results than the other guys.  One way they've done this is by improving the quality of the algorithms in the printer drivers.  Use of mega storage and high accuracy math, which was once taxing on older computer systems, is now standard practice.
 
Making a few assumptions about the many variables (what printer, what OS, what version of drivers, what application being used to print) , there seem to be several questions here:
 
1.  Can the image resolution be too high, causing the printer driver to make bad decisions about what ink dots to lay down where on the paper?
2.  Does it matter if the image PPI is an even division of the printer's DPI?
 
As I have done in the past, I set out to do some actual testing, to see if I can actually SEE anything to answer these questions.I created a sharp image to be printed at 3 x 2 inches:  [URL]...

Then I printed it at 6 different resolutions (1000, 720, 567, 300, 200, and 100 ppi) by resampling the image, labeling it, printing from Photoshop CS5, and feeding the same sheet of HP Premium Plus photo paper through my older HP 932c inkjet printer 6 times.  The printer was set to its highest quality settings, including 2400 x 1200 dpi mode.  This was the result:
 
I then looked critically and as objectively as I could at the different images.  Here are my observations:Naked eye:
 
The four highest resolution images (1000, 720, 567, and 300 ppi) all seemed to have an equivalent high level of crisp detail.I could not detect the inkjet dots.  Smooth objects look smooth. 

I could see significant reduction in the finest details in the 300 ppi print vs. the three higher resolution prints, and a slight reduction in the 567 ppi vs. 720.At no resolution were any jaggies or evidence of aliasing visible.The inkjet dot pattern was plainly visible, and it does differ between the different prints.  But it was not possible to say whether one was "better".Things seem to have a little more texture in the 1000 ppi print vs. the 720 and 567 ppi prints. 

Lacking a high resolution scanner, I took photographs of the 6 different prints.  Unfortunately, I didn't have the time to set up with my best lighting and lens combination, so I got some reflections off the glossy paper, and and at this resolution I can't really see the inkject dots in the photos.  I want to repeat this when I can find more time to do it better.  As I did these photos hand-held, I believe the variances between them could be slightly influencing the results.  But I'm going to post them anyway, for you to see.
 
I could see ever so slightly more detail in the 720 ppi print vs. the 1000 ppi print, though from the size of the tiny dust/light reflections I think it may have just been the better focused.  Note that this observation is not supported by direct observation through the jeweler's loupe, above.The 1000 ppi and 567 ppi prints seems to have slightly more noise or texture than the 720 ppi print. 

Again, this might be issues introduced by the photography process, though I did note a possible increase in texture in the 1000 ppi print with the jeweler's loupe as well.Beyond just the blurring, I could see some evidence that straight lines are not quite as straight in the lower resolutions (300 ppi and lower).  This seemed more apparent than with the jeweler's loupe examination, and I wonder whether the Photoshop downsampling process could have introduced it. 
 
Left to right, top to bottom:  1000, 720, 567, 300, 200, 100:

Conclusions:
 
Printing to my HP 932c inkject printer on Windows 7 x64
 
300 ppi is not sufficient to coax the best possible detail out of an inkjet printer.  It appears a number in the vicinity of 720 or more is better, and this number could be much higher with modern very high resolution printers (mine's old).  Speed was no different in printing any of these - a modern computer can process a huge amount of data in the blink of an eye.When a sufficiently high resolution image is printed (in this case 567 ppi or higher)

I saw virtually no evidence that a particular ppi value is superior, for example an even division of the printer's dpi, though in hindsight I realize I should have prepared a 600 ppi image (duh).  I will add a 600 ppi image before I re-photograph the results.It's possible ever so slightly more texture becomes visible at 1000 ppi than 720 ppi, but it might be just noise.Practically speaking, from looking critically at the results I could not see a reason to pre-size the image for a specific ppi value.

I also have pictures from my new camera, canon 7d and it's picture size is 3456 poixel(48in) X 5184 pixel(72in) , also can't get these sized correctly.

Photoshop :: CS3 / CS4 - What Causes Print Size Distortion

Jul 5, 2012

Why would images print significantly smaller than designed (I'm referring to the ruler size, NOT the screen size) when the pixel aspect ratio in Photoshop is set to square pixels and 300 dpi?  Does Premier or AE reset PhotoShop pixel dimenions on the sly in the Master Collection?
 
We have a summer intern designing business card size (3.5" x 2") inspiration cards on an old laptop that was used for video production with with the CS3 Master Collection and a CS4 Production Premium upgrade.
 
The 3.5 x 2.0 cards print out at about 3 3/8" by 1 15/16" on every one of the half dozen different printers we've tried them on, including FedEx Office locations and several different Lexmark office printers. Image size is 1050 px by 600 px, i.e., 3.5" by 2.0"
 
When we lay out a number of cards on an 8" x 11" sheet and save it as a pdf, and then open the pdf in Photoshop and measure the image sizes, each card clearly measures 3.5" by 2" but still prints in the distorted 3 3/8" by 1 15/16" size.
 
The smaller print problem persists if we save the images as tif, jpg or bmp.  Opening the files and resaving them in CS5.5 doesn't work either.  It's a problem with both the CS3 and CS4 versions of Photoshop on that laptop.
 
It looks like something is forcing the pixels into a smaller rectangular shape but I don't know where else to look to try to fix it.
 
Our CS5.5 Master Collection Photoshop is doing the same thing, only not as much.  I'd like to be able to print the cards close to actual size.  The problem persists for 5.5" x 8.5" bookcover designs too.

Photoshop :: Setting Print Size

Aug 10, 2012

Here's a quick tip where you can set the magnification of  "View > Print Size" to reflect the actual physical size of your document.
 
1.  Measure the horizontal viewable size of your monitor or laptop screen.  For example: 13.75 inches. 
2.  Note your horizontal resolution. 1366 pixels for instance. 
3.  Divide pixels into inches to get your screen resolution per inch.  1366/13.75 = 99.3 pixels/in  
4   In Photoshop's Preferences > Units & Rulers, enter this value under New Document Preset Resolutions shown in the screenshot.  Save and close.
 
After that,when you select Print Size,the document and even the onscreen rulers will reflect actual size. Now with Open GL graphics cards being fairly common,the odd magnification needed for those results won't appear jagged.

Photoshop :: View Print Size In CS6

Apr 5, 2013

Whenever I run 'updates' for Photoshop CS6 the 'view' > 'print size' option disappears & has been replaced with 100% which is not the same thing! I am a designer & need to view 'actual scale' on screen while working & 100% is much, much bigger than this. I have tried playing with the screen pixel ratio & modes as I am on a retina 13" macbook pro but this doesn't make what I see 'real size' on 100% mode either.

I want to benefit from the other functions that the updates provide without this function being disabled. Each time I try running the updates, the same thing happens & I have to reinstall Photoshop from my original CD (therefore loosing all my saved brushes & patterns which is annoying).

Photoshop :: CS4 Print Size Problem

Jan 14, 2009

The print is only 1/4 size of the media off to one corner even though I checked the "Center Image" box and it doesn't matter what paper size I use. It is always 1/4 the size of the media that I select to print on. The print is beautiful and correct in every way except for the size. I have used the adjustments in "Page Setup" and "Scaled Print Size" individually as well as in combination but it still only print 1/4 the size and a corner of the paper. I never have a problem with CS2 and the R1800 before.

Photoshop :: Best Way To Increase Image Size For Print

Sep 12, 2013

I have a jpeg of an image that I will have to increase roughly 140% for a final print size of 16"x20". I am creating the final design in InDesign, but am editing the image in Photoshop first. My question is what's the best way to increase the size of the jpeg first in Photoshop (I assume) so that when I bring it into InDesign it is maximized in terms of resolution but not so large that the file size prohibitive for sending.
 
I've already cropped the image, but haven't adjusted any of the sizes. The dimensions are currently: 3233 pixels x 2586 pixels, and 10.777 in x 8.62 in at 300 pixels per inch.
 
Do I bring it into InDesign this way or increase the document size first in Photoshop?If I increase the size in Photoshop, I assume I should resample the image. If I do, that increases the pixel dimensions and file size to over 82.4M. Is there a way to keep the 300 ppi resolution while reducing the file size?

Photoshop :: How To Show Actual Print Size

May 6, 2013

I was watching a video about Photoshop and the pro broached the subject of how to set your PS preferences, so that you get a true representation of your documents print size. Seems this was a topic a while back and I'm not sure it was ever answered. Here is an explanation and the fix.

Seems that Adobe sets the default for screen resolution in Preferences/ Units and Rulers to 72ppi. Today's monitors are usually more than that, so when you tell PS to show you Print Size, it's going to show you something less than what it actually is. To fix this is actually pretty simple. Here's how.

1. Create a new document 9" x 9" @ 300ppi, use white for the background color.
2. In your zoom mode activate Print Size
3. Grab a tape measure and carefully measure what your seeing on the screen. If it is not 9x9, then your setting is not set properly in Preferences/Units and Rulers.
4. More than likely your measurement is smaller by a good bit. At this point, create a correction factor by dividing 9 by the actual measurement.
5. Then, in the Preferences as previously described, if 72ppi, multiply by the factor you just created and enter it exactly (not rounded) to the decimal point.

Now, when you ask PS to show Print Size it will show you the actual, not something less.

But when I print it using the borderless option. the printout always have about 10mm missing on the right hand side and the bottom of the page, as if the image is too big to fit in the A4 paper... I've tried with "scale to paper size" checked and unchecked. But still no help.
