Photoshop :: Printing To PDF - Image Shrinks To About 1/10 The Size
Aug 16, 2012
I'm having an issue when printing to PFD from Photoshop. My image size is 7" x 10" and when I view it in the print preview window (I add crop marks) it looks fine printing to 8.5" x 11". Once printed, the image shrinks to about 1/10 the size and is in the upper left hand corner of the letter sized sheet.
Using Boxed VS ProX5, windows 7 home. VS seems to somehow shrink the file size when rendering and I am perplexed why.
For example, I edited a 2 1/2 hr project and hit the share tab to create a dvd 9.5 VS indicated that I was oversize for that size disc and I had to reduce the bit rate to compensate. (attempts to burn it oversized seem to produce errors at 99%). Based on my modified project settings, the colored bar at the bottom of the screen indicated that I was at the maximum end of yellow, and over 7 GB in size but my rendered iso image was only 6.2 GB. How does this happen? How can I create oversized DVD files? I prefer to "shrink" them in another program.
I am trying to PASTECLIP a portion of one drawing to another. The original drawing is the correct size however when it is put into the second drawing it shrinks exactly 3 times its size. I have checked the properties and they are the same.
This is issue arises when i have been working on a drawing for a while with multiple xref/data shortcuts. The model space text is all the correct size yet once I enter a layout the annotative text relating to 3D elements such as Alignments/Profile Station/Elevation Labels shrink to 1/25 their size. Other annotative objects such as Mtext and Multileaders are not effected. Attached are before and after pictures.
I have recently upgraded to Gimp 2.8.3 on my Mac OS Snow Leopard, primarily for the new "export to PDF" feature that would keep text searchable within PDF.
The results are very odd... The text in the exported PDF is, indeed, searchable and copyable, but the font size shrinks drastically (see attached screenshot).
When I add a image to my background my background shrinks to the top left hand corner of canvas. I have been trying to do this every night for a week now and held out posting until I gave up. Also when I try to paste an image I get a message saying I don't have enough memory (I have 20 GB of memory free). I tried to find Pleska plugin for adding from file but could not find it.
When I select an area of my image using magnetic lasso tool, instead of selecting the area I've drawn around - the selection shrinks and it'll merely select a small section of image.
I am editing at 100%, with square pixels, and no feather.
EVERY time I release the mouse button in CS6 (fully updated), the Info window shows the marquee dimenstions shrink by either 1 or 2 pixels (and I see the marquee visibly move as well). This make it IMPOSSIBLE to accurately to certain kinds of editing. I have to go back to my old CS3 to be as productive! (Current workaround: edit at 200%... but I can't see all I need that way.)
I am definitely not moving the mouse, because a) it is EVERY time, b) it is never more than 2 pixels, c) it is always a shrink, not an increase, and d) I use a trackpad: my finger is off the pad and no movement is possible, then I let go of the button and the numbers change.
Is there some workaround/fix, or is this just another bug?
how I can print an image at one to one so that the print is at size as. I believe there is a quick way of calculating this in PS but unsure where to begin.
The image which will contain a ruler as a point of reference needs to be printed at its actual size.
I have created a document in photoshop sized 8.5x11, the same size as my printer paper, at 300dpi. I am using the ruler guidelines onscreen to make an image 6 3/4" wide, but it is printing out too small at 6".
I am not measuring onscreen by putting an actual ruler up against my screen, I am using the photoshop ruler (so I am sizing according to the 6 3/4" ruler in photoshop, even if it is 8" on my screen)
In the print settings, I uncheck "scale to fit media" and "center image".
I have CS5. The photos coming out of the camera are 300 dpi and approx 12.8" x 19.2". When I crop the photo to 300 dpi and 8x10 and send it to print, the printer says the photo is too small. It comes across as 72 dip and 8.333" x 6.667". I was expecting photos to come out of the camera with 72 dpi and a huge length x width. I can then crop and print without issue. Is there a photoshop setting that needs to be set? Is there a different work flow I need to use? I shoot with a 5D Mark III.
I was designing a membership card for a company and set a resolution of 300 and I can't remember what document size I set originally.
Anyway, my sizes now are as follows:
Pixel Dimensions: W 700, H 410 Document Size: 5.93cm X 3.47cm Resolution: 300 pixels/inch
When I save my psd as any image type, my image is MUCH bigger than 5.93 x 3.47. How can I save it so that it is the size I want, but still the good image quality (resolution) and so I get the same size when I print it.

Whenever I start a new box of text, I set it to an area big enough to write. As soon as I type the letter the box automatically shrinks to the size of the first letter. This only happens sometimes, but when it happens I am frustrated. Do you know why this happens, and can I stop it?
I am trying to convert a psd file that is a 36"X80" banner to a pdf file. In the past, I have printed to PDF and all has been fine. Today the Print to PDF fails... it doesn't give me an error it just pretends like it prints to pdf with the status box popping up for a second, then nothing. So I attempted to Save As a PDF instead this worked, but resulted in pdf with a file size of 453M! This is much larger than the pdf's I was getting before, in the 3-ish M file size..
Running Mac os x 10.8.2 and Photoshop CS6. I have an Epson R2880 and so far only used Epson paper. I was able to find all the paper settings but i decided to buy a new German paper.
I downloaded the ICC profile, copied it to /Library/ColorSync/Profiles (and actually any other path that i could find in there). When i open the print dialog i cannot set that paper in either Photoshop or the Epson dialog.
I then removed ALL the ICC files from that path and... surprise. All the profiles are still shown in Photoshop.
I am trying to print multiple copies of a passport size photo on one sheet of paper. At the moment Elements organisor is only letting me print one copy per sheet of A4 paper, when I could fit in 20 copies on one page if I knew how. how to fit multiplee copies of a custom size image on one sheet?
Since bipes didn't work out for me I switched to regular bones which work just fine. But now I got the problem that the calf bones right and left are starting to shrink if i rotate the joint. I have a similiar problem with the feet. If I rotate the calf the feet start to grow...
I attached two pics to show the problem. What the heck is causing this?
I have hundreds of pictures from a recent trip that I want to print to a 4x6 print. The problem is that the pictures were taken in the incorrect ratio for this print size. I want the entire picture - with a white border around it if necessary. I can get Elements 9 to do this for me for home printing from the print screen and selecting the print size that I want. However, I want to upload these photos to an online printing service (snap fish, shutter fly, etc). I have tried using their digital print size option on Snap fish, but it still crops my pictures.
So, 1. How can I get elements to save the file for me in a compatible 4x6 ratio without cropping, that I can use to upload to a printing service? 2. How can I do this in a batch process as there are over 1000 pictures that have this issue? 3. If elements can't do this, what software can
I have a small sublimation business whereby I print photo's onto small personalised gifts such as mugs, phone covers fridge magnets. I print out the images to fit the size of the gift i.e. a phone cover or mug the images are a specific size.
Often I want to print multiple items onto one page each with a customised size as the paper is expensive and I need to make the most of every sheet. I can't figure out how to do this in photoshop elements 12. I am using windows XP
I have a AE Comp (1280x720 Square Pixels) in a Premiere Pro timeline (HDV 720p, 1280x720) through Dynamic Link. In my timeline everything is fine and the same size. When I render the timeline in PP it stays the same size, everything is a lovely 720. However, when I export it as a H.264 using Media Encoder the AE comp shrinks to what looks to be 480p. The rest of the text and video in the timeline stays 720, but the AE comp shrinks and has a black box letterbox around it.
I was able to export from AMC with a Quicktime preset of 720p 24fps and it did not shrink. Additionally I bypassed AMC and exported directly from PP and the comp did not resize.
I am trying to create some images in PS2 that have to be 3.5 to 4.0 mb. When viewing the Image Size screen, I might see an image size of 9.6 mb. However, when I save the image and run my mouse over the image in Bridge, it shows a size between 2 to 3 mb. I can't figure out why this discrepancy, or what math I need to do in order to figure out how to create the required image size other than by trial and error.
