I'm designing a real-estate flier for a friend and am trying to add some text to a white background. There is going to be plenty of text and photos on the sheet so I'm trying to use a font size of 8. When I printed this out the text was extremely blurry. I tried several different fonts with the same result.
What would be the best setttings to do something like this? I think I'm supposed to use CMYK Mode but am not sure about the resolution or the pixel dimensions.
In Lightroom 4, I need to figure out how large a photo can print and still keep good resolution. I .e., I want to print a photo at 20x30" and I need to know ahead of time that it will look good printed at that size.
so i`ve scanned some pics, and simply used ps to crop them and when i`ve printed them off they`re quite pixilated, especially when they did`t seem that bad on the screen on ps. on the print set up the quality levels are all high photo quality level, so that should`nt be a problem. I`m just wondering what can be done to reduce the pixilation. is there an effect that`s good for this??
noticed that in CS6 is u crop to 72dpi there is way to much sharpening applied to the image as compared to CS5. This is a real pain in the ass especially for a web developer.
I have CS4 and am consistently having problems creating multipage pdf files using Bridge; though they are created using 300 dpi files in Photoshop CS4 the resulting multipage pdfs from Bridge are not print quality. I never had a problem with this before Bridge was required to create pdf presentations.
The files used to create the presentation in Bridge are either psd or Photoshop pdf at 300 dpi. I am completely self-taught in Photoshop and my skill level is moderate at best,
from In2012, I manged some how to put a .bmp picture in the color style.But as you see, it's not good, no good focus neither the piccture continue from the start to the ene, you see lines cutting the picture.
And when I use a color style that already exist in inventor, it looks so good.The picture that I used is attached ( named 1) I will use a better pic.I want my drawings looks almost like my actuale product.
I realize the nature of my question maybe asking the impossible, but I have a low res image I downloaded from the internet, placed in an InDesign page, blew it up and printed it out. I was going for the distressed look that it has, it looks ok when I print it out considering it's low res and I blew it up fairly large. However, it's a little too pixelated to look professional when printed. Are they any tricks or things I can do to make it look higher res for print. I've attached the image as well as a screenshot of the InDesign file so you can see it in context.
even though graphics look absolute sharp on the screen, the print out rather pixelated which I dont understand why. When I print the same graphics work out using different software such as Microsoft Word believe it or not, it comes out extremely sharp but the same graphics in Photoshop come out pixelated. The initial graphic work was designed in Flash and has been exported in many file formats.
I know some of you would say "Why dont you just print everything out from Microsoft Word", well the answer is, this design work is for a new Mouse Mat where the printing company has specified Photoshop EPS file format.
So I couldn't think of a better place to put this. I have something that I'm thinking of having professionally printed. What are the steps I should take to make sure I produce a high quality image? File format, Dpi and so forth. Make a list of steps to creating a high quality image file that will look good printed from a print shop.
I am making christmas photocards. I used photoshop 4.0. I started with a blank file 4x6 inches. I saved with a quality of 10. I ordered the prints online and they came back with the worst resolution.
i print to a number of networked printers. All print fine apart from one, an HP Lazer Jet 9050. All files sent to print from photoshop result in very low resolution, as if a mesh is places over the screen.
A range of PC print photoshop to the HP 9050 with not problem. I can open a jpeg in a number of other spftware packages such as microsoft picture manager or InDesign and send to the HP 9050 and these also come out fine. The low resolution issue is specifically photoshop on my pc to the HP 9050 and no other.
I have been asked to make a postcard, but the problem is I have only ever used Photoshop for web images, ie at 72 dpi.
I was wondering, what resolution do I have to use for print materials? 300 dpi?
Also, if I have an image taken from a website can I just put it in photoshop and change the resolution to 300 dpi, then use it in a print project? Is such a thing workable?
Or, do I have to use images with a starting resolution of 300 dpi?
I'm trying to print the presidential medal of freedom in high-res but all the samples I found on Google image search and on wiki are low-res. Since I need it for print, I increased it to 300dpi and it looks really jagged and blurred. I tried to search for a vector version, but couldn't find it. This is how it looks:
I tried all the filters as well, but couldn't find one that suits me (cutout is the closest, but it still looks horrible). I'm using Photoshop CS5.
Except finding an original high-res (which is impossible right now), in which other creative way can I fix it?
Just recently moved to Gimp. I like it but I am struggling. Millions of questions, but to start: How can I alter the resolution of and image without changing its physical size. I am trying to keep to a print size of 7x5", and reduce the resolution to 300pixel/inch. When I go to: 'set image print resolution' and change the X and Y resolution, the 'Print Size' changes with it. I have tried everything I can think of. I have make a new file at the correct resolution and pasted the image in, but the colors in the photos changed, so I dumped that idea.
I'm building graphics for a large display wall, too large for Illustrator to handle in actual size.
So, I'm working at half the actual dimensions and at 150 ppi. I want the final file for print to be actual size (obviously) plus be 300 ppi.
A company will be doing this, and because I'm not sure what they do to double my file for print, I'm not sure what the effect will be.
QUESTIONS:
1) If I build vector graphics at half size, 150 ppi, when they double, will it actually be at 300 ppi?
2) If I add photos (raster) at 300 ppi to the 150 ppi artboard, will they retain 300 ppi when the final file is doubled on their end, or will it be bumped up to 600 ppi?
The print resolution is no longer displayed making it difficult to decide if I need to modify the resolution prior to printing. Second, Lightroom 5 no longer generates a print preview. I select this option in my printer interface but sends the image directly to the printer without generating the preview. I did not have these issues with Lightroom 4 or earlier versions.
In the Print Module, with the Print Resolution box left unchecked, how does LR choose the ppi that will be sent to the printer? I realize that it is using an algorithm to choose a ppi.
I am a Photoshop newbie and I have a series of graphics (all 72dpi from a website) that I would like to print in 300dpi. Is it possible to take a 72dpi .jpeg or .gif file and easily convert it to a higher resolution printable graphic? If Photoshop can't do it, is there any type of program that can?
I'm trying to create a high resolution version of a low resolution texture used in a game. I've found a pattern that I think is acceptable, from a real image.Now the question is this: how can I colorize the large image to that it is as resemblant as possible to the original one? I've tryed a simple colorize, but the result is not so good...
my setup is: Pentax K20/80-200,2.8 Star ED, dual studio flashes with semitransparent white umbrellas, X-rite color proofing card, CS5, Syncmaster 214T with Spyder2 for calibration and Epson R2400 with all the proper ICC profiles..trying to repro an artwork with many nuances, particulary blue, red and yellow, the red one will show properly. The red gets smeary and too red.
The artwork has a little more of blue in it but that does not show up in the print, just on screen. The difference from screen to paper is too big for my taste (calibrated the day before). I've recently repaired the monitor with better quality capacitors to enhance performance.
I use glossy Epson paper. Also the blue seems to bleed when printed. Resolution of picture is 360dpi as recommended by Epson. I use "keep sharp edges"when enlarging it from the original 240dpi. This has the effect of retaining the colors at least on screen. Sharp image = more pure colors.
I am trying to make a logo. I have it complete but I do not likethat the text looks a little pixilated. I want to make the text look good, in other words make it look High Quality.
ive had a graphic requested and they want an explosion in the background. Was wondering if anybody knew a good tutorial to make explosions or how to make them in general?
