Photoshop :: Working With Large Formats
Oct 27, 2005
We are having some banners printed over vynil. the art work consist of images of women in lingerie and the brand´s logo. Most of the artwork is 28" x 40" but sometimes we work with larger and odd formats (41" x 168"). The shop that we work with told me to send them the artwork for large formats as tiff @ 85 dpi. I never work below 150 and try to be close to 300dpi when possible.
For example I am sending them a file which is 20" x 48" and for me at 85dpi it looks lousy. Although at 100% it looks fine on the screen.
I arrange my images and logos in freehand (working with photohop and large formats on my PC is painfully slow) and then from there I usually export my artwork as EPS with all the images embeded. (this saves me time)
This particular shop said that they dont want the files in eps
format.

I'm currently working on a huge image and remembered that a version of Photoshop used to have the function that would allow you to open one section of a huge image at a time to work on. From what I can recall you used to go to open the image and a Navigator looking window would pop up and you'd choose which area of the image you would like to work on, click ok and it would load just that area. Is this feature still around?

I'm going to take a family portrait photo and touch it up a little before printing it. Thing is ... I will be printing at least a size 16'' by 20'' photo. I'm not familiar with working with images this large. When I have it printed I want to be sure that the photo looks clear/normal.
I would appreciate any advice anyone could give me in regard to...
1) What color mode works best for quality printing results
2) How I should crop for best results
3) How to save file to ensure best printing results

I just got a new job doing web development. They asked me at the interview if I knew enough Photoshop to do some basic stuff - crop, resize, export images. I thought I did, but the Photoshop files they are working with are really huge. Whole websites are laid out in thousands of layers, and those layers are organized into layer groups, but not always as logically as one might expect/hope.
Anyway, here's what I'm needing to do, and I was really hoping there might be a magical, easy way to accomplish this. The website is oriented into boxes/sections/modules - call 'em what you will - and each module has info in it. I really just need to select the one section and either create a new project consisting of just those layers, or a way to export just those layers.

My questions is this: What should I do cut down the almost frozen status of my computer when Im working with gigantic canvas sizes AND 300DPI?
the project in question is a 6 foot x 3 foot banner, that will be printed out, so the DPI has gotta be 300.....
but when im doing the simplest things, paint bucketing, using the paintbrush, it "loads" for a good few minutes for each move... at this rate, Im going to finish sometime 2 years after the deadline.

Currently working on a very large scene with many city sized buildings. The viewport ( DX9 ) seems to constantly flicker even with 2 seperate objects that are a considerable distance apart.
Is it simply a matter of not having floating point and im working in the thousands of inches ( system scale )? Is there any solution? Renders are fine but it's going to give me a seizure every time I rotate the viewport camera!

I'm currently designing a full size film poster for a client. The dimensions of the poster are 27" x 40" (industry standard film poster).I am a little uncertain in working with large files in Illustrator, so I have several problems that have come up in several design projects using similar large formats.
Â
The file size is MASSIVE. This poster uses several large, high-res images that I've embedded. I didn't want them to pixelate, so I made sure they were high quality. After embedding all these images, along with the vector graphics, the entire .ai file is 500MB. How can I reduce this file size? Can I do something with the images to make the .ai file smaller? I made my artboard 27" x 40" - the final size of the poster. Is this standard practice? Or when designing for a large print format, are you supposed to make a smaller, more manageable artboard size, and then scale up after to avoid these massive file sizes? Â
I need to upload my support files for the project, including .ai and .eps - so it won't work if they're 500MB. This would be good info to understand for all projects I think.

I am working with some very large images in X5, ~ 2500 mm x 1200 mm at up to 600 DPI sometimes. (And before you say it, yes, I do need this. It is a very specific application that we work on daily and I do need the ability to basically control every single pixel at that size & that resolution). I'm using WinXP 32-bit (company mandate).
When I need precisely sized objects, I am using CorelDRAW and occasionally when I need pixel perfect placement, PhotoPaint gets the call. The images may go through both before it runs through a final backend processor (some specialized software) and then going to print.
The problem is that I am running into limits when I go beyond 300 DPI (depending on the image dimensions). For example, CorelDRAW often will fail to export a TIFF correctly when I try a 450 DPI image at that size (some TIF file comes up but nothing can load it, it's corrupted). Or for even smaller images, if I enable transparent background, I also get a similar problem. Sometimes, e.g. Photo Paint, just chokes up with out of memory problem and fails to load images at all.
Thing is, we actually have Photoshop CS5 available and while there are many things I don't like about it, it actually can handle stuff of this size. So there is also a push to get Illustrator as well under the same assumption that it will work. However, Adobe stuff is way more expensive, feels more bloated and slower and (for me at least) a pain to use compared to Corel, so I'd rather not.
Would moving to 64-bit WinXP work? Or would I need to go to CorelDRAW X6? This is already a quad-core machine with 4GB of RAM.

when I am working on a large drawing and/or pasting as a block, all the grey lines (colour 8) turn to white. When I select a grey line, it flicks back to grey, but de-select, and it's white again.
If I toggle on hardware acceleration, the problem is fixed for a short while, and also if I turn it off, it is fixed for a short while, and also if I save, close and re-open it's good untill I paste a block....
I suspect it may be because of my setup and an un tested graphics card:
Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate - running through bootcamp on a macbook pro

I made this image with duotone(with the color sepia) and w/ a new layer that was filled and then cut out with the magic wand. this created an efect that made the image look "old." and then I added some rippled effects and sharpening and whatnot..
and then I tried to save, and it saved onto PSD. the thing is, PSD is a format specially for photoshop so I can't convert it.
I realized that any image I make with duotone (I dunno if there are any more but there prolly is) will only give you PSD, EPS, RAW, and PDF. none of which could really be used on the web.

can we change the formats from psd? my hp printing program that i want to use sometimes won`t recognise psd. format.
also is there any info on what the best format to use is?
i`ve heard that jpeg. is lossy, meaning it losses quality minutely each time you open the file.

I have a Photoshop file (PSD) with 2 layers: a white background and one layer with text.
When I click "save" to save my PSD in another format, the list for available file formats become limited. There is no option for JPG, GIF, TIF, PNG, etc...

I am a illustrator who needs to save files in different formats. Like 1 with a watermark, one small one for the website, another one for shop, a pdf file for the prints, etc. Is there a way to do all those things at once? Cause it really takes a lot of time.
Â
I make my illustrations in Photoshop, but if it's necessary to only do those thing in another adobe program, than that's no problem.

Supported file formats in CS6?

May 23, 2012
I just downloaded a trial version of Photoshop CS6 and noticed that I had an extremely reduced choice of file extensions at the moment I wanted to save my work. In fact, I wanted to save it in .tga, but the option disappeared from the list. The PSD file I want to save only has 4 layers, 3 of which use an alpha channel; the 4th being a plain black background.
Â
And the weirdest thing is that when I create a new, empty file, I can save it as a .tga image, along with a lot of other extensions that disappeared for the other image. Like, I can't even save my first pic in BMP. I only can use PNG, JPG, CIN, IFF, TIFF, and 2 or 3 others. Oh and by the way, it's the x64 version. But it does the same thing with the x32 one. I tried already.

Only got the software yesterday, got off to a good start, I can open Jpeg files in Camera Raw but I am not getting the same options for raw files. Camera is a nikon D90, shots download okay but appear small in the preview and I can't make them larger or do anything with them. When I highlight a raw file, the camera raw option is not available.

I have a couple of logos that I need to "archive" and catalog in the following formats:
.tif
.eps
These logos were done in PSCS and are now in the .psd format - they contain a number of layers including a base transparent layer.
The question is can I preserve the transparency within the 2 above mentioned formats? If so how? I made a few attempts at it with each format but came up with a background color each time.

I am interested in adding some other file formats to the newly added Generator feature in Photoshop CC, but where to start after looking at the installed scripts. I am also not the most experienced with this, so my lack of knowledge is probalby also blocking me
Â
What I want to do:
Â
- add TGA formats in 32 and 24 bit format based on the existence of an alpha channel
- change where the image assets are saved to be in the same directory as the psd, not one directory lower in [filename] - assets folder.
Â
Have not had any luck adding TGA formats, again, unclear how to do this. Can see things happening in convert.js, however when trying to add a TGA entry to this, it fails (and deletes the assets folder)

I was trying to send a bunch of images by e-mail for my wife this morning. They were images of her jewelery she was sending to galleries.
Â
All but 2 of them I sent as .jpg files (to keep the size lower) but 2 of them were .tif files to start with, and when I opened them in Photoshop CS2 and sized them, it wouldn't let me save them as .jpg files, in fact the save options were limited to a few formats like ,png etc.
Â
I looked for a reason but I didn't see anything different about these files.
Â
They were in 16 bit RGB color mode.
Â
I saved them as .psd files and then reopened them and tried again but the formats were still limited.
Â
The rest of the images gave me the full span of save formats.

I recently upgraded to Creative Suite CS4 from Photoshop CS3. Previously, all my images, when viewing them in Windows Explorer, were defined by a specific icon and file type. For example, GIF images were associated with a specific GIF icon and JPEG images were associated with a specific JPEG icon, etc. Now with CS4 they all are listed as Adobe Photoshop Images with the same PS icon. I cannot tell when browsing what type of image file they are.

There are so many save as options. I'd like to remove some to make scrolling down to the ones I only use such as jpeg, Tiff, PSD etc.
Â
Research brought up this option, but before I blunder in are there any risks to this method or is there another "more approved" method?

I'm in a process of making assets for Unity3D engine and I'm making transparent png's with alpha channels premultiplied with black. My questions:
Â
To this day I've been using superPNG plugin to add alpha channel because it was really hard to find option to do it in Save As... menu. Today I've found Export -> Render Video where I can choose PNG and premultiplication. Am I doing something wrong or is it the proper Photoshop way to export png via video function? It seems really hidden!I can do the same for TIFF, PICT(i suppose no pict for me because its pure mac extension?), and tga format with one black layer and ticking Alpha Channels box, but its somehow greyed out for PNG? Why is that?Â

I have been using Photoshop for about 20 years. It isn't our primary software, but it is very important to our business, as some clients do not know how or cannot use Reader. In such cases, I used to save the PDF's as JPG's or other acceptable formats available in the Photoshop program. It was very handy. My old Photoshop was working very well with the XP version of Japanese Windows, even though it was an English version of the program. Unfortunately, I had to upgrade from XP to Windows 7 due to XP becoming obsolete. On top of that I lost somewhere my old disc with Photoshop on it, but I assume that it wouldn't work with the new OS anyway because of its age? I decided to buy a new version and to have a better idea of what it looks like these days, I tried to upload the trial version of Photoshop CC from the net. It went well, but I have a huge problem with it. It is all in Japanese. Although I live in Japan and speak the language, I cannot read the squiggles, especially the professional ones. I need to have all the program commands in E for the program to work for me, otherwise, you will agree, there is no point in spending that sort of cash. Can I download an E version from somewhere? I tried everything, but the only download page I can get from Japan is in Japanese. Will the E version work with the J Windows 7? Is there any way to change the J commands to E?
