Jan 29, 2006which dimensions of new psd document do you take when creating in photoshop (montage, editing,...)
I know it depends on if the work is designed for web or print, but let's say it's for both..

I am running PS CS5.5 on a a MAC running OSX 10.7.3 and printing to an Epson Stylus Photo 2200.
Background:
Basically, the dimensions of a printed graphic are different than the size that is specified in the PS version of the graphic. The amount of error is about 1/16 of an inch over a 6 inch distance. This matters as the printed output must fit a template exactly.
Details:
I create a 300 dpi resolution document. I am using inches as the ruler setting and the method for specifying the size of an object in the Free Transform Dialog. I create, with the rectangle tool, a rectangle and then use command-T to specify the dimensions to be 6 inches X 1 inch. I check using the ruler tool and verify that the shape is 6 X 1. When I print, the object is smaller. In fact, it will be 5 29/32 inches instead of 6 inches.
If I create the same object using Illustrator, the object prints (same printer) exactly the specified dimension. If I place the illustrator object into Photoshop it will "say" that it is 6 inches but prints at the reduced size.
After pulling my hair out, I have just adopted the work-a-round of scaling the output, in the printer dialog, by an appropriate % to compensate. There must be a better way to address this problem.
After looking thru the api, i'm finding it hard to get a list of orphaned dimensions.
I can get a list of all the dimensions...easy.
I've basically deleted a part from the assembly and now want to remove that dimension in a section view on the drawing document.
But looking / comparing the properties of a non-orphaned vs an orphaned shows nothing.
Is there an orphaned list?
Is there a color override switch somewhere?
Or can I somehow get the object that the dimension is trying to reference and check to see if it is valid or has a valid file reference...or something?
I've created a pdf file (with illustrator cs3). when I try to open it on photoshop CS3 I receive this message:
"error opening the portable document file (PDF) document. error code = 0X20030055"
I can open this pdf file outside photoshop.no problem openning other pdf files on photoshop.
I inadvertently saved a document as a jpg and wondered if there is any way I can convert it to a document file that is handled more easily with a file that is other than a photo file?

I was adding a lot of aligned dimensions to a drawing and some where along the way they changed from aligned dimensions to rotated dimensions, even in the same string of dimensions.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI typically as much as possible like to insert my dimensions into my drawing from my model.
I created holes in the model as a 1/4" tapped hole
Yet when I show the dimensions in the drawing they show the minor dimension.
How do I get the 1/4" to show? I have selected the feature and still get these results.
Is there any way I can make exploded dimensions in an old drawing become live dimensions again.
View 3 Replies View Relatedis there a way to lock the dimensions to aligned dimensions...or a key i could hold while dimensioning that would do that..
i have to dimensions a drawing where theres a lot of aligned dimensions to put and to do it manualy each time takes forever...

Also be sure to pick the 'aligned dimension' method and not the 'linear dimension'. I hope that works in Revit as it does in AutoCAD.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a .jpg file that opens in Photoshop 13.0.1 x64 as an image with dimensions of 5588 x 4627 pixels. If I set Photoshop to open it in ACR 7.3 it opens with dimensions 4453 x 4418 with the image looking squished horizontally and cropped at the top.
I captured the image on a Nikon D600. I developed the NEF with DxO Optics Pro 8.1.1 and output a TIFF. I opened the TIFF in Photoshop (without using ACR) and did my editing including some transformation to create mirrored wrap for a canvas. There are versions saved as PSDs. I resized the image for output and used PS to create a JPG. That JPG causes the strange (to me) behavior when Photoshop tries to open the file.
I used the same PSD to create multiple JPGs with differing levels of quality (varyiing from 9MB to 27MB). Photoshop exhibits the same behavior on all of them.If I process the JPG thruough ACR, the resultant image retains the bad dimensions and distortions.The Adobe "chat" preresentative said this was expected behavior in a 2+ hour chat. He/she said that they were able to replicate the different dimensions on their end with their images.
I opened a jpg image in PS CS2, and opened the Image size panel. I found the following: Width 2304 px., height 1728 px., doc size 32" x 24" at 72 px/in, and Pixel Dimensions 11.4M.
Can anyone explain the relationship of the pixel dimensions to the other data, i.e., how the pixel dimensions are calculated.
I am trying to make a couple of web layouts in photoshop but I am having a problem with the dimensions. What is the avergae size for a layout and how can you determine how big everything is? Would you design for instance a header, menus, etc seperately then put it together in a main layout? Does anyone have any tips? When i look at tutorials i can produce the layouts but when it comes to looking at them in html,

should i set these dimensions initially or it's better to work in higher
resolution/dimensions and then resize it to desired size?
would this give me better quality?

View 5 Replies View RelatedSomehow my pixel dimensions and document dimensions have become locked and when I try to crop an image the cropped dimensions remain in the same proportions of width to height as the original. There are little symbols and brackets to the right of both pixels and inches. I don't know how to remove these. I am using an antiquated version of Photoshop Elements - version 2.0 on a Mac running 10.4.11.
View 6 Replies View RelatedUsing CS6. When I open a new file I get a small white canvas upon which to draw. This is 16.02cm x 11.99cm. These seem odd values to pick for a default. Is there a reason for it?
I wish to change this default size as I find it inconveniently small for my drawing work with the pen tool. Before I do this I'd feel better if I understood the thinking behind the original default dimensions.
I am having problems with the cropping tool, Working with a fine art 800dpi 16 bit scan and I want to create an accurate crop to keyed in dimensions, in this case 12 cm x 12cm. Everything I try to key in the width and height dimensions, leaving resolution blank, I get varying results.
Either the crop box just sticks to the original scan size which is bigger or is not drawing to 12 x 12cm, usually smaller when I check off against rulers, despite keying in 12 x 12cm! Erratic results for any other dimensions I type in when I view against rulers. Tried clearing in case settings are sticky but to no avail. Can do this all day long in Elements 11 with consistent results. Tried everything in CS 6.
I took some shots yesterday with my iPod Touch Fifth Geration and Adobe Bridge (of just by clicking on the file in Finder) shows the file size of the jpeg files at about 2.33 megs with dimensions of 1936 x 2592 or 26.9 x 36.0, 72 ppi. When I open the file in Adobe Photoshop CC, the file size is 14.4 megs with the same dimensions.
Why is there such a difference in file size?
And, after I work on the file in Photoshop and save it again AS A TIFF IMAGE without changing dimensions, but doing some work with NIK filters, Adobe Bridge now shows the new file at 14.39 megs. I know that TIFF takes up more file size than jpeg, but is there that much of a difference in file size?
I want to use the crop tool to edit my image - I want the crop tool to maintain the image dimensions (i.e. 4x6), BUT I don't want the image to be resampled. All I see with the crop tool is that if I want the size to be constrained, it makes me pick a specific size, not an aspect ratio.
For example, if I say 4 inches by 6 inches and crop a very small section of my image, it will crop it, but then resample it and blow it up to a 4 inch by 6 inch photo. I really just want the ratio to be maintained. 4x6.
I have used a template in Photoshop CS2 to create a DVD/CD Cover and I have an issue saving the image for upload at the correct dimensions.
This is what I have - CD cover @ 4.75 x 4.75 inch with 300dpi. This gives me an image with a resolution of around 3000 x 3000 pixels.(approx)
There is no problem printing from PS as the dimensions in Inches is the default print size. The problem comes when I export the image as a JPEG ready for upload and sharing. It seems the pixel resolution becomes the default size settings. This will give the end users problems in printing at the correct size for their CD cases.
I, can get round this as my printer allows me to 'print at the original size' which defaults back to the size set in Inches but I don't think everyone has this option.
Is there any way to ensure that the end user will d/l or save the uploaded image at the correct size so that they will not have to do anything other than print it?
The last thing a want to do is make it a difficult thing for them to obtain.
FYI - I would like to keep the dpi resolution if possible as there is a lot going on and this might be lost if the quality is reduced.
I have a number of HTML pages with similar designs that each need to be sliced up by exactly the same dimensions so I can just pop in new path names into the same HTML template.
Is it possible to save slices like pattern or brush sets where I can load them into a new document? I've been looking for a feature similar to this and can't seem to find anything that is helpful in Imageready, anyone have any ideas?
what are the proper dimensions used for creating a photoshop layout for a website, nowadays?
i used to do '779 by 434'. but now i tried '950 by 550'. is that ok? (i prefer to horizontally center the layout).
I'm using the rectangle tool but can't seem to create rectangles with different dimensions. If I select the rectangle tool and click on my layer it draws a rectangle of a fixed size. It will not let me drag the cursor to the size I want the shape.
