I am about to venture into creating a poster using a picture that I haven't gotten yet.
I'm wondering what I will need to do in order to get a reasonably non-pixelated poster when enlarging a picture from a smaller size.
Is the most important feature of the picture it's resolution? I know at times I've tried enlarging pictures and they are pretty pixelated after the process. I'm guessing that resolution is the key but I would love to hear from the experts that do this on a regular basis.
I know some of you have made building size signs, are these from pictures or are they from vector creations? How do you get these to be so clear when enlarging?
I am asked to do a large print of an A1 size poster which is 840mm x594mm,so would it be wiser to half those dimensions given,or even 1/4 of that size in order to avoid my maching going slow? would the printer still understand how hes meant to go about,if i specify the actual dimensions?
Im using cs5.5 and need to print something 4' x 8'. Its mostly letters as well, but the problem is that the letters get really pixelated when I make them really big.
I need labels of 50mmx20mm and I resize my tiff image and then paste onto an A4 page intending to copy paste until page is full.
1.Problem is if i use the ruler it shows that my image is only about 40mm wide even though the size boxes at the top clearly say it is 50mm?!!! see image
2. Is there an automatic way to fill apage with a specified sized image eg labels as the Impostion tab maxes out at 4x4(16up)?
I am using xara xtreme 4, i always used it to import large A1 size pdf files to resize them with xara on A4 page. I am trying to import now a 50 mb pdf file, after asking me if i need to optimize for editing i click import, it shows that it is converting the document then it asks me if i need to merge or insert to a new page i click merge and finally nothing shows on my sheet, still empty!
how do you change the tool bar buttons to small buttons? The options are all greyed out! I am old but not that blind yet. This is a work stoppage, and abandon software problem for me.
I love designing vehicle wraps in XD Pro6 but what can I do to export a large image. If I design at half scale then try to export at 200 dpi it crashes and says out of memory.
My wife is designing in Xara pro and has 1700 fonts she wants to be able to use.How can she organize them into like 20 categories and have access to them in Xara?
I have a client who asked me to create artwork for a banner she is printing for a trade show. The banner is 19.5 FEET long and almost 8 feet high. I have designed the banner as 6.5x2.6ft with the intent of then dividing it into 9 equal parts which I would blow up to 6.5x2.6 and send off to the printer. So far so good. The problem is that the segments are still so large that when I try to export them as PDFs, I am running out of memory. I tried doing them as jpegs, but when I change the resolution for export to 300dpi, nothing changes- the number of pixels x umber of pixels doesn't increase. My client needs this artwork off to her printer asap and I am at a complete loss.
When I'm editing in a 100 +photo folder from a sports event it takes alot of time moving from one photo to the next. I was hoping that there is a short cut or some keyboard short I can use to save time.
Let me be specific what I am refering to : I open folder 9 year old baseball which has 150 photos in it. I open jpeg 122 in photoshop and make my modifications and then save it. NOW, I have to go back into photoshop, open the folder again, either scrool down with the slider bar or by using the arrows to get to jpeg 123 to begin the next modification. This process becomes a pain and takes alot of time. Is there a way to avoid going back to the folder and using the vertical slide bar or arrows, maybe theres a way to use a keyboard shortcut to advance from jpeg 122 to jpeg 123?
Im using sing Designer Pro X9, I have a large photograph and I would like to make links in different sections in the photograph so when the cursor goes over a section a popup layer with text would appear and go away when cursor is moved away again. I have tried putting layers over it but I cant get more than one layer to work.
i have been trying for the past hour to export these two files as pdfs for large format print. everything exports fine except the gold trophy design, how to export these for use for large format solvent printing, i normally dont have a problem but this golden shield vector appears to be the problem.
when I move large pictures out into another picture it freezes. When I sometimes move things inside the image it freezes. When I sometimes brush with a larger brush or even a small brush it freezes. Could it be a virus that is causing these problems? I installed the same photoshop into my old computer and it works fine. My computer specs are 3.06 GHz P4 512MB DRR 74GB HD
The picture in question is a mosaic made up of thousands of tiny shapes in Illustrator. It is about 28 in x 48 in but there is white space around the image. I am less than a quarter way through, and I am noticing that Ai is starting to be slow when refreshing the screen e.g. when changing zoom. The file is 13MB. I am concerned that the image will be too large for Ai to handle efficiently. Need to break the image down into quarters and put them together right at the end, or do you think Ai will cope with the size and complexity efficiently? If I have to make separate sections, is there a useful technique to use?
I have two jpegs of homes - one with a porch and one without. I have used the shape tool to select the porch in the one picture (It turns black as it should and copied it). The question is how to I paste it onto the other picture so that it shows up as a porch and not a 'black' selection?
How to change the format of the picture? When im saving the photo and sending it to my phone i cant open it up it says its the incorrect format? How to change this?
I really looking for a solution how can I change the color of a part of a picture.In my case it's a pharmacy sign (see attachment). I want to change the color of the white Part (snake&scale) into a sort of brown (#bcb29d).The green cross I want to change into red.
I only managed (not even that perfectly) with hue. But I cannot choose exactly the colors I want. I manage with the color/select tool to select the region I want to change but then.I don't know how to move on.
I use XPE regularly to edit photos and save them in JPEG format to My Picture folders. However, since yesterday the files that get saved after editing, are no longer JPEGs but some unsupported file which cannot be opened. (See screen shot of properties.) I have tried everything I can think of to fix this, but the results are always the same.
If I edit the photographs with Picasa, there is no problem with the edited output to a folder.
If I save the XPE edited files to the Desktop instead of a folder, they are also alright. I am using Windows 7 Home.
I hand drew some pictures of rats that I have to use for a video pitch assignment. I'd like to add some fur using the live effect found in the Eye Candy 4000 plugin. I have disabilities and drawing in Xara is very difficult. Is it possible to add a live effect to a picture without having to draw over it using the program? I also drew smiling cheese that I'd like to add the gradient glow live effect to.
I am looking to create a collage made from 100 photos (all taken high res) to be printed large, approx 120cm x 50cm. To be able to print this size I need to keep the high resolution and hence looking for a large file output.
So, I have an A4 sized scanner and I need to scan in an A3 sized page. I can scan the page in two seperate sections, but how can I combine those two imagines using Gimp so that it's like the original?
Taking a photo has been tried, but it doesn't have the quality I want.
I began in PS CS5 by setting up a canvas 4 x 7" and begun designing. It didn't seem right to me so I decided to print a draft of my partially finished project and discovered it is in fact HUGE. I need to output an advert for a trade magazine which needs to be exactly 4 x 7". How do I ensure the output size will be exactly as planned?
When exporting smaller sized files (e.g. jpegs with 1000px width limitation), some of them are 1px shorter (999px in this case). It does not seem to affect files around 2000px export size, so it might be linked to the fixed export problem with output sharpening and noise reduction (URL...)
I have a design that is A3 size (i.e. 297 × 420mm) and 300dpi. I'd like to save out various versions of the image: one at full size, one at 150 dpi, one at A4 (i.e. 210 × 297mm) 150 dpi, and one at A4 72dpi. At the moment I'm doing this by saving different versions of the Photoshop PSD file and then doing a 'Save As' jpg from each of those.
What's the best way to save multiple sized versions of a design?
If I resize an image in Photoshop to be smaller and/or fewer DPI is that destructive or can I go back without loss of clarity? (I'm guessing not as the PSD file sizes are so different.)
