OT-High Res B&W Laser?

Am about to jetisson my Xante 4G. Am looking for a high-res (1200) dpi that will give me high quality postscript output B&W for reflection copy (negative/platemaking). Xante was great while it lasted. Any suggestions much appreciated.

Granted "third-world" definition is very vague, and probably too widely used. But you have to admit, if you were given pennies a day to make a printer, what incentive would you have to make the best printer in the market? Or even any printer whatsoever. Unfortunately this mass-produced economy of scale does not lend itself to truly high quality production. It is for all intents and purposes an oxymoron. You will certainly get many products that on the surface are great. But once you put these printers for consumer use to the day to day business use, you'll find a weakness here and there that just do not say 100% performance at a reliable pace. I've worked in an office environment for 12 years, and have never seen a printer that I can say works reliably. Printers just don't consistantly feed properly. Or if they have built-in duplex functions, they constantly get jammed. And then multifunction office copies have e-mail functions that half the time never get an e-mail out. I don't care if it is made by Lexmark, Xerox, HP, Canon, Epson, Brother, all of them I agree will have lemons, and most if not all have inconsistant performance. High quality comes only if you have a dedicated crew ensuring that a device is idiot proof from both the software and hardware point of view. If you find such a device, or build such a device, show me it, and I'll be glad to buy it.

Looking for a high-res drawing app for the iPad

I've tried a few of the available iPad drawing apps like Sketchbook Pro and Brushes. It's a little hard to tell, because documentation tends to be short on details, but it appears that most of them (with the exception of Brushes) only let you work and export images at 1024 by 768 resolution. That isn't really high enough resolution for professional work.
Brushes is the only exception I've found. You work on the iPad in Brushes at 1024 by 768, but they have this OS X app that can convert your exported images to a higher res.
To me that's crazy awkward and time-consuming, and I think Brushes is OK as a drawing app, but not necessarily what I'm looking for.
Can anyone give me some better insight into the matter?
Is there some underlying technical reason that all of these apps have a hard limit of 1024 by 768 resolution?
Is there an app other than Brushes that can produce pro-level (high resolution) image files on the iPad?
Thanks,
JS

How to I get high res thumbnail images?

Just discovered once I've imported images into my library Aperture 3.2.2 (running under 10.7.3) doesn't render high res thumbnail images (when the Browser Thumbnail Resize slider is set to the far right/maximum), even though my "Previews" preference settings are as follows:
"Use embedded JPEG from camera when possible" is unchecked
"Don't Limit" for Photo Preview is selected
Photo Preview quality set to 10
Deleting and regenerating thumbnails doesn't solve the issue. However, if I delete the photo from the referenced library, then reimport the image, the browser thumbnail image renders sharp. The low res thumbnail is at left; high res thumbnail (after re-import) is at right. Both thumbnails images are sharp when the Browser Thumbnail Resize slider is positioned in the middle. Photos render sharp in the Viewer, regardless.
Going back through my images, it seems Aperture stopped providing a sharp thumbnail image since around July 2010. Other than updating Aperture, my workflow or supported camera hasn't changed. Couldn't find a reference to this issue in the User Manual. Am I missing something a setting somewhere?
Thanks,
Eric

Its unclear if the command Generate Thumbnails actually does anything if the thumbs already exist and as there isn;t a Delete Thumbnails command like there is a Delete preview command there are only two ways to force a new thumb to be generated.
One is to import the image again and two is to delete the Thumbnail folder in the Aperture library. I don;t know for sure if this will fix you problem but as I said it is the only way to force the generation of the thumbs.
If you try this make sure you have a good working backup of the library. Nothing here will normally cause data loss but it is always a good idea before messing with the library.
Quit Aperture, Highlight the library in the Finder and right click, Select show package contents. One fo the folders you'll see is Thumbnails, delete it. Open Aperture.
Also be aware that the regeneration of the thumbs will take some time. Depending on the size of the library it could be an all day affair. Aperture is usable while this is going on but it will be slower.

Is it possible to create a script to produce a high res and low res pdf and jpeg from Indesign at the same time

Hi, I'm just wondering if there is a way to automate a long process I have to do to create assets for my job.
I have a single page InDesign 6 file which I have to output three ways:
A low res pdf without bleed or trims
A high res pdf with bleed and trims
A low res jpeg downsized to 2% of original size.
If anyone knows if this is possible I'd love to hear from you.
Thanks in advance

Automation requires creating your own IDML script for output. Scroll down on this page to the section on Scripting resources. The text is a bit confusing. It says InDesign CS5 Scripting resources, but then the paragraph for that section says the PDF files are for CS6. I haven't read through these, I just found them by searching for "indesign automation". It does say in part that is can be used for preparing files for printing, so once you figure it out, it should be a single click option to do all three steps.
You can do them now with the menus you have, assuming you also have Acrobat Pro installed. With any document open, choose File > Adobe PDF Presets, and choose either from the prebuilt defaults, or create your own in the Distiller. However, I don't see a way in the Distiller settings to choose whether or not to include bleed and marks, so I'm not really sure how you'd have them on for one and not the other. As far as JPEG output, that can be chosen under Export. You get a choice to set a resolution and JPEG quality level, but not a size, so the output will be the dimensions of the document.

How can I create a high res image gallery, need to have print res photos for a pressroom section.

How can I create a high res image gallery, need to have print res photos for a pressroom section.

If you want Muse to "pass through" your images and not adjust, compress, crop etc - you need to place your images in the lightbox EXACTLY at the right size, pre-cropped and prepped in Photoshop.
So if your light box is 800x600 the image you're dropping into that must be 800x600 exactly with no effects, rotation etc added to the lightbox frame. This stop Muse fiddling with your images, if they are perfect when inserted and you're not asking Muse to crop, expand, add effects etc. If it's perfect when inserted, Muse SHOULD also leave the resolution alone too, but I have not tried that one, but in theory, it should work.

Is there a way to publish a high-res .ipa from Flash CS5.5 with AIR for iOS?

Hello,
I've developed an app for iOS in Flash specifically for iPad 3's. My client uses SOTI MobiControl as it's mobile device management solution. If I publish out of Flash using AIR SDK 3.1 or newer the app is created and looks high-res on the iPad3. When they try to add the app to SOTI for in-house distribution it errors with the error claiming that "CFBundleDisplayName" has been left blank.
After having looked into it I've been able to find out that when publishing with versions of the AIR SDK older than 3.0, the info.plist file within the app package includes a CFBundleDisplayName. In versions newer than 3.0 there is no CFBundleDisplayName in the info.plist.
Is there a way to publish for iOS from Flash utilizing an older version of the AIR SDK and having true high-res graphics that will look proper on an iPad3?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Phil

It's not AIR that's lacking the key in the plist, it must be Flash Pro, although it's just running adt itself. I use AIR 3.4 and I compile via adt command line (because Flash Builder 4.6 still has not been updated to handle warnings from ANEs during compile, grr). I have CFBundleDisplayName in my plist file. Have you tried compiling on the command line?
Here's an Adobe page with a bunch of examples compiling with ADT on the command line:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/WS901d38e593cd1bac1e63e3d128cdca935b-8000.html
Being unaware of what in-house distribution system that actually is, I have noted that some people had previous issues submitting apps Flash compiles. Their solution was to rename the AppName.ipa to AppName.zip, extract the Payload folder, copy the AppName.app inside there out, then rename that AppName.app to AppName.ipa. Then it was accepted. Not sure if that old issue still exists.

Does iPad change the resolution of a high res photo?

I read that if I use the Camera Connection Kit to load photos directly from my camera to the iPad, that the iPad "modifies/reduces" the resolution of the jpeg (if they were taken with a high res camera).
Anyone know if this is really true? And if yes, what the "impact" might be?
The reason I am concerned is that I want to use my iPad as a repository for my images while I am traveling and then move those photos to my computer for editing when I am back home. BUT if something is going to be lost in this process, I should reconsider.
Thanks.

I read that if I use the Camera Connection Kit to load photos directly from my camera to the iPad, that the iPad "modifies/reduces" the resolution of the jpeg (if they were taken with a high res camera).
It doesn't.
The original file from the camera is copied to the iPad and it is not modified.
When you connect the iPad to the computer, you can then copy the original to the computer.
The reason I am concerned is that I want to use my iPad as a repository for my images while I am traveling and then move those photos to my computer for editing when I am back home. BUT if something is going to be lost in this process
Nothing is lost from CCK to iPad to computer.
When syncing photos back to the iPad thru iTunes, the photos get reduced/optimized to 2304 x 1536.

Is it possible to maintain a high res workflow on new iPad?

I hope I'm wrong.
It does not seem possible for me to use all these amazing syncing tools such as photo stream, aperture, iPhoto and the camera roll to maintain a high res workflow.
I have an image shot on my iPhone 4 open in aperture acquired from photo stream at it's full size 1936 x 2592.
I view the same image in iPhoto on my "The New iPad" or iPhone 4 (that I shot the image on) and look at the info, it's been reduced to 1536 x 2056.
I also emailed myself the same image directly from photo stream from the new iPad and it's also showing up at the same reduced resolution.
When I email it from the phone and tell it to send the full size image it still opens up on my computer at the reduced size.
The help section of iPhoto on the iPad said that photo stream would send the images at full resolution to all my IOS devices.
Seems like the only way to acess a full res file is to pull them photo stream in aperture.
When I synced with aperture to populate my camera roll and iPhoto on the new iPad... all of my images are showing up on the iPad at the same reduced size... 1536 wide. (I already have my preferences set to not place limits on preview sizes).
Anyone have any insights?
Thank You

iCloud (Photo Stream) and iTunes both limit the resolution of images sent to iOS devices. Photo Stream does not limit the resolution of images sent to the PC or Mac.
If I load a picture in to my iPad 2 or 3 using the Camera Connection kit they come in at full resolution.

Userform controls disappearing in Word 2013/Windows 8.1 with High-Res display - DLL error?

I have a .dotm file with a large number of modules and userforms. Creating new documents from the template works fine on almost every computer I've tested it on (hundreds), but I've run into a setup that fails consistently.
Two different Samsung ATIV 9's with a high res display and Windows 8 (64bit)/Office 2013 show the same problem:
When opening a new document based on the template for the first time, it works fine. If I open the VB editor, everything looks normal, userforms are intact.
On the second and all consecutive attempts, it throws a "Type Mismatch" error. Opening the VB Editor, I get a compile error on lines of code referencing components of the first userform (alphabetically). Opening that userform, it shows only a blank
multi-page control, and all the other controls are missing - hence the new compile errors on controls that used to exist. If I remove that userform and save the file, the project compiles, but opening a new document from the template will result in "Word
has stopped working..."
I can actually reproduce this behavior starting from scratch - new blank document, save as a .dotm. Create a new userform and add a multipage control. Clicking any control in the toolbox to add it to the form will result in a "Type Mismatch" error,
even though there's no VBA code. I can then successfully add the control to the form. But, once I save and reopen the template, the multi-page control is blank, and the other controls I put on it disappear.
I at one point got an error from the VB Editor that it "could not open macro storage" and the included help suggested that might be due to an incorrect version of vbe7.dll.
The only copy of vbe7.dll I could find was at:
c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\root\vfs\ProgramFilesCommonX86\Microsoft Shared\VBA\VBA7.1
The dll version was 7.1.10.44
I tried replacing that file with a vbe7.dll file from a working computer (version 7.0.15.89 from c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\microsoft shared\VBA\VBA7), but that just resulted in the VB editor not loading at all.
I have tried both a 32bit Click-to-run version of Office 2013, and installing off a CD with 64bit Office 2013, both had exactly the same error.
The reason I'm wondering if it's a high-DPI display related error is that googling about vbe7.dll errors, I came across this hotfix:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2880496/en-us
which claims it "Fixes various Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) issues with displays on high-DPI devices."
Neither the 32bit or 64bit installer for that hotfix would run, they said there was no affected programs installed.
My reasoning for suspecting a hardware/DLL incompatibility is this:
1) It's not the template or the VBA code, since those work elsewhere and the same behavior happens with any file with a userform
2) It's not the Office version, since both 32/64 bit, MSI and Click-to-run didn't work
3) It's not Windows 8.1, since this same template works fine on other machines
4) The first time I open the template on the affected machines, it works fine - but the template is shipped compacted and decompiled. After I open it once and then close, Word has compiled the code and corrupted it somehow, because whatever the first userform
was in the list shows up as blank.
5) It feels hardware-specific, since out of hundreds of machines, I've only seen this behavior on two of the same laptop model - seems like too much of a coincidence.
Is there any chance the VBE in Office 2013 is somehow incompatible with this hardware? If that might be the case, does anyone have any idea how I'd go about testing and/or fixing it?
Any thoughts are much appreciated.

Hi Chris,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp59501-60000/sp59861.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. If you see an entry for IDT HD Audio ( or very similar IDT entry ), right click the device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall. If there was no IDT entry, just proceed below.
When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.
Regards,
DP-K

Screen Artifacts on High Res Powerbook 15 inch

Just received the PB 15 high res Friday, so far can't see horizontal lines. I for one am concerned with the artifacts showing up while viewing DVDs and in Safari. Apple CR was kind enough to send a replacement for my previous gen 1.67 15 due to MLB/mem slot/DVDR failures, only one month old. This new screen shows vertical artifacts, a vertical row of color pixels in certain Safari pages, regardless of background color, white and colored pixels flickering on left side of display while viewing DVDs at any scan rate or resolution. The display calibration doesn't correct all the magenta/blue cast either, and must resort to EyeOne to calibrate this new display.
Leaning toward a refund after going through two defective generations of PB G4s. I'm beginning to feel sort of foolish at this point. I couldn't get the system to recognize the expensive Micron/Crucial Memory just purchased either, Tech Support told me to buy Apple brand, but added that they don't support 2GB configurations in this PB???
What is everybody doing about this? I'm unable to feel comfortable with this unit by design at this point. I have alot of money invested in Apple products for my photography business and would find it hard to switch over at this point. I'm especially unimpressed with Apple Tech Supports deflection of all this junk. I think iPods will be what's left of this product if Apple doesn't start paying attention to their product instead of image and stock margins.

I have the same problam. i can see the flickering occasionally in almost any applications, very rapidly and fast that's sometimes hard to notice like a blink of an eye. I have no idea whether it's a graphic card issue or not.
I have purchased the unit in Apple SF and left the country, I have no idea how to get support after all I know even Apple have worldwide warranty. You can't get it fixed or replace without sending back to US.
I'm loading software update right now hoping it will cure the problem with my fingers crossed.

How can I get iWeb gallery to display high-res images from iPhoto?

Hi,
I'm trying to add high-res images to an iWeb gallery from iPhoto and cannot get the gallery images to display in high-res (downloaded photos are fine). iWeb settings for importing unchecked for optimisation. Page in question: http://www.samuelboden.com/Samuel_Boden/Gallery.html
Any ideas?

Since iWeb has been discontinued by Apple I'm skeptical if you'll get any help on how to hack the application in order to have larger images in the slideshow. Since MobileMe will be discontinued this June 30 and with it the galleries you might stat looking for an alternative.
One alternative that gives the user considerable latitude in image size and quality is Jalbum. It offers nearly 100 themes or skins. This demo page has one theme that lets you change skins on the fly: Jalbum Examples plus a couple of others.

How can I stop high res photos being pixellated in an In Design Brochure?

Hi,
I'm trying to create an In Design Brochure but am finding that many of the photos are pixellated despite being of high res 300 dpi. Is it better to use photos with a higher or lower resolution that I want to be for example a sixth of A4 on a page? I can't understand why, as these photos look fine when I've used them in other non Adobe publications previously. Your help would be most useful. Should I post this in Photoshop forum? Thank you

If you select a bunch of layers in Photoshop, you can right click and make them into a Smart Object. It differs from using a Group, because the original is always kept in memory, so if you were to make it very very small, and then make it big again, you would not lose quality. You can do the same thing with a single layer for the same reason.
To edit a SO, double click it, and it will open in another Photoshop window. Make your changes, save them, and the original will be updated.
Photoshop CC 14.2 has added ‘linked SOs’ which are close to a holy grail in Photoshop, because a linked SO can be used in multiple image documents, and they will all update (when next opened) if the master SO is edited. That is a major new feature and much appreciated.
Adobe Dynamic Links are similar to the right click you used in InDesign. Items in a Premiere Pro timeline can be very easily edited in their original, or relevant Adobe application, directly from the PremPro timeline. This would be Photoshop, Audition, After Effects, Encore… It’s powerful stuff, and a huge time saver.

How do i create high res pdf from psd file?

Hi all,
I've been searching endlessly for this answer however I cant get the answer. My commercial printer is requesting a high resolution pdf file, and i created my artwork in photoshop 2. Can anyone tell me how to create a high res pdf with this file? Someone told me I need to purchase acrobat 9, however from research I've conducted there are no tutorials to achieve this either, and $500 is a little steep for a waste of time

What do you mean by "Photoshop 2"? Are you referring to Photoshop CS2?
If Photoshop CS2, then you have been given the proper instructions.
If the option shown is unavailable to you, then your Photoshop installation is scrogged. Reinstall it.

Why does "Print Booklet" from Indesign CS5.5 only create low res pdf? How do I get High Res for Offs

Long time ID user in Agency. Created a simple 4 page brochure in CS5.5 ID. Facing pages for cust size 11x17 half fold document.
Generating the pdf for Press and HQ Print renders a nice high res document, but the print booklet feature only produces a skinny low res version. Tried to mess with the printer settings, but the result is the same with a skinny low res document.
I didn't want to recreate the brochure as a two page manually imposed as I like the option of being able to add more pages in increments of four of course. Plus it's just silly to do that when ID is supposed to handle it for me.
I worked around it this time by printing to .ps output then distilling, and then splitting the document so printer could have a "front" and "back" 11x17. But this seems kludged big time. This has to be a bug unless I am missing something.

You probably never changed the default settings in the PDF printer properties. In the print booklet dialog, click the Print Settings button, then the Setup button at the bottom of the Print Dialog that pops up, choose the PDF printer and click on Preferences. Reset the default reset the default settings to the ones you really want to use, or reset them in Windows... Control Panel > Devices and Printers... Double-click the PDF printer, then from the print queue dialog, Printer > Properties... General tab and clcik the Preferences button.
