Will saving a 750mb photoshop drawing placed on indesign and saved as pdf reduce the image quality??

The pdf seems to be 25mb and I saved it as a high resolution pdf. Will the quality of the psd drawing remain exactly the same??

The resolution of the linked .psd will be depend on if you scale it after placing (the Effective PPI) and your settings in the Export dialog, where you can choose to both downsample and or compress the image, or do neither.
1 GB is a pretty large image. Can you tell us more about it, and what the intended output is? I used to work with images that large on occasion for printing wall-size output, but I'm not sure you would need anything like that kind of size for poster-size and smaller.

Does flattening (or saving without layers) compromise the image QUALITY?

I'm saving a large .tiff image with multiple layers, but have no need to access the different layers later on, so my question is simply if I can save the image without layers in order to reduce size, or would that also reduce the image QUALITY?

Flattening merges all the layers and gives it a white background, the layer is then named background and is locked. Whereas merge keeps a transparent background if there is one, the remaining layer is not locked.
A flattened image will crop any image data that falls outside the document area. So technically it does effect the quality. The same as what a crop would do.
However it does not adjust the documents image size.
A merged document leaves the image data outside the document area untouched.
That said, some formats like jpg flatten the file not merge it. As it does not support transparency nor layers. Png does not support layers therefore outer data is cropped. But tiff and psd will keep outer data as both of these formats support transparency and layers. Transparency is required to stop the file from being flattened and layers is required to keep any image data that falls outside the document area from being cropped.

Why does my high res photoshop image appear blurry when placed in InDesign and Exported as PDF?

Hi there,
I have a problem I've been trying to solve for days but just can't find the answer anywhere on the internet.
I have a large, good quality photoshop file (2268 x 979 pixels, resolution 300 pixels per inch). When I place it into InDesign, the image appears OK (I've changed my display settings to HIGH) - I then resize it in InDesign to 10% and the file still looks great! Then, when I export it as PDF (high quality print) it looks blurry.
Does anybody know why? The strangest thing is, I've placed other photoshop images in the same InDesign file and they look crystal clear. It is just this one I am having trouble with. I've saved it in the same folder as the other pictures, I've tried placing it as psd. , jpg. , photoshop pdf, png. everything...
The image looks great in both photoshop and indesign, only when exported as pdf it looks awful.
Any help will be greatly appreciated,
Many thanks in advance!
Weronika

It's probably the extreme reduction -- you're throwing away 90% of the image pixels and interpolating, and then using jpeg compression on top.

The image quality suddenly downgraded in Photoshop

Hello guys,
today when I'm editing my file as usual, suddenly I found out that the image quality are downgraded inside photoshop
but it become smooth and normal again when I try to blow up the image. The saved image have no trouble as well.
When I'm using general preview size, it will be like this
When I blow up the detail, it become smooth again like this
I'm not sure if I accidentially clicked any button, could anyone help with this please? big thanks!!!

Have you checked the ink cartridges and made sure the nozzles are clear? Are you able to print from outside of iPhoto with the correct color?
Try the following: make temporary copy of the library and do the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

Hi Noel,
I'm wondering whether your comment addressed to Lmono was intended for me Tmono.
You ask: "So why didn't you provide the same?"
It just didn't occur to me to do so.
My intent was to report that there was at least one other user encountering a similar problem. It occurred to me that Adobe might be interested in determining the scale of a problem which causes one of their best known products to fail to run quite so completely after a clean install
I also see that I misreported the OS I'm running - its Windows 8.
If there is further information I can provide which might be helpful in determining a solution, if someone could be specific about what would be helpful, then I will try to respond appropriately.
Perhaps the following from the event log:

The X230 has Intel HD 4000 graphics support built in to the processor. Windows was pretty stubborn about refusing driver updates, but I just managed to get drivers from the Intel site to install and Photoshop is now running, so hopefully I need not try your patience any further.
In case anyone else has a similar problem and stumbles on this the way to install the driver that worked was to:
- download the zip version of the generic driver from Intel
- use the 'have disk' option in the windows dialog to install the driver - other paths in the UI did not work with windows refusing to install the driver.

Saving from ACR with the highest quality

After color correcting and processing in ACR or even Lightroom, does it make any sense to save an image as a .jpg rather than a .tiff or .psd? By saving it as a .jpg isn't the image being degraded where it is not as a .tiff or .psd?
Thanks.

Yes. Not only are you reducing the image to 8-bit resolution, you are also applying compression algorithms which discard detail and can produce unwanted side-effects.
The best "processed" format you can choose is 16-bit TIFF, as this keeps bit resolution and does not use 'lossy' compression. PSD is an Adobe version of TIFF, which is well-supported but generally less compatible than TIFF.
If the image is always going to be processed by Photoshop, then PSD is probably the best format, as it offers proprietary advantages over TIFF.

Boxes created in Adobe Illustrator and placed in InDesign appear misaligned in PDF.

?Hi, Sara.
I'm viewing in Adobe Acrobat Pro. Not sure what my client has.
And, yes, the boxes are all transparent. I tried pasting the native AI file, and EPS file, with the same result. When viewed at 150% and above, they look perfect. But, when viewed to fit page on screen, they distort.
They print fine, too.

I updated to Photoshop cc 2014 and now can't resize the images like I used to.

I updated to Photoshop cc 2014 and now can't resize the images like I used to.
I used to click on the image and then go to the corner hold down shift and resize it. Now it won't do it.
How do I do it now?
I have a project deadline and need to do this asap. Panicking that I won't meet my deadline.

Did you turn off the "show transform controls" option in the move tool?
It sounds like you were using that previously.
And you can always transform by using the Free Transform command (command/control T).

I have lost the remote that was paired. I bought another remote, but the procedure to pair the new one does not work. I suspect the the AT will work with only one remote at-a-time and i have to unpaid the first before pairing the second. How do I unpair?

Hi all, my first time on. I shared my imovie project to Media Browser. Fine. Then after it downloaded it 'disappeared.' Where did it go? Having found it, how do I then share it with idvd? I am told the image quality will be much better this route.

Hi
I do
• In iMovie - select a project
• Share to Media Browser and as Large (not HD or other res.)
• Close iMovie
• Open iDVD and select to start a New iDVD Project
• Import movie - from Media button - down to the right - and here from Movies

Why are some PDF files created in Photoshop not placing in InDesign CS5?

We are publishers and have used InDesign for over 9 years to create 36+ magazine issues per year. We are currently using CS5 on 8 MAC stations using OS X Vers 10.8.5. We are experiencing difficulty placing some supplied PDF files into InDesign documents lately. We get the following error message when placing the offending PDF file: "FAILED TO OPEN PDF FILE"
This is a new error message that has cropped up the last two months or so. In Acrobat, the file will pre-flight without errors. The files giving us the errors can be converted to Photoshop PSD, EPS or TIFF files and will place just fine. Photoshop PDF files, however, will result in the error.
Can anyone give me an idea what might be causing this issue? Thanks in advance!

Most likely the crop options.

I am having problems with the image quality when image placing in indesign

Hi
I am finding that many illustrations are pixilating when I place them in indesign from illustrator or photoshop. Some times I can rectify the issue by increasing the size or dpi of the image prior to placement, but I'm sure there must be another way. How can I improve on the quality and definition of placed images in Indesign?

Why is that saving as PDF increase the file sizes?

Hola
I've been notice that when I save a file as PDF, in CS5 it increase the file size to double that before.
Even saving it with the same setting than before.
For example, most of my Business Card file that I sent to print, use to be 1.5 or so megabytes
Now if I open the same file, --or a new file-- and save it, it will increase it to double that size
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hola and Thanks for your help
Ok, I've been using Photoshop since version 6 or so (around year 2000)
Just upgrade to CS5
Before, for example, I'll make a file in PS, merge the layers, open a new file whit the same dimensions, resolution etc,
and save this file as PDF to send to printers.
Tthe file(s) that I have or were create them in CS4, than saved as PDFs have a file sizes of 1 to 2 megabytes as average.
The NEW files (in the same sequence) that I create now, have an average of 3 Mbytes
Even do, I save them with the same --I believe-- setting in PDF
There's may be a new feature in PDF save dialogue box that I'm not getting?
or, it just more information that it is put into?
Thanks

Tiff placed in Indesign and set to Multiply mode - potential problems?

I am set to send a file to print and would appreciate any heads up on any potential problems.
It's a simple file: cmyk yellow background colour with a bog standard Tiff of black line artwork. Because the Tiff is black artwork on a white background I've set the tiff to multiply mode so the white vanishes and I'm left with just the black lines on the yellow backround.
Is this the best way to go about this or does it (multiply mode) create problems? Would italways be best to attempt to create a psd with the black line work on a seperate layer (not a white background but transparent)? What's the "industry standard" way to handle this?
Thanks.

If the artwork is just black ink, it should be saved as Grayscale or Bitmap mode. The white parts will take on the color of the frame fill. Grays will be somewhere between black and fill color, depending on the density, or you can change the black to another color.
