Best way to insert 300dpi photo's into Ilustrator file for print

I am creating a 5.5 X 8 postcard style card for print.  I need to place 15 photographs that are aprox. 1.5 X 2.5 each.  What is the best way to insert these files so that my file doesn't become too large?  I will be making a PDF of the final artwork to send to the printer.  Your guidance is much appreciated!!

Link don't embed the images. Use a layered format such as .psd, .tif, or .pdf. Psd is not lossy, .tif can be lossy if you modify the default settings, .pdf you choose how much compression you want, and a small amount of compression can make a much smaller file size.
I would recomend using .psd, in cmyk color space. When you make your pdf for printing is when you will decide how much compression and which pdf preset you will use(press ready or PDF X should be a good choice). That will be your important choice.

  • Best way to insert millions of records into the table

    Hi,
    Performance point of view, I am looking for the suggestion to choose best way to insert millions of records into the table.
    Also guide me How to implement in easier way to make better performance.
    Thanks,

    If the source data is already in the database, it is centralised.
    In that case you ideally do not want the overhead of shipping that data to a client, the client processing it, and the client shipping the results back to the database to be stored (inserted).
    It is must faster and more scalable for the client to instruct the database (via a stored proc or package) what to do, and that code (running on the database) to process the data.
    For a stored proc, the same principle applies. It is faster for it to instruct the SQL engine what to do (via an INSERT..SELECT statement), then pulling the data from the SQL engine using a cursor fetch loop, and then pushing that data again to the SQL engine using an insert statement.
    An INSERT..SELECT can also be done as a direct path insert. This introduces some limitations, but is faster than a normal insert.
    If the data processing is too complex for an INSERT..SELECT, then pulling the data into PL/SQL, processing it there, and pushing it back into the database is the next best option. This should be done using bulk processing though in order to optimise the data transfer process between the PL/SQL and SQL engines.
    Other performance considerations are the constraints on the insert table, the triggers, the indexes and so on. Make sure that data integrity is guaranteed (e.g. via PKs and FKs), and optimal (e.g. FKs should be indexes on the referenced table). Using triggers - well, that may not be the best approach (like for exampling using a trigger to assign a sequence value when it can be faster done in the insert SQL itself). Personally, I avoid using triggers - I rather have that code residing in a PL/SQL API for manipulating data in that table.
    The type of table also plays a role. Make sure that the decision about the table structure, hashed, indexed, partitioned, etc, is the optimal one for the data structure that is to reside in that table.

  • What is the best way to plug my iPhone 5 into a mixer for live music performances?

    I'm thinking of performing live with my iPhone 5 or maybe an iPad that I haven't bought yet. What is the best way to get the sound for the device to a mixer or PA? I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with wireless options. I'm wondering if it is stable enough for live performance. There doesn't seem to be any audio interface options yet.

    there is always the 3.5mm minijack out connector sure it's analogue but a cable with male minijack in 1 and and 2 rca in the other would work with most mixers and or pa's

  • What's the best way to insert a numbers sheet into pages?

    I have some spreadsheets in numbers that I want to insert in pages...somehow it's not so intuitive.
    First of all when I paste them in a pages text box...a part of the sheets fall off the botom of the page
    Even a bigger problem...The should be in landscape...while all my text is in portrait...
    Anybody?
    Thx.

    (1) you can't insert a sheet in Pages. Only tables !
    (2) before pasting your table in Pages, you may resize it so that it may fit in a page.
    (3) the users which took time to look in Pages User Guide are aware of a feature described as : Linking Text Boxes.
    It's a good answer to your problem.
    In a Word Processor document, create a text box and paste your table in the new tex box.
    At the bottom of the box you will see a small square with a symbol plus. It's a flag warning you  that the box contents is too large for the box.
    No problem, insert a page break to force the opening of a new page then read carefully the user guide :
    Applying what I highlighted, you will create a new box linked to the first one so that your table will flow in it.
    If it's not sufficient, you may link a third box …
    More, we are allowed to rotate the text boxes so you may edit them a way allowing them to host your landscape table.
    From my user's point of view, it's absolutely intuitive.

  • In Acrobat Professional 8, what is the best way to insert/combine multiple pdf's together in a large

    In Acrobat Professional 8, what is the best way to insert/combine multiple pdf's together in a large volume?
    We have 300 pdf reports and need to insert a 2 page cover page infront of each report. Not sure if Batch processing is best???
    Thanks for any tips.

    Probably each cover page is different too. I would probably just bite the bullet and do each individually. I would create the 2 cover pages in WORD or other word processor and print to cover.pdf. Then open a PDF and Pages>Insert Pages or the cover.pdf to the front of the open PDF and save as to the current PDF. Then repeat 299 times. Each time you would make the appropriate change to the DOC file and print a new cover.pdf file (you might want to turn off open in Acrobat for this processing in the printer properties to save time). Probably a good idea to keep a list of the files to check off what has been done (you can generate a list in DOS by Start>cmd, change the directory to your location [cd path], and do "dir >>list.txt". That will give you a list to use.). There may be an easier way, but by the time you get it figured out you might be done this way.

    Yep you link in now fixed. what most likely happed is when you click on Link tool in the forum, when window open the http:// is already in the window. Most likely you clicked at the beginning of the http and pasted your link.
    I always when this window open triple click on the http:// so everything is selected, then hit Delete (I use Mac - PC it would be backspace) so window is completely empty then I paste the link.

  • I burned a playlist to a data CD using itunes 11 but what is best way to get it import it into another computer with itunes running?

    I burned a playlist to a data CD using itunes 11 but what is best way to get it import it into another computer with itunes running?  I get an "X" when trying to copy to the "automatically add to itunes" folder on the 2nd computer.

    ok... so i i just made sure all my music is all together in 1 folder and i am going to trash my old music folder that is in the itunes folder... and follow your directions - let itunes start w/new library and bring my music in. Well, last little hurdle/question. I noticed that the place where my itunes library is - on an external drive doesnt have much space left on it. The place where i gathered all my music together in order to start fresh - is a different external drive and has LOTS of free space on it.
    SO... i now would like to just keep all that freshly compiled clean music right where it is but in advanced preferences I want to point to that new folder on the drive that has so much more space. So... should i delete the old music then go into itunes with a blank library and change the folder in preferences - quit and go back in and then follow your steps to loading my music? If i change the setting of where itunes looks for the music - that doesn't wipe out the old stuff... it just mixes it all up together right? I dont want that!!
    i promise this is the last question - i would love to fix this problem tonight and just be DONE!
    Thanks in advance for your patience and knowledge!!

  • The Best Way To Edit Multiple Photos On One Scan

    Hi...
    I would like to know what the best way to edit out photo’s from a scan that has multiple photo’s?
    It seems like I must make a duplicate of the scan, in the amount of photos, on that one scan and then crop each “duplication”.
    Is there some other way that is better?
    Any suggestion, comments and opinions will be appreciated
    Thank you in advance...

    Catharsis:
    If you're using Canon's Canoscan Toolbox application to scan the photos try deleting its preference file, com.canon.CanoScan Toolbox 5.0.plist, and try again.
    In the CanoScan window make sure Select Source is Platen, Scan mode is Color (Mulit-scan) as seen in the screenshot below. That will crop and save each photo to its own file.

    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • What is the best way to transfer only Photos and Music from imac to imac?

    hello i have an old 24" imac that is loaded down with iphoto pictures and itunes music. i recently got the new 27" imac and wish to only transfer the photos and music files to the new computer. i have a cloned hard drive of my old imac as well as a time capsule copy of it.
    i don't want to just restore my entire old hard drive onto my new imac because there is a lot of junk on there i don't want on there. so, what is the easiest way to move just these two types of files? i don't know how to find these files and move them?
    i know how to attach both imacs via firewire, i just don't know what is the best way to make the transfer of both these file types?
    thank you!

    copy the folders /users/username/music/itunes and /users/username/pictures/iphoto library to the corresponding locations on the new install.
    note: itunes and iphoto should not be running when you do this.
