Bleed and crop lines

Hi all,
Just wanted to know if/how one can set the bleed and crop marks in pages.
I'm using the trial and would like these features to print artwork that bleeds off the page.
Thanks,
naj

hi frank,
thanks for the tip, its a shame however that such a well designed piece of software lacks such a simple feature.
I sure hope apple implements it in the future.
You see what I need this for is that I'm working on a comic book. I'd like to be able to produce a PDF that would be suitable to be used by a printer/pod printer. So crop marks and bleed are quite important.
Your suggestion is a very nice and simple workaround that I will probably end up using. I'll have to get all the details on whats needed by the printer tho - I'm a newbie to this whole industry you see, more of a hobby really.
have you any other suggestion that might help my cause in light of that?

Working with bleeds and crop lines

I have a document in Indesign that is 7" x 7". One one page of this document I have an image that is 8 x 8. Therefore, it is a full four-sided bleed.
I want to be able to print or PDF this document so that the crop lines appear and the full 8 x 8 image appears (or at least, an image larger than the page size). This way it would be easy to cut out the image using a blade without white space peeking out.
Can this be done in Indesign? If so, how would I go about doing it?
Any help would be much appreciated.

I'm sorry but I don't understand how to use the bleed, slug and crop features.
I would have thought I could specify a page be 7 x 7 and have crop marks that are 7 x 7. And then I could set the bleed marks to be 0.5 inches out each way resulting in a bleed.
But if this is the case, I am doing something wrong. Because changing the bleed seems to do the opposite. Obviously, I'm confused here about how this works. Any ideas?

Bleed and crop marks in Pages '09

Need to export pages document as PDF with bleed and crop marks, HOW do I do that?
The printer needs to have bleed in the document to be able to crop.

Hi Daniel,
Welcome to the forum.
Pages does not have bleeds, crop marks nor slugs.
You will need to increase the page size all round by 3/8" or 10mm and add them as 100% cmyk rules to the corners.
Best done in Word Processing mode with the crops as master objects so they appear on every page.
Crude, primitive and harking back to what I had to do back in the 80's and early 90's, but Pages seems to be in a time warp.

How can I make a print-ready book-file in lightroom 4, with bleeds and crop marks?

I am wondering if its possible to make a file that includes bleed and crop marks from lightroom 4? I have made a book, but it lacks these features, which makes the printers unable to print my book. Do I have to use indesign instead?

How can I extract Trim, Art, Bleed and Crop Box information from PDF document

I want to know where in PDF are these information saved. I need my program to know these numbers without me manually rewriting them.

Use the getPageBox method.
getPageBox can get the dimensions of the following:
Art
Bleed
BBox
Crop (default)
Trim
There is an example in the JavaScript for Acrobat reference that gets the dimensions of the media box and displays it in the console window:
var aRect = this.getPageBox("Media");
var width = aRect[2] - aRect[0];
var height = aRect[1] - aRect[3];
console.println("Page 1 has a width of " + width + " and a height of " + height);

You plan to use Photoshop to lay out an entire magazine? I'll say a prayer for you.

Problems with bleed and exporting to PDF.

Hi,
I am having a slight problem exporting a file to pdf in Indesign CS3.
I have my documents set up with a 3mm bleed and I have made sure that the images and work extend passed the bleed marks as they should. The problem is that when I export to pdf, the pdf file appears to have cropped the work exactly on the bleed line leaving nothing extending passed the bleed. The 3mm bleed area is still there but nothing is extending into it which is kind of pointless. I don't know whether there is a setting I am missing or something like that but any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

"It appears to crop it exactly on the bleed line."
for the record, isn't that what it's supposed to do?
Your bleed line is 3mm outside the trim. Anything you bleed will be contained in that 3mm band. If you hang any more than 3mm off the edge, only the 3mm in the bleed band will show on the PDF.

Showing crop lines on a printed or saved image

Is it possible to either print or save an image that shows the crop lines from Lightroom (i.e. shows what is both in AND out of the image as it is cropped). I'm working off a scanned negative and I want to show my printer just how to crop the image. She was hoping to see both what's inside and outside the crop? Possible to get that to her either by printing that from my computer or emailing it to her?

Saving trim, bleed and registry marks

I am trying to set up a series of calendar pages for professional printing. The printer has requested I forward in 'eps' format with trim,bleed and registry marks. I have followed these instructions to do so. http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WSfd1234e1c4b69f30ea53e41001031ab64-7799a.h tml
However, nowhere on here can I find instructions on how these marks can be saved to the file using the print dialogue. Only options available are 'cancel' , 'done' and 'print'. Since I don't want to cancel or print I used the 'done' option and forwarded the file to the printer. The printer reports than none of the markings are saved to the files.

First of all:
You might want to exercise more impulse control, your rudeness seems rather regrettable.
This is a user-to-user-Forum and people can post here whether the original posters can distinguish the relevance (if any) of other peoples’ posts or not.
If you took the trouble to peruse the site you linked to more thoroughly you might have noticed the line
»Home / Using Photoshop / Printing / Printing images to a commercial printing press«
Wonder what the author meant by »Printing«?
Raising the print-dialog without actually printing will not create an eps-file – because you did not actually print anything.
And from what I remember from your original post the printer asked for an eps-file, not a psd-file with some customized print-settings.
If you are a photographer or some other professional in the field of graphic design or the like you may want to look into Acrobat (and I wrote »Acrobat Professional«, not »Adobe Professional«) and/or proper layout applications like Indesign for tasks like this one.
Edit: Though there are probably freeware alternatives, too.

Bleeds and Trim Marks

So I am desinging a business card for a company I work for. The company we are sending them off too obviously needs to have the bleed and trims marks. The only thing I can't figure out is how do I make the bleed marks visible to them? When I print the document it shows me the trim marks but since I have a white background, it looks as if there is no border. Should I add a border to the actual Artboard?

You can use the automated marks
If you want to draw your own trimmarks
file >> document setup>> set the bleed amount - you will see a red line showing you where the bleed ends

Crop lines on exported video

Hey people!
I'm editing a video on Premiere CS5.5 where i need to use the crop tool on the sides of the original video (to get rid of unwanted elements), use the change color tool to make the background white and then use a white background layer... now i have a problem! when i watch the exported file i can see thin white lines, them being the crop lines... how do i get rid of them?
by the way, if anyone knows a simplier and faster way to do what i intend, which is basically giving a full white background to a video where i have a female model on a yellowish background with unwanted elements on the sides (projectors and stuff) let me know please!
cheers and thanks!
Ivo

as far as I understood, what you are trying too do is remove the background. Instead of replacing the color with white, why not just replace it with transparent? This is best done with a key, for example the build in ultra key is not too bad and is far more flexible than the color replace tool.
Now to get rid of other elements in the background I recomend the garbage mask, which comes with 8 or 16 points.
About the crop tool: in CC there is a great new feature which allows you to feather the edges of the croped images.

Problem With the Marquee and Crop Tools

I have just upgraded to Photoshop CS5.
Whenever I drag out a rectangular marquee, elliptical marquee, or crop lines, while in the process of dragging, it draws the selection ("marching ants") from the center-out. It's as though I am holding down the option key, even when I am not. It's particularly annoying.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is this some kind of glitch? Is there anything I can do to fix this?

You know, the more I use it, the more I realize that it's all sorts of things beyond the Marquee and Crop tools. It's "glitching" all over the place, and, you're right: it is doing things as though modifier keys like shift or option are being held down, even thought they're not.
As for the OS version: I haven't noticed anything weird happening yet on my work computer, which is still 10.6.4. The one that has the problem is my laptop, which is new, and it started out with CS5 on 10.6.5. So it seems consistent with the theory that 10.6.5 is part of the problem.
I logged out and then back in, as per some suggestions I derived from past threads, and that seems to have fixed it. At least for now. Folks are saying, though, that it is only temporary until the issue returns.
