Creating a hi-res vsn of a logo

Hi,
I am trying to create a hi res version
of a logo for someone.
If I copy and place the logo as a
smart object into a photoshop file
and then save it as a .tif with 300
dpi resolution and CMYK should
that make it a hi res version?
Thanks.

If it is originally vector anyway there would seem to be little need for creating a high resolution pixel version at all as the vector data will not deteriorate in upscaling.
An image of 300ppi resolution is only hi res as longa as it is not blown up in a layout application for example – the important thing is the effective resolution in a given layout.
So placing it as a smart object in a photoshop file, flattening it, making it 300 dpi and saving it does not make it hi res?
Why flatten it before resampling? That pretty much thwarts the benefit of placing a Vector Smart Object in the first place (at least for upsampling).
And the Color Mode CMYK is not in itself the same as the proper Color Space for various possible printing processes – those may vary widely with regard to Total Area Coverage and GCR/UCR.

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.

Creating a high res pdf from a tiff.

I have a tif with following dimensions: 38.74 cm x 28.85 cm at res 300ppi.
Now this going to be printed on canvas that is 6.43meters x 5.77meters, I will adjust the dimensions with a frame so I do not need to stretch the image in any direction.
I have placed this image in indesign and illustrator and generated a high quality print (PDF) with dimensions 643 mm x 577 mm (as printing company works at 10%).
This is a close up of the image:
There is pixelation.
My questions are
Is the original tiff resolution not enough, it is quite a high res! If this is the case what size and res image do I ask my photographer to produce.
Or do I accept the fact that there will be pixelation?
Can I do anything in photoshop, Illustrator to combat this problem?
As I will be doing more of these prints (sumner, NZ container ART project), I need to create a document with minimum specs, what do you think these specs should be.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

1) If you plan on working in centimeters then you should work with ppc not ppi. If you are use to ppi then work in inches, it is much easier then trying to convert between the two systems.
2) (I am use to inches therefore thats what my example will be)
Your specs convert (approx. 25.32" x 22.72")
25.32 x 300ppi = 7596px
22.72 x 300ppi = 6816px
A 25.32" x 22.72" @300ppi = 7596px X 6816px
The number is pixels is what is required in order for your image to not be pixelated. Technically you may get away with 150ppi but I usually stick with 300ppi just out of habbit.
Remember that TIFF images are raster images and therefore, you need to be aware of its pixel size when doing any printing.
When scaling up an image, the computer must make up the missing data so you can only scale just so much before seeing its defects.
This information only applies to raster images and not vector data.

How to create 2-color Pantone image from jpeg logo

Working in CS3 under XP, I need to convert a jpeg rvb image of a logo into a 2-color pantone image to import it into an Illustrator file. I can isolate the logo's two distinct colors using the select wand and then tried filling the selections with the closest Pantone colors, but the rvb layers still seem to exist. I have saved in .eps DCS2, but the imported colors when sampled in Illustrator are still rvb/cmyk. Is there a way to isolate the shapes/colors and then transfer them as vector images into Illustrator, where I could fill them with the Pantone colors? Or a simpler way not necessarily using Photoshop? Thanks very much!

Is this a vector image or pixels? EPS can be both.
Better than selecting it with automatic functions like magic wand is to draw it manually in Illustrator. If it already is vector (like shape layers), then you can just copy the paths from Photoshop and paste into Illustrator.

Chose "encode selected video files" to create apple pro res, but only gave me audio. now files are gone.

Hello, I chose the "encode selected video files" from the finder to convert some H.264 files to Apple ProRes. It outputed only audio (but still as a .mov file). And I also selected to delete the source files after finished, so now the originals are gone and i'm left with only audio. is there any way to get back my original files?

Sounds like you selected Audio Only
If you regularly back up your system, you could locate the copy of the original file and restore it .

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.

Creating a high quality website logo in Photoshop or Illustrator

I'm trying to create a very high quality crips website logo using Photoshop or Illustrator, but everytime I export the design into PNG, the text borders are not as crip compared with Google logo. How do I create a very crips and sharp logo using Adobe software? Please tell me what software, how to export, what the size of the document should be, what resolution, any detailed tricks, designs and pointers would be helpful. I know I can create a logo, but it is blurry and it shows. When I put my logo on a gray background for instance, the text becomes more blurrier. You know the deal.

hmmm. Where to start?
The question points to several areas of digital design fundamentals that indicate you need to educate yourself through classes, books, tutorials. The PS Forum can't really get at all the issues you bring up; resolution, vector vs raster, web graphics, transparency and the web. You are asking how to make a logo and that is a really broad request not easily answered.
A quick search for "Photoshop for Web Design" yields a lot of possibilities. There are a lot of books and a lot of free and not so free online tutorials.
Here are a couple:

Creating Hi Res PDF files from Illustrator CS3 with overprints

I am trying to create a hi res PDF of an Illustrator CS3 file which has overprints included. I am creating the PDF through Acrobat 9. Once created the visual on screen does not maintain the overprint. I know that I can view the overprint in Acrobat 9 by going to Advanced-print production-output preview. Is there any way of saving this preview so it automatically activates when the PDF is opened?
I have opened the PDF in Acrobat 7 and this has a tick option next to overprint preview which stays activated. Does 9 have this anywhere?

There is a setting for overprint displays in the preferences of Acrobat 9. It's in the Page Display section, under "Page Content and Information". The options are: 1) Only for PDF/X files (which is the default setting); 2) Never; 3) Always; and 4) Automatic. I would recommend changing this to Automatic, which examines the file to see if there's any content that needs overprint preview on to display correctly.
These settings are also available in Adobe Reader 9.
You cannot save the view with the file so that it always displays with overprint (since this might require that it make a change to the user's preferences if they aren't set up to display it). But the overprints are there and ready to be displayed if the application is set up to display them.
Is this what you were looking for?

Help With Creating 'Hi-Res' PDF Document?

Hi
I am needing to meet a deadline tomorrow in supplying a magazine publication with a trade advert for my business.
The magazine editor tells me he requires my advert to be emailed to him in 'HI-RES PDF FORMAT, 300 DPI'.
Currently, my advert is a simple MICROSOFT WORD document, which is printed out for flyers etc. It is acceptable quality for my needs. I have very little knowledge at this point of making my advert into 'HI-RES PDF'.
However, I do have access to ADOBE ACROBAT V9.0 PRO EXTENDED, and understand I can use this to create the document that is required?
My main questions at this point are, where do I begin researching how to turn my current WORD document into the '300 DPI HI-RES' picture that is required? What is the process involved? How do I go about 'creating a hi-res picture' from my humble Word document?
What I don't understand at the moment is, the difference between me emailing the magazine my Word document in its current .doc form, and needing to involve Adobe Acrobat to achieve 'best quality' HI-RES/300 DPI. Do I need to make my Word document into PDF to improve its quality?
Totally new to this, would greatly appreciate any help/advice.

I wish I had more time to spend getting up to speed on these issues, unfortunately the deadline looms tomorrow [new business, urgent last minute advertising and all that]. I expect to have a genuine hi-res advert ready for next month's issue - in the meanime, Aandi, how would you recommend I best go about things from what I have, or can modify/recreate fairly quickly?
Guidlines given by magazine publication: 'Hi-Res PDF Document, 300DPI, 12cm W x 9cm H
OK, my advert in Word is mostly black text on a white background, and there is a colour picture in it [to help illustrate my services]. So the picture is not 300dpi hi-res, I accept that, and I accept it will not be printed in the magazine necessarily any better than I can manage from my inkjet printer.
But considering the magazine is a glossy, hi-res publication, surely the picture will not be printed in any WORSE quality than I can get out of my cheap £80 printer? If I know what to expect, I know how I can play around with the current lo-res images I have at my disposal.
There are a number of options I currently have to replace the picture in my advert, and some have a deliberately 'hazy' look to them already - I am thinking perhaps pictures with this kind of styling which are far from 300 DPI anyway would be a better choice? At least in the printing reproduction, the degrasion would not look like a cheap 'error' but rather simply the style of the picture?
And what about my Word TEXT? Forgetting pictures for the moment, will the all important text parts of my advert reproduce as good as I can get them in 'best' quality from my printer?
What I am aiming for this evening, is once I have decided upon the kind of lo-res picture [if any] I am including in my advert, allowing for degrasion because it is not 300 DPI, can I then concentrate on the TEXT information and still work on this within MICROSOFT WORD before submitting it to Adobe Acrobat and producing the PDF document? I do not have to do anything special to the text at any point to make it 'high resolution'?
Thank you again for your help so far.

Possible to create medium res .pdf file with InDesign CS5?

Hello,
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to create a medium res .pdf file with InDesign CS5?
I'm working with a client and have been sending him both high res and low res files of a catalog project. High res .pdf is 12.8MB and low res is 1.2MB. He is asking whether I can create something in between the two, say somewhere around 6 to 8 MB.
Any insight would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Tania

PDFs do not have a resolution. The graphics within do, however..
Look at the downsampling settings and experiment until you get what you want.
