Cropping ans sending out for prints

I've been using Aperture for a while. I've cropped many pictures. I've tried to read aas much as I can baout how the crop in Aperure works, but I've not seen to much.
I cropped a picture. RAW file from D50. Picture of a person on Portrait mode on the camera. I cropped some extraneous side stuff. i didn't use constrain. I sent the photo out via Aperture for a 16x20 print. I got the print and it looks great but, the photo doesn't cover the full paper. There are two whit borders down each side. Why dould it print to the full paper. Is this due to cropping? Any way to tell?
If I use the constrain feature, say to 8x10 , the largest available, would this make a difference in my print?
Should constrain always be used? Pic a size. What if I select a constrain crop of 4x6, and order and 8x10?
Last does anyone know a site to maybe explain the cropping feature of Aperture?
Thanks

the short answer is yes. if you're going to send out for prints, you should always crop to the final dimensions of your print with the constrain option checked.
the term here is "aspect ratio", which refers to the ratio of the width to the height (or the height to the width, depending on the photo's orientation). you don't really have to worry about the fancy math, just type in the final dimensions of your print in the crop tool and constrain the tool to those dimensions. the great thing about Aperture is that you can order a 4x6, 5x7, and 8x10 of the same photo and get them cropped exactly like you want even though they have different aspect ratios. you just create a different version for each crop size and order the appropriate print sizes for each version.
good luck,

I have justed upgraded CS2 to CS5. How do I set artboard crop or trim marks for printing?

I have justed upgraded CS2 to CS5. How do I set artboard crop or trim marks for printing? It was under the "OBJECTS" menu in CS2, but I can't find it in CS5.

it actually works the same way but better you don't see it that way but with perhaps more experience you might catch on and say "oh now I see that' all I have to do.
Multiple artboards, which you did not have in CS 2 , changes the equation.
When you open a new document you can set up a gangup in the new document dialog then say for a business card then do one business card in the first one.
Then copy the art and text of that first one and in one command paste that art in all of the artboards with one command, you can then make another artboard that encompasses all the artboards and you now have a gang up say six up you can now print all a once as a gang up or print a range of the artboards or specific artboards.
As a matter of fact now that you can paste on all artboards with one command AI CS 5 actually has a step and repeat feature that works verticaly and horizontally at the same time. And an improved version is easily had.
Also since you probably know how many you need of this first artboard then you can simply make one rectangle for for the first artboard and give it a crop area effect and when you do your copy include the rectangle and then paste on all artboards and there you are
look at the video, see how cool. less complicated not more complicated. And as other users explore this function I bet they come up with even better ideas.
http://mysite.verizon.net/wzphoto/Artboards.mov
I am going to make one adjustment here instead of doing a command c to copy the first artboard it would be better to do a command x to cut the first one since the command paste on all artboard does exactly that. So if you do a command c and a command option shift v then you have two rectangles and art and crop marks pasted on top of each other. Probably won't do any harm but might be confusing in the layers panel.

Creating new graphics object from a existing one and sending it for print

Hello,
i have a graphics object which is big in size, I am creating a new graphics object from the existing one as given below
//map is a graphic object
Graphic g1 = (Graphic)map.create(x,y,width,height);
Graphic g2 = (Graphic)map.create(x,y,width1,height1);
Graphic g3 = (Graphic)map.create(x,y,width2,height2);
arrayList.add(g1);
arrayList.add(g2);
arrayList.add(g3);
Now I want to send the graphic object g1,g2,g3 for print in the method
public int print (Graphics g, PageFormat pf, int idx) throws PrinterException {
// Printable's method implementation
if (curPageFormat != pf) {
curPageFormat = pf;
pages = repaginate (pf);
if (idx >= 3)) {
return Printable.NO_SUCH_PAGE;
g = (Graphics) arrayList.get(idx);
return Printable.PAGE_EXISTS;
This is not working... what is wrong. can anybody suggest..
I tried standardprint.java to print a object inside a scrollpane, it is not printing the entire diagram. so I am thinking of something like this.... Please let me know what to do....
Thanks
Serj

The easy way to do this is create a copy using Windows Explorer.
Open the project and go to File > Rename.
Then you have your 2013 ready made project.

Spare materials sending out for repair

All,
Pls see the scenario :
This is a project in Egypt .
Spare materials , for some repairs business will send outside the factory to some vendors for repair .
After repair same material will take back .
1. Whether this is subcontracting or comes in services ?
2. Whether we can use (parts provided to vendor ) ?
Kindly advise.
regards,

Hello Sandeep,
Yes, absulately this is subcontracting scenario.
In my previous project, the client use to send Machine shaft for polishing purpose so we applied the same scenario, but without split valuation.
In you case, the final product and component product can be the same or you can use split valuation as suggested by Manish.
When you create the purchase order for subcontracting put the material number as final product and also as component (qty will be the same). We are just paying for service.
If you use service order then you want be able to track the qty of material which is provided to the vendor.
Hope this helps.

HT201250 When I back up photos, can I get to them easily? 'Restore' seems more involved the just simply grabbing a photo to send off for printing or post on Facebook, for example?

I'm fairly new at backing info up so please bare with me! Lol I just got a G Drive slim and started using time machine. It did its initial back up, can I delete pics off my computer now to free up space? Can I get to my photos easily? I had an external hard drive from office max or something (it failed and I lost a lot) when I plug that in I simply opened it up and looked through my photos. This time machine/g drive seems different...easier I hope. Flipping through 5000 pictures was pretty time consuming. How can I be sure they're all on the hard drive? Do I go through time machine to look at backed up items or click on the drive icon on my desktop? I hope this isn't too confusing...

Nobody can help? :(

Getting ready for printing...

I have a Canon G12 and shoot in RAW format. I know the native aspect ration for this camera in RAW is 4:3. I also know already that the two sizes of finished prints I am interested in are 8x10 and 16x20. After importing the images from my camera into my computer (and into Aperture), I can see that the pixel dimensions for my RAW images are 3648x2736 for portrait (and vice versa for landscape).
After making whatever color correction and changes to the image, I am happy with what I have. So moving onto the crop and aspect ration and dpi settings - and then the export to have an altered and saved new image to send off for printing - this is where I feel totally lost.
For example...the crop sizes listed, I see 4x5/8x10 - my understand is that these sizes...4x5, 8x10, 16x20 - they are all the exact same aspect ration - so no matter how big or small I want to print the image, as long as I want one of those sizes, it would be fine, correct?
When I initially click on the 4x5/8x10 selection, it puts a small crop area in the center of the photo. But it allows me to drag the corners to enlarge the crop area, so I am curious to know...is the 4x5/8x10 crop area that initial smaller section, or is it still the same even if I click and drag ou the corners making it larger.
Does anyone know also, how/where do I change the dpi to 300?
And lastly, how do I know if I have enough pixels to make an 8x10 or a 16x20. I have RAW files and JPEGS - and they all vary in pixel dimension. Is there a simple process to figure out if what I see on the computer screen will look the same as a finished print?

Excellent questions ... that cover a lot of ground.
3648 / 2736 = 1.333333333. The aspect ration is 4:3.
Are you printing from Aperture or sending a file out to be printed? If printing from Aperture, all you need to do is create a Version that is ready to print, and then print it. Printing from Aperture is an export-and-print operation -- there is no need to export the file and save it.
(This is worth understanding. In Aperture, you make Images that are ready to be exported (or printed), but you don't create files (or prints) until you need them.)
The aspect ratio has no units -- it is just a ratio. It describes not the size of a rectangle, but the ratio of the sides of a rectangle. 4:3, 8:6, 1.33:1 are all identical aspect ratios.
Once you have set the aspect ratio, you can set the size (and position) of your rectangular crop by dragging the crop box handles or the crop box itself.
Generally speaking, you will want at least 150 pixels for each inch to be printed, and don't need more than 300. 150 ppi is a slightly impracticable minimum -- you will likely want to use some sophisticated up-rezing to get a stellar print. 200-250 ppi is enough. 300 ppi is plenty. All of this is based on norms of printers, ink, papers, and display (distance, lighting) that may or may not fit your needs.
For a 16" x 20" print that looks good at arm's length 3,200 x 4,000 pixels should suffice.
Aperture includes soft-proofing. You select a profile of the printer, paper, and the printing settings, and Aperture will apply this to your Image and show you what should be a match. Soft-proofing is complicated. At a minimum, you will need a high-quality monitor and hardware calibration.
The User Manual covers much of this in detail particular to Aperture, including a section on Proofing. Well worth reading.

Automatically send out shared review files from hotfolder?

Hi - I haven't been able to find an answer so I hope you can help me.
Basically, I have a group of 10 people who always needs to review PDF files.
Currently one of them is taking care of sending out for shared review but I would like to eliminate that step as it takes a lot of time.
Is it possible to automate this process, e.g. by placing PDFs in a hotfolder and have them sent out automatically for these 10 people? Or is there another option that could completely eliminate the need for a person to send them out for shared review?
Any suggestions are very welcome.
Regards,
Filip Jensen

Hi Filip,
Unfortunately shared reviews are designed to be a manual process initiated on the desktop.

I am trying to crop a portrait photo into 6x4 portrait ready for printing. Iphoto only crops it landscape and therefore cuts out most of the photo. Is there any way of resolving this?

I am trying to crop a portrait photo into 6x4 portrait ready for printing. I am using Iphoto on a Macbook Pro. Everytime I try and crop the photo, it crops in Landscape which cuts out most of the photo. Is there any way of resolving this? I am new to Macs as I am currently switching from MS. It is very easy to do this in MS photo editor so I can't believe it can't be easily done in Iphoto!

These are the two steps that Larry describes:

Help with cropping & sorting images prior to export for print

I have large project (wedding) within which I've sorted images into several folders (pre-wedding, church, family portraits, etc.) within which there are smart albums based on my ratings. I also have a generic "5 Star" album at the top level which contains the final images that have been adjusted and which the client has been provided with in order to choose from.
I now have a list of print requirements from the client (image name, size, and quantity).
I'm curious to know what the quickest way to sort and tag the images selected for print, particularly in view of there being a number of different size requests for the images which are to be printed.
Also - I'd value opinions (based on experience) on whether I should bother cropping to size for images that are 5x7 and 8x10 (the default ratio is 2x3 at the moment).
The bottom line is that I'm trying to minimise the amount of time I spend on print tagging and cropping prior to export, and post export sorting prior to sending off to the lab.
Thanks,
Paul

To answer your questions:
I am assuming that you want a new version of the crop size especially if you have an image/s that are required in multiple sizes like 8x10 and 5x7 the image would end up in each crop size album so you would have two versions one for each aspect ratio and doing the new version in the context of the album would make in the album pic so that the proper one will be at the top of the stack in each respective album.
Orientation does not matter with the stamp it will work fine - if you have an issue let me know.
with respect to the stamp - the stamp will position the crop relative to the one you lifted - if your lifted crop is in the middle then so will the stamped ones.
As for adjustment of the crop - just click on the crop tool, the click on the browser image and arrow through the images with the crop tool open - you can drag the crop around for each one with a minimum of keystrokes.
Try it and hit me back with issues. I do this all the time and it is about 3000x quicker than my old workflow 5 years ago. For that matter the power of albums, stacks, and stack picks for this kind of thing is fabulous, there are a million ways to use it to speed things up. Bonus is that you are not copying anything so it is virtually free from a resource perspective.
Last but not least I would think twice before using a smart album to do this, youi really do not want the content changing in this type of album, it will not save you any time, I would use static albums in the manner that I suggested.

Cropping for print

I have looked all over for this information but can't seem to find it - sooo if you are cropping a photo to send to a lab for print, I have heard that you need to make it a little smaller than the required output size because the labs allow a certain leeway for printer 'error'. In other words, a 4 X 6 inch print should be sized 3.89 X 5.68 (I made these numbers up!). My question is (are) then is there a formula for deciding how much smaller to make the print size? Is there a chart? Is each lab noticibly different?
Thanks for advice,
j.

First time I ever used their service. So Noobie lessons for me. lol.
The more I use their machine the better I'll understand all the options. And thanks thats good to know.
For now I am using the fuji machine at Walmart. (Oh I can see the shuttering faces)
I figure it the best for me at the moment until I need a pro service.
Do you know if it can handle a picture package. I thought I saw that option for a single image on the machine. I am assuming that you just pick the 8 x 10 size and it should handle a jpg of that size.
Though the file size would be huge. I just got the Canon 40D about a month ago. So lessons there as well.
BTW does anybody know why the Kodak machine can not read a compactFlash card. But the Fuji Machine can?
Sorry for getting a little off topic.

HT1040 I cannot upload my iphoto book to the apple store for printing, it cuts out half way through the download. What can I do?

I have made a photo book which is ready now to send to the apple store for printing but half way through the download process it cuts out unexpectadly and will not send. I have printed many books from my computer through Iphoto and have never had this problem before. What could be the problem? I have checked for updates and installed all of them. Turned my computer off and then on again. But still keeps doing this. Help ?

Apple's servers are very busy today, right after the big WWDC conference and the announcement of new products.
download process it cuts out unexpectadly and will not send
The reason for this may be that the book contains photos that cannot be rendered. Have you checked the preview of your book? Does the pdf look correct?
See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040
If that is not the problem, check your network and your security settings. If you are using a Firewall or Antivirus filter, disable it temporarily.

Business iCal sending out multiple calendar invites - one calendar and one account, 2 people using it for work

First question:
My boss has a Macbook Pro (iPad & iPhone), I have a Dell and iPad. We use his iCal for our work calendar and my Outlook is logged into his iCal so that I can load appointments & send them out to clients. He obviously has access to the same calendar so that he can also load appointments.
We have realised that sometimes the meeting invite, although I only send ONE invite out, will send 6 invites to a person. Here below you will see the icons that appear next to the 6 invites that the person that receives it sees next to the invites. It is therefor 3 types of emails/invites that are each sent out twice to the client. This is obviously not ideal. Could it be that I must not include my boss in the invites (as it is already his calendar sending out the invites), or what could it be that I am doing wrong?
Second question:
How can I ensure that replies (Yes/No/Maybe/Comments) appear in the iCal meeting, as people reply, but those replies I have to copy and paste into the meeting as they do not currently automatically update in the meeting.
Third question:
Any suggestions on a better system/method?
Please help!

I think I know what can help. I also support Mac users in a mixed environment, and find that being able to access a Windows machine to test settings for my iCal users is very very helpful. If you do not have one, I could also fix this one by adding the user's account to my one Mac that runs Entourage.
On a PC: set up one of the problem accounts in Outlook, then go to Tools->Options & click on the Delegates tab. Click on a Delegate name (if they all have the same permission level, you can select all), then click the Permissions button. If the delegate have "Editor" permissions, there will be a little checked box that sends the delegate copies of all those meetings. De-select it.
Lemme know if you want Entourage instructions or if that does it for you.
The real question, of course, is why are there so many Exchange functions that iCal can't touch. Grrrr....

lots of people seem to be havgin a problem sending email from iCloud webmail.
does your email address have uppercase characters in it?
if so, try creating an alias in lowercase (go to preferences in iCloud webmail and select 'accounts') and see if email sends okay from that

How to Suppress the POP UP window for Print out Device

Hi All,
I have One ALV Grid report and in this report I want to SUBMIT another report which, when executes gives the POP UP window for Printer Device and sends the output to that device. if we give LOCL, sends output to Spool.
So I want to Suppress that POP UP Window and by default that POP UP window should take 'LOCL' as Printer Device.
Thanks in advance,
Helpful answer get awareded.

On the submit command is a spool parameters option.
The addition WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO suppresses the print dialog box that is displayed as standard when you use the addition TO SAP-SPOOL.
The addition SPOOL PARAMETERS is used to transfer the print parameters in a pri_params structure that belongs to the data type PRI_PARAMS from the ABAP Dictionary.
PRI_PARAMS-PDEST specificies the output device.
