Having troubles with aspect and size when exporting to CD

I would like to export my pics to a CD so i can send them out to be printed in a lab. I'm confused with the aspect ratio when I crop them i know I have to lock the aspect but should I keep it on Original? Also i'm wondering when it comes to export them what size should I be placing if I want to print all sizes. like some 8x10 and some 4x6 and so on. I'm working with Lightroom 3. Thanks in advance : )

The crop aspect lock only comes into play while you are actively resizing the crop boundary. LR always works in a freehand manner, except that if the ratio is locked, adjusting the crop frame is allowed to alter its size and location and angle - but not its shape. If the ratio is not locked, you will be changing the crop shape freely if/when you drag the corner or edge handles around. The rest of the time, the lock makes no difference; and it is just as possible BTW to lock a random freehand aspect ratio, as it is to lock one of the standard preset ones.
If you are uploading an exported copy for printing, you could simply upload a JPG made at the original resolution (as cropped for composition and angle) - that is, unchecking the whole resizing section of the Export dialog - and give the printer instructions as to how large the various prints are to be. Or I suppose, you could resize to the largest of the sizes that you require, but you will then need to negotiate a pixels-per-inch "resolution" setting that will be appropriate - since, when resizing to a page size, this figure governs the pixel content of the file produced.
I would suggest that in the case of an export without resizing, where a generous quantity of pixels are included for the sorts of page sizes mentioned, you will likely not see any discernible printed benefit from setting the highest JPG quality setting for your export, but will be fine with around quality 6 to 8 - which brings the file sizes down significantly. Most often, printing services will presume that you have selected sRGB colourspace for your export, unless something different has been pre-agreed.

  • Having problems with audio and video when exporting to quicktime

    I've exported a couple of keynote presentations to Quicktime and uploaded to youtube with no problems. I've now added a motion background in my intro, which looks great in keynote, but, it would appear that it causes problems. The mov file does play the animation, but, not as it was recorded, the audio then becomes out of sync and the advance on slides is all over the place with some not appearing. Is this a common problem? I am exporting at best quality and 1280 x 720, leaving all other settings as preset. I suspect that if I drop the background altogether it will work, but, it looks so great in keynote that'd be a shame. Any tips?

  • I'm Having trouble with OWA and Certs after the Rollup 7 for SP3 installation. any idea? update 2961522-

    Hi, everyone.
    I'm Having trouble with OWA and Certs after the Rollup 7 for SP3 installation. any idea? update 2961522-
    after running get-OWAVirtualDirectory or test-OWAConnectivity i'm getting a message that says "OWA it's Orphan, No Metadata information can be found."
    I only have the OWA users impacted.- anywhere users, and ActiveSync are working well.-

    Hi Fabian,
    Is there any error code when user access their mailbox on OWA. Please confirm if there is no results returned in EMS when you run Get-OWAVirtualDirectory cmdlet. Also check whether there is any Event Logs related to OWA in Exchange.
    In IIS manager, make sure the OWA virtual directory is listed in the Default Web Site. In EMC, we can navigate to Server Configuration > Client Access, select server and turn to Outlook Web App tab. Then we can click Reset Virtual Directory in the right
    Actions pane to reset OWA virtual directory.
    Additionally, please restart IIS service by running iisreset /noforce from a Command Prompt window.

    I have an iPhone and just goy I pad but no computer I'm trying to synch them together but having trouble with iCloud and I can't seem to subscribe for iTunes match from either devise

    You first have to subscribe to iTunes Match through iTunes on your computer and have your music library in iTunes uploaded/matched before you can enable it on your iOS devices (see http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/).  Without a computer you won't be able to use iTunes Match.

  • I am having trouble with safari and most apps shutting down when I'm in the middle of stuff what do I need to do to resolve this?

    I am havering trouble with safari and apps shutting down on me all the time what can I do to resolve this problem. Thanks :-)

    Make sure you have enough free space on your iPad. With iOS 7 it is recommended that you have 15-20% of the storage space on the device free.  For a 16 GB device that is 2.4-3.2 GB free. For a 32 GB device that is 4.8-6.4 GB free. For a 64 GB device that is 9.6-12.8 GB free.
    Also try a reset. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • Having trouble with flash and linking to Sliding panels - PLEASE help

    Having trouble with Sliding panels and flash. Otherwise everything works fine but when I'm trying to implement the link
    <a href="#" onclick="sp1.showPanel('panel1'); return false;">Panel1</a>
    to a flash button I get confused. I have tried following
    on (press) {
    getURL("javascript:sp1.showPanel('panel1');");
    and it did not work. What would you suggest? I am desperate. Please help me! Any suggestions are highly appreciated!!!!

    Thanks for your answer!
    I have tried both sp1.ShowPanel('panel1'); and window.sp1.ShowPanel('panel1'); they both give blank window with [object]
    I have found a solution that works in other browsers, but not in IE. Well basicly it works, but after a few clicks IE freezes.
    on (press) {
    getURL("javascript:sp1.showPanel('panel1'); void(0);");
    Would you happen to have a solution other than that? I believe that the void(0); causes the IE to freeze.

  • Having trouble with Dreamweaver and fireworks willing to pay for support

    I'm new to the forum and i was hoping to get some help with
    dreamweaver and fireworks.
    I built a site on my own using dreamweaver 3 years ago but
    have forgotten almost everything. I am planning on building a new
    web site and have been messing with dreamweaver for over a week
    trying to figure it out, with little success. I bought a web
    building package years ago that included fireworks, dreamweaver,
    freehand and maybe more, but i lost my books on dreamweaver and
    fireworks somehow.
    Anyways, I was trying to learn dreamweaver 3 and fireworks
    and was having a lot of trouble with it. The dreamweaver bible
    assumes you know how to make a navigation bar using fireworks and
    that simply isnt the case for me. So I need help with that.
    Also, i have been having trouble with my template. This is
    how you save your basic page correct? For some reason it doesnt
    save the whole page for me. I figured out the editable regions
    part, I think, but since i didnt know how to make a navigation bar
    I made my own links out of text, and this part isnt saving with the
    template.
    I have a lot more questions but i think ive taken enough of
    your time. I am willing to pay someone to help me build this site,
    i cant afford a lot but i think my questions are pretty basic.
    Thanks

    There is a recent thread on the FW forum that may interest
    you - it's called
    "Firworks and HTML". The advice there applies in your case,
    too.
    One problem with your use of DW3 is this -
    the browser world has changed quite a bit in the almost 10
    years since DW3
    was released. Some (many?) of the behaviors in DW3 simply
    won't work any
    more because of these (significant) changes. Are you
    absolutely locked into
    using DW3?

  • TO ALL THOSE HAVING TROUBLE WITH ICHAT AND AIM ON MACBOOKS

    I've had a lot of trouble with AIM and iChat on my new Macbook, but I believe I've figured out the answers to all the problems I and others have encountered.
    Firstly, for those who's AIM continually crashes and displays the message "The application AIM unexpectedly shut down," my answer to your problem is too many sent messages. Watch the bar in the bottom left of your chat window, when it reaches red, your application will probably shut down.
    Secondly, for those experiencing difficulties with iChat, it's most likely a problem with communitcation between your wireless router and your computer. Try these steps:
    1. From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
    2. From the View, choose Sharing.
    3. Click the Firewall tab.
    4. Click New.
    5. From the Port Name pop-up menu, choose Other.
    If you have a Macbook, you'll probably have a TCP Port Number Bar and a UDP Port Number Bar. Try these steps:
    1. In the TCP Port Number(s) Bar, type: 5190, 5298
    2. In the UDP Port Number(s) Bar, type: 1024-5219, 5221, 5223-65535
    3. In the Description Bar, type: iChat AV
    4. Click OK
    5. Click Start above the window with your firewall settings, and make sure the box next to iChat AV is checked
    6. Relaunch iChat
    Good Luck! I hope this solves some of the problems that people have been encountering.

    Rob
    My Linksys is the WAG54G, which might be different from your WRT54G. Currently, UPnP is disabled and the Router ports are a bit of a mystery, because they're forwarded to an IP address that's outside of the current DHCP Address Range! Once I got it working, I was reluctant to change it even though it looked anomalous.
    The Firewall is on, with the iChat ports open that I listed in the previous post.
    My two regular buddies are my sons, who both use Trillian Pro on a Windows machine. Works pretty well despite occasional freezes or garbled sound.
    Hope you get sorted soon.

  • Having trouble with aspect ratio when going to iDVD

    I have a movie I am trying to put into iDvd6. I export to qtime , self-contained, with chapter markers. When it is played in idvd it is squeezed. The people are tall and thin. It is all shot, edited, transfered in 4:3 ratio. I have checked if all setting are to 4:3, I think they are. I have noted the other posts and they mostly deal with 16:9 issues. May it have some to do with the 720*480 to 640*480 conversion?
    I do not cherish the idea of using another converter.
    Seems I have done this before without this difficulty.
    What may be a solution?
    Using idvd6. FCE3.5

    I would honestly like to know why it would not work to just use the exported video from FCE into iDvD, there should be no aspect change in my case. The source in in 720x480. I also would have thought that FCE would be set up to transfer to dvd since much of what is done will need to be shown on that format?
    Anamorphicizer did not work for me!!
    myDvdedit I have not tried yet as looks to be too many steps to be practical.
    I suppose I will try QTpro.
    Any thoughts?

  • Having trouble reducing PDF file size on export

    Hi, I recently switched from Quark to InDesign and am having trouble figuring out how to reduce the size of a PDF on export.
    The file has about 200 pages with about 300 EPS files, which are approximately 30-40K each. The file uses fewer than 10 fonts, all from two font families (Bembo Std and Univers Std). When I created a similar file in Quark, the exported PDF is ~5MG. However, when I export the file I created in InDesign, the PDF is 10xs larger (~50MG). I tried exporting using the High Quality Print and Smallest File Size settings, but the result was the same. (I think that is because there are no JPG images to compress, just vector files which are already tiny.)
    If you have any suggestions for other settings to check, I would be grateful for the help. Overall, other than this issue, I have been extremely happy with InDesign.
    I am using CS5, v 7.0.4 on Mac OS X (10.6.8, Snow Leopard)
    Thank you,
    SH

    Quark to the best of my knowledge still goes the Postscript to PDF route - I'm not 100% sure on that.
    But here's why Export is differetn than how you print to Postscript and distill http://indesignsecrets.com/creating-pdf-export-or-use-distiller.php
    Distilling is very much frowned upon, and Export from InDesign is considered the best workflow.And the file size is larger, but it does add a lot of important information to the PDF, which makes it superior than distilling.
    But, there's a lot of document overhead in PDFs.
    The High Quality setting is only meant as a guide.  It's not meant to be used, in my opinion, out of the box.
    This explains why and how to counter it.

    The Help files do give some clues
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/6.0/WSa285fff53dea4f8617383751001ea8cb3f-70b3a.html
    This PDF guide is MUST http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/cs3/articles/cs3_printguide.html
    And besides that EPS files are considered legacy files by Adobe, I'm not sure how they're handled on PDF export. But you'd be better off saving to .ai from illustrator from now on.
    http://www.prepressure.com/library/file-formats/eps
    Instead of EPS from photoshop - save as TIFF or PSD if all Raster. If it's raster + vector text layers, shapes or masks then save to PDF.
