Help: Resizing images for Printing with CS3

Hello All,
Thus far, I've done most of my printing with my Epson 3800 on paper below 8.5 x 11 which was no problem. Now I'd like to do some larger stuff like 13 x 19 and 17 x 25. Image size is 3504 x 2336 psd. @ 360ppi. (workflow is RAW to Adobe RGB 16-bit 8.2MP) I'd like to maintain the 360ppi resolution, but resize to say 12 x 18 or larger and then apply final sharpening.
My confusion is with the up-sizing steps themselves. I've heard it's best to increase image x% over target image size via Bicubic(?) and then to reduce x% to target size using Bicubic sharpener(?) or something to that effect. Can someone please walk me through the process so I can get the hang of it? Thank you!

Sounds like one of those tales from an older technology.
Just use the resampling method as recommended in the Image size dialog

How Do I Center an Image for Printing with Elements?

Elements 9 and 11: When I select "center" in the printing que the printed image is always shifted to the left of page center.
What am I doing wrong? New computer, new printer, and Elements shifts the image to the left!!
I downloaded the Elements 11 trial version to see if that would fix the issue but it does the same thing!

My original problem:
--> 3 elements in a panel, a title image
(JLabel topImage = new JLabel(new
w ImageIcon("WelcomeTitle.jpg"));), a button,
and a bottom image. I wanted the title image at the
top, the bottom image at the bottom, and the button
in the middle. I tried this with a BorderLayout, the
top image being Border.NORTH, the bottom Border.SOUTH
and the button Border.CENTER, however the button
completely filled its panel and was really ugly.
add the button to a JPanel and add the panel to CENTER.
Cheers

Upsizing Images For Print Via Aperture

Hello
What is Aperture like for upsizing an image for printing greater than 16x11"? I need to output an image for print 36x24". Has anyone done this and if so, what were the results like? Should it be done using other third party software(Photoshop)?
The image is full resolution from a 12MP camera.
Thanks

I print pretty big images (up to 60 inches by 36 inches - > 1gb) and I use Photozoom to upsize and then print in PS.
My workflow is:-
1. Import and basic wok in Ap
2. Specialist work in PS - save back to Ap
3. Export as TIF and upsize in Photozoom
4. Save big image outside Ap (smaller, origimal image - my negative - is still in Ap)
5. Open big image in PS - reduxe noise, sharpen etc amd print
6. Save back to HD or delete - I always have 'negative' in Ap
Hope it helps....

What software do you reccomend for resizing images for web ?

I am looking for some software to help resize images on my mac to post online eg 470x 707 at 72 dpi (something similar to Faststone for PC would be good ) >Any recomendations?

72 dpi doesn't mean anything in terms of video and 470 x 707 is a rather peculiar size, what is the source of the video and what exactly are you trying to achieve.

Suggestions for printing with CS4?

I had no problems printing with CS3 at school last year but they updated to CS4 and now my prints are pure magenta! I did all the same settings like photoshop manages color, printer profile, etc. and i can't figure out what the problem is. if anyone has any suggestions i would really appreciate it! Might it have something to do with color settings?
thanks, erica

Hi Erica,
Of course I don't know which printer you are using, but I've been using Epson 7600s for years and I also belong to the Epson Wide Format Group. Although I'm not using CS4 yet, I have noticed a number of printing issues concerning the newest version of PS. One thing I remember, and I believe this came from both Epson and Adobe, is that in CS4 you have to let the printer manage the colors, not Photoshop. Otherwise you will have double profiling and that can lead to disastrous results. I think it would be a good idea for you to join the Epson Wide Format Group and post this question there. I'm sure you'll get more results from those whose business is printing, and mostly from Photoshop. I'm including the URL for the group. It only takes minute to join and then you can post right away. Good luck Erica.

Do I need to resize images for Keynote?

Do I need to resize images for Keynote? I have images in a variety of sizes and wonder if there is a minumum or maximum size recommended.
Thank you!
B

All depends on what the end product is; a slide show on a laptop or projected 20 feet wide in a theatre. For best performance, images should be created to match the document size in; Inspector > Document > Slide size.
The slide size should as a minimum match the screen resolution of the Mac in;
system preferences > displays. The higher the number of pixels the better the quality.
However, many images are supplied that are much smaller than are required, resulting in them being enlaged beyond there best.

My iPad will not resize images for the wallpaper

My iPad will not resize images for the wallpaper

if you go in through the photos app and send your image to be wallpaper you'll have a bit more luck.
Also, go into the settings, accessibility and try turning off parallax motion.

CS3 - resizing artwork for printing

Hi,
I have designed a new label WAY to big. And now i need to resize it for a small sticker.
I initially set the document to 1100px x 500px but need to go down to 5cm x 3.6cm.
I have a different objects hanging outside the 1100 x 500 as i couldn't work out how to use the crop tool
The scale tool only lets me scale by percentage.. and anyway i think the items hanging outside will stuff up the scaling.
Any tips?
thanks in advance

cwuot,
As long as you have vector artwork only, you may resize both ways without limits.
1100/500 = 2.2, 500/3.6 ~ 1.39.
In other words you are changing to another proportion. You will have to decide one dimension.
In any case, there are multiple ways to resize artwork as desired, some to get to specific values or changes.
One is to select everything (relevant, you may copy the final version only to a new layer) and
set a value (including the unit) in the W or H box in the Transform palette, then Ctrl+Enter to retain proportions. That could be 5cm in the W box or 3.6 cm in the H box.
Or (if/once you have the same unit) you may multiply or divide by some number in the W or H box in the Transform palette, then Ctrl+Enter to retain proportions.

Trouble saving images for web in CS3

Hello All,
I am trying to make buttons, etc. in Illustrator CS3 then saving them for web stuff as either gif's or jpg's. Everything was working fine for a while - the images and text looked great. Mid project the images and text started becoming super pixilated. No matter what type of image I tried to save it as, or what quality they're set to they're very jagged, grainy and awful looking! I don't think I've changed any setting and wracked my brain and the forums, FAQ's, help for a solution to this. Just seems like it came out of nowhere!
Thanks in advance for any advice and councel!!

I am wondering why my advice was any worse than yours. I admit I mistakenly suggested Monitor RGB instead of Windows RGB but as far as I know sRGB is the default for most monitors. This would put them all pretty close. Am I missing something?
I would think that having someone set the images with icc profiles and then adjusting their own browser to correctly display such images would cause the exact same problem you say my solution does. It would give the image editor an impression of the image that nobody else is going to see. I don't know anyone that uses icc profiles for web work. In general I don't think you will find many people who have set their browsers to correctly view images that have these profiles. So it seems like someone that has will be thinking the images look great on their system but not on someone else's.
If someone may eventually repurpose these for print then worry about icc profiles for the printer. It seems like a huge waste of time for anything that is purely on screen.
I am not trying to battle with you over who is correct I just want to understand what your saying.

Custom resizing images when printing in Elements 11

Hi friends .... I could use some help ... When I was using an older Photoshop version ...I could select "print with preview" and there I could adjust the size and proportion of the image to the paper size - I would see the paper in a preview box and could adjust the image by sliding the box at the corner points and size the image any way I wanted ... and could see the actual preview of how the image could fit on the paper .... in Elements 11 - even if I do a PDF and print in Preview- there's no way I can see to do that ... I only see options for set sizes- even under the custom sizing menu ... I'm using exactly the same printer that I used with Photoshop - so I'm assuming this is a limitation with Elements ... I don't even see the option in Elements printing to change the image percentage as I've been used to with any other page setup before .... Please give any advice - this is making printing exactly what I want pure guesswork and is very difficult for me ...there must be something I'm missing when I print with Elements 11 .... thanks for any help ...
David

Oh yes it has Barbara. David is right. Have a look at Elements 5. I got that free and would still be using it if I hadn't had to upgraded to Windows 7. I've now had to buy Elements 11 because Elements 5 wouldn't load and Elements 11 does not have that fascility that David laments. I used that printing option almost exclusively for printing cards and I bitterly regret not having it now. I'm very disappointed with these printing options in Elements 11. The problem is that Photoshop eminates from the one country in 180 that seems manacled to its imperial measurements that the rest of the world has to keep wading through. I expect that to acquire my favourite printing fascility I shall have to get the full verson. I have seen it in screenshots, so I know that it is there. It's all very well for Barbara to say resize before entering the print window but this is just trial and error and takes forever. In the meantime I shall continue to spend ages working round this cumbersome resizing problem each time I print my cards.

Changing images for print version

Is there a way to change an image for a print version?
My background is dark blue and my image is white, however if
I print this nothing will show because its white on white.
I want to use a different image that is dark blue for the
print version so that you can see it.
Can this be done with CSS?

That'd be nice. But you misplaced a decimal in the amount. It
needs to
move right! 8)

Problem adjusting color then printing with CS3 on Epson R300

I am running on a Dell quad core system with 3MB of ram and Vista 32bit and CS3. I am unable to alter the color of the image that prints. For example, if I reduce the saturation all the way down to get a B&W and print I get a print that looks like the original unaltered color print. Even if I save the B&W print and reload it back into CS3 and print I get the original color print.
As best I can tell this problem started when I loaded CS3 on top of CS. I tried printing using CS and CaptureNX and have the same problem.
Anyone have any ideas about what's causing this?

Chris, sorry for some off-topic comments,
Al, I'm referring to
James King
Engineering color at Adobe,
chapter 15 in
Ph.Green, L.Macdonald (Editors)
Colour Engineering
John Wiley & Sons, 2002
1989/1990 Adobe designed the PostScript Level 2
color concept with CIE-based device independent-colors.
Apple's ColorSync system development was started 1991
and announced 1993.
The International Color Consortium ICC was started in
spring 1993.
From these facts it is obvious that Adobe's concept
came very early. There was no need to change it, but some
features were added later.
Dr King emphasizes the importance of handling black in
CMYK workflows. The ICC had overlooked this - profile
to profile conversions in CMYK destroy the original black
generation. There are other design concepts for ICC profiles
which are IMO rather doubtful: mainly the very complex
number and data format system and the definition of the
location of modules by byte offsets. Compared to these
structures, PostScript is simple and readable (ASCII).
All this lead me to the conclusion that PostScript color
management is probably not bad.
'Adobe' is not the same as 'PostScript':
I found, that host based Acrobat CMM for the OKI printer
C9600 lead to severe bugs for the black generation.
This is described here in chapter 1:
http://www.fho-emden.de/~hoffmann/oki-ps-28082005.pdf
Then I changed he strategy systematically: everything
printer based by PostScript. ICC profiles are downloaded
to the harddisk. Color Rendering Dictionaries (output)
and CSAs (input) are calculated in the printer.
If the printer is equipped with genuine Adobe PostScript 3
('level' no more used) then one can expect that it works
correctly. It is OK for Acrobat and PageMaker but not
for InDesign (tested for CS2 and Acrobat7).

Resizing images for idvd

Hello,
I've not yet tried to resize images yet . . . I've just opened idvd and bring the pics in. Most are in the 1.5 to 3.2 mg size. When burned to dvd and viewed on tv (4:3) they are passable. Maybe a little soft.
A post said, "Reformat your images to 100 dpi by the screen size (720x540 pixels for 4:3 TV aspect ratio or 854x480 pixels for 16:9 aspect ratio)."
Question: Is the 720 the width or height? So what about portrait shots? All my shots show 72 dpi in Photoshop. Are this suggesting that I increase to 100 dpi?
Thanks for help.

Resizing them probably won't do anything since iDVD resizes them for you. However I guess there is the change that when iDVD resizes them down to the proper TV screen size, it doesn't do as good a job compared to you doing it in Photoshop, so I guess worth the experiment (please report back your findings).
720 is the horizontal size, but you don't want to use that. You want to use 640. 640 square computer pixels are equal to 720 "rectangular pixels" on a TV. iDVD will do the conversion from 640 square pixels to 720 "rectangular pixels" for you. If you make it 720 on the computer, then iDVD will still convert it and distort your photo.
I put "rectangular pixels" in quotes because a normal TV is an analog device so there are not really "pixel" but an analog signal.
Ignore the DPI or PPI (dots per inch or pixels per inch) setting. That setting means absolutely nothing when displaying on a TV or on a computer monitor. It is a printing specification, so it doesn't matter what you set it as, it will look the same on the computer or the monitor (e.g. 640x480 at 72 dpi will look exactly the same as 640x480 at 100 dpi). All you care about are the absolute number of pixels (such as 640 by 480) in the photo.

HELP INSTALLING HP 3110 PRINTER WITH 2.0 COMPOSITE USB TO WINDOWS 8 NOTEBOOK WITH USB 3.0

Need help installing HP PhotoSmart 3110 All in One Printer with USB 2.0 composite. Errors with message can't work properly with USB 3.0 which is on my new Windows 8 notebook. Read forum support doc for installing device on Windows 8 and ran Printer Install Wizard. Goes thru extracting and errors "the system can't find the file specified".
HELP please. Have deadline on project.
Thank you!

Your V5-122p-0408 comes with only 1 USB 3 port, did you try both?
If the printer worked fine on another computer then the problem most likely in on the V5.
Are you running 8 or 8.1?
