How do I convert a digital photo to a low resolution 5-color pixelated image?

I want to do a lego project with my kid and would like to convert a picture of him into 5-color (or six-color) pixel form so that I can use that as a map to make a portrait that would look great from far away.  Thanks from a neophyte.

After you have resized appropriately with Resample Image (very important) checked, done the Indexed color and then the Mosaic Filter, you can then Preview Print, which should use the chosen printer's driver to do just that - preview the print. If all meets with your approval, then the resultant print should be good, provided that you have an ICC Profile for that printer loaded, that matches your PS workflow. This will have more to do with color and density, than the printer ignoring aspects of the image. If not, then something is likely amiss with the printer's driver.
Now, some printers seem to like other formats, better than .PSD's. Some have better luck with Flattened TIFF's, and some with .PDF's. This will likely depend on your printer and on its driver. You might want to Save_As PDF (no need to be able to edit it later here), and try that. Same result?
Good luck,
Hunt

  • How do i convert a RAW photo to JPEG in elements 12??? Thanks for any help!

    How can i convert a RAW photo to JPEG using Elements 12??

    In general, you open and edit the RAW photo in Adobe Camera RAW, and then either
    click on Done and then in the Organizer, FIle->Export->As New File and select JPG
    click on Open and then in the Editor do a File->Save As and select JPG
    You would NOT want to convert an un-edited RAW to a JPG in general, as you would lose all the benefits of RAW (superior image quality) and while retaining all of the disadvantages of RAW (larger file size, extra steps needed, specialized software needed)

  • How can I convert imovie into photo's

    How can I convert imovie into photo's

    For iMovie 11, you will need to download a free tool called MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5. (Google it). This is a very handy tool to have if you make videos.
    In iMovie, select the clip that contains the frame that you want. Right-click on the clip and select Reveal in Finder.
    You should see the clip highlighted in the Finder. Drag this clip into MPEG Streamclip. Move the playhead to the frame you want. Then click FILE/EXPORT FRAME. You can choose JPEG, TIFF, or PNG.

  • Printing to Stylus Photo 2200 At High Resolution Causes Color Shift

    I recently upgraded to InDesign CS3, and I'm having color issues when printing to my Epson Stylus Photo 2200 using higher resolution settings.
    From the Print dialog box I click the Printer button and choose Print Settings from the pull down menu. For Media Type I choose Enhanced Matte Paper and set the Print Quality to Photo - 1440.
    When I print the file (a document I've printed successfully many times before) the grey process color in my logo come out burgundy, and the other colors are all off.
    If I don't adjust any of the Printer settings, the colors appear fine, but the quality is poor.
    How can I fix this issue?

    Sorry for being but I was just brought in to solve the same problem as Nobody Special and now searching forums! Both Apple Cinema monitor and Epson 2200 were calibrated with a Greytag MacBeth Eye1Photo.
    The problem is a color shift and a greater saturation of color. When the image was printed with the same system using InDesign and Photoshop CS2, it printed accurately. With CS3, the problem noted above developed.

  • Scary problem! Old photos suddenly dark, low resolution.

    Going through some old pictures I've just noticed that 3-4 sets from 4 years ago have become very dark and lower resolution.
    The weirdest part is that they are not complete "sets" -- that is, the darkness seems to in random groups of certain sets (i.e., the first 3-4 are okay, followed by 20 dark/low rez images, followed by 2-3 'normal' images).
    I tried zapping the PRAM, as I read that resolved a similar issue. And I repaired permissions.
    No dice.
    Any thoughts? What I'm afraid of is this happening to all my photos.
    Note that I upgraded from a 12" G4 to an iMac two years ago, and imported all those photos. I also upgraded to 10.6 about 8 months ago.
    But I just noticed this now -- not sure when it happened.
    HELP!

    Thanks much for the tips. I calibrated per your suggestion and killed the pref file -- still have several batches of very dark, low resolution photos that weren't that way before.
    Weird.

  • How do I do still digital photos on Adobe premier elements 10?

    How do I edit and organize still photos on adobe premier elements 10?

    You don't edit with Premiere Elements, it is for video processing. Post your question to the Photoshop Elements forum and they will help you out.
    You can access the Elements Organizer 10 from both Premiere and Photoshop Elements. To get your media into the EO10 use the File menu to access the options. You can also have EO10 monitor particular folders for new media, or you can just drag your media from the Windows Explorer into EO.

  • How do i convert a eml photo to a jpg

    I received an eml photo and forwarded it but receiver could not open it and requested I send it as a jpg file.

    I tried it on iphoto and got a windown that states in essence can't read the file..
    I think I'll give up on this problem...but why did my email app change the jpeg file I received
    to an EML and cause the problem???

  • How do i install canon digital photo professional 2.2 onto os 10.5.x?

    2.2 version seems to be made only for 10.4 or less, but how will I install the software on a computer I'm getting that is running 10.5.x? Can I use the 2.20 version software disc, install, and then upgrade. Or will the 10.5 machine reject this 2.2 version's disc? Yikes! I can't find any info from Canon..

    I believe that the 2.2 version was released before Leopard was released.Therefore, that's why it said 10.4 & lower. It's quite possible that it will work in Leopard. Install it & see if it works.
     Cheers, Tom

  • HT201302 How do I import my iCloud Photo Stream into Finder so I can edit images in Photoshop?

    I'm new to iCloud and my Photo Stream.  On my iPhone 6 I have 60-odd pictures from a vacation that I'd like to put on Facebook _AFTER_ editing them in Photoshop CS4.  Is there a easy way to copy the photo stream pictures to Finder so I can get started?  I don't see this option on my iPhone, and I definitely don't want to import them into iPhoto which is so limited in editing capabilities.
    Thanks in advance for any/all help.
    Mike

    Who shall be able to see your photos? If you use "My Photo Stream", only persons using your AppleID and iCloud account will be seeing the Photos. That is very restrictive. And the PhotoStream does not store your photos for a long time. It only pushes the photos to your other devices.
    You can use Shared Photo Streams. That are stored in the cloud and you can invite other iCloud users to view these streams. But they will need MacOS X Mt. Lion to see the stream.  iCloud: Using and troubleshooting Shared Photo Streams
    But if you publish a journal as a webpage to your iCloud homepage, the webpage will be stored in the cloud and you can invite persons to view the webpage. They do not need to sign up for a shared photo stream.
    To view your published web journal in a web browser you need to share a link, also to yourself on your windows laptop:
    To share a link to your published journal, tap Share Journal and do any of the following:
    Send a link in a message: Tap Message, add a recipient, and tap Send.
    Tweet a link: Tap Twitter and enter a tweet. Tap Send.
    Post a link to Facebook: Tap Facebook and tap Post.
    Send an email with a link: Tap Mail, add a recipient, and tap Send.
    Copy a link: Tap Copy and paste the link into another app.
    Sharing your journal and publishing to Photo Stream may take a long time. Your iPad will not upload to the Cloud, if the battery is low (less then 20%).

  • Emailing Photos Results In Lower Resolution

    My brother just emailed me a photo he took on the iPhone 3GS and it was showing as 600x800 and I knew something was off. Pulling the photo from his phone to my computer results in a larger 1200x1600 photo. How can we email the full size image to each other? Is there a setting or something I am missing?
    Thanks!

    There IS a way around it. When you click on a picture and choose "share" it emails it, resized, however if you click and hold on the picture you can choose "copy" which copies the original image unaltered.
    Paste that into an email to send the full resolution image. You can copy as many as you want I think up to 32 successfully into an email by using the icon in the lower left while looking at the entire album instead of the single picture.
    You must have OS 3.0 on your iphone to do this.
