How do I set up pixels and resolution to print out my illustration?

I want to print my illustration which I'm going to paint on Photoshop 5 to the size of 8x10(inch) at Walgreens.com.  How do I set up the pixels and resolutions in Photoshop to start with?
There was a guideline at Walgreens Photo site, and it says "Minimum Recommended Image Resolution for 8x10 (inch) is 900x720 pixels."  But when I set up the width and height of pixels to 900x720 and resolution at 360 and then painted there, the print outcome was chopped off at top and bottom (I selected 8x10 print size.)
How can I set up the right way so I can print right?
Thank you!

OK, it says minimum requirements. Which makes sense, the quality would be horrible below 112 ppi.
8" x 200ppi = 1600px
10" x 200ppi = 2000px
900px / 8" = 112.5ppi
720px / 10" = 72ppi
Can you see in the above math why part of the picture would be chopped off.
Lets do it this way:
900px / 72ppi = 12.5"
720px / 72ppi = 10"
900px / 360ppi = 2.5"
720px / 360pp = 2"
10" X 360ppi = 3600px
8" X 360ppi = 2880px
If you specify ppi you must specify the physical dimensions (inches) Especially when the printed paper is a known variable. The pixel dimensions they mentioned was a guideline not a requirement. They only wanted to make sure the quality did not fall below that value.

  • How do I set a landscape mode for my print out with the CNIreport?

    I am using CNIReport and I was wondering how to set a landscape mode when printting?

    There is a property of the CNiReport object called "Orientation". You just set that property to Landscape using the enumeration provided in the CNiReport class. Here is an example with the full path to the enumeration value:
    m_report.SetOrientation(NI::CNiReport::NiReportsPa​geOrientation::NiReportsLandscape); //m_report is the CNiReport object

  • PRE 9 - Photos - recommendation for pixel and resolution setting

    I would like to integrate photos in between video segments, as well as on the actual video.  Before bringing these photos into PRE 9, what should I resize the photos to (pixels and resolution). I will be using Premiere Elements to resize the photos.   I'm burning a HD DVD at 1920x1080 pixels.
    Thank you.

    I agree with Neale. Scaling the images in PS/PSE, to just the pixel x pixel dimensions that you need will do two things for you: get you the best quality, and eliminate excess overhead, when pushing a bunch of unused pixels around. This ARTICLE will give you more. Note: it was started, before HD took over the market, so just read all of the 720 x 480 dimensions as 1920 x 1080 (in your case). I went on to add comments on HD, but some get confused, when they see the 720 x 480 in the beginning.
    Good luck,

  • How I can set up CLASSPATH and JAVA_HOME and change default JAVA_HOME

    Hi all!
    I am new in Solaris world.
    I have installed jdk1.3.1 for Solaris.
    But default java version is 1.2.1.
    How can I set up CLASSPATH and JAVA_HOME.
    How I can change default setting.
    I need to know a name of configuration file and where can I find it?
    default java

    See code sample 3 at http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/learning/tutorials/2/helloweb.html
    See also, the selection components row in the table under http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/learning/tutorials/2/helloweb.html
    It says
    One way to preselect items is to call setSelectedValue(Object[]) or setSelectedValue(Object) from the prerender() method. You pass in the return values of the items that you want preselected. Be sure to verify that getSelected() returns null before setting the default options, or you will overwrite the user's selections on a post-back.

  • How do I set up my MacBook Pro to print via wi-fi to my printer

    How do I set up my MacBook Pro to print via wi-fi to my printer?

    It is rather hard to know how to help you since, among other things, you didn't tell us what printer you own, what you've tried thus far, and what happened when you tried it. Your printer came with documentation and it may have even come with a disk that takes you through the process step by step. My first two suggestions are that you (1) make sure you know the password and SSID of your wireless router. You'll definitely need the password and you might need to know the router's ID name. (2) read and try to follow the instructions that came with your printer. In general, I've found that Canon and HP instructions and setup software are quite good while Brother wireless printers, at least in the past, have been rather flaky to set up (but work fine once that initial headache is dealt with).

    Hi Experts,

    Thanks.

    Agree with Billy, exception handling is not something that is done by passing parameters around.
    PL/SQL, like other languages, provides a suitable exception handling mechanism which, if used properly, works completely fine.  Avoid misuing PL/SQL by trying to implement some other way of handling them.

  • If you develop an image in lightroom then export to your hard drive after finishing, is it the right resolution to print out?

    Im learning how to use it, and i love using it, but if i develop then export the image which i have imported as a fine jpeg from my camera, will it be the right resolution to print out as a photograph or do i have to do anything else to the image. thanks

    When you are configuring your export options in the export dialogue, you have the option to specify the size in pixels. If you are going to print to a certain dimension, first of all I suggest that you crop the image to that aspect ratio. Then, export an image that will be big enough to support that print size. If the image has enough pixels the PPI setting is meaningless (actually, it's meaningless anyway as far as printing is concerned). For example, assume you want to order or print an image that is 16 and 20 inches at 240 PPI. Here are the steps I would follow.
    1. Crop the image using the 4 x 5 - 8 x 10 aspect ratio setting.
    2. In the export options specify in the image sizing options, choose long edge 4800 pixels (20"x240 PPI).
    3. You can change the PPI setting to 240 if you want, it isn't going to matter.
    4. Set any other printing options as required, then export the image.

    Check SAP Note 894444 - Tool for server-based printing on Windows (SAPSprint) for your requirement,
      Installation
    Before you install SAPSprint, delete SAPLPD manually. To do this, you normally need to completely delete the installation directory only. If you installed SAPLPD as a service using the srvany tool, you can remove the service by calling 'Instsrv SAPLPD remove'.
    You can download SAPSprint as a self-extracting executable file from SAP Service Marketplace:
    1. Entry by Application Group (on the left)
    2. SAP Frontend Components (on the right)
    3. SAPSPRINT (on the right)
    4. SAPSPRINT <Release> (on the right)
    5. SAPSPRINT <Release> (on the right)
    6. Win32 (on the right)
    Start the program. After you enter the installation path, the system prompts you to enter the TCP/IP port.
    Normally, the default setting of 515 is suitable for the port. You should only change this setting if the Windows TCP/IP print service is also running on the computer. The SAPSprint Windows service starts as soon as the installation is over.
    We recommend that you set up the following options for the service in the Windows Service Control Manager:
    The service should run under a domain user that has the relevant authorizations for the required printers. After the installation, the service runs under "Local system account". This can access locally-defined printers only. You can set the user in the Windows Service Control Manager, in the options of the SAPSprint service.
    If you want to delete SAPSprint, you can do so using the normal Windows uninstall tool.
    We recommend that you install the SAPSprint service on a separate computer and not together with a SAP system, especially if you use a large number of printers. All printers that SAPSprint uses must be installed on the SAPSprint computer. This applies particularly to released printers from other computers. These should be installed as a queue on the SAPSprint server.
    Also note further settings in accordance with Note 1069483.
    Settings
    You can display the call parameters available for SAPSprint by calling 'sapsprint -?' on the command line. The most important parameters are those that set options, especially log options for troubleshooting.
    You can set the log level to 5 by specifying 'sapsprint -oi LogLevel 5'. Immediately after installation, no log level is set up, which means that no log file is created. By setting the log level to 1, 5, or 9, you can ensure that more information is available in the directory that you specified during the installation. A file called sapsprint.dbg and a print job specific file with a variable name are generated. The second file is deleted after successful printing. It is only retained if the printout is recognized as incorrect. If you set the option 'sapsprint -oi KeepFile 1', then both this file and the print file are retained. This is primarily intended for troubleshooting by SAP Support.
    All options are case-sensitive. You can display the most important SAPSprint options by calling 'sapsprint -?'. All possible options are described in Note 85469. Normally, the options described there are not necessary - you should use them only in exceptional circumstances.
