Illustrator to Photoshop image size difference?

I need a logo at a certain pixel size.
I created the logo in Illustrator CC at the size needed.
When I import it to Photoshop so I can extrude the logo in 3d and then rotate it...the image size is larger than it was in Illustrator.

please try checking the dpi (resolution) on both programs.

  • Have your Illustrator and Photoshop images stopped saving as PDF? Help!

    I have CS5. For the past 2 weeks, when I save an Illustrator or Photoshop design as a PDF, it does not create a pdf of the image. It creates a PDF with this message:
    "This is an Adobe® Illustrator® File that was saved without PDF Content. To Place or open this in other applications, it should be re-saved from Adobe Illustrator with the "Create PDF Compatible File" option turned on. This option is in the Illustrator Native Format Options dialog box, which appears when saving an Adobe Illustrator  le using the Save As command."
    I CANNOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO THIS! HELP! The message does not describe any of my CS5 message boxes.
    Thanks for any solutions.

  • Question on Photoshop Image Size Zoom & Crop

    Hello Everyone...
    I was wondering if anyone could help me out on a few questions w/ Image Size Zoom & Crop
    I use to work at a studio that had their own small software for editing photos. It was setup so you take an image RAW and you could CROP by zooming. So I could take the image and SCROLL to ZOOM in and it cropped away the rest without actually pressing crop. Then you pick what sizes you want, 1 8x10, 2 5x7 and sheet of wallets and WALLLLLLA it prints them out on 3 sheets of paper.
    My questions are:
    Is there anyway to crop by zooming?
    Is there anyway to keep the original size after cropping?  Example most of my pics are 12M when I crop they go down to 2 or 3. Why? If I have a picture of 4 people and I want to crop to one persons face but keep the original image size why won't it do that without resizing??
    It says that to get the best print quality it should be viewed at resolution 300 instead of 72? is that true? and why?
    Is there a way to keep the quality at its best and then just select how many and what size I want to have print out? example of the 3 sizes listed above??
    I hope my questions make a little sense.
    Thanks for your help in advance

  • Photoshop image size vs Bridge

    A very basic question that I've not been able to find the answer to. My Raw images come up in Bridge at around 20-25 MB, 16 bit. When I open them in Photoshop they all seem to have identical Pixel sizes at 120.3 M and 5616 x 3744 pixels (ie total 21 MPixels) even when my images in Bridge are all slightly different sizes depending on content. What exactly is the 120.3 M if it isn't Bytes or Pixels and why is it constant for a particular camera? It obviously relates to bits and bytes because it goes down to 60.2 for 8 bit images. When I worked with jpegs I thought the fact that the Photoshop file size was larger was related to the compression of the closed file, but that's clearly not the case with CR2 files. Please help - I really want to understand this!

    When sending pictures to libraries it is the flattened uncompressed size they want.
    Documents can be altered to the required size using a script IE:-
    var SizeOfFile = prompt("Please Enter Size In Megabytes",48)
    if (SizeOfFile > 0) resizeToMB( SizeOfFile );
    function resizeToMB( size_in_MB ) {
      var current_units = preferences.rulerUnits;
      preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
      var width_pixels = activeDocument.width;
      var height_pixels = activeDocument.height;
      var channel_count = activeDocument.channels.length;
      var final_size = ( 1024 * 1024 * size_in_MB ) / channel_count;
      var image_bytes = width_pixels * height_pixels;
      var image_scale = Math.sqrt( final_size/ image_bytes );
      var final_width = width_pixels * image_scale;
      var final_height = height_pixels * image_scale;
      var final_dpi = activeDocument.resolution;
      if ( image_scale > 1 ) {
        activeDocument.resizeImage( final_width, final_height, final_dpi, ResampleMethod.BICUBICSMOOTHER );
    } else {
        activeDocument.resizeImage( final_width, final_height, final_dpi, ResampleMethod.BICUBICSHARPER );
      preferences.rulerUnits = current_units;

  • Photoshop image size for Premiere Pro CS4 project.

    Bless me folks, for I have sinned, it has been a few years since my last video project and it was done using Premiere 6.  I now have CS4 Production Premium.  In Premiere 6, when I wanted to bring images into the timeline i would create them in photoshop and save them as 720 x 540 bmp files.
    My question is, in Premiere CS4, what size should I make my photoshop files?  I want the final movie to take up most of a wide screen hdtv with a minimal amount of bars at the top and bottom.  I want my images to appear clearly and the text on the images to appear clearly on screen.  I will be creating a dvd and or blu ray, whichever works, and I may eventually want to output the movie for the web as well.
    So ... what new width and height and file type should I use for my photoshop files?  They all need to be the same size because sometimes I use several consecutive photoshop files to show movement on screen because I have not learned how to use after effects yet.
    Any help appreciated.

    Thanks for the info Dennis.  The reason that the size matters to me is that I want a clear quality picture on the hdtv screen.  And with my primitive jibjab-like moving picture technology, I need each image to be the same size so that things move around the screen exactly where I want.  I know that if I start off with a small image size it will look terrible onscreen, so your 1920 x 1080 suggestion is probably what I am looking for.
    I think i used the bmp format in Premiere 6 for performance reasons, but it sounds like maybe performance using psd files has improved with cs4.
    I appreciate the jump-start.

  • Image size difference making PDF's in Bridge

    Making PDF's in Bridge on a Mac.  The image size I am using is 199 x 300 pixels (5.3 x 8 cm) and when I add a horizontal image to the output preview box, the images retain that size, however, when I add the vertical images to the preview box, although they still show as the same pixels, they display and print at 3.5 x 5.3 cm, much smaller.  Need help, please.

    however, all the prints need to be the same orientation.  Both vertical and horizontal prints appear on the same page.
    CS6 has also brought back the old Contact sheet script but I don't think this will do it either. Both PDF output and Contact sheet script are meant mainly for contact sheet use. And both have the boundary box rules as it seems, maybe you should play more with dimensions and rows/columns but I doubt this will give you the result. In older versions there was picture package which maybe was more what you needed?
    Don't know why you need them to be the same size exactly? However as said, mainly for contact sheet use and not a sophisticated print module (a wish from many users)

  • Image size differences in libraries

    I just upgraded to iphoto 6.0.6 Now when I am looking at my pictures some are full screen and some are about the size of a playing card or letter envelope. Under general preferences I have selected "using full screen". This was not problem prior to the upgrade. Any ideas what has happened and how I can get the smaller images to appear full screen again?

    Most images sent though email are jpgs, and are compressed files to save space.  once you open the file, it is no longer compressed and PS shows how big the document is.  Once you save it as a jpg, again, it will show the small file size.

  • Adobe recently downgraded the "Image Size" function in Photoshop.  How do I get back to the old utility in which I could directly input the image dimensions in pixels?

    How do I undo the damage Adobe did to the Photoshop Image Size function?

    No, it's not downgraded.
    You can still enter the dimensions in pixels with the current dialog.  Just check [ ] Resample and change the units to Pixels before entering the number.  Voila.
    The difference in the layout just takes a little getting used to, after which it becomes very natural to use.  To me it seems more logical now than one in the old versions of Photoshop, and of course the new Preserve Details (enlargement) resampling setting is WELL worth having.

  • Pasting from Illustrator to Photoshop is a frustrating experience

    If you paste something from Illustrator to Photoshop, its size won't be at 100%. Why the heck? And why is the "Keep aspect ratio" in Photoshop turned off by default? I have to click that every single time when pasting from Illustrator.
    And why would Photoshop not start ignoring crap outside a mask. I mask stuff in Illustrator for a reason. I want the bounding box to be the mask, not the extent of its contents.
    How hard could it be to finally fix this? How many more versions with more useless new features to be shoved down our throats?

    Hello. Check this settings:
    Photoshop
    Preferences > Units and Rulers > Screen Resolutions: 72 pixels/Inch, Point/Pica Size: PostScript;
    Image > Image size > Resolution: 72 pixels/Inch;
    Illustrator
    File > Document Setup > Preset > Custom > Line Art and Text Resolution: 72ppi, Gradient and Mesh Resolution: 72ppi;
    Effect > Document Raster Effect Settings > Resolution: 72ppi;

  • Tiff file image size discrepancy

    Hi All, I've created a mono, bitmapped image approx 400px square.
    Then saved the file.
    If I go to 'get info' (I'm on an Apple Mac), it says the file size is 97k.
    If I open the file in P'shop (CS5.5) and go to 'Image Size', it says the file is 19.2k.
    Anyone know why I get two different files sizes?
    Many thanks, RP

    I'm sure that the TIFF file and Photoshop "Image Size" are both 19 KB by coincidence. The "Image Size" is the number of bytes consumed by the uncompressed pixel data. A TIFF file has to contain a header, so the image data in the file will be compressed then the file header will be bringing the file's total size to 19 KB.
    Photoshop embeds metadata in TIFF that your client most likely does not need. Use your Mac's Preview app to reduce the size of TIFF:
    In Photoshop, copy the image to the clipboard.
    In Preview, do "File > New from Clipboard" followed by Save with format TIFF and compression enabled.
    (Do not open Photoshop-saved TIFF with Preview and then re-save, because the unnecessary info will be maintained. Use the clipboard.)

  • Pixels and document size differences in Illustrator compared to Photoshop

    Why is the pixel ratio of a project in illustrator different than that of the same pixel ratio of a project in Photoshop?  Example:  A project can in Illustrator can have an artboard of 950px X 950px and be 12in and in Photoshop that same pixel ratio will be 4 3/4in.

    The rulers in Illustrator are always with fixed ratio of 1 inch = 72 pixels (72 ppi), you can check this by right clicking on the ruler and choosing inches or pixels and you will see that 950 px will be 13.9 inches and not 12 inches as you stated.
    The ratio of the rulers in Photoshop depends on the ppi resolution of the image set by the user in the Image Size dialog box. If choose Image > Image size, and set the Resolution to 72 pixels/inch (ppi) then the ratio of the rulers in Photoshop will match Illustrator. If you set it to something else they will not, in your case with an image with sides of 4.75 inches in Photoshop the Resolution will be 200 ppi in order to contain 950 pixels per side.
    When you save an image from Photoshop that contains metadata it has information about the size of the document in inches and pixels. Illustrator will place such images with the size of the inches not the pixels as indicated on the Illustrator rulers, internally however the image will contain all the pixels as indicated next to the PPI on the Control bar under the main menu when image is selected. These internal (actual) image pixels will be used when printing and when zooming on screen to render the image. Also if you copy from Photoshop and paste in Illustrator, it also will paste with the size of the inches and not the pixels (at least this is how it works with CS5 on Windows)
    If the placed image is without metadata Illustrator will always place it assuming 72 px = 1 inch (72 ppi). You can check that if in Photoshop save an image using Save for Web and Devices and choose None for Metadata.

  • ILLUSTRATOR/PHOTOSHOP onscreen image sizes differ.

    Why does an image appear larger in Photoshop cs3 than in Illustrator cs3.
    The document has the same resolution and is at the same magnification in both programs

    This issue is driving me crazy! Especially because I can't reproduce the results.
    If you copy and paste as a smart object from Illustrator into Photoshop, edit, and bring it back into Illustrator, then the pasted/placed smart object is usually greatly scaled down. It is like the two apps share different world space. There is no problem if you scale the placed image up, but you have to determine the appropriate multiplier. 2.5 has worked for me before. Of course, the resolution stays intact, you aren't actually changing the raster image at this point, just its size relative to the vector images.
    I think that's how it can be helped.
    Does anyone have a better workflow suggestion for adding raster effects to vector shapes and embedding into .ai files?

  • Illustrator to Photoshop to DVDSP. Image cropped?

    I have created graphics for a DVDSP menu in Illustrator. I think I need to export to Photoshop to divide into layers for different button states and then import into DVDSP. When I export a 720 x 480 image from Illustrator to Photoshop it is cropped, in some cases quite severely, down to almost the outside edges of the graphic elements in the image. Could anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong and if what I am doing is really necessary to get the file into DVDSP for use as a menu. I'm quite new to this and may be misunderstanding the manual
    TIA

    Michael:
    I select the objects in Illustrator, Copy them and Paste in PSD canvas . . . nothing special! But you can learn something about graphic files dimensions and solve the issues. These instructions are straight from DVDSP User Manual Chapter 2 Square Pixels in Graphics:
    ==============================================
    Graphics programs use square pixels. If you set the dimensions of a graphic to 720 x 480 pixels (the NTSC frame size), you will notice that the drawing area of the graphic in the graphics program is not a 4:3 aspect ratio (it is a bit short). If you set a graphic to PAL dimensions (720 x 576 pixels), the drawing area you see in your graphics program is taller than 4:3.
    Anything you put in the graphic will be distorted (either vertically stretched or
    compressed, depending on your video standard) when viewed on a video monitor. If you draw a square, it will look like a rectangle. In some cases, the distortion is not great enough to worry about, but in most cases you should build your graphics with the distortion in mind.
    To compensate for pixel differences between graphics and video, you need to build the graphics at one size, and then rescale them to the appropriate video dimensions, ...
    ==============================================
    Working in Illustrator or Photoshop, you must start with a rectangle size of 720x534 and do all your design work in such dimension. Finally resize your file to 720x480 and import that resized file into DVDSP. Your graphics will look fine !!
    If you prefer make your design in Illustrator, start creating a rectangle of 720x534. Select it and go to menu Object > Crope Area > Make. Make your design inside that area and finally make Export > Photoshop 72 dpi.
    Open that file in Photoshop and do the resize.
    When you became confortable with all these programs you'll find out your best workflow.
    Hope it helps !

  • PDF sizes in Illustrator and Photoshop?

    Can someone explain to me about saving as pdfs in Illustrator and Photoshop?
    For a long time, this is what I end up doing.
    1) save my Illustrator AI file  (example 18Mb)
    2) save it to pdf to send via email. File always ends up being as big as the AI file.
    3) open the pdf in Photoshop, flatten image, then save it from PS to pdf again.
    Then, the file is a manageable size to go out. (around 3Mb)
    What step am I missing to avoid PS and get a small pdf from Illustrator?
    Thanks.

    Mathias,
    It is true that Save a copy is safer, but it changes the name to include copy, at least in 10.
    imacken,
    When you have Acrobat, it should be possible to use its printer (driver). I believe it is called Adobe PDF or PDF Printer in newer versions, and it should have settings to meet different demands.
    By the way, I was thinking of the second of the two Johns that have replies to the Forum Comments forum thread, John Cornicello who often posts under the Adobe Admin name; the first John is very helpful and vigilant, too. I had never seen the thread he referred to until I saw his link because it was hidden in another forum.
