Indesign and Photoshop?HELP NEEDED NOW!!!

How do I make a copied photoshoped picture bigger without distorting features in indesign? Please help I have  this project due in a couple days and am starting and don't know much about indesign!

Anytime you enlarge a bitmap bigger than 100% of its pixel dimensions there will be pixelation. It is only as good as it will get at 100% of its original size.
When you place an image directly on a page its initial placement is at 100%. The scale percentage has nothing to do with pixel dimensions, but rather the image's saved inch dimensions.
So these 3 images are all at 100%, have the same pixel dimension (1200x750), but have been saved at different pixels per inch 72, 254, 500. The 500ppi image could be scaled to 160% and still have an effective resolution of over 300, and the 72ppi image has a scale of 100%, but not enough resolution for most print applications.

  • Server issues with Indesign and Photoshop

    Hi,
    We have recently moved to a Mac OS server for our company, but ever since doing so have started to have problems with our files corrupting.  We have since been advised by our IT contractor that Indesign and Photoshop files are now so sophisticated, with the way they access and use their database that it is best not to work on them from a server, as there are too many things that could cause problems with their database in a server situation.
    When I heard this, I thought 'surely not' as I know most companies work from a server and I couldn't imagine Indesign and Photoshop wouldn't be robust enough to manage the complexities of a server situation.
    Can anyone tell me of similar experiences, or is it more an issue we need to look at with the server itself?
    Thank you so much for your help, it is greatly appreicated.
    Lydia

    People work directly from the server all the time, and sooner or later experience file corruption. It isn't so much that the file is stored remotely as the potential for curruption due to network traffic is very high, particularly if you are making a large number of edits which must constantly be written to the file.
    The recommended workflow is to copy the files you need to the local workstation, edit, then copy back to the server.

  • Have subscription to current versions of indesign and photoshop, lost a laptop, need older versions

    A couple of weeks back, I purchased subscriptions to Indesign and Photoshop, to use on a cutting edge mac laptop.
    Then I lost the laptop. I have a police report if you'd like to see it.
    Now I'm back running my older mac, with os x 10.5.8 on it. I've got a 10.6 snow leopard disc on the way.
    I'd like to be able to download older versions of Indesign and Photoshop.
    Even if they're 30-day trials, they'd be helpful, as I've got a project I'm working on I'd like to finish.
    Thanks!
    - Johnny

    You won't get a call from an Adobe employee unless you call them first, and probably not then (the call-back track record is pretty poor). Nobody who is participating in this thread so far works for Adobe, by the way. We're just volunteer users doing our best to help others like you. We do know the current state of licensing and program availability, however, and the information you are getting is correct. Adobe has a price structure, including a few incentives for users of previous versions which don't happen to help you unless you upgrade your OS so you can run the CC subscription versions, and they are not going to change the pricing to make you, or me, or anyone else happy.
    I'm sure you can probably find a version of CS3 for sale on the aftermarket, but be very careful. Most of the early version offers are either counterfeit or cannot be registered because they are not eligible for transfer being either education versions or part of the original owner's upgrade chain.

  • I need indesign and Photoshop for my final year of university

    I need indesign and Photoshop for my final year of university and possible after when i have graduated. Are there are any monthly pay plans available instead of the upfront payment of hundreds of pounds as i simply cannot afford that as a student.
    Any help would be great thank you , as i am a little confused with all of the plans and options online.
    I want to buy photoshop and indesign so that they will permanently be on my laptop not only for a period of time.

    Creative Suite 6
    Beyond that there is no way to selectively just get ID and PS for student pricing, but you could of course get them on separate commercial single-app plans. Either way, it's a catch 22...

  • Have Creative Cloud - Cannot get off the trial versions of InDesign and Photoshop

    Windows 8
    64-bit operating system, x64-bit based processor
    Downloaded and installed trial version of InDesign CS6 (three days left on trial)
    Purchased Creative Cloud two days ago
    Downloaded and installed Photoshop CS6 (loads as a trial version)
    When clicking on Registration number, get error message “not connected to Internet”
    Live chat instructed to uninstall both InDesign and Photoshop and download again.
    Cancelled Cloud
    Next day phone rep spent ½ hour trying to get it to work. Said it would all work and helped me re-purchase Cloud – received email confirmation.
    Phone rep passed me on to someone who was supposed to give me a registration number. Spent another ½ hour doing the exact same thing. Was told there are no registration numbers in Cloud. Wanted to pass me off to another support department – I declined.
    Received email today:
    “Your Creative Cloud membership will be transitioned to a Free membership at the end of the next billing period. This means you will lose access to many of the apps and services included with a Paid Creative Cloud membership.
    In addition, since Free membership offers only 2GB of storage, you may need to remove files to get your cloud storage down to 2GB (or to purchase additional storage separately if you choose). If you leave more than 2GB of files on Creative Cloud for more than 90 days, you may lose access to some or all of your files. If you decide you want to return to a Paid membership, update your payment information and desired plan on the account management page.
    If you need help or have any questions, contact Customer Support.
    Thanks and enjoy,
    The Adobe Creative Cloud Team”
    Help!!!!!!!!!!! I can’t take this any longer. I need to get both InDesign and Photoshop off of the trial versions. Adobe Applications Manager doesn’t recognize the Internet connection even though I’m on the Internet. What is going on?

    It's working now! Someone, somewhere, read my post. Whoever you are - THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Why won't Illustrator CS6 open in OSX 10.9 while Indesign and Photoshop will?

    I just purchase an iMac with OSX 10.9.4 and haven't installed Yosemite fearing software incompatibility with my existing CS6 Design and Web premium bundle. Acrobat, Indesign and Photoshop all open up and operate fine but Illustrator will not open. I have little other 3rd party ssoftware installed so far, only Billings and Olympus software. Any ideas? Don't want the $50 per month solution either. You know what that is.
    Thanks.

    Solution!!! I didn't notice an error message beneath the numerous open windows on my desktop. It said, "you need to install Java (something-something) in order to use Illustrator, would you like to install it?" Obviously, I did and the moment the download and installation was complete, Illustrator opened itself, probably as a leftover command.
    Hope that helps someone.

  • My Indesign and Photoshop CS6 are telling me not enough memory

    I have the new iMac with a 3.11 TB fusion hard-drive and 16 G of memory. My Indesign and Photoshop CS6 are giving me low memory warnings and are very sluggish. According to everything I have found there should be no reason for this. So far it is slower then my old mac pro which I used CS3 on.  I realize that the new CS is a RAM hog but what I have should be more then enough to build a half page ad with 22 placed photos or a game-board which is mostly vector art without it acting up. Has anyone else had this issue. Is there a way to allocate more memory to these programs?

    You know Mr. Mylenium, the more I think about the more I don't want you to explain yourself unless you can be helpful. The reason I try to avoid using these forums is precisely because of answers like yours. Completely snide and unhelpful. I have been doing graphic design for 14 years now and have always used macs. One of my frustrations is that they are not as easy to get into as they used to be. That being said, I am a designer. I think with the creative side of my brain not the technical. If you cannot be helpful then please don't answer. I have no time for that kind of stuff.
    One more thing... just in case it helps you give an actual answer (yes my snidish frustrated side is definitely coming out right now)... the programs did not start out slow. I've had this since January and last month is when it started. Because of my many years of experience I am thinking that it probably has to do with some incompatible upgrade.

  • Adobe Indesign and Photoshop CS3 Freezing after trying to save file

    Hi
    I was using both Indesign and Photoshop yesterday with no trouble. Out the blue whenever I tried to either save a file or generally use any of the functionality within the File menu the dialogue box quickly appears then fades and the software freezes. Its doing this in both Indesign and Photoshop.
    The IT department logged on using their administrator info and both packages appear to work fine it just seems to be once I log in using my user account.  We have tried reseting preferences etc.
    Any help or advice would be welcomed.
    Thanks

    You have a stored invalid folder reference and since it can't be restored, the apsp crash on file dialogs. Have your IT department sift through the registry and clean out the relevant MRU sections.

  • I have cs4 product, and want buy only adobe pro, illustrator and photoshop, help me please

    for me what i have to do.
    i have cs4, but only need adobe pro, illustrator and photoshop.
    help me
    for best choice
    thanks
    paulo pedro

    As far as acquiring news versions goes, the only benefit you will get from owning CS4 is that you can get a Creative Cloud subscription at a special rate for the first year.  https://creative.adobe.com/#plans
    Otherwise, since CS4 is not in the upgrade path for CS6 products, you can purchase CS6 applications at full price.

  • InDesign and Photoshop cause browser to open, multiple tabs appear

    I wasn't sure what to use as a header for this, but I'll try to explain.
    We use InDesign and Photoshop CS4 in my department daily. One of the people using PS and one using ID are having this same thing happen. They'll be using the applications and, all of a sudden, their browser will open and the main "help" page will open for whichever application they're using. Then very quickly, one tab after another will open, all being the main "help" page again. It will keep opening tabs until they go to the Task Manager and stop the process. The tabs open one after another very quickly (I said that already, didn't I?).
    We're using Windows XP Pro, Service Pack 3 (I'm a Mac guy, sorry if my descriptions aren't correct), and CS4 Design Premium.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Lloyd

    Well, that's what you get if you whack the F1 key over and over again...  Troubleshooting stuff like this is extremely annoying over in Windows-land, mostly because there are so many places where this bizarro behavior could be introduced. Perhaps these two people have the same keyboard-management software installed? And no one else in the office does?
    It's displaying malware-like behavior, because that was one of the old Javascript tricks in the early days of Windows malware. But for some reason I suspect that it's not actually malware - because only Adobe apps are displaying this behavior, and because you'd want to direct your infectees to banner ads or porn sites or phisherman imitations of Facebook for harvesting passwords or something along those lines, if it was actually malware at work here.

  • Can anyone tell me if you can back save from CS6 to CS5 Illustrator, Indesign and Photoshop OK?

    Can anyone tell me if you can back save from CS6 to CS5 Illustrator, Indesign and Photoshop OK? Want to upgrade to CS6 but must I must still remain compatible with work. They are using CS5.

    To clarify your answer for Illustrator.  The option is not in the "Save As" dialog box.
    The correct answer is
    Open you CS6 Illustrator file.
    File>Save As 
    The Save As dialog box opens
    Type your file name (DIFFERENT THAN ORIGINAL PLEASE!) and the Save as Type is still going to be Adobe Illustrator (*.AI)   **This is where the above instructions threw me, as the Save as type drop down does not list anything about versions to save fo)
    Click Save
    Once you click Save, the Illustrator Options dialog box will come up.  The first option is titled Version and has a drop down menu.  Select the version of illustrator you want to save your file as here, then click ok.
    Your done.
    I strongly suggest you give this file a different name than your original CS6 Illustrator version as you may lose some parts of your design in the conversion.
    Hope this helps.  Enjoy!

  • New laptop for Indesign and Photoshop CC

    Thinking this new work system is a little weak for the task of full time indesign and Photoshop CC use (with outlook and office programs running also), but interested in recommendations before downloading and getting all set up. Working on up to 80 page indesign files linking to hundreds of high resolution PSD images.
    I-5-4200m
    4.0 ram
    120 hd
    Intel hd graphics 4600
    CC  will be all new for me, but feeling with the above I am starting undergunned? If so, please recommend improvements and or links to a better laptop setup (lenovo)
    Thanks in advance....

    With regards to configuration, if you don't have more than 4GB of memory and if you are running Windows, you cannot reasonably run the 64-bit version of Windows and you need the 64-bit version of Windows to run the 64-bit version of InDesign and Photoshop.
    For any type of graphic arts work these days, you should not consider any system with less than 8GB of memory.
    In terms of compatibility, the current version of InDesign has had no problem opening any of the InDesign documents that I have dating back to InDesign 1.0 (and even beta test versions of same)! For long lines of text, you may see some reflow from very early InDesign versions or slightly different hyphenation, but document integrity should be there.
    There should be no compatibility problems at all with the latest version of Photoshop opening older PSD files.

  • Can Adobe Illustrator match inner bevel effects of inDesign and Photoshop?

    Can Adobe Illustrator match or simulate inner bevel effects of inDesign and Photoshop? If it is possible, please explain how to get a soft inner bevel on type or vector shape in Adobe Illustrator CS4 that can be set up to be identical (or, at least, very close) to the layer styles of PS and the type/fill/stroke/object effects of ID. So far, I have not been able to achieve the same look with 3D extrude and bevel in AI. I want a solid red object with a soft 16 point white-tint highlight and a soft 16 point black tint shadow. If it is not something that is possible with 3D extrude and bevel settings, this something that must or could be done manually with the gradient mesh tool?

    I’ve vectorized everything except the 3D red portion.

  • Can't delete folder until I quit InDesign and Photoshop

    I'm sure this has been covered but I can't find it anywhere.
    I'm cleaning house; working in Windows Explorer on Windows 7. I look at files in InDesign CS5 and Photoshop CS5, close the files delete them but I can't delete the folder that contained them until I quit InDesign and Photoshop. I remember this from previous versions also.
    Is there a workaround?
    Thanks, Sidney

    I have that annoying problem too, have a look at this thread.  I haven't tried that fix because the trial doesn't work on deleting files, only copying and the website is terrible.

  • How to uninstall CS6 Indesign and Photoshop silently?

    Hello,
    We have a situation where we have to uninstall CS6 Indesign and Photoshop from dozens of computers. I would like to do this silently using Psexec or SCCM. So far I haven't been able to figure out how to do that. We have installed both using a msi file and I have tried command "msiexec.exe /uninstall C:\Temp\Build\indesigncs6.msi /quiet" for indesign but nothing happens. When taking the quiet command away I get an error saying "This feature can only be used to programs that have been installed". The error message has been roughly translated from Finnish so it probalbly isn't excatly the same in English versions. Obviously this computer has Indesign installed.
    I have also tried the PDApp.exe, but haven't been able to run that silently either. Command I've tried is C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\core\PDApp.exe --appletID="DWA_UI" --appletVersion="2.0" --mode="silent" --mediaSignature="{CFB770D7-8D43-1014-922B-CC2715FADE3F}"
    Is there a person who has successfully been able to silently uninstall Adobe Indesign or Photoshop CS6? If there is can you please tell us how to do it?

    Thanks for answering. I tried to contact Adobe Support, but could not find out how to do that. I went to the Adobe Contact site and filled in what kind of problem I have and it just suggests that I ask from the community. If I try anything else it just leads me to the beginning.
    You are absolutely correct that the CC Cleaner Tool is the way to do this. I have been able to generate cleanup.xml and used it. The problem is that the tool only finds Adobe Photoshop CS6 Driver version 13.0, Adobe Indesign CS6 Application Base Files version 8.0 and Adboe ID Credentials. It deletes these very efficiently and quietly. Problem is that it does not uninstall the whole program. For example all Adobe programs are still in the Start Menu and the Indesign folder is still found where it used to be. Have you any experience on this kind of problem?
    Thank you in advance
    Regards
    Karri
