JPG or PSD to PDF get horrible resolution degradation

Using Photoshop 9 / CS2 and Acrobat Pro 7, I make a nice cover page with
text and images at 300 dpi. Both the psd and jpg are very smooth.
I save to pdf, or print to pdf thru Acrobat driver and get CRUD, as if resolution is below 72dpi. Why? I have set "Adobe PDF" printer driver to max res, no compress.
Is there any other way of output to end up with GOOD pdf?

Actually, I have tried both "saving as PDF or printing to PDF" from PS-CS2.
I just did something that DID make good output.
Clicked JPG to open in file-manager's viewer, chose FILE/PRINT, chose Adobe-PDF driver, printed to PDF, seems full 300 dpi.
In PS-CS2, I had set all JPG to max-res and disabled down-sampling, still got those crud results. Using WordPerfect's publish to PDF got same crud results, again, supposedly without down-sampling.
I'd like to understand what's going on, but do now have usable PDF for ebook cover.

Why do I get horrible resolution using Benchtop Function Generator.vi

At 200 Hz, the resolution on my Oscilloscope is horrible, I am running a sine wave, but it looks more like a square wave. What can I do to improve this so that I get good resolution at 1000 Hz

Hi John!
The infos you provide are very scanty.
Please tell me, what Hardware and Software you use. Are you measuring a real word signal or a simulated (Software)?
If you are measuring a real world signal - what device do use to accomplish this?
Please be aware of sampling theorem!

Photoshop CS3 doesn't open jpg and psd anymore

I use PSCS3 for one year without any problem.And now, when trying to open jpg or psd files I get this message:
"cannot open photoshop.exe because DLBCGF.DLL is absent"
When I click away this message a few (10 ) times, the file does open...?
I searched for this file and copied it into system 32 and another time into photoshop itself without any result.
A desinstallation and reïnstallation of PSCS3 didn't help.
Raw files do open without any problem.
Any help is more then welcome !

To explain: DLLs are a collection of executable code bits, but not necessarily a single file contains all bits and pieces for a given operation. Whenever a program requests a certain function from one DLL, this may mean that in turn that function may go on the lookout for another sub-function it needs. So if e.g. in your situation you open up a file, it will call up a specific piece of the printer driver, probably looking for color profile information/ color metrics. These snippets then might call another segment of a DLL, which contains either a settings panel to make adjustments or switch to another color profile, settings for paper size and rasterization, ink status monitor and whatnot. If you will, you could imagine it as a family of parents, children, brothers and sisters and even remote cousins who on their own can achieve nothing, but when combining their wits and individual strengths can give you a certain functionality.

My hard drive died last week, and I needed to install a new one. Previously, I was able to save a .doc with text and inserted photo to .pdf and then to .jpg. Now I can get the .pdf but can't determine what to do to convert to .jpg. Does anyone know ?

Rather than do that, which means starting over from scratch, losing all your edits, organisation and so on, why not simply use iPhoto Library Manager to revert the Library to the older version? Easier, less destructive.
The instructions on that are here
If you really want to start over: you can access the Originals folder simply by going to your Pictures Folder and finding the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.

Adobe Printer Not Converting psd to pdf

I have a Photoshop CS4 Extended user who is attempting to print a psd file to her Adobe pdf printer using the following page set up settings:
Adobe PDF page size 22"x34",
print quality set to 4000dpi,
Truetype as "download as softfont".
The user gets as far as selecting the page setup settings in the print dialoge box and clicking okay to print but the "save as file location" dialoge never appears. However, she is able to save/print/convert from psd to pdf with the same settings except for the page size being 11x17.
User stated that this is a common work flow for her but started running into trouble late last week.
Troubleshooting Steps
All Adobe PS updates applied
Windows OS updates applied
Installed Adobe PDF Converter printer on a local port - With this printer, the file goes through all the usual steps and is able to execute the file conversion process even showing the progress bar but the file never appears in the selected location. Further troubleshooting steps included changing the save file to location settings from Adobe Prompt to a folder on the desktop but result was the same.
Hardware and Software Specs
Win 7 pro 64 bit
CS4 Extended
Adobe Acrobat XI Standard

It has EVERYTHING to do with the pixel dimensions of the image, so-many-pixels wide by so-many-pixels high.
The limit, already outlined by Mylenium, is 60,000 pixels in either of the two dimensions.
What he was suggesting—obviously—is to RESAMPLE the image. With the "Resample" box checked [ √ ], set the ppi to 300 ppi or less, and save that as a copy. That copy will print.
Changing the ppi alone without resampling the image is, of course, sheer nonsense.
As mylenium wrote:
What you see is perfectly logical. 4000 DPI seems slightly insane for any use case I can think of, especially at those sizes. You wouldn't need that resolution [even] to print a 100x100m mural…
That's 100 meters by 100 meters, or some 110 yards by 110 yards.
For a page size of 22"x34", you don't need more than 200 ppi, maybe less; but 300 ppi is doable.

How to get better resolution on graphical borders in Pages?

When using the «line effect» on a picture frame and choose a «image border», these borders a very pixelated and low resoltion when i.e. printing on a quality printer. Seems to be only screen resolution (100-150 dpi)? Is this a bug in Pages – how to get better resolution for these borders when exporting for example to PDF?

Here you see the issue. The Document's size is A6 landscape, means 14.8x10.5 cm, and it prints and shows really pixelated

Merge jpgs into a single pdf, but page dimensions? how to set...?

I have merged a number of jpgs into a single pdf but for some reason it ends up being a strange page dimension - 23.6 in x 30.6 in. The jpgs were saved at a resolution so that they might print an 8.5 x 11 at 200 dpi. Is there a place you can set these dimensions? I know it is quite easy to still make it print on a letter sized sheet but the ppl who I am sending the dosument to might be thrown off by the dimensions.

I had a difficult time finding the answer on the web. Finally found a forum with my answer to share with others facing the same issue. Last entry worked for me.

I exported jpg, tif, psd, and dng files from Lightroom but Aperture does not see them except for dng during import

How do I import jpg, tif, psd files exported from Lightroom 3 into Aperture 3.2? I had no problems before...seems like since I installed Lion, they do not show up in the import folder.

How are you trying to import them (again) ? If you're importing through the Import Window and have RAW only set then that's all you'll get.
Also what's an Import Folder? Not sure how Lightroom fits into this. If you share your workflow with us we might be able to help.

I want to create a HD disc with my Adobe Premier Elements but I am getting low resolution. When I go to share the DVD to disc the form only offers 8pixels at the bottom. How do I burn this DVD in HD with higher number of pixels?

I want to create a HD disc with my Adobe Premier Elements but I am getting low resolution. When I go to share the DVD to disc the form only offers 8pixels at the bottom. How do I burn this DVD in HD with higher number of pixels? I have read other forums on burning HD DVD's but I do not see the option to turn the 8 pi into 40 pi the one forum recommended. I want my DVD to be HD so I may sell these videos online for my business. I can't sell them the low quality they are burning now. Hopefully you can help me. Thanks.

Thank you for your reply.
You cannot burn your high resolution video that you can view on your computer to an AVCHD on DVD disc
that will replay through a regular DVD player. But players are marketed under a variety of names with
different support opportunities. One manufacturer may call its product MultiMedia Player, media player, Blu-ray player,
etc.The bottom line is the specifications for each of the players that are candidates for the playback of
the AVCHD format on DVD disc or the format of interest.
If you upload your HD (1920 x 1080) video to YouTube, YouTube converts the video to flash format, but it goes up as the HD video.
But, beware. Look at the YouTube viewing setting when your uploaded video is playing back. The YouTube default is not
HD. It might be 360p, 480p. If you have a 1080p video, then before the YouTube playback, you should be looking
at the video with the YouTube 1080p HD setting for best viewing. That is a YouTube matter.
Best results depend on you
a. setting up the Premiere Elements project preset to match the properties of the source media. That means, if
you have 1080p source, you (manually) or the project (automatically) set the project preset at
NTSC
DSLR
1080p
DSLR [email protected]
or the PAL counterpart, depending on your region need.
b. if you upload your video to YouTube using the Premiere Elements feature, there is a HD preset, but you cannot
customize it.....if you need customization, then you can export your Timeline to a file...in this example
Publish+Share
Computer
AVCHD
with Presets = MP4 H.264 1920 x 1080p30 or PAL counterpart
and then customize the preset under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of that preset. In increase quality, you might look to increase
the Bitrate under Advanced Button/Video Tab settings - without compromising the file size.
Then you would upload that file to YouTube at the YouTube web site.
All of the above are factors that need looking into in order to determine the why for what you wrote
I have published a shortened advertisement video to YouTube- say 5 minutes-
and it is low quality
Often SD video upscaled to HD can present poorly. But, you are dealing with a HD workflow so that should not be introduced into the matter. The setup of the project and
the properties of the source video are important, but let us start with the above and rule in or out those considerations first.
Thank you. As always, any clarification needed, please do not hesitate to ask.

How do I save a large banner design (108" X 18") in PSD or PDF?

I design custom banners which include both text and images and have no problem saving my files as PSDs or PDFs as long as I stay under 96" wide. The minute I go wider, CS4 no longer gives me all my normal options, instead it gives me TIF, PSB, Photoshop RAW, or DICOM. I usually try to give my banner production house files that are not undersized as I don't want to have all the edges aliased and jaggy. Especially photographic portions of the banner. Is there a size limitation with CS4 Photoshop regarding saving in "normal" file formats? Typically I give my production house 300dpi PDFs and it works out great.
Thanks in advance for any/all advice.

Chris, Mike, Gator...
Thanks for your input. Mike... you're essentially saying I should downsize the artwork slightly and then reload into AI and convert to PDF after resizing. I have the full CS4 package although I confess that as a 15-year CorelDraw user, I never got into AI LOL... and now that I'm retired and doing these projects to keep the grey matter sharp... I don't know if I have the courage to try and convert my brain from CorelDraw to AI. But anyhow, your idea sounds like a do-able approach, certainly worth trying.
Gator... I honestly don't know for sure. I know they want artwork in 300dpi, and it should be in PDF or AI or CDR (CorelDraw) formats. And as much as I like CD for Vector work, Iequally love PS for general work... in fact, I probably use PS more than CD these days. I never bothered much with Corel's PhotoPaint even though I've been to Corel Seminars in the past. I will talk to my guys and see what they do before printing.

I found a similar question on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/2560x1080-resolution-macbook-resolution-option-/forum/Fx15 6DUSW1J104N/Tx14L2NHT4Y3F8K/1/ref=cm_cd_ql_tlc_al?_encoding=UTF8&asin=B00JM99DIU
It looks like you may need a mini-displayport to Displayport cable. You can also try holding the option key while clicking on "scaled" to see if the option you need comes up.

Get higher resolutions for extended desktop

We have a new iMac. We also have an older Apple Cinema HD display monitor that we're using with the iMac as an extended desktop. On the iMac, we're using 2560 x 1440 resolution; but the highest resolution we can get on the Cinema HD is only 1280 x 800. Does anyone know how we can get higher resolutions on our Cinema HD display monitor?

I've been looking for a way to have the screen resolution change for different Apps too. I can't find anything in Automator, but I hope there is a way.. Like you, I like my editing programs to be higher resolution and my finder, email and the rest to have a lower resolution.
