LR enlarging photo for print, what interpolation is it using?

LR enlages photos to fit paper size, anyone knows what it is using to do so, same as PS CS? how is the quality of the enlarged photo compared to other interpolated enlargement?

Yeah, I do the latter if it needs really high quality. If it doesn't need upscaling, which for me means smaller than about 12x18 I just go straight from LR. I do like LR's printing pane much better than the one in Photoshop. I don't print myself very much anymore though due to the large differential in cost with printing services that generally give results on par with (and in some respects better) the most expensive inkjets for far less money. You're just limited in types of paper and in gamut where inkjets beat the photographic processes.

Resizing a photo for printing

I am trying to resize a photo for printing to a 8x10 as it still crops off the top and bottom when printing. I took this with my D3100. How can I do this? I have tried printing several times.

Your image does not fit the 8x10 format - so it will always crop - probably not what you wanted to hear. But a couple of solutions for you:
Print the image on a larger paper so that it will fit, you will end up with a border - but will fit or
Resize the image in Photoshop - Image/Size to something like 9" high, that will automatically reduce the width of your image, but you will still end up with a border, but the whole image wil be there
Hope this helps, and maybe next time you can frame the image in camera to ensure your subject fits in a 4x5 ratio (leave a bunch of headroom at top and bottom)

LOADING PHOTOS FOR PRINTING

Two questions in 1.
When I try to load photos for printing to a commercial site (not Apple) I cannot find my albums in the menu. When I click on the albums folder under database there is nothing there. The only place I can find shows the photos in date order which is very laborious.
If I do load photos individually from the main library only the IMG description loads not my own added details. I have tried two separate suppliers but with the same result. When I used to upload from a PC the details would appear and come back printed on the reverse of the photo.
I cannot find any help menu item.

In the upload window use the media browser. In the extreme lower left hand corner under media ==> photos ==> iPhoto

Arranging the placement and order of photos for print or web

This is something I was expecting with the first Lightroom and it still seems to be clunky in 2.3...
Basically, there doesn't seem to be a way we can simply click and drag photos we want to be together and have them in orders of our choosing. The closest I've been able to find is when in picture package mode in the Print section. What is frustrating is that when I select most other templates, I can't just move the photos I want grouped together to where I'd like them to be. On the flip side, when in the picture package mode and I populate the frames by dragging photos to them, unlike contact sheet/grid mode, one can't move the photo around within that frame...
My understanding of Lightroom was that it made it easy for photographers to deal with their photos. For me, I like to be able to just move and group fluidly for print and web to see how pictures complement and flow regardless of tag, filename, or random selected order.
I can't imagine I'm the only one with this frustration, is there a remedy?

Thanks for that everyone you were right! I was being super-DUper sMart and Brilliant there and had only been trying to re-arrange within the layout window of the Print and Web areas. I think I was just assuming I was having the same trouble from Lightroom 1 and just stopped trying since it seemed the files either never moved or didn't stick (can't remember now). In any case, Thank you!

Best way to light photos for printing

Hi All,
I previously posted on the forum on what to do if my prints are too dark. After getting helpful feedback from other forum users and confirming with the pringint company, I made sure that my monitor is calibrated to 90 lumens. Now am wondering the best way to lighten the photos for export (as I can't see the impact of gamma like in the print dialog.)
Backgound:
I setup my macbook pro to get the correct color calibration to print correctly. (I am exporting to sRGB colorspace to send to the online printing company). After calibrating my laptop lcd, it is apparent (by sending a few test photos) that the prints still come out a little too dark. As I am working on a laptop, I am limited to how much the screen vs exported photos can be adjusted. Therefore, I am looking on the best way to retouch the photos for exporting. Also note that I am using apple aperture.
Which is the best way to lighten up the photos (or a group of images that are taken under different lighting situations exposures, that would also keep my workflow streamlined?
1. Adjust the images on export using a gamma adjustment. (easiest to implement but since aperture only shows gamma adjustments on printing and not exporting, setting this correctly will be a guess.)
2. Use a curves adjustment to lighten the photo. (Might be the easiest to implement and see the results but need to create separate version for viewing on screen vs printing which isn't hard but adds a layer complexity).
3. Use some of the exposure/brightness/showdow recovery sliders. (Unsure of the best sliders to use and each photo needs separate adjustments. In addition, like 2 above, separate versions would be need to display on screen vs printing).
4. (Other ideas?).
I'd appreciate everyone's thoughts.
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi,
The situation has changed a little, our original photos are in RAW format and some of them are slightly over saturated in the higher tones.
I've read on other threads that it is a good idea to run the 'Enhance' tool on all photos before sending the iPhoto Book away.
Since iPhoto's 'Enhance' tools seems to do a lot of helpful things like sharpen, adjust the levels, etc it also seems to notch the contrast up and this would prove destructive for the lighter and darker tones not captured by the camera's dynamic range.
So as I've been advised it's best to use Apple's own tools before sending the iPhoto Book away, so I'm going to download the trial of Aperture.
Does anyone have any more recommendations on which monitor colour profile setting to use etc. I've also read that iPhoto prints best from JPEGS so the RAW will obviously need changed. Will Aperture automatically save to Profile name: Camera RGB Profile after I've done some editing there?
What would be the best way to prepare RAW images in aperture where some of them might need an Image Overlay in Photomatix then imported back to Aperture for printing an Apple/iPhoto style Book?
Many thanks

Confused about color vs. b/w photos for printing...and more

I reading confusing things about exporting a PDF for printing with both color and black and white images used in the same document.
If I export to PDF and do a soft-proof and it looks okay, is that sufficient? If so, what's confusing about that, since this is my first print project, which Simulation Profile do I use? Is there a chart somewhere that compares U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2 to let's say 80 lb Gloss book with Aqueous coating (C2S)?
I don't know what any of this means. So, is there a good article on this site, elsewhere, or an online printer who can help a rookie like me ensure I end up with a decent product?
UPrinting.com advertises a "Free Project Review" that includes the following:

What should I do? Is this trustworthy as long as I get a contract proof? Is there a "Go To" online printer that everyone loves (not sure you can recommend that here) or should I seek out a local printer?
I'm using CS4 and have a file that's (maybe) ready to go but am looking at a learning curve of days if not weeks if I have to figure it all out myself.
Thanks everyone.
Paul

InDesign puts grayscale and B&W (bitmap mode) art on the Black plate, where it belongs, so if you soft proof using the CMYK profile for your expected output conditions your preview will be accurate for the grayscale and B&W images as they will appear in print. presuming your monitor is calibrated and profiled so that you can trust what you see.
Aqueous coating is applied AFTER the printing to protect, and possible enhance the glossiness of, the page (but not all coatings are glossy). This is not the same thing as printing on coated paper, which has a glossy surface and high ink holdout (and improves detail reproduction and usually will geive better color). You should be using whatever profile the printer has specified.

Trying to layout a photo for printing in iPhoto '09

I'm fairly new to a Mac and iPhoto and have been trying to get a photo to print half-size on an A4 sheet of paper and can't seem to do it. I'm using A4 photo paper and just want to re-size and layout a photo so it only takes up half the A4 sheet (i.e. A5) and then put another beside it to take up the other half. Previously on a PC and with PaintShopPro I could just resize and rotate photos so they were laid out on a page just the way I wanted them. Is this possible in iPhoto '09 or do I need to buy Aperture, Photoshop elements or PaintShopPro in order to do this?
Thanks

You want to print two photos on an A4 page, right?
1 - select the two photos and click on Print.
2 - set Page size to A4 borderless
3 - set Print size to Custom
4 - enter a width of A4's width less .25" and length to A4/2 less .25".
That should give you 2 photos per page with a minimal white border. If you try to set the width to exactly the width of the A4 page and exactly half the length it will revert to 1 photo per page. You can experiment with the .25" dimension a bit and might be able to get it a bit larger.

Whats most common naming convention for MP3s (what does iTunes store use?)

Trying to organise all my tags and music.
I am using iTunes and some other tag (tag%rename) WMP etc, as some seem to not show all the tgs of other programs)
However what is the generalised, most common naming convention for MP3 files?
ie. track no, Album, artist etc.
Also Ive never bought music from iTunes store yet, only got podcasts and stuff, but when you do , what is the filename convention they use please?
cheers
Mac OS X (10.5) iMac 20" 2Ghz (1st ever Mac Comp)

iTunes has no automatic tag look up function for anything other than CDs (through GraceNote). I import a lot of mp3s (legally obtained) that need tweaking. Also, GraceNote doesn't provide lyrics. If I just need to edit a couple of tracks, the iTunes interface is fine. But for bulk adding of artwork or searching for release dates or lyrics, I use MpFreaker. I find it works best if you do small batches and keep an eye on what it comes up with. Sometimes, well, rarely, it's way off base.
There may be better utilities out there but MpFreaker was recommended to me by someone I trust who spends a lot of time reviewing such things and it works for me so I haven't looked for anything else. You might find more reviews of other software at www.ilounge.com
Best of luck.

Email Photo for Printing

I want to email a photo that will be printed. What is the minimum resolution and size (pixel dimension or document size) that will produce a good home view quality; 4x6 print; 5x7 print; 8x10 print. Thanks

No need to be frustrated at the Apple Support lacewing. However you should access 'Help' at the menu bar at the top of the screen on top of the Application window (window). I am very sorry that I am not very familiar at 'Photo Lab' but there must be some sort of place to upload them.
Tip: Try looking for 'icc_profiles' related menu bars to access.
If I still haven't helped you anymore than you already know, either email me more information on this software (I am checking 'Photo Lab' now) or just reply in a more detailed description.
My email: [email protected]
Trust me, it's worth a try if you really need this.

Elements 13 will not custom scale a photo for print.

When I try to custom scale a photo, the sizes have no effect on the finished photo and leaves a vertical bar on either side in Elements 13. Elements 12 worked much better.

Found a fix for printing from Mac and PC using Airport Express!

I hope this helps somebody else because it's taken me hours and hours of frustration to trip over this solution. I have a MacBook, Airport Express and a Windows XP PC. Internet worked fine but I could not print form the PC via airport. I tied all the various links from iFelix (thanks to him for what sure seems like a lot of work to help others) but they didn't work. Here's what did...
To setup a printer using the Bonjour Printer Wizard:
1. Download the Bonjour for Windows installation package from the
Apple site http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/bonjour/.
2. Install Bonjour for Windows by launching the BonjourSetup.exe file from the folder where place it was downloaded.
3. Start the Bonjour Printer Wizard either by clicking its icon on the desktop or by selecting Start -> Programs -> Bonjour -> Bonjour Printer Wizard.
4. Follow the installation steps until the Install Bonjour Printer screen appears.
5. In the Install Bonjour Printer screen, select Generic in the Manufacturer list and then Generic / Postscript in the Model list. This step is the same for any printer model you have.
6. Follow the rest of installation steps.
The key is the Generic and Generic/Postscript settings. I also set up the Parallels program on my Mac. These instructions come from their documentation. It's the only thing I've found that works. Hope it helps some of you!

How do I use my ethernet connection for printing on my LAN and use my Wifi on a different router and ISP to connect to the internet?

I'm in a small office, and I have to use my ethernet connection to connect to the networked copier to be able to print, but connection to which I hooked my Time Capsule is literally 20x faster when connecting to the internet.
How can I tell the computer to use the ethernet connection to print, while everything else should go through wifi?
I have been manually going back and forth changing the order in Network Preferences between ethernet and Wifi, but I'm know there must be an easier way. Thanks for your help!

A packet going to Apple is not local. It is going to 17.149.160.49 -- So it is sent to the topmost working connection to be Routed and sent to the Internet.
A packet going to a local computer or other device that is on the same subnet (has an IP address very close to the topmost IP Address of your computer) gets sent out that port as well, but is sent directly to that computer on the local subnet, since no Routing [changing of Addresses} is needed.
A packet going to a local computer or Printer or Network Attached Storage device that is not on the topmost subnet, but is on a secondary subnet such as the second network connection would be sent directly to that computer, since no Routing is needed.
I do not understand why two Routers have the same IP Address if they are not cross-connected. That makes everything very difficult when it should be simple.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We're users here, not "Apple Inc."
You might have better a response to your questions by posting them in the OS X 10.4 Tiger forums: https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.4_tiger

This forum is for OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Since that version won't run on your PowerMac, you're not likely to get many helpful responses here.
In any case, I'll try to offer some basic troubleshooting suggestions:
The PS designation on your printer denotes the PostScript printer language. Is your applications software and current printer driver configured to send PostScript (or HP-GL or HP-PCL or ???)
Does ANY application print anything (even gibberish) to the printer?
HP still shows a DesignJet 500 series raster driver for OS X 10.4 Tiger available to download here:

Does the printer time-out with every program, or just one? Have you tried another cable?
OS X 10.5 Leopard is no longer sold by Apple. It was never sold as a download, sold only on CD/DVD disc. Discs might still be available for purchase on eBay.
OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" is the oldest version of OS X still sold by Apple, and it too is available ONLY on CD/DVD for $20, but it will not run on your PowerMac, because Snow Leopard requires an Intel processor: os x snow leopard requirements
HP DesignJet 500 basic printer documentation is available as a pdf document and downloadable file here: http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/psi/manualsResults?sp4ts.oid=2 5301&ac.admitted=1391720518005.876444892.199480143
How is the printer connected to the computer? Are you using a USB interface, a Centronics 'Parallel' interface, or a JetDirect network interface?
It appears that the network timeout default for the printer was 30 minutes, but it can apparently be set in the range of anything 30-seconds and longer. The manual notes that some software does not send an 'end of job' postscript marker, so that is the reason for the time-out setting.
